GH, B&B, DOOL & Y&R Spoilers tell us that for ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’, ‘The Young and the Restless’, ‘General Hospital’ and ‘Days of Our Lives’, the lights are still out, but in many other parts of the world, producers have already begun filming their beloved soap operas or are eyeing a potential start date in the coming weeks, and not months. As a matter of fact, there’s a new report that says Mexican broadcaster Televisa is looking to get the cameras rolling again by mid-May or the beginning of June, as they are looking to film new episodes of their signature soap operas while also keeping new coronavirus and social distancing rules and measures in place. Here’s what you need to know.
According to Reuter, the executive producers and writing teams are looking to proceed forward with their production schedule, but with new twists and challenges. Even though the Mexican soap opera industry is known for their hot and sizzling love scenes, it looks like that won’t be happening in the near future, or until at least a coronavirus (Covid-19) vaccine will be made available for the public.

GH, B&B, DOOL & Y&R News: Mexican Soap Operas Eyeing Production Start Date With New Social Distancing Rules
Reuters says that even though Mexico is also grappling with a rise in coronavirus cases, producer Lucero Suarez says that “the show must go on” as this is the first time in the history of telenovelas that they have ever been forced to halt production. However, ratings have been through the roof with everyone in coronavirus quarantine. What’s more, most of their popular telenovelas have enough new episodes to last them through the summer, unlike in the United States. ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ and ‘The Young and the Restless’ have already run out of fresh content with ‘General Hospital’ very close to running out of new episodes, too. The only daytime soap that will continue to air never-before-seen episodes is ‘Days of Our Lives’, as the NBC series normally airs six months in advance.
