Fans of “The Bold and the Beautiful” were taken aback when the May 8, 2025 episode, which was scheduled to air on CBS, got postponed unexpectedly. As a result, the regular schedule for the soap opera for that week was disrupted. Typically, you can catch episodes of “The Bold and the Beautiful” weekdays on CBS. It is one of the most frequently viewed daytime soaps on television.
So, here’s everything viewers need to know regarding why the episode of B&B on May 8 was preempted.
Why was The Bold and the Beautiful preempted by CBS on May 8?
On May 8th, the broadcast of The Bold and the Beautiful was postponed by CBS to air the breaking news about Cardinal Robert Prevost being elected as the new Pope instead.
On Thursday, Cardinal Prevost was officially named Pope and took on the title Leo XIV. As a result, CBS delayed the broadcast of the May 8th episode of B&B to cover this news. Consequently, episodes of the widely-watched soap opera have been moved back by one day.
Pope Francis has stepped down as head of the Catholic Church, and Pope Leo XIV was elected as his successor on April 21. In a speech to the crowd after being elected, Pope Leo XIV said, “May peace be with you, it’s the peace of the risen Christ – a peaceful and disarming, humble and persistent peace that comes from God, who loves us all unconditionally. You may recall the faint yet courageous voice of Pope Francis as he blessed Rome on Easter morning, and I now extend to you the same blessing. Know that God loves us all, and evil will not triumph!” (as reported by Vatican News)
As a devoted fan, I’m excited to share some news about my favorite soap opera, B&B. Originally scheduled for May 8, 2025, the upcoming episode has been moved forward by one day to air on May 9, 2025. Rest assured, the regular broadcasting schedule remains unchanged. So, mark your calendars and get ready for another exciting episode of B&B!
