The shows producer Bradley Bell thinks this is a “great opportunity” for the show. He furthermore adds that he believes the shows popularity in the UAE has helped to open some doors for them. Bell states “we don’t quite know what to expect but that’s always the most fun part of this job – going off and trying things we’ve never done before. It’s very exciting.”
Filming is expected to take place between March 17 and 19th in Abu Dhabi and Dubai. Leading actors Thorsten Kaye, Don Diamont and Katherine Kelly Lang will be headed there for the filming. This marks the first time any American daytime drama will be shot in the UAE.
The plot will focus on the rivalry between Ridge and Bill, it will see Ridge following Brooke and Bill to the United Arab Emirates. According to Bell “Ridge still feels like he’s Brooke’s protector and he certainly doesn’t want Bill to become stepfather to his son, R.J. So he’s a man on a mission!”
The episode is expected to air sometime in late May or early June.
This will be cool.
