The Bold and the Beautiful Scores Biggest Audience in Over Two Years
Hats off to CBS’ The Bold and the Beautiful! The daytime drama series delivered its largest viewing audience in over two years.
The last time B&B had these numbers it was back for the week ending April 24th, 2020. Coincidentally, that was the last week of first-run episodes before all of the Covid-19 production shutdowns.
While CBS tweeted the news of B&B’s rating success, it should also be noted that this is the third time in six weeks that the soap has hit a season high.
For the week of May 9-13, in story, Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) remembered that it was Sheila (Kimberlin Brown) who shot her husband, Finn ( … and her!
According to Soap Opera Network, B&B was up over +515,000 total viewers for the ratings week and came in with a total viewer tally of 3.320 million. In addition the CBS daytime drama has been up +212,000 viewers week to week.
Share your congrats to The Bold and the Beautiful below and let us know if you were riveted to Steffy finally remembered what Sheila had done the night she was shot.

They do some things fantastic the music etc he learned from his dad but he can have more then one story going at a time and please quit wasting DD ! KA a great recast now make her strong let Ridge have Brooke ! Write her the smart woman she use to be give her a new love interest
It has been a wonderful show lately!! Thank you for giving credit where credit was due……the Steffy vs Sheila story drove the ratings through the roof. Let’s hope they can keep it up! Congratulations Bold and Beautiful!!

Let’s not forget the Taylor vs Brooke story. Can’t stand the new Taylor prancing around like a 20 yr.old, makes me sick and Ridge holding them both off like he’s some big trophy going to the winner, should be lower, and don’t get me started on old grandpa, he and Donna are ridiculous.
People hate on this show but as of late it has been bringing it. It packs a good punch into its 30 minutes. The only other I find better right now is days. Yandr has improved slightly but that wedding and it’s supposed 70s theme was a miss and I understand the music budget issues but we couldn’t license a couple of great disco hits from the era instead we got elevator disco. Good for bold and the beautiful
I’m never a fan of poor, entitled Steffy. In this case she knew Sheila was unhinged so the worse thing Steffy could do was pursue her, make demands and deny access to Finn and Hayes yet again causing Sheila to snap. She reminds me of how Carly.would act. Finn got caught in the line of fire. Blame Steffy. The rest of the cast did what you would expect them to do. But IMO it was Kimberlin playing her role that increased B&B numbers.

Exactly right. Steffy has never controlled her mouth and from the get go she was in Shiela’s face, even in the alley. It was her own big mouth that caused Sheila to try shooting her, getting Finn instead. Even after that she couldn’t shut up even to the point of telling Sheila to call 911. Hopefully she’s learned something from this, but I doubt it.l
You know Sheila will be back and not before too long either. It was too easy for someone as wicked as Sheila to just be carted out in handcuffs. And don’t forget…I’m still waiting for Lauren on Y&R to find out the woman she shot dead years ago wasn’t Sheila. That is one loose end that has to be tied up before we say goodbye to Sheila.
Good scenes. I wonder what is in store for Sheila. Also, wait until Deacon finds out.
This will blow Deacon’s mind!
I see her kidnapping Hayes unless he has decided to wrap it up ! Where is Finns parents? They keep teasing us about another twist who knows but if we end up going back to the triangle of Hope Steffy and Liam then it will come back off DVR . The actors involved are even tire of that.

Finn’s adoptive mother is supposed to be keeping him alive somewhere, and Sheila will probably be admitted to a mental facility where she’ll escape and kidnap the baby.These are rumors, but sound very believable. I can’t see them putting her in maximum security without a trial.
Aside from that, I noticed Hope looked like she had a major makeover and her hair all highlighted. I like the fact that Brooke wasn’t all looking like a beautiful socialite but looking like someone whose been under so much stress.
Hi Violet I like KKL very much but we need to get past the triangle I’m way past These so called adults jumping back and forth it’s tough for me because I like Thorsten but he has never been Ridge to me. As for Brooke and Taylor still fighting over this guy it bugs me! Hope you are right b
That number will drop as it always does when they write out the magnificent Sheila.
Congrats! Brad may actually get B&B to overtake Y&R in the ratings game. The writing and performances by Kimberlin and Jacqueline make them front runners for next year’s Emmy awards. Kimberlin’s storyline has propelled this show as a must see each day. Now can’t wait for the Finn revelation that is sure to explode the canvas! CBS could be a real daytime powerhouse but they will have to address The Talk with its 1.6M viewers.
B&B was never my favorite but, I will.admit…when “they” pull out all the stops….the show is a runaway train you can’t look away from. Writing choices aside, the dramatic music, closeup shots, campy dialogue make for good soapy DRAMA.
WASN’T EXPECTING THAT!!!
hello Bold and beautiful Cast
i love you’r Acting and i love watching Different Episodes on the Show thanks and i was wondering is there a audience watchting this thanks and one thing i like Tanner Novlan he is my Real Brother thanks

It looks like the current run of Lucas Adams (Noah) and Tamara Braun (Sienna) on The Young and the Restless is coming to an end, after the Monday, August 3 edition of the CBS daytime drama revealed that Noah and Sienna are leaving Genoa City and heading back to Los Angeles.
In the storyline, Noah informed his mother, Sharon (Sharon Case) and half-sister Mariah (Camryn Grimes) that he and Sienna made the decision to move back to the West Coast to put distance between themselves and Matt Clark (Roger Howarth). Although Noah did not say it was a permanent move, he did assure his mom that once Matt is hopefully gone from Genoa City they could return.
However, as previewed already on the video teaser for this week’s episodes of Y&R (see below), it appears Noah left Genoa City’s The Shadow Room to be run by a returning Danny Romalotti (Michael Damian). So with that, coupled with today’s episode, it would appear the move could wind up being more permanent.

COMINGS AND GOINGS
Adams made his Y&R debut on November 4, 2025 as the successor to Rory Gibson who last played Noah on-screen in April of 2023. Earlier in 2025, Gibson took over the role of Michael Corinthos on Genera Hospital replacing Chad Duell, who stepped away from the part after 15 years.
Braun who played Adam’s mother on Days of Our Lives when she was Ava Vitali and he was Tripp Dalton, first appeared on Y&R back on October 14, 2025, where we soon learned she had become Noah’s lover as the new character, Sienna Bacall. It should be noted, Adams was on contract with the number #1 soap, while Braun has been on recurring status.
With Josh Griffith now exited as head writer of The Young and the Restless, and the newly announced co-head writing team of Jamey Giddens and Dan O’Connor having taken his place and starting their new tenure this week, it will be interesting to see how the duo resets the show, and if a Noah and Sienna return is in the cards for the future or not.
So, what do you think about the seeming departures of Lucas Adams and Tamara Braun from The Young and the Restless? Weigh-in via the comment section. But first, check out our recent live chat with Tamara and Lucas on the Michael Fairman Channel.
Rosie O’Donnell revealed that she plans to head back to a seat at the table of ABC’s morning talk show The View.
The announcement came during Monday’s episode of The Tangle Podcast where she shared she will participate in “in whatever way they want” her or “just as a guest” for its upcoming 30th season.
The View’s season 30 will kick-off this fall in September. O’Donnell explained, “They’re bringing back all the hosts, I think. And, you know, I’m pretty proud of that show, what it’s become and how it really speaks to the people and to politics.”

ROSIE ON HER PREVIOUS GO-ROUNDS ON THE VIEW
As fans of The View know, O’Donnell famously had two different one-year stints on the talk show in 2007 and again in 2014- 2015. She often feuded with then co-host Elizabeth Hasselbeck.
However, during her discussion with host, Kyle Ridley on The Tangle Podcast, O’Donnell also noted she often had tense moments with longtime moderator and anchor, Whoopi Goldberg.
O’Donnell also expressed, “Many, many people got the short end of the stick there. It was, you know, it was a factory where people were being churned in and out and their tenuous security, nobody got to be calm. It also was a show at the time that was run by a man. A show created by a woman, for women, about women, and the man was deciding what we should talk about. And that didn’t sit right with me, you know.”
Back in 2023, Brooke Shields had asked Rosie on her podcast, Now What? with Brooke Shields, about how she felt on her two stints at The View and all the controversy that surrounded it. Rosie at that time, stated, “I know this, it’s not the best use of my talent to get in a show where I have to argue and defend basic principles of humanity and kindness. It was not something I’d ever do again.”
You can check out the clip with Rosie and Kyle Ridley discussing her return to The View in some form for its upcoming 30th season below.
Then weigh-in: Would you be excited to see Rosie, even for a one-day or a week guest stint on the upcoming celebratory season of The View, or not so much? Let us know via the comment section.
