3/2/2022 update: CBS has renewed The Bold and the Beautiful TV show for two more years — seasons 36 and 37.
So sick of the crap with Steffy and Liam which will probably start again with Finn killed off….why couldn’t things be left with Steffy happy with Finn and Hope with Liam. Also sick of Taylor keep coming back and trying to get Ridge back. I am ready to quit watching completely, already skip a lot of days when Taylor is on. If it starts up with oh poor Steffy needing Liams comfort crap, I will definitely be through watching this show after having watched it for years and years!!
I agree. I have watched since the beginning, but not much at all since Sheila, Deacon, and Taylor’s characters came back..like REALLY?!! No thank you
It has interesting and relevant characters but honestly I was more sold on it once they got Stephie her own love interest and stopped the whole back-and-forth between Hope and her for Liam that is as it should be ~ but I am so turned off to this Ridge Brooke and Taylor thing I am very close to not watching the show anymore – there’s zero reason Ridge should be going back to Taylor and it makes the storyline ludicrous in my opinion – it’s beyond the been there done that phase – and it’s now literally just maddening enough… Read more »
I stopped watching after the first of the year. The new storyline is beyond boring. I record it because I work. I used to enjoy coming home to watch it but lately I just delete it. I am waiting to see if they move on before closing the door completely.
Same with me. I record it, but have been deleting when I see the synopsis. Just getting dumb with the returns of irrelevant characters. Trying to make them relevant now is sickening. I have also not closed the door..hoping they get it back together soon.
Keep B&B alive!! But change the 30 minute show to 1 hour. This show has lots of untold stories. Its why others are saying they are lost in this show.
Bring back characters such as Nick Mazamo (and his son Jack), bring back Brightett for the assorted lie that she was involved with her mother(Brooke).
Keep Shelia and Deacon they are currently making the show real interesting. Have Deacon fight for Brooke and Ridge fight for Brooke.
This will keep the war between Forresters and Logans lively.
Please dump Brooke. Send her and Deacon back to the Valley. Ridge can go with Taylor or Shauna, anyone but Brooke. Ridge needs to have better. She has a repetitive habit of jumping from any man’s empty bed to another. Only sorry when she gets caught. She just needs to be gone.
They can cancelled it because they have run out now. Brooke and Ridge story has taking it course. Steffy acts if they two years ago and trying to get her parents back together. This is sad all these grown ass people don’t know what to do.
B&B is becoming a pain it just goes on and on about the same thing. There like dogs with a bone let it go. 3 weeks later still talking about brook drinking. Or Paris with that kiss. Oh my god.
Write something else
I have been watching for decades. But I am so bored with the show lately. Sad they’re making Carter out to be a bad guy now he should find someone who’s not involved with anyone. The storylines just are not very good lately
Get rid of Sheila! Please hook up Ridge and his ex-wife please please please. Love to see Deacon hook up with Brooke. Give Carter a break with Paris. Hope and Thomas need to be hooked up together
Could someone please tell me who the redhead lady with all the people at the beginning of the show????
Please don’t cancel BB Mother age 83 AND I WATCH IT EVERY DAY MOM HAS PARKINSON AND DEMENTIA but never forgets that we watch BB and the young and the restless. Please keep it on
Please do not cancel, I watch the show every day and really enjoy it.
Why would B&B even fathom bringing back Sheila and Deacon? That stories been played out a long time ago. I have stopped watching this fiasco. Maybe B&B wanted to leave a bad taste in everyones mouth rather than have the soap find happiness for many..
Just started watching the Bold and the Beautiful a year ago, after not watching it for about 2 yrs! Was really enjoying it , but why do they have to make it so predictable, and so repetitious! They had to bring Sheila and Deacon back, so now Sheila will make it so Brooke gets intoxicated and probably winds up spending the night with Deacon an Ridge will leave and go back to Taylor. It’s just so boring now the same stupid crap has to start all over again! Why can’t they just leave Ridge and Brooke together! It would be… Read more »
I have watched the show for many years, like it to stay. However I would like to see Sheila gone. Can’t stand that woman.
I do not like the Eric / Quinn storyline. As a married couple, they should have seen a Doctor … together … and discussed the ED problem and found ways to “handle” it properly. And privately. As would be expected of “regular people” in public. A teaching “story” for those who really need the help. I am very disappointed in this STUPID storyline. The audacity of anyone making light of such a serious problem. I have stopped watching because of it. And because of Sheila. Mark me down as boycotting.
