The Bold and The Beautiful to film episodes in Australia in celebration of show's 30th TV anniversary... and to boost tourism
It's one of the longest-running soaps, that is set to mark its 30th year of broadcasting in coming months.
And nearly nine years after The Bold and the Beautiful filmed episodes Down Under, the cast is set to return - with filming set to take place next month.
Headed to Australia is the nation's own Ashleigh Brewer (Ivy), who was cast on the show in 2014, Katherine Kelly Lang (Brooke) and Thorsten Kaye (Ridge) among others.

The trip is said to be celebratory to mark three decades of TV success, but is also a push to promote tourism in Australia - with producers joining forces with the nation's airline Qantas.
'This will be an epic celebration for our fans around the world,' Executive producer and head writer Bradley Bell said.
'We are preparing to film the most glamorous location shoot in soap opera history. Collaborating with Qantas, Network Ten and CBS, viewers will witness romance, high style, jaw-dropping twists, harrowing stunts and major cliffhangers, all hallmarks of The Bold and The Beautiful.'

The airline reportedly saw a 22 per cent boost in sales after previously teaming up with The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
Filming will take place from February 12 to 17 and while specific location details have not been released, the cast is set to visit Melbourne during the trip.
Last year, veteran actress Katherine, 55, travelled to Australia and gushed about her experience to News Corp.
