Several things have been happening on The Bold and the Beautiful that have kept fans talking. From Bill having Luna transferred from prison to his house to Carter’s takeover of Forrester Creations, things have certainly been hectic. Executive producer Brad Bell recently revealed what got him into soaps and hinted at some turns the show’s stories might take.
A Lifelong Passion
Bell explained to TV Insider that as a kid, he and his parents, William and Lee Lee Phillip Bell, would eat dinner while watching videotapes of Days of Our Lives because Dad was the head writer for it. They would later watch tapes of The Young and the Restless after the Bells created that show. Young Bell noted, “From an early age, it clicked with me. I love television, and I love soaps.”
His love is evident in the care he puts into B&B, revealing what fans can expect from some of the latest B&B storylines. Eric (John McCook) and Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) will continue to fight to reclaim Forrester Creations. Bell stated that the schism between Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) and Hope (Annika Noelle), as well as the Forresters, has put Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) “In a very difficult position.” Also, Taylor (Rebecca Budig) “is going to see some new challenges.” Bell remarked that Budig is “On board, and she is a dream.” (Find out about the crazy twist behind Carter’s FC takeover.)

Will Villains Unite?
Bell also talked about a character who hasn’t been seen very much lately: “We have a great story for Liam [Spencer, Scott Clifton] coming up as well, which I am very excited about.” Liam’s needed a good story for a while, and it seems that since Ivy (Ashleigh Brewer) has been in town for a while, these two need to reconnect.
Also, Bell exclaimed that the story of Finn (Tanner Novlan) finding out that he’s Luna’s (Lisa Yamada) real bio-daddy will expand. “I’m excited that not only will Luna find her father at long last,” he said, adding, “but she’s going to find her grandmother too, Sheila Carter [Kimberlin Brown].” Sheila’s been on her best behavior lately, so it will be interesting to see her reaction when she learns about her connection to Luna. Hopefully, we’ll find an answer to the question of whether their murderous ways are nature or nurture.

Bell then praised the show’s actors, gushing, “I look at the current cast photo, and am grateful that we have such incredible talent on the show right now. I just think that they’re wonderful and wonderful people as well.”
