For nearly four decades, The Bold and the Beautiful has been synonymous with the Bell family — the legendary dynasty behind some of television’s most enduring daytime dramas. But this fall, the Emmy-winning soap opera is entering a new era.
CBS and Bell-Phillip Television Productions have officially announced that Casey Kasprzyk, a 22-year veteran of the show, has been promoted from Supervising Producer to Executive Producer. This makes him the first non-Bell family member to ever share the show’s top creative and managerial title since its debut in 1987.
Kasprzyk will now co-lead the show alongside long-time Head Writer and Executive Producer Bradley Bell, marking a pivotal leadership expansion for the series — and a symbolic passing of the torch in the world of American soaps.
“Twenty-two years ago Casey Kasprzyk joined The Bold and the Beautiful at the front desk,” Bradley Bell said in a memo to cast and crew. “Since then, Casey has flourished in every level of production.”
From Reception Desk to the Executive Suite
Kasprzyk’s journey is the kind of Hollywood story that underscores dedication, loyalty, and creative vision.
He joined The Bold and the Beautiful in 2003, starting at the front desk — a humble entry point that would become the launchpad for one of daytime’s most impressive producer ascents.
Over the years, Kasprzyk climbed the ranks with methodical consistency:
- 2008 – Promoted to Associate Producer
- 2014 – Elevated to Supervising Producer
- 2025 – Promoted to Executive Producer
Throughout his tenure, he became known for his hands-on approach to storytelling, location shoots, and digital engagement.
A Career Built on Creativity and Collaboration
Kasprzyk’s fingerprints are visible across some of The Bold and the Beautiful’s most celebrated moments.
He has been instrumental in executing ambitious international shoots, including fan-favourite storylines filmed in Italy, France, Australia, the Netherlands, Mexico, and Dubai. In 2024, he personally directed the show’s summer shoot in Naples and Capri, earning high marks for cinematic visuals and location integration.
“Casey’s creative accomplishments are too vast to quantify,” Bell said in his announcement. “He has continually elevated the show to new heights.”
Kasprzyk’s work has earned him four Daytime Emmy Awards, including:
- Outstanding Drama Series (2011) – for producing the show’s acclaimed homelessness storyline, filmed in Los Angeles’ Skid Row
- Three Emmy Awards for Original Song, celebrating his contributions to the show’s musical storytelling
He was also central to the 7000th episode celebration, an Emmy-nominated milestone that paid tribute to the show’s legacy and global reach.
A Digital Innovator Behind “Bold Live!”
Beyond the traditional television format, Kasprzyk has also been the creative mind behind Bold Live!, the show’s official YouTube series that launched in 2021.
Hosted and produced by Kasprzyk himself, Bold Live! became a popular digital bridge between the production team and its fan community, offering behind-the-scenes access, real-time cast interviews, and interactive fan Q&As.
The series helped modernize The Bold and the Beautiful’s outreach during the pandemic era — transforming its loyal TV audience into a vibrant, multi-platform community.
Media analyst Hannah Valdez, speaking to TVLine, noted:
“Kasprzyk represents the future of daytime television — he understands both legacy storytelling and digital-first fan engagement. His promotion signals that CBS and Bell-Phillip are future-proofing the brand.”
Preserving the Bell Legacy
The promotion is especially significant given The Bold and the Beautiful’s heritage.
The show was created by William J. Bell and Lee Phillip Bell, who served as co-executive producers until their retirement in 1996. Their son, Bradley Bell, then assumed sole leadership — a position he has held for nearly 30 years.
The Bells’ creative dynasty extends far beyond one series: the family also co-created The Young and the Restless, making their surname synonymous with American soap excellence.
That continuity has been a hallmark of the genre — and part of what makes Kasprzyk’s elevation both historic and daring. For the first time, the stewardship of The Bold and the Beautiful will include a voice outside the founding family.
Bradley Bell, however, remains firmly at the creative helm as Head Writer and Co-Executive Producer, ensuring the Bell family’s storytelling vision remains central.
“Casey’s commitment and dedication to The Bold and the Beautiful has been extraordinary,” Bell wrote. “This next chapter is about continuing to grow the show together.”
Leading Through Transition
Kasprzyk’s promotion also comes at a moment of production evolution.
In early 2025, The Bold and the Beautiful relocated from its long-time home at Television City to the Sunset Las Palmas Studios in Hollywood — a move Kasprzyk helped coordinate. The transition marked the end of an era but opened doors to new production technologies and modernised sets.
His experience managing the relocation, coordinating multi-national shoots, and directing both live-action and digital content makes him uniquely suited to lead the show into its next era.
Industry insiders have long pointed out Kasprzyk’s knack for “keeping the tradition, but evolving the format.”
An Industry-Wide Milestone
Kasprzyk’s appointment isn’t just a milestone for The Bold and the Beautiful — it’s also a rare event in the broader daytime television landscape.
Historically, daytime dramas have been family-run empires, with leadership often passed down through generations of showrunners, producers, and writers. Breaking that mold underscores both CBS’s trust in Kasprzyk and his reputation as one of daytime’s most capable hands.
TV historian Mark Freeman observes:
“This move is both symbolic and practical. The Bell family built a legacy of trust and quality. Kasprzyk has earned his way up within that legacy — and now becomes part of it.”
What This Means for Viewers?
For fans, this change likely won’t disrupt the show’s familiar rhythm. The Bold and the Beautiful continues to air new episodes five days a week on CBS, with Paramount+ carrying next-day streaming access.
Kasprzyk’s influence, however, may gradually be felt through more location-based storytelling, tighter integration with digital platforms, and an expansion of Bold Live! into multi-format fan events.
A New Chapter in Bold History
Since its debut in 1987, The Bold and the Beautiful has aired over 9,000 episodes and earned over 100+ Daytime Emmy Awards, captivating audiences in over 100 countries. It remains one of the most-watched scripted series worldwide.
Now, with Casey Kasprzyk joining the ranks of executive producers, the soap’s next chapter blends legacy and innovation — a fitting evolution for a show built on family, fashion, and fearless reinvention.
