CBS' daytime drama TheBoldAndTheBeautiful will resume filming tomorrow
Sonja Flemming/CBS; Rodin Eckenroth/FilmMagicExecutive producer Bradley Bell details how the CBS soap opera will go back into production Wednesday, from masks on set to actors' real-life partners serving as "love-scene doubles."
We've been preparing for this over the last month, month and a half. We knew the day would come, so we've been modifying our spaces, modifying our studio, our booth, staying up to date on what the most important health and safety protocols are. We feel we're ready to go. Safety is our utmost concern and will be as we return to production.We've been working with a group called Reel Health, and they provide great COVID response services.
And we'll probably also be using some of the classic, old-fashioned tricks of soap opera, where when things heat up, we pan to the fireplace or pan to a candle to indicate things are getting hot [laughs]. All in all, I think a lot of it will be done with the eyes and the voice, and there can still be love in the air and romance on the screen from a safe distance.
What kind of conversations have you had with your cast and crew in the time you've been off? Are people ready to get back to work? We're counting the bodies on the stage at any period of time and limiting that to a specific and low number. Anyone who's on the stage — hair and makeup, lighting, props — they'll all have their designated areas and have to stay in those areas, and keep six feet from everyone, wearing masks of course. The actors will be wearing masks other than during their scenes.We have a stockpile of scripts. We've gone through them all and taken out some of the group scenes.
