The Bold and the Beautiful is set to make TV history by becoming the first American daytime drama to shoot in the United Arab Emirates.
The TV soap will shoot in Abu Dhabi and Dubai next month. Leading actors Thorsten Kaye, Don Diamont and Katherine Kelly Lang, who plays Brooke Logan, will make the trip with the crew.
The episodes shot in the Middle East will air in the US later this year, according to TV Guide magazine.
Show producer Bradley Bell says, "This is a great opportunity for us. B&B (sic) is really popular on the Dubai One network and that's opened up a lot of doors. We don't quite know what to expect but that's always the most fun part of this job - going off and trying things we've never done before. It's very exciting."
Lang will compete in a triathlon in Abu Dhabi during filming.
* The Bold and the Beautiful is shown n Australia on channel 10.
