CBS ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ (B&B) spoilers finds that has once again halted production the same day that the series started back up again. There are new reports that say B&B has paused production until next week to help accommodate all of the additional Covid-19 testing that is needed to ensure that the cast and crew will be working in a safe environment again. And while the producers of the show say that the first day back was a successful one, a lot of critics can’t help but wonder if this snag is an indication of what’s to come for the rest of the television industry. Here’s what you need to know.
The show briefly returned to production on Wednesday at the CBS set in Television City Studios but the producers decided to press the pause button once again to “better accommodate the large volume of testing needed,” as per a spokesperson for the show’s producer, Bell-Phillip Television.
CBS ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ Spoilers: Covid-19 Delays – Bad Foreshadowing For The Rest Of The TV Industry?
“We have paused very briefly to modify our testing protocol to better accommodate the large volume of testing needed. Safety remains our top priority as we continue to move forward with the production of the Bold and the Beautiful. B&B filmed with cast and crew today and it was a successful first day back at work,” read the statement.
‘Bold and the Beautiful’ has actually made headlines for being the first television show to go back into production, as the rest of Hollywood has been suspended since mid-March to help curb the spread of the coronavirus. And while the show is definitely making a lot of adjustments to help stay within the new Covid-19 and social distancing guidelines, like keeping actors six feet apart and using blow up dolls for love scenes, a lot of critics believe that filming from this point forward will never look the same again.
In fact, some comments from fans have even included, “No matter what course this industry takes, it’s going to be rough on the support workers,” along with, “It will be A LOT of zoom calls and working remotely. Sort of like when Chrissy from Three’s Company just called in to the show.” Another fan wrote, “This is bad foreshadowing for the rest of the TV industry. I mean, pilot season (when the new shows start and the old shows start again) is normally in April. Most shows would be almost halfway through filming right now. It doesn’t bode well for the fall season.”
The new B&B episodes are expected to air in mid-July. ‘Bold and the Beautiful’ airs weekdays on the NBC network. Check your local listings for times.
