What do you think? Do you still like The Bold and the Beautiful TV series? Would you like to see it cancelled or renewed for additional seasons?
The show needs to be cancelled. It’s old and tired. Same old storylines being recycled. Also, the show has WAY too many commercials. If you subtract the time for commercials the show is less than 20 minutes. Hardly worth the watch.
They need new writers. Same old all the time. The RJ actor is so bad. He turns my stomach and I can’t watch him. He has no acting skills at all. It’s bad enough we have to watch Ridge and Brooke all the time but now RJ. Don’t watch anymore and won’t until they get new storylines and no longer have that RJ!!!!
The Bold and the Beautiful has really been getting better and more intriguing over the past few months. The introduction of the new R.J. (played by Joshua Hoffman) has really breathed a lot of new life into the storyline. And having R.J.’s grandfather, Eric Forrester, work with him on a new clothing line is a great dynamic. I think more 20-something actors will probably be added to join R.J. which will make the show a bit more appealing to younger audiences.
This show needs to be cancelled. The storylines are old, boring, and recycled too many times. Doesn’t hold my interest anymore. Hate the show now.
Really sick of Liam/ Steffy story line, Sappy Liam needs some balls and new facial expressions .
I love B&B! Love the Hope and Thomas hot love story going on now! Hope they keep them together! I have watched B&B since it began, recording it when I am working, and watching it when I get home!
I enjoy watching the show, and my husband watches it with me. I started watching the Bold and the Beautiful about ten years ago or longer. I quit watching Days because the show carried on way too long with secrets and added supernatural. The Bold and the Beautiful doesn’t drag out secrets too long, as the show tends to move alone. I would definitely like to see the Bold and the Beautiful continue.
It just drags. On.
I would like to see it go on forever. I never miss an episode.
