Congratulations are in order!  Happy Birthday to The Bold and the Beautiful!

Sunday, March 23, 2014 marks the 27th anniversary of The Bold and the Beautiful's (B&B) premiere on the CBS Television Network. This anniversary brings B&B into the top ten list of the longest running scripted dramas broadcast on network television.

"Twenty-seven years on television is a wonderful accomplishment," said Executive Producer and Head Writer, Bradley Bell. "I work with an amazing ensemble of cast, production crew, writers and staff. I am grateful to CBS for their long standing commitment to 'The Bold and the BeautifuL' and to CBS Daytime executives Angelica McDaniel and Margot Wain for their unwavering support. None of this would be possible if it were not for our fans whose loyalty and dedication to the show have allowed us to reach this incredible milestone."

The only daytime drama set in a real, and not fictional location, B&B prides itself on setting the bar by frequently taking production out of the studio and on location. Spring 2014 marked the ninth international remote taken by B&B in the show's 27 year-history, going to the UAE, Dubai and Abu Dhabi with original cast member Katherine Kelly Lang ("Brooke Logan") as well as Don Diamont ("Bill Spencer") and Thorsten Kaye ("Ridge Forrester"). Those episodes are set to air in late May and early June 2014. Previous international locations include Monaco, Puglia, Italy, Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, Sydney, Australia, Portofino, Italy, Venice, Italy, Lake Como, Italy and Barbados. Additionally, B&B has taped in numerous U.S. locations around Southern California, on the U.S. Virgin Island of St. Thomas and multiple times in Aspen, Colorado.

In June 2013, B&B received its eighth Golden Nymph Award at the International TV Audience Awards in the "Telenovela/Soap Opera" category at the Monte Carlo Television Festival. In 2011, B&B received its third consecutive Emmy(r) award for "Outstanding Daytime Drama Series". In 2010, Guinness World Records(r) named The Bold and the Beautiful the Most Popular Daytime Soap Currently on TV.
