Love B&B! I would love if it were an hour! Pleeese keep Liam!!!
Please keep the Bold and Beautiful,can’t seem to get into Beyond the gates.
I love this show me and my mom watched it everyday together before she past. I remember when she work in the day time she made me watch to tell her what happened. I would have watched anyway
I’ve been a fan since ’87. I’m old school fan, back when there was glamor, class and great romance and storylines.. I’m sickened with Luna free and no consequences. We get enough of that in real life. I quit watching, crazy storylines.
Same old story lines. Stale, needs something other than the Ridge triangle.
I’m absolutely over the moon happy they renewed B&B
I watch it every week. I tape it every day
The Bold and Beautiful best soap hands down! We love it keep it!
Don’t cancel. The show is great.
Please DO NOT cancel Bold and Beautiful.
Renew! I wish they would have extended it to one hour instead of creating a new one! I won’t be watching the new one..
Please keep the BOLD & BEAUTIFUL, it is the best soap..i watch the young & restless, but if I shoukd miss seeing it, it doesn’t bother me much because it so drawn out that I can easily put the pieces I’ve missed together, so don’t mind if I have things to do & miss it..BUT…AS FIR THE THE BOKD & BEAUTIFUL..IT IS SO CAPTIVATING THAT YOUKK REGRET MISSING “ANY” EPISODES…as for beyond tge gates…”ITS REALLY GOOD SO FAR”
