MEMORABLE STORYLINES
To mark the screening of the 8 000th episode in the USA in January this year The Bold’s executive producer and head writer, Bradley Bell, shared his favourite plot twists.
BROOKE’S BEDROOM
The name of Brooke’s lingerie line, which she introduced lying on a bed on the runway at a Forrester fashion show.
STEFFY’S WEDDING ENTRANCES
Ridge and Taylor’s daughter married Bill Spencer Jnr’s son Liam three times and each time made sure it was an event to remember.
The first time Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) trapped Liam’s intended bride, Hope Logan, on a ski lift in Aspen, Colorado, then pitched up at the altar wearing a miniskirt and boots.
Wedding No 2 saw her donning a black lace gown and riding in on a motorcycle, while for her third wedding in Australia she ziplined from the top of the Sydney Opera House to the ceremony.
QUINN AND LIAM AS ADAM AND EVE
Quinn Fuller (Rena Sofer) desperately wanted her son, Wyatt Spencer, to have a chance with Steffy. So when Steffy’s boyfriend Liam suffered amnesia after a head injury, Quinn whisked him away to a remote cabin where she convinced him their names were Adam and Eve and that they were married. By the time Liam figured out he wasn’t Adam, Wyatt and Steffy had tied the knot.
