John McCook's daughter pays loving tribute to her dad as The Bold and the Beautiful ends legacy era

As the cast and crew of The Bold and the Beautiful are on hiatus until next month, home as they know it is changing. John McCook’s daughter, Molly McCook, captured the move beautifully for her dad.

The Bold and the Beautiful is on the move

On The Bold and the Beautiful, John McCook plays Eric, the patriarch of the Forrester family, and founder of Forrester Creations. McCook has been on the show for 38 years, one of the only two remaining original actors who have been on the show since its first episode on March 23, 1987.

McCook’s daughter, Molly McCook, accompanied her parents to the studio in Television City when the last scene was filmed before production moved to Sunset Las Palmas Studios. When filming resumes on August 19, it will be at the new location. She made a video tribute to her dad’s work and the legacy of the studio:

This past week, many of the cast and crew have been sharing their memories and feelings about leaving the studio behind. McCook and his wife, Laurette, have been no exception, posting multiple videos on Instagram, giving tours, and describing how they felt about the change.

“I first walked these halls at TV City as a teenager on Y&R. I grew up here. A LOT of us did. We’ve been through an immense amount of life together in these halls,” shared Ashley Aubra (Bridget, B&B).

“50 years ago I was Lance Prentiss on The Young and the Restless then in 1987 I became Eric Forrester on The Bold and the Beautiful. Today I’ve spent 50 plus years at CBS Television City…my dressing room now is empty and our show will be moving over to The Sunset Las Palmas Studios where it will rebuild, refresh and enlarge our sets, bringing back the old glitz and glamour of our show. Stay tuned for what’s ahead and spread the good news. Soap Opera is here to stay…,” John McCook had posted on his Instagram account.

Many fans, coworkers, and costars past and present enjoyed the posts. “We will all miss seeing you in the halls! It was an honor to work with you there and to have many great chats in that dressing room! Cheers to this new chapter,” Courtney Hope (Sally Spectra, B&B and Y&R) wrote. Lauralee Bell (Christine, Y&R — and sister of B&B head writer and exec producer, Bradley Bell) added, “I will miss your smiling face in the hallway! Hope you’ll invite us over for a fieldtrip to show us the new spot.”
