Great news for The Bold and the Beautiful and their long-awaited payoff: that the little girl being raised by Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) as “Phoebe” is really Liam (Scott Clifton) and Hope’s (Annika Noelle) daughter, Beth, who they believed had died in the long and twisty baby switch storyline.

B&B was the highest rated daytime television show in the key 25-54 womens demo and the first time in the 32-year-old history of the CBS sudser that it has been atop of that demo. That is not only among the network soaps but all series genres in daytime for the week of August 5-9 – quite the feat.

During the ratings week, Liam figured out that Phoebe was Beth, and eventually after Thomas’ (Matt Atkinson) manipulations told Hope the truth.

All this goes to show that as frustrated as viewers get wanting the truth to come out in a story they follow; when it finally does, they are along for the ride. Something B&B executive producer and head writer, Brad Bell does exceptionally well with big umbrella storylines that hold major ramifications for many on the canvas.

Congrats to Brad and the B&B team!

So, what do you think of BOLD’s performance in the ratings for the big week in story? Comment below

The players knocked their scenes out of the park. Easy to see why JMW won the Emmy this year!

I totally agree with you Mark. When Steffie collapsed in her fathers arms I felt her pain and I was crying right along with her. I wonder how they can just turn it on and off like that. I said the same thing about Hope when she did the hospital scene crying with the baby in her arms. Excellence by all.

I am hoping that someone new does come in for Steffie. To me. Liam has always been more Hopes type and I hope they leave them to their happiness for awhile. But it is a soap opera so their happiness will be short lived. But if they start the Hope Liam Steffie merry-go-round yet again, I will consider taking a break. There have not been any new men sniffing around that I know of. The males that are left on the show are either taken or related to her I guess time will tell. Happy viewing and sorry for the… Read more »

Good Job B&B! I know I can be critical of all the remaining soaps…love, respect, adore with a passion and have an affinity for home/safe and a connection to another time and childhood. This art form we call soap opera is the little that engine could.

Make us laugh, make us cry, make us care.

This is no surprise even if i thought they ended the story a little early. I just say that because of how long the baby switch went on between Lauren and Sheila on Y&R. Everything was powerful once that reveal started falling into place. My god…to watch Steffie breaking down in her father’s arms broke my heart in so many pieces. Watching the makeup running down her face, you knew Jacqueline wasn’t playing any crocodile tears in those scenes. I am very, very happy that B&B broke records thanks to this story.

The long wait pays dividends for B&B! Congrats – The show should overtake Y&R soon. I expect B&B as a hot contender for Best Daytime Drama and Annika Noelle and Scott Clifton for Best Actress and Actor. Great work and heartfelt. Lots of Emmy material!

B&B’s Jacqueline MacInnes Wood Talks Motherhood, Steffy’s Opioid Addiction and Love Life on ‘Home & Family’

June 17, 2021

Daytime Emmy Award winner and a nominee again this year for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Daytime Drama Series, The Bold and the Beautiful’s Jacqueline MacInnes Wood (Steffy Forrester) chatted with Home & Family.

During her segment, Jacqui discussed becoming a mom again for the second time and welcoming her new son, Lenix, and balancing raising two boys with playing the day to day perils of Steffy Forrester.

As soap fans know, last year’s storyline where Steffy became addicted to painkillers provided her with meaty material which landed her as one of the frontrunners for next week’s 48th annual Daytime Emmy Awards to air on Friday night, June 25th on CBS.

MacInnes Wood became emotional when telling how Steffy’s addiction intervention helped others, relating: “I was flooded with all of these messages, and this one woman reached out to me and she said her son… it still gets me emotional … but her son was addicted and that intervention was the same thing with her family, and it touched me in such a way and she said luckily that he is sober now.”

Jacqui also talked about Steffy’s on-screen love life …. and her real-life love and husband, Elan Ruspoli.

You can watch the full interview segment here.

So, what do you think of Jacqueline raising a new baby boy, being a mom to the other, while playing Steffy’s emotional storylines? Comment below.

B&B’s Don Diamont Granted Restraining Order Against Alleged Stalker

June 15, 2021

The Bold and the Beautiful’s Don Diamont (Bill Spencer) was granted a temporary restraining order in L.A. County Superior Court against 37-year-old Quincy Adams; who Diamont says has been harassing him and his family since back in January.

According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Diamont alleges that Adams took to YouTube saying Don was a Satanist and responsible for COVID, 9/11, and the Iraq war. In addition, Adams claimed to be connected to him some way from birth.

It was then that Don grew increasingly concerned when the man shared online that he knew where Diamont and his family lived.

Then came June 2nd, when Adams showed up at their front gate and Don received a call from his wife, Cindy. The police handled Adams from there, but Don was very worried that Adams might harm him, or his family, so he was granted the temporary restraining order against him.

We wish Don and his family nothing but safety in the days ahead.

So what do you think about the claims and actions of Adams on Diamont? Comment below.
