Description

For over two decades, set among the majestic mansions and glamorous fashion houses of Beverly Hills and Malibu, the epicenters of Los Angeles, and traveling from the canals of Venice, Italy to the skyscrapers of Sydney, Australia to the tropical beaches of St. Thomas, THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL has explored the entangled lives, passionate loves, high-stakes battles, loyalties, tragedies, and the inspiring triumphs of the Forrester, Logan, Spencer, Marone, and Spectra dynasties. With romance, sensuality, complex characters and intricate and compelling storylines, THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL is, at its core, a gripping tale of high fashion glamour, honor and most importantly, family.

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL boasts four original cast members who remain integral parts of the story structure: Susan Flannery (Stephanie Forrester), Katherine Kelly Lang (Brooke Logan), John McCook (Eric Forrester) and Ronn Moss (Ridge Forrester). Throughout its long history, many of Hollywood’s most famous names have made appearances on the show. Patrick Duffy recurs as Stephen Logan, father of the Logan girls, Brooke, Donna and Katie. Betty White (Ann Douglas) made daytime television history in November 2009 by leading an all female cast on THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL in the poignantly written and performed story arc of Ann coming home to make amends with her daughters Stephanie and Pam, as well as herself, before she dies.

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL’S 23rd anniversary storylines center around the secret that Bridget (Ashley Jones) and Owen (Brandon Beemer) are keeping from their spouses, Aggie’s (Sarah Brown) unrequited love for Nick (Jack Wagner), Steffy’s (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) plans to steal Oliver (Zack Conroy) away from her step-sister Hope (Kimberly Matula) in her further attempt to get rid of the Logans once and for all and Whip (Rick Hearst) and Taylor’s (Hunter Tylo) newfound love and how that love will affect Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Ridge (Ronn Moss).

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL has remained current and topical with storylines touching on issues such as HIV, drug and alcohol dependency, rape, homelessness, the trauma of serious illness, child abuse and most recently Alzheimers Disease.

Since May, 2001, THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL has been the only daytime drama to simulcast in Spanish via SAP (Secondary Audio Program) technology.
