Not Bill. He created both Y&R and B &B. His idiot son Bradley Bell wrecked B & B bc he ignored his parent's legacy and the art of character development and story arcs. He can't write worth a damn and had trashed B&B especially. It's a bloody crime how he's wrecked B &B bc he's obsessed with brooke hogan and made the show a trash heap. Unwatchable. No class or elegance. Bring back the 80s-90s!!!!!!!
I just love soap operas! My mom use to clean the house, and make us all go outside and play in the summer and say "You kids go out and play, im trying to watch my stories!" 😅 Great memories ❤
Great memory! Did you know soaps were created specifically for women who were home cleaning? THat's why they repeat so much, incase you were running the vacuum, and have dramatic music so you know when to look up fromt the ironing board?
They need to take Dr Phil off he's too into people's business that why jenny was killed when she had a talk show she was stalked by a fan into the parking lot then shot too death
It didn't say they would take B & B off the air for the new soap. Just change the time B & B is on. Y & R would be first the the new soap and B & B a half hour later. But at this point it is just speculation. The detail about when the new soap will be on or who will be cast has not been released yet.
Why, on the bold and the beautiful have, they turned Zendaya into a POS! He is being the absolute, biggest jerk and I think it’s ruining the show so they need to get back to the older people because the young ones are being turned into idiots
Zende is fine to me. No issues. He is not happy with how things went down. I can see why he is not so great maybe right now. He is a Forester and is loyal to them and is working on Hope's Line only to help the Foresters. But he is just not the best at moment. RJ not seeing him or mentioned I hope it is due to the actor playing him that are looking elsewhere. But nothing wrong with Zende accept the situation he is in.
Regarding Y&R's popularity with the African American community: I think it's been established that Victor Newman/ Eric Braeden is the reason for that. Also because of the late Neil and Drucilla.
I personally feel that Black popularity of Y&R has declined, because of THE TOKENISM AND THE STORYLINES OF ITS THREE BLACK CHARACTERS failing TO CONNECT AND RESONATE with everyday lives of THE BLACK (FBA) VIEWERS. THOSE CHARACTERS ARE COMPLETELY OUT OF TOUCH!!!
I hope it does not replace Y&R or BB. Happy to hear about " The Gates"!!! Hopefully it won't be a stupid, uneducated, poor or disrespectful take on African American families. Thank you so much Belinda for your opinion on how this demographic of people has been projected on these shows. I'm excited about this new soap!! Please keep us posted. It's about time!
What does it have to replace something? There is enough room to shuffle things around to make room. Nothing HAS to be canceled to add this new soap! Which I am so excited to see btw!
I so agree with you 100%. There's plenty of room! Of course, this is CBS...I watch my Young & The Restless there and my husband and I watch The Bold & The Beautiful everyday on CBS but Brad Bell and his writers has got to do better. It's good for now but he does too many thinking back and needs to let couples be happy sometimes! 🎉 I want Liam & Hope to get back together & have a baby boy a least. Give Thomas a new woman and please leave Finn & Steffy alone! I like them being happy! 😊 Don't please please don't let Liam and Steffy get back together!!! Bring on some new older ones to act. Enough of the Luna, Zenda and RJ. We need Bill doing more. Is he okay?? I like Don Diamont. Sorry so long but I have opinion as well. I also looking forward to the new The Gates!! For goodness sake....get rid of the View on ABC!!! It's a trashy show!!! I also have to add, Sheila is NOT dead.😅 I like Kimberly Brown!!!😊😅😊
@@SoapDirt Yes Belinda, I listened entirely. I even gave it a thumbs up, because I mostly agree with you. I was responding to your title asking if B&B was going to be replaced.

Back when we had lots of soaps, there was a dedicated soap channel. Then you never had to miss an episode if it was pre-empted. I know we can stream now, but not necessarily soon enough. If more soaps are added instead of replacing others, maybe we'd get the soap channel back.

"B&B" has A TOKEN BLACK CHARACTER who's goals and Aspirations is to.... **GET IN AND FIT IN, NOT ONLY PROFESSIONALLY, BUT ESPECIALLY PERSONALLY, IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.**
I’m excited for the potential for a new soap. I’m blind since birth, and also a big days of our lives fan. I just don’t like the visual scenes where there’s just music and you don’t know what’s going on on the screen that’s why I appreciate your updates, so I have an idea of what’s going on. Keep them coming
Y&R will always be my favorite but am interested in seeing something new. B&B is like a little candy that I have sometimes. I hope they feel free to bump the Talk to a later time.
I found an answer to WHY recently B & B was only renewed for 1 year when Y & R was renewed until 2025!. They said B & B was actually renewed for 3 years a while ago so they are just getting through with the 1st year of that 3- year contract.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE AND FIND OUT THAT WHAT THIS NEW BLACK SOAP OPERA WILL BE LIKE SINCE THE FRIST SOAP OPERA THAT PUT THE MAIN FOCUS ON MAIN BACK CHARACTERS
Or give this Phyllis a decent storyline ? She's not a teenager and she needs to quit talking and acting like one ! Give her a REAL job ! And what happened to Jack ? He acts like an idiot now ! Bring Smiling Jack back . Or have him turn into a decent man like his DAD !
Gina should have never been "Phyllis". She should have been ... Phyllis's Hot Baby Sister !!! Gina T deserves to be back, but to cast her as Phyllis gave her no room to grow (or survive) As this is a Soap ... They should be able to fins a "lost cousin" ... Or sister from another mother (Like the Nate thing) to bring her back
Shocked that a new soap opera would be created and aired on mainstream tv, in a time when daytime soaps are becoming extinct and are moving to streaming platforms
@@marshagreen9759 I understand that..I was just saying I’m surprised they are creating a new soap to air on regular tv since most of them have been cancelled and they have sent Days to peacock to stream…now a days it seems all they have on daytime are talk shows or news type shows
B&B & Y&R aren't going anywhere. The Gates is replacing the TALK. So the GATES will be at 2pm❤😮 This is a good sign, that Soap Operas can last forever. The right streaming service just has to found.. I never thought id see another Soap opera created in the era. But its here, its a good sign.. Bring back SoapNet for starters😮
Yes, bring back As the World Turns & Guiding Light they were good soaps. I miss them so much. The only one i watch now is Days. I agree with you about The Talk & Dr. Phil need to go same old same old stuff never changes.
Two of my favorite soaps you listed above. The Guiding Light and As the World Turns (sponsored by P&G) back in the day. They are teaming up with CBS and NAACP to do this new soap.
The Talk needs to go. Honestly as a decades long soap fan- the first thing I felt was anger. I loved ATWT (before the writing helped tank the show - mid 2000’s on). CBS got rid of it without actually putting effort to improve its ratings- NOW they want to launch a new soap? Not sure I’d care to invest time on a new soap. Bring back ATWT
I remember Generations! That’s where I first noticed Kristoff St. John. The lineup used to be (east coast time): 12:30pm to 1:00 pm - Generations, 1:00pm - 2:00pm - Days of Our Lives, 2:00pm - 3:00pm - Another World and 3:00pm - 4:00 pm was Santa Barbara. Phew, Lordy!
Why????? I think the two shows use the “black” characters really well & they always had good story lines….. but then B&B could use some improvements. Just my opinion no disrespect intended. ✌️
Perhaps because the "black" characters mainly support story lines. It's been a while since CBS has featured a prominent black family with a patriarch and matriarch; not just "cuzzins"? Y&R has demonstrated it's easier to talk about a Neil character than to cast a new one. I agree, B&B needs improvement and I wouldn't be too upset if it were cut. Just sayin'.
I hope they replace the talk since they have to give Jerry So much air time. He's not funny & they tolerate him. They can stop B&B & bring it back as the Logan's. That way there won't be so many hateful remarks & they don't have to give so many hateful comments on people of color, they can go to the gate & then we'll see the drones of hateful comments right away from the same people Just to do so. I look forward to this New Soap, hopefully they have writers that aren't Lazy & research what life struggle is really like without getting fired or replaced that is & More importantly Not make them clowns that shuck & jive for laughs, I hope it's a serious soap that people of color can relate to without making everything a joke. I know it's a LOT to ask or hope for. Here's a BIG one add some unsuger coated Black & Brown history starting with who Truly invented many things that others have credit for, yup I know that a lot of drama that could come from the Truth.😊
@@Sunmoonstars748 Not only black people but focused on a black family just like the Abbotts, the Forresters, and the Cassadines. The black family will have non-black friends, just like Y&R, B&B, and GH.
Michelle left the show twice: the longest - and most successful - recast for Phyllis was Gina but the FIRST recast was Sandra Nelson. This was waaaay back when Phyllis was first with Danny, when MS left to do prime time (Pacific Palisades).
They can cut one of their boring talk shows. Pick one, it doesn’t matter which. Any one of them could be cut to half an hour. Heck they could even shave a half hour off their Morning show. Whatever they decide they better not get rid of B&B! This should make Bold think about getting some new writers, they are what’s been bring the ratings down.
I just want crossovers. Imagine Olvia from Y&R hiding out behind "The Gates" nursing her sister back to health. Or bring on legacy P&G characters like Ben and Jessica from ATWT.
@@SoapDirt Beylnda YES he was always a favorite of mine. Name’s slip my mind ever since I had an Aneurysm in 2009. I used to be able to remember all the names now I have to see them to remember
And if Stephanie ruins her relationship with her husband, then it’s her fault that Finn goes to hope because she just walked in the office and started accusing Hope and Finn.
Remember Malcolm X's Coffee Analogy.... DARK, HOT AND STRONG? ADD THE CREAM TO IT AND WHAT HAPPENS? IT LOSES IT FLAVOR!!! THAT'S WHAT DIVERSITY HAS DONE TO US, FBAers!!!!
I feel like it might replace the talk at 2pm eastern time zone i hope so 🙏 daytime is back again 12:30pm ,the young and the restless 1:30pm the bold and the beautiful and last the gates the new soap opera at 2pm i hope it'll be like that 👍👍👍👍😎😎😎👍😎😎
So disappointed that B&B episode today focused on RJ and Luna after a week of great drama with seasoned B&B characters. Please no more RJ and Luna. They are poor actors and their love story is icky and mostly boring.
I can see what is causing, the bold & the beautifuls low rating because if it continues they way it has. Since Quinne, Sheila, Deacon, Zoe, Pamela, Sally & her family left. It has been boring, it's been too exclusively about Lunar, Poppy, R,J, Stephanie & Zende. They don't come up with good story lines for everyone on the cast anymore.The only recent good story was about Eric & his recovery. That's what concerns me about the fate of this show.😢
Hi Belinda: I am excited about the ",Gate". I wish it much success. I think that BB will go. Right now they have only two African Americans on the canvas Zenda and Carter. As another commentor stated the story line with Zenda is horrible. I find it down right egregious. And don't get me started on General Hospital and the treatment of the character of Trina Robinson. I am hoping changes will come for the character with the incoming Head Writer Patrick. Soooo yes to me YR does have the most diverse cast of African Americans. The problem I have with YR is there no solid black couples As a closing remark I would like to say in my opinion you are always fair in your spoilers and predictions. When you make errors you correct them. So I will be looking forward to your updates and comments s on the Gate.
I WOULD NOT TAKE B AND B OFF THE AIR N TO PUT A NEW SOAP OPERA ON N HAVE IT ALL BLACK THIS IS NOT INVOLVING DIVERSITY I LIKE SEEING ALL TYPES OF DIFFERENT RACES. TO HAVE ALL 1 RACE THE PEOPLE WHO CAN'T RELATE IN LANGUAGE, TRADITIONS ETC IS TARGETING 1 GROUP CANT WE ALL BLEND??? TAKE THE TALK OFF THAT SHOW STINKS SINCE SHARON LEFT.
@@sabrinahughes9699 I agree with you, upset about how Trina Robinson is being treated. I hope Spencer comes back soon. I just do not want them to put The Gates on when GH is on. The writer who just left B&B, also wrote on GH, the soap Generations, As The World Turns, Another World, and Guiding Light, she will be bringing experience with her.
@@marshagreen9759 Hi Marsha: Your are correct she does come with experience. Regarding Trina, I am starting to think we will not see her until the New Writers start writing Episodes.
In our time zone Central we have Y&R from 11 am to Noon. Then Noon to 12:30. WE have our local news. Then at 12:30 is Bold. The Talk was cancelled so we have from 1 to 2 old episodes of The Price is Right. Then we have Let's Make a Deal then at 3 we have Dateline Daytime or such. Then from 4 our time on to 6:30 is news Local and CBS. I hope do not cancel Bold but how would move it with our CBS station or not unsure. I think said soap would be half an hour and do like that time but as well how would they do the order or such. Unless had the New Soap after Y&R then news at 12:30 in Bold's slot then 1 to 2 time slot still would be left open. WE have the Actual episode of The Price is Right on at 10 am before Y&R. So have to see how it will be done. I know The Talk started in the 1 to 2 time slot. At least when the fall programming Schedule came for our station. Dateline Daytime replaced Daily Blast we had from 3 pm to 4. I think was cancelled. So after their goodbye we had new lineup for Fall. THen when the Talk had their goodbye we have had The Price is Right reruns from maybe last season or season before. But not same episode for the day initially. But myself with storyline and more right now and not sure if February sweeps start at end of this week ahead or what. So could they take the soap out as really Forester Creations is not much anymore at that. Could have it go under or something and Ridge go off with Taylor happy. Brooke who knows. Logans could go down. I hope not I think just thinking Crazy.
CBS said it has been over 35 years since that soap opera. The head writer who left B&B will be the writer of this new soap opera show and she also was the writer of Generations.
They got rid of the stars that made it interesting. Think, Taylor , Stephanie, Thorne, Macy, Sally sr., Darla, Nick, etc. The characters that made it interesting are all gone. We are stuck with Logans, Ridge, and the cure for insomnia crew.
@@artlovinglatina9733 IT’S ALL ABOUT THE WRITING! True enough we all have our likes and dislikes as far as the actors are concerned BUT!!! B&B has had THE LOWEST RATINGS FOR A VERY LONG TIME !!! and it’s because of the Repetitive, boring storylines! The WRITERS. are LAZY! The actors have the SAME Repetitive dialogue from day to day! It’s RIDICULOUS! 🙄
Belinda you are on point about GH! My favorite by far!!! B&B has real issues in its portraits of people of color! Most, tend to disappear down some black hole!
@@KurtisWhiteI don't think CBS will continue to play the long game. It's times up.! It's the reason Bold Live explains it to death. 2025 is just that it's a heads up. Bell nds to get it together rapidly. It sinking like the titanic. Sinn is thrown under the bus vis a vis Quarterback. It's making no sense. It's character assasination at it's worst Finn. Bell wants to try Steam for the umpteenth time. It's been done to death. Fope is a deal breaker for most viewers. Li is the only Mom that counts, Sheila is a bio mom. Finn all of a sudden can't shake it off. It's terribly written storylines. It makes no sense. Why would Hope want another man only Loves Steffy? It's Bell grasping anything saying he's going to do a creative masterpiece. It's always the same. I'm hoping the new soap takes great lessons on not losing viewers.
@@gailhayes2831 Bell is incapable of fixing the show because he never had any real creative talent to begin with he's had so many opportunities to fall I to his lap and has fumbled everyone of those opportunities.
@@michellecarr2150 Please, you're only throwing the new soap under the bus because the cast is "Black"? Show hasn't even aired on TV yet, but already catching heat.
Now that Sheila is FINALLY GONE, maybe B&B will get out of its rut And tell decent stories! Finn can go also, if he keeps whining about his psycho birth mom 🤑
There was another Phylliss too in the 90s when Michelle Staford first left but I can't remember her name. I believe Phylliss number two went on to Sunset Beach for awhile.
The Gates will bring me back to CBS. I left CBS after Guiding light was cancelled in 2009. I am currently a Spencer Trina fan ,but Trina has been unfairly put on the back burner at the moment. Keeping an eye out for Patrick Mulcahey as one of the new head writers of GH Bold and the beautiful has always been pretty bad. I watched it since the first episode back in the 80's. CBS could make room. It would be great as a resurgence for network soaps as ABC and NBC only have one surviving soap from their former lineups. This soap is long overdue even after the demise of generations back in the day. Belinda I will be looking forward to your future updates on the Gates in the future when the show is ready to air. Let's Go.
I stayed with CBS but my heart was with Guiding Light and As the World Turns and also Another World. I am in love with SPRINA but upset about how Trina is being treated. This Gate soap opera is created just for people of color who are being overlooked and not given major roles. I do hope this new show will put pressure on the other soaps that have not treated black actors as well as white actors. I feel a change is happening and many complaints have been with SPRINA and how they have been treated. Things are getting ready to change.
@@marshagreen9759 I am with you 💯. I find myself watching the show for maybe a few minutes truthfully then turn my attention to something else once I'm home with my kids after work. I have also called into the network as well .. Disappointed to see Tabyanas' scene a few weeks ago was filler. As she was a prop for moral support for Joss before the search for Dex. The Gates is long overdue and I like you am Here for it!!👍 Although I do remember Generations back in the day too , but something seem like the Gates will be a whole new ballgame as the focus will be our culture. Loving it already really. I agree with you that the show will be an eye-opener for the other networks as well . I have to admit though I'm excited for CBS as well for this move.
It's Tali I like B&B it has been the most popular Soap in the world that is the only Soap I watch I hope they will keep it going and Bell should try to have great SL and bring the numbers up
If B&B is lost it is all Bell’s fault. He absolutely would not listen to the fans.
What did Bill Bell do?
Not Bill. He created both Y&R and B &B.
His idiot son Bradley Bell wrecked B & B bc he ignored his parent's legacy and the art of character development and story arcs.
He can't write worth a damn and had trashed B&B especially. It's a bloody crime how he's wrecked B &B bc he's obsessed with brooke hogan and made the show a trash heap. Unwatchable. No class or elegance. Bring back the 80s-90s!!!!!!!
Totally agree with you.
@@marshagreen9759 Bill Bell is disrespectful to the original writers and fans of Bold and the Beautiful.
@@marshagreen9759 He also fired the actress who played a fantastic role as "Taylor Hayes." last year for no reason.
I hope it replaces The Talk!
I would just miss the pretty ladies on there (minus Sheryl Underwood). 😂😂
Meeeee toooo🙋♀️🙋♀️
AMEN !!!
More so The view should be replaced!!
Me too The show stinks
I loved back in the day when Olivia, Dru, Neil, Nathan, and Malcolm were prominent and honestly some of the best stories on Y&R
@amandaredd3057, back in the day was the day. They acted their butts off and I loved Y&R. I now watch GH because of SPRINA, love that couple.
100 % agree!!!

I totally agree💯 please leave B&B alone 😢😢
Never watched the talk do not understand how the phony not a doctor Phil has lasted this long.
Dr. Phil is retiring his show after this season
They need to take Dr Phil off he's too into people's business that why jenny was killed when she had a talk show she was stalked by a fan into the parking lot then shot too death
And as for the talk show it needs to be off the air it's stupid
Add soaps, don’t take away!. Adding a soap is good news! I was afraid soaps in general were being fazed out

Regarding Y&R's popularity with the African American community: I think it's been established that Victor Newman/ Eric Braeden is the reason for that. Also because of the late Neil and Drucilla.

@@nekoalbury8606Definitely Kay LOL!!
@@nekoalbury8606Maybe the OG Jill ( Brenda Dickson) too.

Looking forward to The Gates
4 more years of YR l couldn't be more exciting about this news 🥳🥳🥳 thanks blinda for this update ❤️

Hopefully, it does not have stupid storylines like Y&R and B&B do.

I found an answer to WHY recently B & B was only renewed for 1 year when Y & R was renewed until 2025!. They said B & B was actually renewed for 3 years a while ago so they are just getting through with the 1st year of that 3- year contract.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE AND FIND OUT THAT WHAT THIS NEW BLACK SOAP OPERA WILL BE LIKE SINCE THE FRIST SOAP OPERA THAT PUT THE MAIN FOCUS ON MAIN BACK CHARACTERS
THANK ❤️ YOU SO VERY 🌄 ❤️ MUCH FOR WHOEVER ❤️ 🌄 LIKED MY COMMENT

Make bold and the beautiful a hour long . That would be nice
Yes absolutely! B&B would only get better
@@susangormley8819
Not if Bell has anything to do with it
Bold and The Beautiful from 1:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. Gates from 2:30 p.m. to 3 p.m. and The Young and the Restless from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m.
@@daleunderdue6935😂
They can't even write something for thirty minutes. They need new writers.
Please replace the Talk. And bring back Gina as Phyllis
I agree 💯 I don't like the tallk
Or give this Phyllis a decent storyline ? She's not a teenager and she needs to quit talking and acting like one ! Give her a REAL job ! And what happened to Jack ? He acts like an idiot now ! Bring Smiling Jack back . Or have him turn into a decent man like his DAD !
Gina should have never been "Phyllis". She should have been ... Phyllis's Hot Baby Sister !!! Gina T deserves to be back, but to cast her as Phyllis gave her no room to grow (or survive)
As this is a Soap ... They should be able to fins a "lost cousin" ... Or sister from another mother (Like the Nate thing) to bring her back
Please don't take The bold and the Beautiful they can have another soap opera i just want them to keep The bold and the Beautiful
Don't Take Away Bold And Beautiful Please Please Please
That's right Belinda I like Y&R but General Hospital is the best soap on daytime tv. Just love it
I agree that GH right now is the best soap on daytime tv.
Yes..General Hospital is the best.Stopped watching B&B and Young& the Restless a year ago.Both boring!!!
I hope The Gates is on Hulu next day! I'm excited!!!!!
It's about time, can't wait for Beyond the Gates, this is what the soap world needs
Please leave B&B alone and replace the Talk!
Here in Opelika ,Alabama 11:00 news 11:30-12:30 y&r 12:30 b&b 1:00-2:00 the talk 2:00-3:00 judge mathis
Y&R❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
If they do away with Bold. I’m done with television period.
Generations was HOTTTTTT!!!!! Love it from the Bahamas in the late 1980's to early 1990's.
Shocked that a new soap opera would be created and aired on mainstream tv, in a time when daytime soaps are becoming extinct and are moving to streaming platforms
Ikr? I think instead of creating a new soap, just bring back an old soap!
@@nlung12345that's actually a great idea..! I doubt it would ever happen but I really like the idea.
Not everyone stream and tv's is watched more by the older generation.
@@marshagreen9759 I understand that..I was just saying I’m surprised they are creating a new soap to air on regular tv since most of them have been cancelled and they have sent Days to peacock to stream…now a days it seems all they have on daytime are talk shows or news type shows
I'm excited for a new soap!!..Only a few months away....Any new updates??? I hope they do crossovers with Y&R or B&B🙏
The B&B is big all over the world: why cancel it...
LOOK @ THE CURRENT STORYLINES, IT SPEAKS FOR ITSELF! NOT THAT I DON'T LIKE B & B ITS TOO REDUNDANT, LIKE ALL OF THEM MORE OR LESS. 😂🤔
B&B & Y&R aren't going anywhere.
The Gates is replacing the TALK.
So the GATES will be at 2pm❤😮
This is a good sign, that Soap Operas can last forever.
The right streaming service just has to found..
I never thought id see another Soap opera created in the era.
But its here, its a good sign..
Bring back SoapNet for starters😮
If thy get rid of bold no more soap for me
I so agree with you 💯
Let's get rid of the talk and Dr Phil bring back The Guiding Light and As the World Turns. Not watching the new crap
How can you label something as crap that you have personally never seen?…
Yes, bring back As the World Turns & Guiding Light they were good soaps. I miss them so much. The only one i watch now is Days. I agree with you about The Talk & Dr. Phil need to go same old same old stuff never changes.
@@susielindstrom2919I watched a lot of the soaps that are gone now. Latest was Passions
@susielindstrom2919 I heard Dr Phil is retiring
Two of my favorite soaps you listed above. The Guiding Light and As the World Turns (sponsored by P&G) back in the day. They are teaming up with CBS and NAACP to do this new soap.
The Talk needs to go.
Honestly as a decades long soap fan- the first thing I felt was anger. I loved ATWT (before the writing helped tank the show - mid 2000’s on). CBS got rid of it without actually putting effort to improve its ratings- NOW they want to launch a new soap?
Not sure I’d care to invest time on a new soap. Bring back ATWT
I don’t want Bold to stop
I remember Generations! That’s where I first noticed Kristoff St. John. The lineup used to be (east coast time): 12:30pm to 1:00 pm - Generations, 1:00pm - 2:00pm - Days of Our Lives, 2:00pm - 3:00pm - Another World and 3:00pm - 4:00 pm was Santa Barbara. Phew, Lordy!
It'll be interesting to see what a brand new soap opera made right now would be like.
It's replacing the Talk, and it will be called Behind The Gates
Why????? I think the two shows use the “black” characters really well & they always had good story lines….. but then B&B could use some improvements. Just my opinion no disrespect intended. ✌️
Get rid of zeda.lunamom.and.liem.give.shelia.a.pernament.sp0t
Perhaps because the "black" characters mainly support story lines. It's been a while since CBS has featured a prominent black family with a patriarch and matriarch; not just "cuzzins"? Y&R has demonstrated it's easier to talk about a Neil character than to cast a new one. I agree, B&B needs improvement and I wouldn't be too upset if it were cut. Just sayin'.
I hope they replace the talk since they have to give Jerry So much air time. He's not funny & they tolerate him.
They can stop B&B & bring it back as the Logan's.
That way there won't be so many hateful remarks & they don't have to give so many hateful comments on people of color, they can go to the gate & then we'll see the drones of hateful comments right away from the same people Just to do so.
I look forward to this New Soap, hopefully they have writers that aren't Lazy & research what life struggle is really like without getting fired or replaced that is & More importantly Not make them clowns that shuck & jive for laughs, I hope it's a serious soap that people of color can relate to without making everything a joke.
I know it's a LOT to ask or hope for.
Here's a BIG one add some unsuger coated Black & Brown history starting with who Truly invented many things that others have credit for, yup I know that a lot of drama that could come from the Truth.😊
Well you are being disrespectful.
@@theresap.3305 I respect your opinion……. That’s mine .
Who will be in the Cast.
I give all the info I have in the video.
Only black people
@@Sunmoonstars748 Not only black people but focused on a black family just like the Abbotts, the Forresters, and the Cassadines. The black family will have non-black friends, just like Y&R, B&B, and GH.
Michelle left the show twice: the longest - and most successful - recast for Phyllis was Gina but the FIRST recast was Sandra Nelson. This was waaaay back when Phyllis was first with Danny, when MS left to do prime time (Pacific Palisades).
They can cut one of their boring talk shows. Pick one, it doesn’t matter which. Any one of them could be cut to half an hour. Heck they could even shave a half hour off their Morning show. Whatever they decide they better not get rid of B&B! This should make Bold think about getting some new writers, they are what’s been bring the ratings down.
I just want crossovers. Imagine Olvia from Y&R hiding out behind "The Gates" nursing her sister back to health. Or bring on legacy P&G characters like Ben and Jessica from ATWT.
I Loved Generation’s!! That is when I started watching (Neil Winters) sorry his real name is blanking in my brain 🧠 right now!!
Kristoff St John - yes he was amazing
@@SoapDirt Also amazing on Y&R.
@@SoapDirt Beylnda YES he was always a favorite of mine. Name’s slip my mind ever since I had an Aneurysm in 2009. I used to be able to remember all the names now I have to see them to remember
God Bless you!
@@caroljones9968 Thank you Very much @caroljones9968 🩷
And if Stephanie ruins her relationship with her husband, then it’s her fault that Finn goes to hope because she just walked in the office and started accusing Hope and Finn.
As a black women why do we need a separate soap opera? Why not just be more diverse in casting on soaps that already exist.
Remember Malcolm X's Coffee Analogy.... DARK, HOT AND STRONG?
ADD THE CREAM TO IT AND WHAT HAPPENS?
IT LOSES IT FLAVOR!!!
THAT'S WHAT DIVERSITY HAS DONE TO US, FBAers!!!!
I totally totally agree!!!! Great comment.
I totally agree with your comment
YAY! Can't wait!!! I so do hope it lasts longer than Passions! I loved that soap and was so sad to see it gone.
My daughter loved Passions so much.
I watched Passions too! Only reason I watched Days of Our Lives is because 2 characters migrated over there!
I feel like it might replace the talk at 2pm eastern time zone i hope so 🙏 daytime is back again 12:30pm ,the young and the restless 1:30pm the bold and the beautiful and last the gates the new soap opera at 2pm i hope it'll be like that 👍👍👍👍😎😎😎👍😎😎
Last I checked B&B rating were just fine. Maybe a new soap will be streaming only🤷♀
Don’t replace bold and the beautiful
It’s just generations from the 90s all over again…..
I love both shows I wish they made the women stronger to show young girls not to take crap from men ! get rid of the talk
I’m excited for anything NEW. Love them all!!
I'm hoping they don't cancel BB. I'm excited to see a new soap with diversity.
Looking forward to seeing the new soap too🤗🤗🤗 but not if it's going to replace B&B🤦♀️🤦♀️
Me too
Me too. Soaps have become almost stereotypical
😢if true not happy about taking B&B off!!
Me neither. 😢
This is very interesting. Thanks, B. You always keep us up to speed. ❤
Yessss come thru cbs wit the black soap opera, I'll be checking it out.😊
I'll be checking it out also.
Young and the restless I love watching ❤
I hope it also has other ethnicities.
Maybe the actress who plays Elena on y snd r will be on the new show
Fire Bell and get some quality writers and the show will rate as well as it used to
Excited for the new show
So disappointed that B&B episode today focused on RJ and Luna after a week of great drama with seasoned B&B characters. Please no more RJ and Luna. They are poor actors and their love story is icky and mostly boring.
I know when I saw her today with Poppy, I had a bit of PTSD and thought "noooooooo" 🙄
I can see what is causing, the bold & the beautifuls low rating because if it continues they way it has. Since Quinne, Sheila, Deacon, Zoe, Pamela, Sally & her family left. It has been boring, it's been too exclusively about Lunar, Poppy, R,J, Stephanie & Zende. They don't come up with good story lines for everyone on the cast anymore.The only recent good story was about Eric & his recovery. That's what concerns me about the fate of this show.😢
Hi Belinda:
I am excited about the ",Gate". I wish it much success.
I think that BB will go. Right now they have only two African Americans on the canvas Zenda and Carter.
As another commentor stated the story line with Zenda is horrible. I find it down right egregious.
And don't get me started on General Hospital and the treatment of the character of Trina Robinson. I am hoping changes will come for the character with the incoming Head Writer Patrick.
Soooo yes to me YR does have the most diverse cast of African Americans. The problem I have with YR is there no solid black couples
As a closing remark I would like to say in my opinion you are always fair in your spoilers and predictions. When you make errors you correct them.
So I will be looking forward to your updates and comments s on the Gate.
I WOULD NOT TAKE B AND B OFF THE AIR N TO PUT A NEW SOAP OPERA ON N HAVE IT ALL BLACK THIS IS NOT INVOLVING DIVERSITY I LIKE SEEING ALL TYPES OF DIFFERENT RACES. TO HAVE ALL 1 RACE THE PEOPLE WHO CAN'T RELATE IN LANGUAGE, TRADITIONS ETC IS TARGETING 1 GROUP CANT WE ALL BLEND??? TAKE THE TALK OFF THAT SHOW STINKS SINCE SHARON LEFT.
@@sabrinahughes9699 the gates will flop and bold and beautiful will stay the new soap won't be worth watching
@@sabrinahughes9699 I agree with you, upset about how Trina Robinson is being treated. I hope Spencer comes back soon. I just do not want them to put The Gates on when GH is on. The writer who just left B&B, also wrote on GH, the soap Generations, As The World Turns, Another World, and Guiding Light, she will be bringing experience with her.
@@marshagreen9759
Hi Marsha:
Your are correct she does come with experience.
Regarding Trina, I am starting to think we will not see her until the New Writers start writing Episodes.
I’m so excited !!!!!! I can’t wait for the new soap ❤❤❤❤❤❤🙌🏼👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Keep bold and beautiful , dump the talk.
I love BB I’d rather it replace the Talk. I hope BB doesn’t go away but I am excited for the new show.
In our time zone Central we have Y&R from 11 am to Noon. Then Noon to 12:30. WE have our local news. Then at 12:30 is Bold. The Talk was cancelled so we have from 1 to 2 old episodes of The Price is Right. Then we have Let's Make a Deal then at 3 we have Dateline Daytime or such. Then from 4 our time on to 6:30 is news Local and CBS. I hope do not cancel Bold but how would move it with our CBS station or not unsure. I think said soap would be half an hour and do like that time but as well how would they do the order or such. Unless had the New Soap after Y&R then news at 12:30 in Bold's slot then 1 to 2 time slot still would be left open. WE have the Actual episode of The Price is Right on at 10 am before Y&R. So have to see how it will be done. I know The Talk started in the 1 to 2 time slot. At least when the fall programming Schedule came for our station. Dateline Daytime replaced Daily Blast we had from 3 pm to 4. I think was cancelled. So after their goodbye we had new lineup for Fall. THen when the Talk had their goodbye we have had The Price is Right reruns from maybe last season or season before. But not same episode for the day initially. But myself with storyline and more right now and not sure if February sweeps start at end of this week ahead or what. So could they take the soap out as really Forester Creations is not much anymore at that. Could have it go under or something and Ridge go off with Taylor happy. Brooke who knows. Logans could go down. I hope not I think just thinking Crazy.
There was an NBC soap opera called Generations the debuted in 1989, so CBS isn't doing anything new.
I definitely remember that soap
I talked about Generations in this video... Specifically.
@@SoapDirt I know
CBS said it has been over 35 years since that soap opera. The head writer who left B&B will be the writer of this new soap opera show and she also was the writer of Generations.
@marshagreen9759 Kay Alden?
Plz don't cancel bold plz plz
They got rid of the stars that made it interesting. Think, Taylor , Stephanie, Thorne, Macy, Sally sr., Darla, Nick, etc. The characters that made it interesting are all gone. We are stuck with Logans, Ridge, and the cure for insomnia crew.
@@artlovinglatina9733 IT’S ALL ABOUT THE WRITING! True enough we all have our likes and dislikes as far as the actors are concerned BUT!!! B&B has had THE LOWEST RATINGS FOR A VERY LONG TIME !!! and it’s because of the Repetitive, boring storylines! The WRITERS. are LAZY! The actors have the SAME Repetitive dialogue from day to day! It’s RIDICULOUS! 🙄
The writing is too polarizing ! Some people love the stories, some people loathe. There’s no balance! But yeah, I want Bold too
Yes im ready for a new soap and dont you think its about time for a all black soap its 2024 amen ❤🎉😅😊😮
I haven't watched "The Bold and the Beautiful" for 10 years.
Belinda you are on point about GH! My favorite by far!!!
B&B has real issues in its portraits of people of color! Most, tend to disappear down some black hole!
Why can't rhey invest that money to make young and the restless what it once was
I heard about the gates I hope it brings it.
Me too and let's be real CBS is saying without saying it they know B&B sucks.
@@KurtisWhiteI don't think CBS will continue to play the long game. It's times up.! It's the reason Bold Live explains it to death. 2025 is just that it's a heads up. Bell nds to get it together rapidly. It sinking like the titanic. Sinn is thrown under the bus vis a vis Quarterback. It's making no sense. It's character assasination at it's worst Finn. Bell wants to try Steam for the umpteenth time. It's been done to death. Fope is a deal breaker for most viewers. Li is the only Mom that counts, Sheila is a bio mom. Finn all of a sudden can't shake it off. It's terribly written storylines. It makes no sense. Why would Hope want another man only Loves Steffy? It's Bell grasping anything saying he's going to do a creative masterpiece. It's always the same. I'm hoping the new soap takes great lessons on not losing viewers.
@@gailhayes2831 Bell is incapable of fixing the show because he never had any real creative talent to begin with he's had so many opportunities to fall I to his lap and has fumbled everyone of those opportunities.
@@gailhayes2831the New soap probably won't be worth watching
@@michellecarr2150
Please, you're only throwing the new soap under the bus because the cast is "Black"? Show hasn't even aired on TV yet, but already catching heat.
Now that Sheila is FINALLY GONE, maybe B&B will get out of its rut And tell decent stories! Finn can go also, if he keeps whining about his psycho birth mom 🤑
There was another Phylliss too in the 90s when Michelle Staford first left but I can't remember her name. I believe Phylliss number two went on to Sunset Beach for awhile.
The Gates will bring me back to CBS. I left CBS after Guiding light was cancelled in 2009.
I am currently a Spencer Trina fan ,but Trina has been unfairly put on the back burner at the moment. Keeping an eye out for Patrick Mulcahey as one of the new head writers of GH
Bold and the beautiful has always been pretty bad. I watched it since the first episode back in the 80's.
CBS could make room. It would be great as a resurgence for network soaps as ABC and NBC only have one surviving soap from their former lineups.
This soap is long overdue even after the demise of generations back in the day.
Belinda I will be looking forward to your future updates on the Gates in the future when the show is ready to air.
Let's Go.
I stayed with CBS but my heart was with Guiding Light and As the World Turns and also Another World. I am in love with SPRINA but upset about how Trina is being treated. This Gate soap opera is created just for people of color who are being overlooked and not given major roles. I do hope this new show will put pressure on the other soaps that have not treated black actors as well as white actors. I feel a change is happening and many complaints have been with SPRINA and how they have been treated. Things are getting ready to change.
@@marshagreen9759 I am with you 💯.
I find myself watching the show for maybe a few minutes truthfully then turn my attention to something else once I'm home with my kids after work. I have also called into the network as well ..
Disappointed to see Tabyanas' scene a few weeks ago was filler.
As she was a prop for moral support for Joss before the search for Dex.
The Gates is long overdue and I like you am Here for it!!👍
Although I do remember Generations back in the day too , but something seem like the Gates will be a whole new ballgame as the focus will be our culture.
Loving it already really. I agree with you that the show will be an eye-opener for the other networks as well .
I have to admit though I'm excited for CBS as well for this move.
They need to cancel the talk and bring back guiding light
Won't be happy if it replaces any current soap. Take the Talk off, it serves no purpose
Happy about the new Soap. Don't care if B&B is cancelled but some of the actors are great and I would hate for them to lose their jobs.
Probably won't be worth watching if anything goes it should be the talk not bold and beautiful
It's Tali I like B&B it has been the most popular Soap in the world that is the only Soap I watch I hope they will keep it going and Bell should try to have great SL and bring the numbers up
