The Bold and the Beautiful
The Bold and the Beautiful (often referred to as B&B) is an American television soap opera created by William J. Bell and Lee Phillip Bell for CBS. It premiered on March 23, 1987, as a sister show to the Bells' other soap opera "The Young and the Restless"; several characters from each of the two shows have crossed over to the other since the early 1990s. Set in Los Angeles, California, the show centers upon the Forrester family and their fashion house business Forrester Creations.
Gloria Abbott Bardwell
In October 2014, it was announced that Chapman would appear as Gloria on the soap opera's sister series, "The Bold and the Beautiful", with her scenes airing the following month. In September 2015, Chapman stated on her Facebook page that she had "no idea" whether or not she would ever be asked back to "The Young and the Restless", writing that she personally believed she would never return. In November 2016, however, upon the installation of Sally Sussman as co-executive producer and head writer, Chapman was announced to be returning to "The Young and the Restless" the following month for an unspecified amount of time. Upon her return, the actress stated: "This is all such a nice surprise. I had truly made peace with the idea that I would never be called back to the show."
