Bold, Beautiful, and Unbelievable: Don Diamont Turns TV History on Its Head!”
A Tribute to Don Diamont: Celebrating 40 Years on CBS Daytime
It’s a milestone few in the entertainment world ever reach, and even fewer with the grace, charm, and impact of Don Diamont. As he celebrates 40 years in daytime television—most of that time spent captivating audiences on The Young and the Restless and The Bold and the Beautiful—his friends, colleagues, and fans are pausing to honor not just his remarkable career, but the man himself.
“Wait a minute… you’re 45 years old and have been on TV for 40 years?
That doesn’t add up,” joked one longtime friend. “You must’ve started when you were two!” The playful disbelief is a testament to Diamont’s seemingly ageless presence on screen, and his youthful energy off camera.
With a career that began in the early 1980s, Don Diamont has become a daytime icon—known for his charisma, professionalism, and undeniable talent. “I love you so much, Don,” one colleague said in a heartfelt message. “Congratulations on this amazing, amazing landmark.
There’s no one I love running into in the halls more. You’ve made a huge contribution—not just to daytime TV, but to our community, and especially to me.”
Joshua Morrow, a co-star and close friend, added, “Don, my man—40 years is a stunning achievement. You make daytime television handsomer, funnier, and infinitely cooler. Thank you for being you. All of daytime appreciates you, and I’m so proud to call you a friend.”
Another colleague, reminiscing with warmth, said, “You and I go way back—seventh grade, in fact. You probably don’t even remember me! But it’s always been a joy working with you, knowing you, and being your friend. I love you, sweetheart.”
Throughout these tributes, one theme was consistent: Don Diamont is not just a talented actor but a kind-hearted, generous human being.
“For all your muscles and outward toughness,” one friend joked, “you’ve got a good heart. That’s what I appreciate most in a person. Not everyone knows that about you—but you’re a good man.”
With decades of work under his belt, Diamont’s legacy is well established. But for those who know him best, his proudest accomplishments are off-screen—his loving family, his strong values, and his enduring friendships. “You have a great family, great kids, and a great wife,” one peer remarked.
“I’m proud of you, brother. You’ve made a career in one of the toughest industries there is—and you’ve done it with class.”
As Don Diamont marks 40 years on CBS Daytime, the outpouring of admiration is more than deserved. From his early days to his current role as a soap opera mainstay, he remains one of the most respected and beloved figures in the genre.
Here’s to 40 remarkable years—and many more to come.
