The Bold and the Beautiful
In 1986, CBS was on the hunt to replace "Capitol", and contacted several writers and producers for proposals. Paul Rauch created Grosse Pointe as a replacement. During her absence from "Ryan's Hope", Michael Brockman, former President of CBS Daytime, asked Claire Labine to develop a new serial in 1986. Her proposal was entitled Celebration but never made it to the air. Had it been greenlit, Jane Greenstein would have been Assistant to the Head Writer like she was on "General Hospital". William J. Bell created "The Bold and the Beautiful", which was originally titled "Rags". On June 20, 2017, CBS announced its decision to renew the serial through the 2017–18 television season.
