Fans of The Bold and the Beautiful will be delighted know The CW has made classic episodes of the soap opera available to stream on cwtv.com and the CW App. The soap opera is a part of their platform’s offering of FAST channels, otherwise known as free ad-supported streaming television.
B&B has been pulling viewers into the messy lives of the Forresters and Logans for 38 years. As the second youngest soap opera on CBS, there are fans who’ve watched the daytime drama since the beginning. But there are plenty of devoted watchers who’ve never seen an episode of the soap’s early arcs. That’s where the FAST channel comes in.
There isn’t an on-demand option. But if you don’t mind being dropped into the middle of Bold‘s storylines from the ’80s, it’s an opportunity to see how certain plots shaped the characters we know and love (or loathe) today. As of the writing of this article, the 24/7 channel is working its way through the love triangle between Caroline Spencer and brothers Ridge and Thorne Forrester.
The platform runs season 1 but fans can also enjoy season 25 (2012) for a total of 500 episodes.
