Trivia:

Art imitating life: The Forrester Mansion as seen on TV was modeled after the real life mansion of series creators William J. Bell and Lee Phillip Bell (once owned by Howard Hughes) whereas the estate of their son Bradley Bell served as the model for the house of Brooke Logan. The backdrop shots of two other sets belong to houses owned by the Bell dynasty, though the belonging sets used on the show share no similarities with reality: The house of William J. Bell Jr. and his wife 'Maria Arena Bell' serves as the Bel Air Mansion of Ridge and Taylor Forrester, actress Lauralee Bell calls the Marone Mansion home in real life.

Quotes:

Amber: We've gone from two insecure, screwed up teenagers to top of the world.

BEST SOAP!

B&B Rules! The plot, setting and characters rock. I like how it has a complicated family tree, with practically every character being related in some way. And all the characters are rich on the show. Amber Moore is my favorite, at first she was a b*tch, but now she is nice ever since that secret! Kimberly's new hair style is cool, she is much sexier now. The show has changed so much. Some parts about it are better, while others are not. Many of the enemies are now friends. Like C.J. & Rick, and Sally & Stephanie. They did drop a lot of good characters over the years though. Like Jessica, Dylan, Jasmine, Sly, Sheila, Felicia, Maggie, Myles, and Ivana. At least they've kept other characters, like Brooke, Rick, C.J., Taylor, Macy, etc. The fights are so adventurous. B&B is so underrated. I wish they would extend it's time.
