“The secret to enduring success is a mélange of a lot of different elements,” Land says. “The Bold and the Beautiful head writer Brad Bell knows how to strike a balance between keeping the show new and exciting and also giving the viewers the same great stories they’ve always known and loved. The show is about a glamourous, successful fashion family in Los Angeles. The characters are unforgettable, and the plot twists are jaw-dropping. The fashion featured on the show is gorgeous, and there are a lot of mysteries. You never know when one of the many delicious secrets will be compromised, and then which lives will be shattered. Through it all, Brooke has a heart of gold, and no matter what, the Forrester family always triumphs.”
