From October 21st through the 26th, Karla Mosley (Maya), Jacob Young (Rick) and Heather Tom (Katie) will visit Johannesburg and Cape Town.

“I’m so thankful that after 30 years, our South African viewers and our broadcaster, SABC3, remain an integral part of our extended television family,” said The Bold and the Beautiful Executive Producer and Head Writer Bradley Bell. “To celebrate this occasion, we’re sending Karla, Heather, and Jacob in person to convey our warm greetings and gratitude to our fans.”

I think one reason is that the show still sticks to the half hour format. I can’t say great stories because all the shows have great stories. It is good to see that this show reaches out to so many people in the world. We should see many more years of B&B with news like this.
The international embrace of B&B is notable but I think the serial is produced with that in mind, hence the lack of depth. It plays like telenovelas where the over-the-top surprises and endless bedroom dances serve as forefront plots. That approach makes it my least favorite of the four legacy daytime dramas on the air now. But I will never deny this unprecedented success, a factor that keeps CBS the lone network that embraces daytime as a viable programming option and promotes it.
Hi Lakovas,. I totally agree with you.
Sorry, meant to write Lakovos.
I keep hoping that NBC and ABC take notes from… CBS
before it’s too late
BUILD around your daytime . respectively, we all want this genre to survive
hats off to CBS
another hope – that NBC and ABC – know – that their daytime would be gone if not for – Days of OUR Lives and General Hospital
B&B didn’t get this way by being unadventurous and ugly… 🙂
“that” is a powerplay pic.. if ever
which should be the “sole” focus of this show
who’s tired of : Brooke and Ridge? I’d throw Katie in that , as well
this show ought to be all about : Rick and Maya period
for it to be relevant and show
I hope we get a heads up .. on the debut of Ingo Rademacher
Really? Where in Soweto will they be?
