  THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL, CBS/CTV — B&B Issues Another Karen Spencer Recast Alert!

  • This Just In: B&B hasn’t found its perfect Karen Spencer yet. In fact, the sudser has re-issued a casting breakdown for the part:

  [KAREN SPENCER] Female.  Caucasian.  Mid to late 40s.  Sharp businesswoman, bi-sexual, intelligent, clever, beautiful.  STRONG CREDITS ONLY...Recurring, possible contract role

  • Move over, Ron Carlivati: The year’s most shocking twist was the fact that Bill broke up with our tortured Brooke to reunite with Katie so he could get his company and son back! No one saw that coming. Every critic complained when it seemingly appeared as if Bill had changed his mind about his romantic future after he almost died in a mountain climbing accident in Aspen. Nice work, B&B. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, and this may be the beginning of a wonderful relationship.

  • Here her roar: B&B is casting a possible new leading lady! Here’s the casting call:

  [LEADING LADY] FEMALE. BRITISH  22 – 25 years old.  BEAUTIFUL.  A sex kitten.  Ambitious.  Goes after what she wants.  Very upscale, not trashy.  LOOKING FOR AUTHENTIC BRITISH ACTRESSES ONLY!  Recurring, possible contract.

  This Just In: Another role is being cast… and she’s black! Just call B&B, THE BLACK AND THE BEAUTIFUL!

  [YOUNG LEADING LADY] FEMALE. AFRICAN AMERICAN. 19 - 24 years old. BEAUTIFUL. A MODEL.  Ambitious.  Goes after what she wants. Very upscale. Recurring, possible contract.

  • BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL will join sister soap Y&R on TV GUIDE Network, beginning December 2. In addition to daily airings, look for weekend roundups to catch up. “I am looking forward to a successful partnership with TVGN,” said Bradley Bell, Executive Producer/Head Writer in a statement. “Our fans have asked us for an opportunity to watch a second run. I’m delighted that we will now be able to fulfill that desire with such an esteemed cable network.” Check local listings for times.
