FAO: All US Soap Fan... also could you check your PMs
As many of you will know I am working to get The Bold and the Beautiful back along with other fans I have contacted the show and their fan club in the States This is the reply from them: Quote:
Thanks so much for your e-mails. I am the Fan Club Director for The Bold and the Beautiful. So now I need the help and support of all US soap fans, especially all those who want B&B back asapI think it's wonderful that you have a petition started to bring back B&B to the UK and that you have been working so hard to get the show back on the air. Something else you may want to do is to start a grassroots petition campaign to bombard all UK stations with emails requesting they bring B&B back. Thank you for your support. Keep up the wonderful work. We appreciate your support. Sincerely, Cathy Tomas Fan Club Director ITV3 is a new channel and I have emailed them recently and they are looking into the issue. Remember, ITV showed Sunset Beach on ITV2 in 2000 -- 2001 Hopefully they will pick up B&B If you can then email them at itv3@itv.com and request they show B&B The more people they get asking for the show, the more likely they will start showing it and hopefully soon, since were really behind with the storylines in the States. If and when you do email to ask for B&B to come back, can you also mention you want its returns publicised / advertised and you want a suitable timeslot for the show On a similar note, I have PM [private message] a lot of soap forum members who have posted in thread on US soaps. Hope you don't mind. So if you could check your PMs and emails and if you want to you can sign the B&B Petition to help get the show back.I may be asking a lot here, but could US soap fans keep this post on the 1st Page of the Soap Forum, by adding posts to this one. Thanks in advance to everyone Umar

I have signed the petition and emailed ITV3. ITV3 show quite a lot of US shows, i recently saw an ad saying that ITV3 daytime is the best place for american imports, or something like that!
There is no way i would want a channel to start airing episodes from episode 3652 though! I know we would have missed a lot but i don't want to be over 3 years behind!! |

The reason I said epiosde 3652 is because thats when a lot of good storylines start As this quote prove: Quote:
The man behind daytime's best soap on the air… Bell has shaken things up in a big way over the last several months, taking long-time characters and sending them into, dare we say, "bold" new directions. Ridge is Massimo's son and out at Forrester! Brooke is pregnant with her son-in-law Deacon's baby! Stephanie breaks up with Eric!... the half-hour show is enjoying both critical and ratings acclaim… B&B viewers aren't missing a day. (and when was the last time anyone could say that about a soap?)
Plus I personally want them to show 2 or 3 episodes per day to catch up to the US, rather then skip ahead like C5 did in 2000 Your view? |

Well considering the amount of soaps i watch i could only do with 1 episode a week, and id still rather they started showing episodes from around 3-6 months ago rather than from 3 years ago.
Although if any channel bought B&B, i would love the first airing not to be an episode but a 30minute catch-up show from the past 3 years of what we have missed, eg Ridge finding out he is Massimo's son, Sheila's return, Portofino, Taylor's death, Ridge's "death" in that furnace, and much more. It would just Really annoy me if we were years behind because id be reading what would be happening in the US and knowing that it will be years before we see it here! 3 months to half a year behind would be perfect

maybe they could do this:
ITV2 shows about 3 to 6 months behind the US ITV3 pickups from episode 3652 that would satisfy everyone; does that sound better?

Yeah that sounds good, but it will never happen! lol.
I really do think ITV3 would be a good place for B&B. I actually think Y&R would fit ITV3 perfectly as well, maybe even more so, but i would rather have B&B back! |

Lesley-Anne Down actually looks a bit older than she did in SB. Yes i know she has gotten older
but she actually looks more older than she did a few years ago, although thats not necessarily a bad thing!

A catch up special would be great!
But it will have to put in 3 years worth of brilliant storylines in to 30 minutes, and not like the C5 catch up special. UK Catch Up covering October 1997 to February 1999 (Part 1 & 2) Which point from the last 3 - 6 months would be a good place to pick up the show from? If B&B does come back hopefully there will be 5 episodes a week since its a daily soap.

Does anyone know or remember the last episode Channel5 showed of B&B before they jumped ahead to February 1999, when Amber married Rick.
![]() It was from around october 1997. Did they show the location shoot to Lake Como in Italy? what was the storyline that took place then and who was involved? Is this when Sally fell into the Lake when she tried to push Stephanie into the Lake, but she moved out of the way?

lol i don't know, i never really watched B&B before the catch-up show, but i know Sally tried to get Stephanie back in Portofino but ended up going in the water herself again
![]() I don't really know where they could start, around the start of the Ridge v Thorne feud just before Thorne joins Spectra? |

That may be a good point to pick up; I will check out the storylines for the last year and let you know my choice.
The main reason I wanted it from 3652 was to see the awards winning storylines Over the last few years, B&B has won many awards at the daytime emmies, especially 3 consecutive wins for Jennifer Finnigan, who is one the best actress the show ever had! Who’s your favourite character from the show, past or present |

How about episode 4333 from 1st July 2004.
I think this is when the whole fashion feud between Ridge and Thorne starts

My all time favourite B&B character, and possibly my all time favourite soap character is Sally Spectra

Thanks to all US fans who have signed the petition so far
There are still many who have not checked their PM and signed the petition Any idea how to get them to become aware of the petition? Plus, following Safras suggestion, I will get in contact with Cathy at B&B and ask if we can fast forward to July 2004 and have B&B make a 30 mins catch up special that cover October 2001 to July 2004. Will also ask for a character profiles / histories, to get new fans and a small preview of upcoming episodes Does that sound good? |
