Today on Friday, June 16th following the airing of The Bold and the Beautiful in all U.S. time zones, head on over to The Bold and the Beautiful’s You Tube page for a special behind the scenes look at the CBS daytime drama’s location shoot in Rome, Italy.

B&B kicked-off their Italian remote story arc on today’s episode and the remote scenes will air through Monday, June 26th.

In the sneak peek, the cast traveled to the Eternal City of Rome, Italy, to film exterior scenes from seven episodes. On the lush rooftop of the famed Grand Hotel Plaza, watch as they are interviewed by Italian media during Press Day, film episodes in such iconic locations as the Aventine Keyhole, the Orange Garden, a sumptuous private villa with a rooftop pool, the Trevi Fountain, the Spanish Steps and Piazza Navona.

As had been previously previewed, the Rome-produced episodes, The City of Eternal Love and its stunning architectural beauty is the setting of a magically romantic story where Hope’s Logan’s (Annika Noelle) elegant new fashion collection is a triumph, but the magic of the moment could either break, or fulfill, the promise of true love.

The Bold and the Beautiful is known for its exquisite Italian location shoots.  In the past the show has visited: Lake Como (1997), Venice (1999), Portofino (2002) and the region of Puglia (2012).

In 2023, cast members appearing in the Rome episodes include: Matthew Atkinson (Thomas), Scott Clifton (Liam), Thorsten Kaye (Ridge), Katherine Kelly Lang (Brooke), Annika Noelle (Hope), Lawrence Saint-Victor (Carter) and Jacqueline MacInnes Wood (Steffy).

You can watch the BTS B&B special below, then let us know if you are looking forward to seeing just what happens between Thomas and Hope and Brooke and Ridge in the comment section.

The clothes on this show which is supposed to be about fashion are tacky that jumpsuit Hope wore on the plane looked like it was acid wash denim.

I thought the jumpsuit was appropriate for a long plane ride and she wanted to be comfortable.

Comfort yes tacky no

Do not want to see brook and ridge reunited. He needs to be reunited with his true love taylor.

I agree with you 1000%, very sick of the same ole sh**

Agreed

Agree With Taylor

Want to see Ridge back with Taylor

No she doesn’t look right for him. He and Brooke go together like pancakes and syrup

Reunited with brook

Brook is too sure of herself. No I don’t wasn’t her and Ridge together. Yes I know it’s a show.

Yes, I have always wanted ltogether. Although they have had a lot of ups and downs. I rather they be together then with Taylor she is a m manipuler who’s sneaky just lke her son and daughter. I’m tired of Steffy tearing down Hope and Liam, many he’s not a very strong man. I think he need Hope better then Steffy please don’t change that.

No, I don’t want to see him with Taylor or Brook. They all need to move on.

I know the scenes with Taylor are interesting with Brooke it’s phony

I agree with the statement tired of seeing Ridge and Brook together I have got to where I don’t watch when it is on those two. It would be so exciting to see Ridge with Taylor , and Brook with Deacon . Watching Brook and Ridge is just so Boring.

Ridge and Brooke belong together

Want to see Ridge and Taylor back together again

No

Yes Taylor

I would like to see Taylor and Ridge reunited.
Also like to see Thomas and Hope reunited so that Douglas has a True family.

Absolutely. He has never stopped loving Brooke!! They are awesome together. ❤️

Will they ever allow Thomas to have his own girl friend. He needs to have his own true love and no more drama in his life. Let Thomas be happy for once.

I am so tired of brooke and ridge and the whole “destiny” thing…give Taylor a shot ridge!

Yes. Please this Brook thing is crazy.

Right!

M,
He gave her two shots too many and wound up with two obnoxious and obtrusive kids.

M,
He gave her two shots and it produced two of his worst children!

Ridge should not have left Brooke to begin with. They were doing good until Thomas interfered.

True.

Sicking

Brooke and Ridge were doing great until Thomas interfered.

Bring back Quinn she kept things interesting.Ridge is a has been bring in someone young and bad for Taylor, Brooke sickens me…….

True, Quinn truly kept things going, never a dull moment with her. Loved her and Carter together.

gee-gee,
You just loved them cheating on Eric?,how nice.

I agreed Brooke is TOO OLD to be trashy like she is

Iam tired of Ridge Brooke and Dana take them off the show. Bring something good to show.

Seems we are all agreeing. Why do they continue?

I wish they would let everyone stay together and quit going in circles with the same people changing from one to the other. They need new people on the show and for one thing. Hope and Thomas is not a good match. The Italy trip is not all that interesting nothing new about it. Just a repeat of shows before someone sleeping with someone else man or woman.

So old and sick of the Ridge and Brooke teenage storyline. It’s been done too many times. Get over it break them up and let it go.Move on they are older now.

AGREED!! STOP IT!! No elders acting like horny teens!

I wish there would be something different on the show a little bit of excitement give people something to talk about. I would like to see hope and Thomas together Liam and steffy is always messing around and put Taylor and Brooke together that would show them all

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Remy to Dylan, ‘Since You Owe Me, I’m Here to Collect!’

For those anticipating a Luna Nozawa returning back-from-the-dead to The Bold and the Beautiful were in for a surprise, when it turned out the person who made Dylan (Sydney Bullock) let out a blood curdling scream on Friday’s episode was revealed on Monday’s May 4 installment as none other than Remy Pryce (Christian Weissmann) ... Dylan’s cousin!

In the reveal, it turns out that Remy donned a black wig to be in disguise to sneak into Forrester Creations since he’s persona non grata for making and posting deep fakes of Electra Forrester (Laneya Grace) when he was previously obsessed with her. “I’m not that guy anymore,” Remy claimed to Dylan.

As he also tried to explain, wearing the wig and using the voice alternating app were ways of his attempt to be careful and discreet. “Mysterious, right? Remy remarked.  He also added that the deep fakes of Electra was made out to be, “way worse than it actually was.”

Next viewers get their familial relationship back-story. Remy, grew up outside Dallas while Dylan grew up in the midwest Remy’s arrival at Forrester he says is a chance to reconnect with his cousin.

But Remy has an agenda, as he reminds his cousin that the “tips’ he gave to her helped her get the art-school job, which led to her becoming friends with Electra. In his opinion on the situation, all of that changed the trajectory of Dylan’s life.

And that’s not all, Remy says he knows all about Dylan’s stay at the beach and all the drama her being there caused for Will (Crew Morrow) and Electra’s relationship. Remy says he isn’t on her case about it.

Dylan finally asks him, what does he want? A ominous Remy says, “I did you a solid, and now I’m asking you to return the favor. There’s something I need from you, cuz, and since you owe me, I’m here to collect.”

So, what does Remy want? Something that will help him get into the good graces of the man he says he loves in Deke Sharpe (Harrison Cone), or something else? Stay tuned.

Meanwhile, Sydney Bullock spoke to TV Insider about the cousin connection between Dylan and Remy. “She’s so stressed, explains Bullock on her soap alter-ego. Sydney added, “She’s been on such good behavior, suppressing feelings for Will, suppressing any frustration she might have with Electra or R.J. or anyone. She’s just trying to stay in line and be so put together and overcorrect and go above and beyond, so with Remy coming into town, it’s like he’s loosening up the strings on her life again, and she’s trying to tighten up. So, I think she’s really anxious and has no idea what’s going to happen and whether it’s going to be a secret or not. She really doesn’t want to upset Electra but has no idea how to even go about this.”

Now let us know us, happy or not happy that the reveal was Remy and not Luna that freaked out Dylan? What do you think of the connection between Remy and Dylan? It looks like these two will end up in cahoots whether Dylan likes it or not. Comment below. But first check out, the scenes from today’s B&B between Remy and Dylan, followed by our recent conversations with Christian Weissmann and Harrison Cone from the BBTV app party on the Michael Fairman Channel.

Eventually, Adam gets Chelsea (Melissa Claire Egan) to save them while Nick finds a stash of pills and pockets them. Matt prepares to take Sharon (Sharon Case) and Noah (Lucas Adams) hostage.

Over at The Bold and the Beautiful, the truth was finally exposed and thanks to a tip off from Daphne (Murielle Hilaire), Electra (Laneya Grace) leaned that Ivy (Ashleigh Brewer) was the perpetrator who took the letter meant for Will (Crew Morrow), where she professed her love for him and wanting to be back together with him.

Ivy, went so far as to continue saying she was doing it for her niece’s own good. Elsewhere, Katie (Heather Tom) and Brooke’s (Katherine Kelly Lang) riff as over their warring fashion houses Forrester Creations and Logan heated up, while Dylan (Sydney Bullock) and R.J. (Brayan Nicoletti) both were figuring what, if any, future she had with Will, and he had with Electra.
