There's something very endearing about The Bold Type, the TV drama now in its fourth season that follows friends working at a magazine inspired by Cosmopolitan. While there have been many shows about high school students who form a tight-knit pack, it's not quite as common with characters in their twenties. That's why fans have taken to this series. The main characters love each other, try hard at work, and want to find love, too.
It's always fun to learn more about the filming of a favorite show and there are many behind-the-scenes secrets of The Bold Type that fans will be more than happy to hear about.
10 The Scene About The Goop Stone Is Based On Some Truth
Joanna Coles, who was the editor-in-chief of Cosmo and whose working life inspired the show (she's an executive producer), shared that there's a scene that was based on something that actually took place.
When an employee realizes that a Goop stone won't come out of their private parts, that was inspired by a real life story. IRL, an employee was writing an article about a sponge, but they weren't able to remove it themselves.
9 The Girls Are Friends IRL
Fans are all about the fact that three main characters are best friends and as it turns out, the actresses who portray those girls are close in real life.
Katie Stevens, who plays Jane Sloan, said that the girls love going to a Montreal restaurant for lunch and Aisha Dee, who plays Kat Edison, is often excited about music to share with everyone.
8 The Actors Loved The Season 2 Body Love Photo Shoot
In the second season of the show, the characters participate in a photo shoot that is all about body love and positivity. The actors really loved filming it and knew that it was crucial to share the message of being comfortable with one's self.
Katie Stevens shared that everyone has "flaws" but they're actually things that everyone should celebrate because of how "normal" they are. The show's message is often very inspirational and this was just one example.
7 The Bold Type's Office Building Was Used On Suits
Suits is known as a TV show that has filmed in Toronto, and The Bold Type films in Montreal. But the two popular shows have something in common: the same office building is used on both shows.
When fans see the lobby, that's also the same, along with the angle that the building is shot from.
6 Jacqueline And Her Husband Really Are Married
The Bold Type characters revolve around Jacqueline Carlyle, the editor-in-chief of Scarlet who keeps everyone inspired, motivated, and ready to produce the best work possible.
She has also been experiencing a rocky marriage to Ian. As it turns out, the actors, Melora Hardin and Gildart Jackson, really are married.
5 The Crew Created 20 Scarlet Magazines
Fashion is a big part of the series and Meghann Fahy's character Sutton Brady not only looks awesome in every scene but works in the fashion department of Scarlet.
In one scene, fans see that Sutton has created a mood board, and there's a really cool story behind it. Crew member Sophie Arshoun shared that the show's graphics and props departments created 20 Scarlet magazines that could be used on the mood board.
4 Aisha Dee Loves That Kat Isn't Perfect
Kat is definitely not a character who fades into the background. She reaches for her dreams all the time and, sure, she messes up.
But Aisha Dee, the actress who plays Kat, thinks that it's wonderful that Kat isn't perfect. She was interviewed by The Daily Mail Australia and said that it's "realistic" that Kat has made some wrong choices over the course of the show.
3 The Pilot Was Shot In Toronto
Toronto residents most likely cheered when they tuned into the pilot of The Bold Type as they could recognize many familiar locations.
The pilot was shot in Toronto and some locations include the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts, Bloor-Yonge subway station, and a King Street West building.
2 Everyone Thought Pinstripe Was Really The Character's Name
The Bold Type has done a great job portraying the difficult relationship between Jane and Pinstripe (Dan Jeanotte). A fun behind-the-scenes fact is that it took the cast a while to realize that Pinstripe's name is Ryan because it took so long for him to be called by his actual given name.
1 Katie Stevens Says Jane Will Become "Bossier"
Jane is a great character but she can have trouble expressing herself, especially in the workplace. Katie Stevens said that Jane will become "bossier" and that's a personality change that fans will see come to fruition on the series now that she's an editor.
It looks like everything is changing for the girls of The Bold Type as the show finishes up its fourth season.
