THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL WINS EMMY FOR OUTSTANDING DRAMA-August 30th 2009

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL received the Emmy® Award for Outstanding Drama Series at the 36th Annual Daytime Entertainment Emmy® Awards on August 30th 2009 at the historic Orpheum Theater. This marks the first win for THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL in the series 22-year-run on the CBS Television Network.
Created in 1987 by legendary television producing and writing couple, the late William J. Bell and Lee Phillip Bell, at the invitation of CBS, THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL is now helmed by their son, Emmy®-Award winning Executive Producer, Bradley P. Bell, who also serves as the Shows Head Writer. Im thrilled to have won our first Best Show Emmy in 22 years, said Bell. It was wonderful to have my mother, co-creator of B&B, next to me, and I know that my father was there with us in spirit. We could not have accomplished this win without the hard work of the cast, crew and staff of THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL and the support of the entire daytime community.
It was Bells inherited writing talent, along with his esteemed writing team, that scripted the Emmy® Award winning episodes involving the troubled and emotionally-wrought Stephen Storm Logan, Jr. (played by William deVry) and his ultimate sacrifice to save his youngest sister, Katies (played by Heather Tom), life by taking his own, and donating his heart to her.
In addition to Bell, the other B&B producers who received an Emmy® for Outstanding Drama Series are; Rhonda Friedman, Supervising Producer; Ron Weaver, Senior Producer, Cynthia J. Popp, Producer, and Adam Dusevoir, Coordinating Producer.
All five producers took the stage at The Orpheum Theater, along with the four original cast members Susan Flannery (Stephanie Forrester), John McCook (Eric Forrester), Katherine Kelly Lang (Brooke Logan) and Ronn Moss (Ridge Forrester) together with the entire cast, crew and staff of the Show.

[@kornmaze]

B&B rules!

[@darotta2]

GO B&B

[@sheilafanforever]

What an awesome montage! B&B really made themselves look bold and beautiful. Kinda evil of them to mix scenes from 2007 to 2009 into it but to great results. Embarassing for an ward show though to cut off the lead winner...

[@DcD240]

More bald and beautiful like it. What a LAME soap so cheesy only close ups bad acting bad story telling

[@Christopher19887]

Notice how Robin gives Brad Bell a sign that he has has won.

[@celticdw1983]

B&B was alredy bad back then. I don't think it would have won if there had been more soaps in the running.

[@celticdw1983]

Storm sacrificing his own life to give his heart to Katie was a very powerful episode/storyline. I really didn't see any other soap winning over this

[@isaiahhill2104]

B&B really had a jumping the shark moment when it had that identity crisis during 2008-2009.
