Soaps Returning To Production

[JAS0N47]

 

I've known them to do maybe scenes from 5 or 6 episodes in a day. Never known them to do 15 episodes in a day.

 

In any event, whatever is taped averages out to about 1.5 episodes of material per day. That's why they average 7.5 episodes a week.

This won’t end well. 

[John]

So you would rather they possibly infect one another then spend an extra few days doing all necessary testing? Brad Bell seems to have a safety first motto. Thats awesome

[VanessaReardon]

Rushing back into production won’t end well.......

[John]

Three Months is not the idea of rushing to me. If they had gone back in 2 weeks as originally thought  that would be rushing. 

It sounds Like Brad has been working on this since March and they just need all their testing capabilities in place which is a good idea

 

I do wonder if Days, GH & YR have been planning all these months for their returns?

[lucaslesann23]

Its only 3 days lost. Not that big of a problem imo

 

[John]

Exactly. I want all these shows to have the right protocals on place before they film. Everyone should feel safe on their sets

[Vizion]

Lol I know the other soaps are happy for B&B to be the guinea pig. 

 

I will say a few days isn't a big deal but it does seem they weren't as prepared as Brad claimed and it kind of takes the wind out of the sails after doing all those interviews about how ready they are. 

 

But if B&B doesn't have enough tests for their small ass cast I don't know what Y&R amd GH are going to do. 

[Chris B]

B&B is clearly TV’s guinea pig. I’m sure behind the scenes everybody is watching how it goes to determine next steps. I didn’t expect it to be flawless so it’s nice they’re actually stopping to try and retool the testing aspect.

[John]

Especially since Laura Wright said GH  May test actors  3 Times a week. Im guessing its the rapid testing they will be using.

[lucaslesann23]

Agreed. 

[John]

Im guessing the earliest that Days, GH &YR go back to work will be after the 4th of July

[lucaslesann23]

Thats what lauralee bell said. YRs cast will get told two weeks in advance. They haven't gotten a call yet.

[Planet Soap]

It'll be a sad day when the classics end on cbs daytime..back to tuning in like once every 2 months. We can only hope the modern writers were watching and learned something.
