March is living up to its name, bringing madness not only to the basketball court but also to daytime television. Fans tuning in to catch up on the latest Forrester family drama will be met with a different kind of action: the 2025 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament.
No New Episode of ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ on March 20
If you were hoping to see how the fallout at Forrester Creations continues, you’ll have to wait. CBS has cleared its programming slate for March 20 and 21 to accommodate the First Round of the NCAA tournament. This means no new episodes of ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ for two days.
The network’s entire schedule, from morning until late at night, will be dominated by college basketball coverage. With 64 teams battling it out in 32 games over just two days, CBS, along with TNT, TBS, and truTV, will be fully dedicated to the tournament. While sports fans are in for a treat, soap opera devotees will have to exercise patience.
What This Means for Fans?
It’s not uncommon for CBS daytime programming to take a backseat during March Madness. However, the timing of this disruption couldn’t be more intense, given the major shakeups happening on ‘The Bold and the Beautiful.’
Here’s what’s at stake:
- Sheila Carter has just discovered she has a granddaughter, a revelation that could change everything.
- Forrester Creations is now firmly back in the hands of the Forrester family.
- Steffy Forrester has fired Hope Logan, a decision that’s bound to send shockwaves through the company and the personal lives of those involved.
With so many pivotal moments unfolding, fans will have to wait until Monday, March 24, to see the next developments.
A Familiar Disruption
If this all feels like déjà vu, that’s because it is. Every year, the NCAA Tournament disrupts regularly scheduled programming on CBS. Even ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ cast has embraced the madness in the past. Annika Noelle (Hope) and Scott Clifton (Liam) once filmed a lighthearted promo celebrating the tournament, showing that even the most dramatic soap stars can appreciate a little basketball fever.
What’s Next When the Show Returns?
March Madness may have caused a temporary pause, but when ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ resumes, the drama will be at an all-time high.
- Hope will face the consequences of her decisions, both professionally and personally.
- Carter will have to choose between his job and his friendships at Forrester Creations.
- Brooke Logan is not happy—and when Brooke isn’t happy, things get even more complicated.
With tensions running high and relationships on the line, Monday’s episode is shaping up to be an explosive return.
