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

      This is just a guess but I feel like the fact that they keep mentioning her dead husband is for a reason. We know Martin has a secret that likely involved someone dying. Martin's victim could be Alan which Leslie/Dana either knows about or finds out and she uses that to blackmail the family into letting her crimes slide.

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

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      Just thinking how the Ruth/Leticia guest spot really cemented how Days had changed. Stunt casting with a campy/comedy character in a 'wacky' storyline was something that a few years previously would have been completely out of place on Days (and most other soaps for that matter).

      I am interested to see how they handle Leslie/Dana down the road. If she continues in this path, it would be unrealistic to have her around. Like other shows have done this with a 'villian' character and ended up with people looking stupid putting up with someone they detest. Another thought-could they be building up to a murder story? Maybe Les/Dan will be left in a coma and we will have a whodunit with several characters as suspect. It would also be a chance to redeem her I wonder how long the show will go w/o resorting to soap cliche stories-twins,switched at birth, murder mystery, long lost child etc

      Yeah, Martin really did make me laugh when him and Smitty jumped up to drag Leslie out. I am interested in seeing how this fallout will impact his storyline as well. Especially since he is so protective regarding his family/family's image. I am interested in seeing how he will interact with Eva for the time being, they did have a warmer interaction earlier on once they met. But he seems to have doubts about her possibly being Ted's right now. I wonder how long it might take for him to come around with her. I could see the younger generation warming up to her quicker than the older ones. Though of course I think there will be anger/tension for a while regarding the reveal and her role in it. Perhaps Naomi/Chelsea will ease up on Eva first then eventually Martin/Kat might down the line. I really do love Nicole. I'm glad that DD is playing her. She really is the heart of the family and also agree the show. She is so easy to root for and I'm looking forward to seeing how things work out for her. I am enjoying the development of most of the characters on this show. I enjoy most of them including Bill with his trifling self lol. I do feel that Bill's love for his daughters is genuine and that gives him some depth. A few of the characters I don't care for that much (like Bill, Ashley, Vanessa). I wasn't too big on Andre at first, but I am warming up more to him as the actor is settling into the role. I like most of the characters on this show. Also, I am interested in seeing what happens if Eva indeed goes and lives with the new doctor that was introduced. I could see this adding another layer to her story, maybe she will become more vixen-ish, on what type of relationship they end up having. And/or maybe she will end up becoming more hardened as she deals with being an outcast, especially if she falls out with Leslie as well. I think that AM will do a good job of showcasing the different layers of this character as she deals with the fallout of the affair/paternity reveal.

      Got another sad news from the Bahamian community (not a celebrity)  https://www.instagram.com/p/DJMSrYCgyes/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== Former Bahamian Senate President J Henry Bostwick, Husband of former 1st Bahamian Female Cabinet Minister Dame Janet Bostwick is dead yesterday on his 86th birthday.    Thanks and for those who've aren't familiar with the talk shows in The Bahamas on this thread here, his talk show named The Freedom March with Dr Rodney Moncur that airs on ILTV and The Beat 103.5 FM Nassau every weekday afternoons. IIRC, he suffered a illness before he died.  Here's the link for his final taping of the show before his death: https://ewnews.com/this-is-powerful-rodney-moncurs-final-sign-off/

      One thing I thought about is if Hayley will have a reaction to Bill threatening to kidnap and sell a baby. That's another level of viciousness and with her just having thought she was pregnant it might make her feel some type of way.

      Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

      You're welcome. Fall 1982-Spring 1985 was the peak of primetime soaps. What a time to have been alive.

      Ratings from the 1990s

      By kalbir · Posted

      1990/91 Cheers, Roseanne, A Different World, The Cosby Show, Empty Nest, The Golden Girls were still Top 10 shows, and Murphy Brown and Designing Women became Top 10 shows. It was the following season that I think was the transition season for sitcoms.
