CBS ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ Spoilers: Thorsten Kaye Opens Up About Working In The New Covid-19 Era
He explained, “What we sell is romance and kissing and touching and hugging and with all the rules in place, is it going to be a waste? I didn’t think that we had what we needed to keep telling our stories but between Brad and the writers and everybody else, they figured it out and we’re doing it.”
With that said, the handsome actor did admit that while it is starting to feel like second nature, working on the set does feel odd with all of the new guidelines. As many B&B fans know, the actors are required to stand six feet away from one another at all times and are not allowed to have any physical contact with their co-stars. Instead, their spouses or partners have stepped in to film all of the intimate scenes with them.
Thorsten further added, “Listen, the people are there and it’s the same place, but it is different. Listen, one of my favorite things is to sit with John McCook (Eric Forrester) after work and just hear stories because he’s a great storyteller and we’ll have a beer and just talk about life. And those moments are not here right now.”
He continued, “We just can’t do it. And even just on set, messing around with everybody, we’re not there yet. But what kind of keeps us going is the people, hugging it out or just making jokes with camera guys and all that. That’s part of what we do. I don’t think we’ve found that comfort level yet, but that’s not going to affect the work in any way.”
