Celebration time.

“Twenty-eight years on television is a tremendous achievement. I work with a brilliant ensemble of cast, production crew, writers and staff. I am grateful to CBS for their unwavering support and for their longstanding commitment to ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’. None of this would be possible without the steadfast loyalty and dedication of our fans around the world.”
