When BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL aired its 30th anniversary episode on March 23, it surprised fans with a new opening — which actually was an updated version of its original opening credits from the series debut. BB’s last opening credits sequence, which premiered in 2012, used green screen technology to digitally create a Forrester fashion show, and included the actor/character names, which are not currently present in the new opening.  Of the decision, Executive Producer/Head Writer Brad Bell tells Digest, “Well, when you hit 30 years, you think about the history of your show, and this is really a treat for all those people who have stayed with us since the beginning who remember the original opening. It’s fun for us to relive those years. Those were great years.” Like past openings, the sequence features all of B&B’s contract players. “We’ve got all the cast members in it,” Bell notes, along with great shots of its two original remaining cast members. “John [McCook, Eric] and [Katherine] Kelly [Lang, Brooke] are two incredible actors with such presence and they’re such good people. For me, to be here 30 years later with John and Kelly is such a gift, and during all the 30th anniversary hoopla, it’s been so gratifying to see just how much they’re both loved and appreciated by our cast, our crew and especially by our fans.”
