Is this remark about Italy really relevant? I guess it could be said for every country. For example, in French, the name is Top Models Lvr 09:25, 9 Sep 2004 (UTC)

By the way, i am French and I can confirm you that the French title is not "Top Models" but "Amour, Gloire et Beauté" (Love, glory and beauty) !

I think it is. The show is wildly popular there, but it would be in Francophone countries, too. I can add that. Mike H 12:51, Sep 9, 2004 (UTC)

In Quebec, it's called Top Modeles, in France, it's called Amour, Gloire et Beaute.

[edit] Speculation on actors

Actors who have participated in taping but not aired aren't current cast members. They will be when they get aired. What if someone important in the plot dies? How can one be sure the previously taped episodes won't be revised or re-recorded? The same priniciple applies for actors that are leaving. Perhaps something could happen that would postpone the leaving of the character for another month. S/he would still exist, but not be shown. Encyclopedias contain facts, not speculation. --jag123 08:31, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Actor names in the first paragraph

I removed the actor names because there were a literal shitload of them, and made it harder to read. Mike H. That's hot 21:20, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Actor names

I have re-inserted the names of only the actors who are not mentioned in the cast list.

[edit] Show Description

The fact of continuous incestuous sole story lines and the lack of minorities (with the exception of a homeless african-american woman and an african-american club manager and his disabled brother in the earlier years) is more than notable, insulting and deplorable!!! --[User: jewelwms]~~

That's a bit POV. I don't think we need to go out of our way to note the lack of minorities. That's not exactly an isolated thing for soaps. Besides, you might remember that Kristen Forrester's adopted son is black. Mike H. I did "That's hot" first! 19:26, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

The story is just a bunch of reaccuring plots. I think it is boring.

[edit] Bad Plot

Due to several really bad, repetitive, improbable and plain illogical plots, like the perpetual Brooke-Taylor-Ridge triangle, the constant fluctuation of Brook's protagonist/antagonist nature and the constant unnessessary abductions (the ones by Prince Omar, Morgan, Sheila, etc.), I have concluded that The Bold and The Beautiful is too monotonous to watch. Are all soaps so badly written? --[User: Vader1941]~~

No. Try watching Y&R. Kogsquinge 02:36, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

What does this have to do with the article? Go to an discussion forum if you want to give your opinion about the show. This section is for the article itself. --84.230.180.67 16:47, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] CJ and Karen returning?

Has it been confirmed that Joanna Johnson and Mick Cain are returning? I find it hard to beleive.Kogsquinge 00:07, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] FOX TV Serbia

Ladies and gentlemen, i would like to announce that The Bold And The Beautiful is showing on my cable TV providers version of FOX. RocketMaster 17:46, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

No surprise it's FOX for such a show 85.217.44.242 21:14, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dates

I'm finding that some editors are using ordinal suffixes when writing dates, such as February 2nd, 2007. This is not how dates are normally written. Please write as February 2, 2007. Dbart 22:12, 2 February 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Merge from Los Angeles, California (The Bold and the Beautiful)

I suggest Los Angeles, California (The Bold and the Beautiful) be merged into this article. --Flex (talk|contribs) 13:34, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pamela Douglas

It has been confirmed that Alley Mills is on on contract, so why is her name under the recurring list?

Alley Mills must be put on the contract list.
Done.

Thanx, but could it please be add that in 2006 she was a guest, intead of just 2007-. Her status should be 2006 (guest), 2007-

Why is Alley Mills still in recurring. She signed a contract at the end of last year??? Can someone change it?

I have removed Alley Mills from the cast list. I think it's safe to say she won't be returning given that she has been removed from the opening credits and is no longer in the cast list at www.boldandbeautiful.com. Kogsquinge 01:11, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Constantine Maroulis?

Where is Constantine as Constantine Parros? He should be in the contract players. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.12.244.9 (talk) 02:26, 16 May 2007 (UTC).


CBS Soaps in Depth confirms that Constantine is on contract.

[edit] B&B's CURRENT WRITING TEAM

Please add Janice Ferri Esser to the list of B&B's writing team. She has joined the show in the last month or two as a story consultant alongside Jerry Birn.

[edit] Background and history needs some cleanup

This "Background and history" section has been in bad shape for a long time.. I tried to help by translating the parallel article on the Hebrew Wikipedia (which also needs cleanup). Anyone whom belives he could help us perfect this section to meet Wikipedia's quality standards is welcome to try. Acidburn24m 05:10, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Who's the mystrey man?

This image. Top row, second from right (Annual Cast picture of the bold and the beautiful. season 1 - 1987). original source. Help me :-) Gridge 19:54, 1 August 2007 (UTC).

That is Stephen Shortridge. He played Dave, the detective Brooke was originally in love with in the first episodes. Mike H. I did "That's hot" first! 21:11, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
Thanks! Gridge 19:33, 3 August 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Don't Insult the Audience - You may lose viewers

Storm is supposed to be a brilliant attorney. Brooke acts as if she is ready to beat Stephanie at her own game. So far --so good. Brooke then goes to Stephanie's house to ask for her father to be released, because Stephanie owes her for being an accessory to a brutal rape that Brooke suffered. Brooke then blabs out that her brother, Storm shot Stephanie. She said he just lost it!!! She never said, "he lost it because on top of everything else you did to my family--including what you had your adult criminal brats do to Donna at the fashion show, he also had just discovered that you seeked a violent rapist on me who brutally violated me". Now like a complete idiot, along with her idiot, brilliant attorney brother, she puts the ball back in Stephanie's court, for Stephanie to ruin Donna's happiness to spare Storm. I thought that the writers would have made a much more interesting story for Stephanie to finally get what is coming to her, including Brooke and Storm being smart enough to tell her that if Storm goes to jail, Brooke will press charges against Stephanie for her part in the rape and Stephanie would be Storm's cell mate. But the same boring control is given to the same Stephanie, and you are about to lose more viewers than me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.252.146.220 (talk) 05:11, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
