Following stringent COVID-19 safety measures, The Bold and the Beautiful became the first U.S. broadcast series to return to production on stage on June 16. The show-stopped filming after one day so that the testing process could be changed because, as the producers said, there were “many false positives.”
The Bold and the Beautiful resumed shooting on June 24 after moving to a new lab and has been filming ever since. Among the measures is the use of performers’ real-life partners in romantic scenes as stand-ins.
Along with sister CBS daytime soap The Young and the Restless, The Bold and the Beautiful had around 4-6 weeks of episodes completed prior to the March 17 production shutdown.
The last original episode aired in April, and on April 27, both shows began broadcasting themed weeks of repeat episodes. The Young and the Restless will start production; ABC’s General Hospital will resume taping the week of July 20, and NBC’s Days Of Our Lives will return to the stage on September 1.
