CBS ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ (B&B) spoilers finds that is the first daytime television drama – and television series in the entire industry – to return to filming following the Covid-19 outbreak that forced almost everyone from all over the world to stay home and quarantine for several months.
And even though production is back up and running again, there have been some significant changes made to the way things are being operated behind the scenes now. Unfortunately, not everyone is feeling it. Here’s what you need to know.
‘Bold and the Beautiful’ executive producer and head writer Bradley Bell opened up about the changes that have been made so far in a new interview with The New York Times.
Because of all the new social distancing guidelines to help keep the cast and crew six feet apart, the actors are no longer touching one another during the more intimate scenes. Instead, they are using blow up dolls as props whenever a scene calls for kissing.
And according to Bell, at first, he did get all of the strange looks you’d expect from his stars. After all, it’s hard enough to act while kissing your co-star let alone something that looks like a sex doll, right?

He told the publication, “At first, we took out the love scenes, and the show was falling a little flat because we’re all about romance and family interactions. One of the first ideas we had was to bring in mannequins for the intimate scenes and hospital scenes, and it’s working quite well — we’re shooting it from a great distance or in a way you can’t see the form is inanimate.”
Thankfully, some of the actors did turn around and went along with it, even though they were hesitant at first. Bell added, “We’ve had a lot of strange looks and questions like, Do you really want to do this? But everyone is game. They are getting their first latex kiss.”
Needless to say, fans will have to tune in to find out how it will all go down in front of the cameras! ‘Bold and the Beautiful’ airs weekdays on the CBS network.
