Big changes are happening over at CBS’ The Bold and The Beautiful as Courtney Hope took to Instagram to share details of a major move.
The show has filmed their last day at longtime home Television City, and Courtney, who played Sally Spectra on the series for three years before moving over to The Young & The Restless, thanked stage 31 for “all the memories” and for “giving this girl her first shot on a soap”.
“To my first home, thank you for all the memories on stage 31. You gave this girl her first shot on a soap, and made little Courtney’s dreams come true,” she shared on Stories alongside a picture of her posing against the sound stage door.
“Leaving this building after decades of stories told is emotional, but I’m excited for your new journey in a new studio,” she continued, adding: “See you all again soon, cheers to the new chapter.”
The Bold and the Beautiful is relocating from Television City close to Hollywood to Sunset Las Palmas Studios, a ten-minute drive east. It has filmed at Television City for almost 40 years, since its inception in 1987.
The decision came as the sale of Television City came around the same time as the expiration date for the show’s lease.
Production for the soap is scheduled to begin on August 19 when the show returns from its summer hiatus.
