Place Settings
The places to see and be seen on B&B, GH and Y&R.
Bikini Bar: Long-time watering hole for the denizens of L.A., Bikini Bar attracts the young, hot, hip crowd. In 1996, the establishment made headlines when bartender Sly, who lived in the apartment upstairs, set fire to the place to try and kill Eric’s niece, Jessica, and her pal Jasmine. The establishment was rebuilt and these days, Danny is the bartender, Flo is a waitress. The upstairs apartment was most recently used in 2019 when Ridge was too drunk to drive and crashed upstairs; Shauna crawled into bed beside him and they shared a kiss. Forrester Creations Boutique: This Forrester outlet, set on Beverly Hills’s ritzy Rodeo Drive, is the exclusive retail hot spot for the latest in haute couture. Rick took Maya there on one of their first dates, when he gave her a “Cinderella” day in 2013 before she knew he was a Forrester, and later that year, it was also a crime scene when two robbers, dressed in drag, attempted to steal the Hope For The Future diamond, which Wyatt had orchestrated as a publicity stunt. Forrester Creations Headquarters: The Beverly Hills hub of most of the action on B&B, the family-owned business, started by Eric and Stephanie, has seen a multitude of fashion extravaganzas and corporate takeovers through the years. These days, Eric is CEO Emeritus and son Ridge and granddaughter Steffy run the firm as coceos. Giardino: Il Giardino, located near Forrester Creations’ headquarters, is the hottest spot in town to dine outdoors for lunch or dinner, and a supposedly reformed Sheila worked there as a waitress from 2017-18. Despite its ritzy reputation, the Italian restaurant has also seen food fights and a number of confrontations, often between Ridge and Bill. Point Dume: This beautiful oceanside locale in Malibu was the site of two of Ridge and Brooke’s weddings, in 1994 and again in 2009. Catalina Island: Just off the California coast, this idyllic island retreat has been paradise for Eric and Sheila. In 2019, Hope planned a babymoon for her and Liam, but he was waylaid by an incoming storm and she gave birth solo to their daughter, Beth. Spencer Publications: In L.A.’S Century City, not far from Forrester Creations, is the headquarters of Bill Spencer, Jr.’s media empire, Spencer Publications. There, Bill works side by side with his sons Liam and Wyatt, his trusty right-hand man Justin and his ever-loyal assistant, Alison.
