One thing I want to mention. The lighting in the new studio makes everyone look a lot better. They truly look like movie stars. In previous years, the show had some terrible lighting issues... to the extent that some people's wrinkles and scars were veeeeery noticeable. (Nothing against wrinkles, but it was too harsh sometimes.) Currently... I'm noticing a significant improvement. For instance, Brooke... looks absolutely stunning. They had the bad habit of lighting her in a very harsh way. The frame of the image also conveys the spaciousness of the set... It's very modern and quite a departure from the old IN YOUR FACE style of shooting. They still have the soapy close-ups, but they also allow for more space and air around the bodies. I gasped when I finally saw Brooke from head to toe in her high heels, moving around. I had become so accustomed to only seeing her cropped up. My husband, also a big fan of Bold... noticed me watching the new episodes and remarked - Wow, they've made a lot of upgrades. It looks like a primetime show!
Now if they do something about the writing, the show will be unstoppable.
Examples.
Bigger frames, seeing them from head to toe is so great.
Without that harsh light on Brooke and Ridge's faces... they look 10 years younger.
Again, you feel the spaciousness of the set. Brooke is walking around... with this sexy bravado. It's a quite different vibe to what we were used to.
