B&B adds another dimension to its broadcast

Emmy winner Jacob Young's family is about to grow. Young and his wife are expecting another child later this year.

The Bold and the Beautiful has become the first daytime drama series to create the so-called "second-screen experience" for viewers. Thanks to a new app, fans can watch B&B live, on-demand, or on a DVR and have a fully-interactive experience with the show via iPhones and iPads.

"The app marks a first for any daytime television program on network TV and, most importantly, enhances our fans' TV-viewing experience, offering them a deeper connection with the characters and content of each episode."
