After the breakout success of "The Young and the Restless," (https://www.nickiswift.com/865021/the-untold-truth-of-the-young-and-the-restless/) CBS was itching for husband and wife show creators William J. Bell and Lee Philip Bell to develop another soap in the same vein, per SoapHub (https://soaphub.com/the-history-of-the-bold-and-the-beautiful/). Thus "The Bold and the Beautiful" was born. Set in the glamorous world of the Los Angeles fashion industry and centering around the Forrester and Logan families, the nonstop drama of the soap continues to hook fans, securing "B&B" as a daytime staple for over three decades. What started as the quintessential '80s daytime serial has evolved into a modern story-telling machine.
In March 2022, the series celebrated 35 years on the air. The show remains in the hands of the Bell family, with the son of the original creators, Bradley P. Bell, the head writer today. "Thirty-five years ago, I would have never imagined what was in store ... Since our premiere in 1987, it's been a fantastic journey and incredible experience for all of us. We would not be here if not for the invaluable support of CBS and our millions of fans around the globe for their loyalty and support," Bradley told TV Line (https://tvline.com/2022/03/02/bold-and-the-beautiful-renewed-season-36-37-brooke-logan-special-episode-cbs/).
As of this writing, two original cast members remain since the show premiered in 1987. John McCook and Katherine Kelly Lang have been portraying the characters, Eric Forrester and Brooke Logan, since 1987. Let's take a closer look at how they and the other original cast members have transformed over the years and what they're up to today.
