2011-2017 Opening Credits

The opening credits have been an iconic part of The Bold and the Beautiful since its debut, in 1987. Since, three different "styles" of opening credits have been created; the third opening sequence lasted from 2011-2017.

Backstory
In February 2011, the theme and title sequence were revamped once again. This new sequence features a fashion show going on with the main actors hidden around the room with the core four (Ridge, Brooke, Stephanie, and Eric) in the background on the stage behind the models. Other cast members are seen watching the show either from the front row or on the balconies. Much like in the previous opening credits, the actors' names and their characters' names also appear. Over time, when an actor has either joined or left the series, they are either added into or are taken out of the shots.
