The Bold and the Beautiful Ratings Winner With Phoebe is Beth Reveal

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.

Just one question does this mean that JMW will finally get a new love interest? I can’t enjoy this triangle so I had to quit watching I mean these two women just google eyed for Liam for how many years put this behind Steffy burn up that silly photo.

In other words is it safe to go back into the water I miss so many of the other characters !!!

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 novel Thanks for listening

I dont watch..havent in years but it goes to show the CBS soaps know how to grab viewers while the other two networks do crazy unbelievable stories and dont grab the ratings like CBS

CONGRATS to B&B…I have been enjoying the story line a lot…

Congratulations!

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!

Days of our Lives Star, Greg Vaughan, Gives Health Update and Thanks Everyone for Their Support

Greg Vaughan (Eric, Days of our Lives, ex-Lucky, GH, and ex-Diego, Y&R) provided an update on his health on Sunday, March 17th. Vaughan had previously shared that he had become ill during a trip with his sons to Colorado, and had developed altitude sickness when he was having trouble breathing accompanied by terrible headaches and landed in the urgent care.

Now on St. Patrick’s Day, Greg took to his Instagram and shared how he is feeling now, and to thank everyone for their love and support.  As it turned out, Vaughan was diagnosed with high altitude pulmonary edema, commonly known as HAPE. However, he is on the mend slowly and surely.

In his new video post, the DAYS favorite started by expressing, “I just felt such an appreciation and gratitude for everything. . reaching out. Your prayers have been felt. It’s been a struggle, but I’m over the top. And, taking this moment just to say I didn’t realize the things that I was going through. My (original) post was simply just to educate, put some information out there and some things that I was feeling, just share that information and the struggle that I was going through, which I didn’t quite understand. And it wasn’t because I’m stubborn or just because I’m a father, a man, and didn’t want to go to a doctor. It is just something I thought was so minor that I could overcome it, just by taking care of myself.”

The Daytime Emmy winner then revealed his actual diagnosis, “So, basically my situation was high altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE). With some good friends, doctors that had reached out to me, it kind of gave me some understanding on the aftermath, which was very, very beneficial.”

“But I’ve been resting, taking care of myself even though I live in a hamster wheel,” said the dad of three teenaged boys. “I gotta get up and, you know, do my normal domesticated stuff, eventually. I’m tired of laying down in this bed, but, I am feeling much better.”

Talking on his confusion of trying to understand what could have been ailing him, Vaughan expressed, “I couldn’t quite figure it out, even though I was emphasizing and professing to my children going on our spring break getaway about hydration. I professed it. But, even though I was acting on it, it had a greater effect on me, and for which I did not even think, because my head was such in pain, and I was in a very bad state of mind – not being able to be out there with my kids on the mountain, enjoying their time, as well. I thought I was doing the right thing. Unfortunately, my lungs were full of fluids and my head was in severe pain and even migraine pills didn’t even help. So, I just want anybody that goes into the Colorado Mountains to know, it is no joke. It is this very serious thing which I guess is why they call it the Mile High City.”

Greg had a mountain of ‘thank you’s’ to give for the outreach he received from his original post, “For everybody internationally, wherever you are, I love you and I appreciate you and just the time and the thoughts that you’ve shared with me,” said Vaughan. “I didn’t realize that it would make such an impression on so many people around the world. I feel tremendously loved and I can’t say it enough. I’m good. And I appreciate you.”

The actor concluded his video with, “To all the family and friends that have reached out to me, man, it means the world. So take care of yourself, enjoy your spring break with your families. It’s Saint Patty’s Day, obviously. I wish I could be out there.” Vaughan added, “I feel loved and touched and I can’t emphasize that enough. I’ll take better care of myself, promise you will do the same.” Before he signed off, Greg shared, “Just know, that I’m alive and well and breathing, and I’m sore. So, be well, take care. I mean it. Thank you, tremendously.”

Glad to know that Greg has been on the mend, and shared his appreciation for everyone that reached out to him during this trying time? Comment below.
