to Sunset Las Palmas, as their lease is up. So they're keeping production in L.A.

 

 

'The Bold And The Beautiful’ Leaving Television City After 38 Years, Will Continue To Film In Los Angeles https://t.co/ho6BSwFYHy

— Deadline (@DEADLINE) June 6, 2025

Hopefully they can expand some of the sets again. I watched some 04/05 episodes and forgot how much more grand the production used to feel.

I wonder if YR will be staying put or going there or somewhere else as well.

I was just taking about this in the Y&R thread - they desperately need better studio space. 

At this point Y&R's next step is to go fully green screen and have the actors Zoom from home.

That means full-on budget mode.

Sony is probably waiting until Y&R’s lease is up as well. All of TV City is going to be gutted, so they have to relocate at some point. 

This is a pretty huge thing IMO, but I guess we will see what happens? Can't get any worse then already. 

What will actually change though? Does this mean the sets will be different too? Or how exactly is this gonna look like to the viewers?

I'm hoping that the new studio might have more space, meaning extra sets could be permanently erected.

Perhaps the current  set issues are due to limited space available at Television City as it shuts down for the redevelopment.

But if more space means spending more $$$ we might be stuck with the current situation no matter where they move.

I sure hope you’re right. The lack of sets is maddening!

The TVC Studio 31 that they used for 38 years was only about 13,730 sq ft., according to the TVC website specs: https://televisioncityla.com/stages-offices/

Sunset Las Palmas Studios has 11 sound stages, which go up to 20,000 sq ft., though we're yet to learn which of those sound stages will house B&B. Depending on which one, the specs for it can be found here: https://www.sunsetstudios.com/los-angeles/las-palmas-studios/

Sound Stages 4, 5 and 9 are available for use starting September 1, 2025. It's unclear if either of those stages would be used by B&B since they begin production there starting Tuesday, August 19, 2025, which would be before the date shown on the website, but we shall see. Of those three sound stages, only Sound Stage 4 and 5 make sense since they are larger than the specs the show had at TVC, while 9 is quite smaller. 

Sound Stage 4 would be the best option overall for B&B since it has 18,819 sq ft., the largest individual sound stage at the lot - Stage 3 and Stage 8 share space, which combined makes the space 19,900 sq ft.

Forgot to add, unless there was an issue with storing the sets, the changes at TVC should have had no issue with production on the show, resulting in fewer set use as there has been no movement in terms of construction that would impact either show (B&B/Y&R). Of the 2-3 times I've been at the studio, the most recent for Don Diamont's 40 years at CBS, it was the most dead I had ever seen the space, but that could be due to vacations, holidays, or the preparation of the B&B move.

I wonder if less set use was preparing for the move. They probably were preparing for this for awhile now

Well, a good number of sets were up when I was there, but there was a limited number of people around. Even Y&R seemed dead, but maybe everyone was out for lunch at the time? I remember driving from the parking lot and preparing to enter the roadway when I saw Michelle Stafford and Christian LeBlanc returning from what I think was their lunch break. Not sure where they went or were coming from.

From what actors have said, Y&R has been very busy taping the upcoming storyline, and that was up to and including the week of Diamont's party, and after.

At this point and laziness that I've witnessed... I doubt anything will be better or improved in this show. Bell doesn't care.
