EXCLUSIVE: For the first time in almost three decades, there will be a change in the executive ranks of CBS’ daytime drama The Bold and the Beautiful. Casey Kasprzyk, a 22-year B&B veteran, has been promoted from Supervising Producer and will join Bradley Bell as an executive producer on the long-running soap.
Kasprzyk is only the fourth executive producer in the 38-year history of B&B, which was created by William J. Bell and Lee Phillip Bell. After a brief solo turn as executive producer by William J. Bell at the series’ 1987 launch, the husband-and-wife duo executive produced together for almost eight years, until February 1996, when they stepped down and were succeeded by their son, Bradley Bell. Since then, Bradley Bell has steered the popular soap as its sole Executive Producer and Head Writer.
