Sounds great, but I’ll be on vacation. 🙁 So I may miss it. I’ll have to try to catch it on cbs.com when I return, but now they’re charging for videos after a few days.

I was about to say the same thing when I saw your post. As much as I love event episodes during milestones on soaps, a simple doc with clips and interviews can be as entertaining and often a better treat for fans– I hope NBC is watching and considers it for Days.

Me too. I love DOOL and would be so happy to take a trip down memory lane in celebration of the big 5-0! Hopefully they have some special things planned.

Seems a lot to pack into a half hour. Should do an expanded version for the cabler POP where B&B rebroadcasts.

I used to love B&B. Cannot say the recycled stories, endless triangles/quadrangles, and near-incestuous connections so prevalent now are as exciting. Seems characters never grow or change, only repeat the same behaviors.

I like the show, but don’t like how they devote the whole show to one storyline. And same storyline day after day. And all the shots of L.A. are too much. I want to see the actors and story. I like a couple sightsee shots, but they have put way too many in lately. It’s not a travel program!

Congratulations to The Bold and The Beautiful on reaching this milestone! The documentary sounds nice, especially for persons like me who have never watched the show. It is an opportunity to learn what this show is all about. I do know that Joe Mascolo and Lauren Koslow have both been a part of this show. It would be interesting to see them in clips or to learn what their characters were all about. Both actors are now main characters on Days – which is what I watch. They may not have time in the documentary for what I want to… Read more »

By the way, I am very familiar with Susan Flannery because she once played Laura Horton on Days. I also know she was a big part of B&B for years, but is no longer there. Happy for Susan’s success on the show. Didn’t she win an Emmy while there? Anyway I wonder if working with the late Francis Reed had any impact on her work at B&B. I am sure Susan will be in the documentary – front and center.

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.
