CBS ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ (B&B) spoilers finds that executive producer and head writer Bradley Bell is opening up about the soap’s dirty little secrets. Okay, that might not be dirty, but they certainly are interesting! As many fans already know, ‘Bold and the Beautiful’ was the first daytime television soap to go back to work after the coronavirus pandemic suspended filming all throughout the film and television industries. While there was a bit of a hiccup with testing during the first week, everything has been so far working out very smoothly, or at least as smoothly as it can get, considering all of the strict rules and regulation that has been set forth by the CDC and state of California to make sure that the cast and crew remain both safe and healthy. Here’s what he has to say.
Speaking to Soap Opera Digest in a new interview, Bell says that everything is going good on his end. He told the publication, “It’s so exciting to be on stage. It feels very different in many respects. There are fewer people onstage. Everyone, of course, is wearing masks and washing hands and social distancing. It’s a new and exciting challenge that I never thought we’d face, mostly for our directors to create a sense of proximity and intimacy while the actors are across the set from one another. It’s a challenge, but our directing time is amazing and they are pulling off quite a few different tricks.”

Bell also revealed that the show plans to use actors’ spouses as stand-ins for their scene partners. He continued, “They are body doubles that we are using in the intimate scenes, in hospitals and where people are close to one another. Very often we are shooting one actor alone with the double. And then we shoot one side of the scene and then we take that actor out and bring the other side in. When you edit it together, it’s very effective.”
