‘General Hospital’, ‘Bold and the Beautiful’, ‘Days of Our Lives’ and ‘Young and the Restless’ will all have to adjust to the ‘new normal’ that is already taking place in the entertainment world now that the coronavirus (Covid-19) has managed to disrupt life as we know it. In fact, the production behind the scenes of our favorite daytime television shows might never be the same from this point forward. Here’s what you need to know.
As many fans can recall, all of the four major network soaps pressed the pause button on filming back in mid-March, and right before the coronavirus crisis forced everyone to shelter-in-place. Since then, states from all over the country have been doing whatever they can to help flatten the curve in the hopes that businesses can resume once again, but in a more safe environment.

‘The Bold and the Beautiful’, ‘The Young and the Restless’, ‘General Hospital’ and ‘Days of Our Lives’ News: Here’s How Soaps Will Adjust To The New Covid-19 Normal
According to the Financial Times, some of Netflix’s shows have already started up production again in countries such as South Korea, Japan, and Iceland, where hand sanitizers, masks, and gloves have all become the new norm. What’s more, boxed lunches have replaced buffets and communal snacks and breaks are taken every few hours so the cast and crew can wash their hands and disinfect surfaces. In addition, make-up artists use single-use disposable applicants and the cast’s wardrobes are steam-cleaned every day.
With that said, none of the producers of ‘General Hospital’, ‘Bold and the Beautiful’, ‘Days of Our Lives’ and ‘Young and the Restless’ have made any comments about their post-quarantine plans or when production will resume. Of course, it all depends on the state of California, and when the shelter-in-place orders will be lifted. But seeing how Netflix is handling production abroad, there’s a very good chance that both Hollywood and the television world will be taking the same proper precautions when everyone gets to business. Daily Soap Dish will share all of the latest details as they come available.
