This Friday, January 23, 2015, The Bold and the Beautiful is celebrating a milestone. It will air its 7000th episode. The show has been on the air since 1987 bringing the high fashion industry of Los Angeles to the airwaves along with all the trials and tribulations of some of the hottest characters on daytime TV. The show centers around the Forrester family, headed by patriarch, Eric Forrester (John McCook).

And who would have thought the show would still be going strong 28 years later and dominating in the ratings? "Certainly not I," said Lee Phillip Bell, co-creator of the show with her husband the late great William J. Bell. "I never thought the show would go as long as it has, and I am thrilled that people enjoy watching it."

Soapdom is taking this opportunity to congratulate The Bold and the Beautiful on reaching it's 7000th episode!  And from the looks of it, it is going to be one fun eppy!  Be sure to set your VCRs for Friday, January 23, 2015. 

In celebration of the show celebrating 7000 airings, CBS Television City, where The Bold and the Beautiful tapes, is dedicating Stage 31 to Bradley P. Bell, Executive Producer/Head writer and the entire cast and crew.
