The Bold and the Beautiful

The Bold and the Beautiful is long running US soap opera, and the sister show to The Young and the Restless. It is unusual for an American soap as it only has a running time of 30 minutes. Over 5300 episodes have been produced to date.

The show is centered around the Forrester family and their family business Forrester creations, a fashion house in California.

Background on the Forresters (Quoted from Wikipedia)

Stephanie Douglas, a strong-willed woman, daughter to a rich family, met her husband-to-be Eric Forrester, a young talented guy that aspired to become a successful and famous fashion designer, while they both studied at the Northwestern University in Chicago, Illinois. The young lovers hurried to get married after Stephanie became pregnant and, in a certain stage they moved to live in Los Angeles, California, where they established Forrester Creations, a company focused on designing and producing dresses, mainly based on the designing talent of Eric and on Stephanie’s financial funding. While winning international recognition, fame and wealth with their work, the couple managed to raise up three children in a happy and caring environment, including their eldest son Thorne and his younger sisters Kristen and Felicia. Stephanie’s eldest son, Ridge, was biologically fathered by Massimo Marone, but raised by Eric. He, Eric, also has two grown children: Rick and Bridget, from his marriage to Brooke Logan.

Eric and Stephanie’s marriage has been on-and-off on the series since the premiere in 1987 and they have recently divorced for the third time.

You can catch the Bold and the Beautiful weekdays 2.30pm on DTV-8.
