In naming Bell, and several others to new posts, President Obama stated, “I am grateful these accomplished individuals have agreed to join this Administration, and I’m confident they will serve ably in these important roles. I look forward to working with them in the coming months and years.”
For those of us in the soap world, we know of Colleen’s work with The Bold and the Beautiful, and as one half of Bell power couple along with her husband, executive producer and head writer of B&B … Brad Bell!
In the official press release on President Obama’s appointees it says of Colleen: “Colleen Bradley Bell is a Producer for Bell-Phillip Television Productions, Inc., a position she has held since 2012.

Congratulations! But I do wonder about qualifications for the USA diplomatic corps when these appointments are made. Will Forrester open a Budapest office? Can we send Brooke Logan there?

LOL.
funny stuff.
considering… how ??? popular internationally B&B is…
yeah… they need to ensconce the lauded… trampolina… and fans think sharon is.. but… I beg to differ on the exploits and/o exploitation of KKL.
maybe… the new uber masculine take no prisoners… Ridge… will whip her in to shape… and render her submissive… oh wait.. she already is… to the forresters anyway
Ridiculous!!!! I’ve never heard of her b4 this2!! She’s not qualified for a job like this!!! There’s a BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SHOW BUSINESS & THE OTHER STUFF SHE’S DONE!!!! I DON’T CARE IF PEOPLE DON’T LIKE WHAT I’M SAYING!!!!
I believe you
and concur
absolute asinine
What in her resume qualifies her to be Ambassador to Hungary??
What does an ambassador do? Will she move to Hungary? I guess giving parties for BO paid off.
I see a lot of art and charitable “board” type experience in the listing, but where is the political science, policy, diplomatic and Hungarian knowledge credentials? Perhaps she possesses these necessary qualities and they weren’t mentioned in this article, or is this another reward for left leaning political fundraisers?
“…political science, policy, diplomatic and Hungarian knowledge credentials?”
incredulous… to merit such grandiose
I ask you: Ms. Bell
preposterous
These ambassadorships are fluff positions. They do nothing but have/go to parties and make nice with people. The President gives these positions away to people who give/raise a lot of money for them. So in that respect, she’s qualified 🙁

B&B’s Matthew Atkinson On Gaining Custody of Douglas: “Thomas Just Wants to Take His Rightful Place”
On The Bold and the Beautiful, Thomas (Matthew Atkinson) wants to be more of an active father to his son, Douglas (Django Ferri), who has been living with Hope (Annika Noelle) and Liam (Scott Clifton).
When confronted with this news, Hope is not too happy, because she could lose being mother to the little boy, who she has come to love as her own.

In the latest issue of Soap Opera Digest (on newsstands now), Atkinson shared on the story: “Thomas just wants to take his rightful place. He’s not saying they are no longer a family. It’s just the opposite. He’s not prying Douglas away from Hope. He knows Douglas has bonded with Hope, Liam and Beth, and he believes they can all make it work.”
The question is, will Thomas resort to extreme measures as he has in the past to get what he wants, or will he work this out with Hope and Liam?
Check out the latest promo for this week’s action on B&B below.
Now let us know, do you want Thomas to have more of a relationship with his son, Douglas? Should the boy live between all three ‘parents’? Should Douglas fight for solo custody? Comment below.
