New Daytime Soap Opera at CBS In Development
- Thread starter genius
- Start date
B&B is not going to expand to one hour, Brad Bell has already been approached about doing that and has declined. Y&R has done so well at 12:30 ET I’d be shocked if CBS changed its timeslot. I think big question is will The Gates air at 1:30 PM ET with Y&R as its lead in? That makes most sense to me. That leaves the 2 PM timeslot for B&B, The Talk and/or something else.
They wouldn’t.
Deadline is speculating on the ominous future of The Talk amid a wave of layoffs including the EP and the show has not been renewed yet:

Not sure if if say confirmed as in the interview it was stated not sure yet
“It’s been being developed as an hour, but I can’t say for sure. I don’t know yet.”
No and No
My mom watched the show (and B&B when it debuted) right through to when she died. In the later days, they’d be on while we visited as it was a familiar-to-her presence as other things faded in her memory. I think the 80s was the last time I saw the shows enough to quickly grasp the plots. And they’re the same stories with the same people on the same sets. So unless they suddenly revamped everything in two years, they’re still pretending it’s 1983.
Some of the same people, smaller or downsized sets and as the characters have and use laptops and smartphones, definitely not 1983.
Props? Thats what you think qualifies as evolution?
Or whether Nikki and Victor are together or broken up.
Here's the explanation for B&B's one year renewal.

If both The Talk and B&B are cancelled, CBS might sell the half hour back to their stations much like ABC did back in 2003 after cancelling the GH spinoff Port CharlesHere's the explanation for B&B's one year renewal.

Looking at the season to date ratings (total viewers) for the soaps, I don't see why CBS would consider cancelling B&B.
Y&R 3.4m
B&B 2.9m
GH. 2.2m
I guess The Talk's fate hangs in the balance amid struggle at parent Paramount
Excerpt from link posted above: “So it’s not really my place to comment on it other than to say that we’re on a three-year deal and so the third year was picked up.”
Which means Y&R’s 4 year deal doesn’t necessarily guarantee it will be on for 4 more years, as there could be options every year to pick up another year.

I wish they would do that, cancel the Talk but keep B&B and make The Gates 30 minutes.
Noon local
1pm Young and the Restless
2pm B&B
2:30 The Gates
CBS would keep the Noon ET/11am feed for CT stations and they could air Y&R at noon local if they wanted. LMAD and TPIR would be unchanged.
That would allow for KIRO, KOTV and WDJT to actually clear B&B in pattern because they bump B&B to either after The Talk or to late night (KOTV) to air hourlong news at noon.
