I admit that has crossed my mind hearing this news. So thank you.

 

It does sound like they are trying to beef up their daytime soap lineup. It would be nice to see it start to outperform everyone in sight in time.

I expect to hear news on Beyond the Gates' future at CBS no later than July. Although CBS is a co-owner, I'd think with P&G Studios' involvement, they might do renewal announcements like they do with B&B and Y&R. They could also not say anything and it continues to air until it doesn't like you noted about GH.

Live+7 and streaming have now become "multiplatform" viewing, which is why the show has a bigger number when factoring in those figures than it used to when we had Live+7 data. Back then, the show was lucky to see a boost of 200,000 viewers after seven days from just the CBS broadcast. With about 2.6 million viewers watching this season (a little more than that), to "nearly" average 3.2 million for the season would mean about 300-400,000 additional viewers come from people watching on Paramount+ and CBS TVE (CBS App and CBS.com).

That being said, as noted in my article on the renewal:

During the week of March 31-April 4, 2025, the most recent week in which Live+Same Day ratings data is available, the soap opera ranked third among unrounded Women 18-49 (0.33 rating), topping “TODAY 3rd Hour” (0.32 rating) and even “The Young and the Restless” (0.31 rating), for the first time this season.

I remember Bradley Bell referring to 2024 as one of the best... if not the best season of the show.

That's the moment I lost hope. Any last ounce of hope. BUT... I am still happy. Bold has been my childhood-forming soap... and I would not want to let it go. I'll be there till the last... bitter day. I'll be the bish drinking vodka on the Titanic just to stay warm and survive couple of more seconds more.

As of today B&B is the 8th longest-running daytime drama on US network television, after General Hospital, Guiding Light, Days, As the World Turns, Y&R, One Life to Live, All My Children.

Two key dates:

Tuesday March 23, 2027 will be B&B 40th anniversary.

Monday December 11, 2028 if B&B is still on CBS, it will have had a longer run than All My Children on US network television.

I'm happy for all the crew and all in the cast who work hard, as well as being happy for a soap to still be on the air. I don't really have any connection to B&B and haven't in a very long time - probably the last was when Darlene Conley died - but I'm happy for those left who do. Most of all I am just glad that CBS is still committed to their soaps after a long period where I wasn't sure how true that was going to remain.

By 2028 I fully expect Thudley to hire Amanda Setton as either Taylor #5 or #6 @Taoboi @Maxim @YRfan23

Same here. The show had its chance to revisit the Spectra’s years ago but of course they blew it epically…and for the last 5 years our Sally Spectra II has been on Y&R. Go figure.

Some of the recent stories tells me what a lack of imagination Thudley has for the show. Instead of bringing on an already established presence like a Diana Carter or something we got some convoluted twist that Luna is Finn’s daughter and thus Sheila’s granddaughter and that’s why she is psycho…or some nonsense. I stopped watching the show.

 

@kalbir I guess the CBS executives didn’t see my proposal for the show to be moved to 3:30/2:30 either

    • The Bell soaps, B&B and Y&R: cannot watch. If I went by the last time I did I would have to give them both D- but I really don't think it counts when you're not a daily watcher.  DAYS: B+ (Now this is with the knowledge that for years I have given this show a D- because I've been a fan for too long to give it the F it deserved.) GH: A+ (With Korte driving this bus to me the show is so much better! IMO we just had the best NB in so many years I cannot count!) BTG: A solid (Things I love, a few I do not, nothing I hate, still find it in general remarkable.) As always, thanks for doing this thread. I count it. I always look for it & I always post. 
    • Okay, I continue to maintain that what is so good about this particular reveal followed by umbrella storyline is that you can see & understand many different points of view where there is not one bad guy or one 100% right person.  About your stated opinion, that Lois & Gloria did the right thing, you know that this was technically an illegal adoption? For it to have been legal the father, if known, would have to have been informed & have signed off on terminating his own paternal rights. And, of course, it is clear how many people they lied to.  Personally I feel like Lois is going to take the biggest "public" blame with Lulu a close second in the blame category. I am looking forward to a tongue lashing I hope Brook Lynn gives to Gloria. I continue to be more than annoyed with Dante. First his attitude toward Gio with regards to Rocco & a drinking game & its results. Second his attitude toward Lulu. Meanwhile enjoying the show every day!
    • Lois and Gloria did the right thing I feel knowing it was Camila that raised Gio has BL feeling some jealousy No one is saying that Camila was a bad mother to Gio I believe it will be Gio saying that Camila was great to him, thanking Lois and Gloria to get BL to see truth
    • Its realistic for Dani and  true of how the character thinks and operates. We've known her long enough to by that this would be consistent with her past characterizatioin
    • Random takes: - What was even the point of that jeweler guy? Also—Dani was borderline harassing him. - I know I’m probably in the minority here, but I want Jacob and Kat to happen. I need something messy to completely dismantle the Duprees—and Katomas just isn’t cutting it.  - I officially can’t stand Jacob and his wife. Same goes for Anita and Vernon. - Hayley’s corset was just as ugly as it looked uncomfortable. - I genuinely don’t remember when or how Derek and Ashley reconciled—and I’m someone who didn’t even mind their storyline! LMAO. - Tuesday’s episode was a mess. - Dani finding out about Hayley’s pregnancy and immediately thinking, “She’s faking it”—huh?! What writer thought that was a realistic reaction? I get denial, but that leap was absurd. I agree the ‘Leslie Victorious’ moment was way OTT. But hey, at least I wasn’t yawning. The following episode, where she handed over her daughter’s last few belongings was much better. - I can’t with the constant back-and-forth between Orphey Gene’s and the Country Club. I forgot this was such a soap trope, but even back in my loyal viewer days (late ‘90s, early 2000s), it wasn’t this bad. While GH has a ton of beautiful sets, we’re stuck with the same three—and half of them are ugly. Also: it’s been way too long since we had a party, gala, or any kind of event. I know the Richardsons’ anniversary gala (back in late April) has had a big ripple effect, but I was kinda getting used to those large-scale episodes. Fingers crossed they don’t go with Guza.  
    • The horrific comments execs and writers make when they justify rape storylines or keeping rapists as love interests is just so icky. I remember Ron Carlivati's comments about the reraping of Marty storyline on OLTL. Made my skin crawl.  No matter what you think of her, Susan Lucci could have demanded front burner storylines but she never did. She was happy to be part of an ensemble. I never got that vibe from Zimmer.  For me, Reva was just not a character I cared that much about after a certain point no matter how talented Zimmer is/was. I think Zimmer had a keener eye for what made a good storyline, but she was less willing to take a backseat if it meant someone else got to shine. I'm trying to recall if she ever mentions Michelle Forbes in her book--one of the few times the viewers did not care about Reva in a storyline. My sense is if she did, it was probably some backhanded remark about how she had to show Forbes the ropes.    
    • GH was good? I havent watched since Joss went away to do her traininig and Lulu had just called Brooklyn out for having Dante's baby and not telling him
    • BTG: A-  DAYS: B+  Eastenders: C
    • There was a rumor that Jean will die and that’s probably why she’s back then
    • There has been some confusion about Michael & facial burns. Please see this post: https://bsky.app/profile/shallotpeel.bsky.social/post/3lqkrryu54226 I've chosen to put this here instead of the Classic Thread because it is now with the appearance of recast Michael that this has come up. Different places online, including at least one podcast, remarks have been made about how remarkable it is that he is without facial scarring. Other fans say it was clear from the first that he did not have facial burns. What is included in this post is 2 screengrabs where you can see his face at the hospital & a very quick edit of that day in the hospital.
