Bold And The Beautiful Characters Who Went From Exciting To Boring

The Bold And The Beautiful (B&B) is the most-watched soap in the world for a reason, but what would be considered some of its most classic moments? With 33 years worth of episodes to choose from, including sacrifices, shootings, kidnappings and tragic endings, below are 12 of the B&B’s most iconic moments.

12. Taylor Reveals She’s Alive

In an iconic moment, Ridge dug up Taylor’s coffin and found a mannequin inside. Then he saw Prince Omar standing above her grave. When he spied a woman walking toward him, the bright backlight was hiding her face. At first, Ridge thought he might be seeing a ghost, until he saw Taylor’s face. She told him it was her and she was alive.

2. Phoebe Is Beth

Liam and Hope thought their baby girl had been stillborn. What they didn’t know was she had been kidnapped by Hope’s doctor Reese and sold to Steffy. Months went by where it seemed everyone in LA knew that Steffy’s adopted daughter Phoebe was Beth, but no one told Lope or Steffy. But thanks to Douglas, the truth finally came out. “Phoebe is Beth,” he told Liam. And fans finally saw a classic scene in which Liam sprinted into Steffy’s nursery and took his daughter out of her crib. “Da Da,” Beth said. “Yeah, I’m your Da Da,” Liam replied, as tears streamed down his cheeks.
