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.

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.

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

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: Katie Kicks Bill to the Curb … for Now

Published

Bill and Katie

The future isn’t looking so bright for longtime loves Katie Logan (Heather Tom) and Bill Spencer (Don Diamont), when on the Wednesday, November 11 episode Katie wants Bill to leave and give her some space, and to stay away from her!

Katie explains she wanted none of this, but now her insecurity and fear of Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Bill has made it impossible. Bill pleads his case, “I was just trying to help” by speaking with Brooke. Katie tells him, well he didn’t, far from it, it’s all backfired in his face.

Bill insists to Katie that everything he did was for her and her sisters. Katie isn’t buying it. In her mind, Bill has always wanted to stick it to the Forresters. So what changed? She then asks him point blank, if he is still attracted to Brooke? Bill says “no,” but Katie said she wishes she could believe him. He tries to explain that him getting together with Brooke was to broker peace between the Logan sisters.

THE TRUST IS BROKEN

Katie speaks to how she is building her own company, making something of herself, and Bill says to her, “You don’t have to lose the people that you love to prove that you can win.”

Next, Katie is convinced Bill was flirting with Brooke because he texted Brooke a Stallion emoji (she has a point, no?). That reminded Katie of the worst time in her life when he was having an affair with her sister!

She points out how Brooke destroyed her life and took Will away from her and he was sent to boarding school, so why shouldn’t she strike back? Bill tries to point out again, that Katie is going to lose her sisters. But, a defiant Katie fires back, “If they can’t accept me for who I am … so be it!”

Next, Bill says he doesn’t buy it and becomes very emotional calling his wife, “my Katie”.  However, now in a puddle of tears, Katie says those words can’t fix everything. Seeing he is not getting anywhere, Bill walks towards the door and says, “I will hate being apart from you, but I’ll do it for you.”

He vows to never stop fighting for them. Katie’s says, “Goodbye, Bill.”  The music swells, Bill exits, and Katie crawls into a ball on the couch in a dramatic overhead shot to end the episode.

WEDDING BELLS?

In the same episode, it should be noted that Taylor (Rebecca Budig) asked Deacon (Sean Kanan) to re-propose to her, and this time she accepted.

It looks like Taylor or Deacon are headed down the aisle at some point, but not so fast, because Sheila (Kimberlin Brown) was flirting with Deacon, and she won’t take this news lying down.

Check out the emotional scenes featuring Heather Tom and Don Diamont below.

Now weigh-in: were you touched by the moments when Bill left his house to give Katie the space she says she needed over her feelings of betrayal by her husband and her sister, Brooke? How does this all end? Will Katie end up destroying everything in the process on her way to the top? Will she have a mental or physical crisis in days to come?

Crew Morrow and Sydney Bullock

It appears that Melissa Dylan (Sydney Bullock) has thus far successfully been able to swing Will Spencer (Crew Morrow) over to her side, and have him actually develop strong romantic feelings for her.

The one problem in her way is Will’s mother, Katie Logan (Heather Tom), and there is always the possibility that Will and Electra (Laneya Grace), who were each others first loves find their way back to one another.

However for now, Dylan’s portrayer, Sydney Bullock is confident that her soap opera alter ego’s got her man and that she can handle anything that can come her way Speaking on the red carpet with Michael Fairman TV at the recently completed 53rd annual Daytime Emmy Awards, Bullock explained where Will and Dylan’s relationship is at now on the CBS soap opera.

“Dylan is our lovable anti-hero. She’s messy, but she’s a human,” shares Bullock. Adding about keeping Will Spencer as Dylan’s guy, Sydney commented, “I think she can hold on to him for awhile. I think she’s got it in her.”

When asked how it is sharing the screen with young leading man, Crew Morrow, Sydney joked, “Crew, what a doll! It’s a hard job, my goodness! How do I do it?”

In the last few months, Bullock received an on-screen mom when General Hospital and The Young and the Restless alum, Kelly Sullivan (ex-Kate/Connie, ex-Sage, respectively) joined the show as Darcy Dylan.

“I love working with Kelly Sullivan,” said Bullock enthusiastically. “She’s always down to break down the scenes with me, and we go through so much, and she’s really like my mom on set. She’s so amazing.” Sullivan visited the Michael Fairman Channel for a live chat after her B&B debut here.

So, what’s ahead for Dylan and will be exciting? Hold the phone! Sydney explained, “Oh, man! Is it going to get exciting?! Dylan, she’s a survivor and we’re just going to keep seeing her surviving. She finds a lot of ways to do that.”

In the end, Bullock has high-praise and love for her B&B character: “I think she’s super strong and I’m really honored to play her.  I’ve been rooting for her, and as for the fans, I think they will be (rooting for her) too.”

‘The Bold and the Beautiful’s’ Heather Tom Delivers the ‘Power Performance of the Week’

Published

By

Heather Tom

Six-time Daytime Emmy winner, Heather Tom, while not taking the gold at the recent Daytime Emmys for Lead Actress, which would have been a record-breaking victory for an actress; should be prepared that in 2027, she has to be near to a lock take that award home!

In the last few months Michael Fairman TV has named her weekly performances as Power Performance of the Week, and for the week of November 2-6, she has done it again!

How did she earn the honors? Well, quite simply, this version of Katie Logan that is being written and portrayed beautifully, has given the character infused live, a backbone, a woman so tired of being put-upon and wronged, that she is firing back in such major ways that her own family doesn’t recognize her behavior.

KATIE AND BROOKE HAVE A SEISMIC SHOWDOWN

Longtime viewers of The Bold and the Beautiful can make a very compelling case that the behavior is justified. Then, on the November 4 episode, Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Katie have another major confrontation. Katie is irate that Brooke phoned Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) in an effort to help Bill get through to her to back off the way she is destroying Forrester Creations, in what appears to be Katie’s poaching of the design team, and her ramped up vendetta against Brooke.

However, let’s not forget, Brooke and their sister, Donna (Jennifer Gareis) disowned Katie from the family just a few months ago too! Now in this showdown, Katie rips into Brooke after Brooke attempts to reason with her. Brooke even pulls out the “Stormy” card, reminding viewers that Katie has Storm’s heart. She snipes, “Do you really think he’d be proud of you right now?”

In that moment, Katie chokes up and is struck by that statement, but defends her actions and says Storm would be proud of her. Brooke goes in on if Storm would approve of the way she has gone about building her Logan fashion house design team, which to many seem like cutthroat tactics, Brooke even tells her “Bill is worried.”

Katie snaps after that comment and begins to show her disgust and emotional wounds from how Brooke slept with Bill years ago, especially when she goes in on the the text message Brooke sent to Bill and the use of a stallion emoji. Brooke claims it meant nothing, but Katie shuts her down and shuts her up! Reminding her sister, how she destroyed everything.

KATIE NEVER FORGOT HOW BROOKE SLEPT WITH BILL

Brooke reminds Katie that she had postpartum depression at the time, and she “pushed” her and Bill together. Katie begins to cry, “How could you not know something was profoundly wrong?”

Katie says while she was suffering, Brooke was off in Aspen having sex with Bill. She says of her sister, “You take what you want, and it doesn’t matter who gets hurt and whose life gets destroyed.” She then snipes what was her sister’s excuse the second time?

Then, in the masterful moment in the performance, as sister Donna walks into the showdown, Katie warns Brooke to not EVER talk to her again about morality, or ever accuse her of stealing anything from her, when “You are the master!”

BROOKE’S PAST WILL ALWAYS BE THROWN IN HER FACE

Next, Katie throws down the line Stephanie Forrester called Brooke all the years of their feud, “You are just a slut from the valley.” She punctuated it to both her sister, “We all know she’d sell her soul for a little male attention.'”

Katie tells Brooke she will never apologize to Bill, adding, “And I will never forgive you for this. I am so done with you, and if you’re going to stand next to her (aimed at Donna), then I am done with you too.” As the scene came to its conclusion, Katie told Brooke and Katie to, “stay away from me, stay away from my family, and stay away from Bill.”

Throughout all the scenes, Heather Tom displayed why she is one of the fiercest actresses in daytime drama. This storyline has afforded Tom the opportunity to show all of Katie’s inner rage built over years as she finally lets it out on those who wronged her. For anyone who has been made to feel the weaker sibling in a family, Tom is showing the cause and effect of what can happen to someone after years of feeling put down.

For all the reasons stated above, Michael Fairman TV names Heather Tom our selection for Power Performance of the Week. You can check out part of Heather’s emotional turn in the video clip below.

Now let us know, do you agree with our pick of Heather Tom for the Power Performance of the Week? What do  you think about how Katie is being written in this storyline? Do you think Heather has secured the Lead Actress Emmy in 2027? Weigh-in via the comment section.
