‘Bold and the Beautiful’ May Return to Filming in June — With Some Changes
The television production shutdowns have mostly continued with the ongoing pandemic, and that includes most daytime dramas, many which have turned to airing reruns in the absence of new episodes. But it seems there might be more new episodes of The Bold and the Beautiful on the way — and sooner than we thought.
Initially, Bold and the Beautiful shut production for two weeks before changing the status to indefinitely. Now, Deadline reports that the cast and crew of the CBS soap received a memo informing them that production could resume as soon as this June. This return isn’t set in stone yet, as everything remains up-in-the-air until the production company deems it’s safe to resume filming. Safety measures will need to be taken and nothing will begin until guidelines are set by Television City and approved by Hollywood unions.
What would safety protocols likely include? Considering the show’s affinity for scenes that include kissing, brawls and other forms of close contact, it’s easy to imagine that actors would need to maintain distance and avoiding such scenarios for the time-being. And perhaps the storylines will reflect our current world?

In the meantime, flashback episodes are airing daily for both B&B and The Young and the Restless. TV Insider reached out to B&B representation about a possible return to production but they have “no comment or statement at this time.”
Stay tuned for updates as they arrive and delve into the past with The Bold and the Beautiful‘s reruns airing weekdays on CBS.

Why didn't they start the reruns from the 1st show forward? Although I've been watching for 20+ years I think I would of enjoyed seeing it from day 1!

I know they don’t want to hear this, but I have stopped watching both Y&R and B&B. The rest of the world is moving on. They need to resume filming or get lost in their past.

Take the temperatures of the cast and crew and make sure they feel well before shooting and get on with it. I've been watching for 20 years and already forgot the most recent plots before they quit filming. If they don't come back soon, I'll get in the habit of watching something else.

Well...after House Arrest is lifted for those living in ?California...they could resume filming immediately...(just have ALL the actors wearing their Fear Masks...and maintaining proper Antisocial Distancing)...

I don't like the reruns. They might be able to stay 6 feet apart. It will be the hardest for Brooke. LOL They could use the outside a lot more and stay dressed.
