Last week, The Bold and the Beautiful was the first scripted show to go back to work after the coronavirus shut down in March.
At the end of the first day that they resumed shooting, the Soap announced that they were taking a break. However, they did not say why.
Now we know why. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the testing lab that they used sent the Soap Opera back several false positives for COVID-19. They switched labs, and no one tested positive.
The show wants to make sure that “our testing protocols were at the highest standard.” Now they are.
Since all of that has been squared away, they are set to resume filming today. Hopefully, all the kinks are worked out.
It stinks being the guinea pig, but we are grateful someone volunteered for the job.
If today is successful and all goes according to plan, then its sister daytime drama The Young and the Restless will be back at on July 6th. Then, I am sure the rest will follow.
