American soap The Bold and The Beautiful, which used to be shown on Channel 33 in Dubai for several years without a single kiss, will have eight of its episodes shot in the United Arab Emirates, under the creative leadership of Executive Producer and Head Writer, Bradley P. Bell. Parts of eight episodes filmed this week in the UAE will air in the U.S. this year from May 23rd through June 6th, while audiences across the Middle East will see them on broadcaster Dubai One a year later in 2015.
I’ve been fascinated with Dubai and Abu Dhabi for quite some time because of their spectacular skylines rising up out of the desert on the Persian Gulf and the fantastic convergence of diverse international cultures, commented Bell.
In our story, business mogul Dollar Bill Spencer whisks his fiancée, Brooke Logan off to the Emirates to marry her at this new crossroads of the world. Possessive ex-husband Ridge Forrester follows them to impose his will on this romantic, stunt-filled action-packed adventure.”
Speaking about the production, Sarah Al Jarman, Dubai One Channel Manager, added: “We are very excited about The Bold and The Beautiful coming out to Dubai and Abu Dhabi for the filming of their episodes. We have such a strong following for the show on our channel and having the cast here, and the team, filming in the region, really makes it relative for our viewer which makes it that more engaging.
“Our strong partnership and collaboration with The Bold and The Beautiful team is a very long term and mutually beneficial one. B&B have warmly welcomed and engaged with our crew and presenters on their Los Angeles set and we will continue to support them during their Dubai visit.”
Scenes will be filmed at Atlantis, The Palm in Dubai, Burj Khalifa, Dubai Mall Promenade and the Skydive Dubai Helipad in Dubai ad well as at Emirates Palace, along the Corniche, Yas Marina Circuit and the Marina in Abu Dhabi.
Abu Dhabi-based media company twofour54 will provide The Bold and The Beautiful with production services and 15-20 local crew.
