“The Bold and the Beautiful”
CBS

In March 2022, CBS announced it had renewed “The Bold and the Beautiful” for two additional seasons, keeping the series on the air through at least the 2023-2024 television season. What wasn’t known then was that built into that contract was an option to extend the deal to a third year.

Last week, shortly after the network announced it was picking up “The Young and the Restless” for an additional four seasons, it was reported that CBS would be exercising its one-year option for “The Bold and the Beautiful” as well. TV Line, which first reported the news of the extension, noted the current season renewals for the two CBS soaps ran through May 2024.

News of the “The Young and the Restless” renewal caused worry and confusion among fans of “The Bold and the Beautiful,” as they questioned why one show got a four-year pickup and the other only an extension. The matter was addressed at the top of the broadcast of “Bold Live” during the Friday, March 1 episode the popular YouTube series hosted by “The Bold and the Beautiful” supervising producer Casey Kasprzyk.

“Well, the truth is, we are two different shows with two different contracts, two different deals. So it’s not my place to really comment on it other than to say that we’re on a three-year deal, and so the third year was picked up, [which is] the way it works,” commented Kasprzyk within the first three minutes of “Bold Live,” adding, “So next year will be when we negotiate for a brand new contract. So we are currently on a deal that gives us one more year. So we’re on through 2025.”

In closing, Kasprzyk said, “Thank you, CBS, we love being on CBS, and we couldn’t be happier. So we’ll have more news next year, and hopefully, we’ll be here for a very, very long time. So, just wanted to clear that up.”

Kasprzyk’s comments came before Wednesday’s announcement that CBS is developing a new daytime drama series called “The Gates.” Michele Val Jean, a former scriptwriter at “The Bold and the Beautiful” who departed the soap last month after a 12-year run, is spearheading the potential series as showrunner, executive producer and writer.

That said, there is no reason to believe “The Gates” news has any bearing on the future of “The Bold and the Beautiful” on CBS. Additionally, the network has not stated when it hopes to launch “The Gates” should it order it to series. Unlike most primetime shows, a daytime soap opera can take as little as several months to several years before it evolves from an idea to becoming a reality on television screens.

Traditionally, CBS has given two-year renewal orders for “The Bold and the Beautiful.” The most recent renewal in 2022 marked the first time CBS had an extension option built into the contract for an additional year that could be exercised when the time came.

Launch March 23, 1987, “The Bold and the Beautiful” airs Weekdays at 1:30 p.m. ET/12:30 p.m. PT on CBS, following all-new episodes of “The Young and the Restless.” The late William J. Bell and the late Lee Phillip Bell created both shows, which combined have taken home 14 Daytime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Drama Series

Watch Kasprzyk on “Bold Live” below. The show also includes an extensive conversation with “The Bold and the Beautiful” star Tanner Novlan (Dr. John “Finn” Finnegan).

      Another World Discussion Thread

      My comment has nothing to do with cast resentment, but does relate to the Finland location shoot: It may be a coincidence, but Jim Matthews died in Finland in 1982.  Hugh Marlowe's final episode was in April 1982, but the character probably didn't die untll May or June. (I'm unable to find the character's date of death, only the date of Marlowe's final episode). SInce Jim and Rachel had very little interaction after around 1975, it is unlikely Jim's death in Finland had any connection to Rachel's potential visit, but the choice to have Jim die in that location at that time is a head-scratcher.  I'm sure the writers sent Jim on an extended trip (and off-screen) because of Marlowe's illness.  But Finland seems like a strange choice considering the (then) recently cancelled location shoot.

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Aback · Posted

      I totally understand your sloths concern about it and I agree with you. Let’s hope the show plays it’s cards right.    Further comments about the last few episodes: - I liked that one of the attendees was filming the scene. That’s realistic. I wonder if the writers will follow up with that.  - Martin and Smitty trying to drag Leslie out was very heteronormative, so perfectly in line with them two as characters lol.    As for the future: it’s obvious the Duprees will come to accept Eva one way or another, but the rivalry with Kay should be here for the long term   On the topic of acting: the only bad actors I’m seeing are Ted and Derek. Tomas hasn’t proven to be either good or bad, so far, but he’s certainly mediocre and uncharismatic. He sucks the energy out of the scenes and I don’t see any couple of women ever vying for him.

      I’m trying to think which actors VW were working with at the time, and none of them had been there for a while. Even like Mac and Ada didn’t have that big of a part in Rachel’s storyline.  And Jamie was involved with all that movie stuff.

      Brooke did ads before ATWT too. That probably helped get her the job. After ATWT she seemed to branch more into hosting, along with ads.  I think I saw Kelley in an ad or two, but you're right she wasn't on as much.

        Thanks for sharing these. I wonder if Charles might have been in the running for Adam. I know Preacher was a bit of a bad boy at times on EON, but Neal seemed to be a step down, and Robert Lupone had played a similar part on AMC. Given the huge cast turnover at this point I wonder who thought they had been there long enough to go.  Laura Malone/Chris Rich would get a remote within the next year.

      Interesting.  It seems to allude to that statement that Warren Burton made around that time about some AW actors getting special treatment.  I wonder who was resentful about not getting to go.

      The Madonna Thread

      By Maxim · Posted

      Under all of Madonna's social media today there is this wave of negative, toxic, absurd comments by Lady Gaga fans telling her how Gaga surpassed her in concert in Copacabana. I mean... Who the hell cares? Why are these fan communities so freaking toxic??? I'm sure Madonna doesn't care... But still. Have some respect for M. Leave her social media alone. Go cheer Gaga and be happy. Why come and spew hate on M??? Crazy world.

      In Loving Memory: Ruth Buzzi (Letitia Bradford, Days, 1983)

      By Contessa Donatella · Posted

      FYI, again, Ruth/Letitia is not in either of these 2 episodes. So that concludes the 4 episodes I had from Nov. 1983. I don't have the October episodes.

      Eddie has begun uploading the 1990 episodes. I'm so happy about that. I was mindfully taking a break till there's plenty of episodes I can binge watch when I feel like it. Now that 1989 is complete... I can't wait to press play on February 1989 and resume where I left off.
