Incorporating the virus into the storylines would make it much easier to pull off the social distancing guidelines. Kissing and bedroom scenes honestly aren't integral enough to go through such dumb filming tricks. If they are going to get creative, have some characters cheat over a meeting app. That would involve no touching and it could actually make for an interesting storyline.

@DramatistDreamer suggested there should be some troubles with business due to COVID on The Young and The Restless. And I think we should be seeing some trouble affecting Forrester Creations due to COVID as well. However, I doubt business will be any focus because we got to make sure Brooke & Bill sleep together for the hundredth time or have Hope and Steffy fight over blow up doll version of Liam instead. 

 

I hope they do a time jump and not go back to Sally Jr. and Dr. Peloton at the beach house after nearly four months later.

Exactly. Just acknowledge the world we live in for once. People will get it. You can still build fantasy, intrigue, and action on top of that, like you’ve shown with the virtual affair story. But again, they demonstrate their lack of respect for the audience’s intelligence. And the lack of creativity they have, even in the best of times.

-Forrester Creations fashion masks and “fashionable” PPE products are what’s holding the company together.

 

-Flo is in a coma. Sally tests positive for COVID-19, recovers, and uses that as a cover to say that’s why she thought she was dying.

 

-Ridge & Shauna have spent the last three months quarantined together in Vegas.

 

See, that’s all that needs to be done!

But... in this case, a time jump makes sense. We ran out of new material in May. Why should Genoa City and L.A. still be 3+ months behind? If not right away, at least at *some* point there'll need to be a reset, unless we want to celebrate Christmas 2020 in March? 

 

Wait, you mean this isn't the real Jacqueline MacInnes Wood?

    • That was my point really. These anniversary party scenes are the first ones, and now they won't be able to use them (meaning these actual scenes, as aired, with OG Ted). They can recreate them but I doubt they will spring for all the extras to come back and film and recreate everything, so it will be more like tight closed in shots of Ted with one or two other actors, or snippets of Leslie's original speech where Ted wasn't visible. It would be hard to recapture the original energy of the scenes are as they were filmed in their full context. I just think that's too bad, but maybe they will prove me wrong. I never really saw what was so off in his portrayal to warrant a recast, anyway, so that colors my perception as well.
    • Yeah, and quite honestly, are there really that many scenes that are flashback-worthy at this point in the run?
    • I know at one point they were on Hulu & i-Tunes. I just checked it on JustWatch.com & it indicates 1 season on Prime Video & on AppleTV. Have fun!
    • That era is so weird...they made a big deal out of all three of those characters and then they just..disappeared! Not that I am complaining. We talk about the bad out of character writing for Alex under JFP..but this was one example that may have led them to write her being so obsessive with Nick.  WHY would Alex accept Flock of Seagulls guy as her brother? They had her in one scene (setting up the Alan return) complain that Alan abandoned her...she blackmailed him into leaving town and she had been angry at him for helping Brandon with Lujack and also using Spaulding for that dumb dreaming death thing. Endless scenes of her with Simon, I can't believe Bev wasn't bored to death! I would also add Pam writing the scene where she lets Ms. Sally die in front of her to protect Alan and  the writing for Alex could be screwy even before JFP.
    • On this day 34 years ago the final episode of Dallas and came in at an astonishing #2 in the ratings after two straight seasons of weak ratings. Interesting Knots was #27 for that week as well:

    • Thank you for clearing that up. I wasn't watching GL regularly yet at that point, but seems to me I should have remembered the big wedding after Leslie's death (which I do remember) described in the profile. Is there a web archive of SOD summaries, or are referring to your own personal collection?
    • I was bummed that 2.0 ended because Mcpherson (headwriter) had really set up some interesting stories and we never got to find out where the stories would go once they resumed production on 'season 2'. I remembered the EP (Ginger Smith) and a lot of the stars gave a lot of credit to McPherson being able to come in on very short notice and come up with stories/plots (I think it was a very short turnaround time of a few weeks).  It was nice that she got to redeem herself after her year long Days stint was not well reviewed/liked.

    • It seems like a setup for failure to review a single episode of a soap, but Cleveland Amory was a foolish man.  His taste was so predictable, that one wondered why bother reviewing a medium he so clearly disliked. (found on Facebook retro TV group) Another case in point of his misogyny from his review of Dark Shadows (Can you imagine the magazine with the widest circulation in the country insulting its customer in this way today?)
