I imagine we will see more of this for the soaps. Even when they do come back up, the way Covid is spreading, I predict temp recasts popping up. It'll be interesting to see how they handle it this go around. I don't imagine any will stay dark long enough to stop the flow of new episodes, but we really don't know yet.

Its a week and I believe they shut down briefly when SB was psoitive. Im hoping they can resume filming next week

I thought we may get a temp Maxie but with GH not filming to Next week, KS may be well enough to film

But yes I suspect we may see some fill ins

IMHO, Days should shut down until March since people are testing positive left and right, and it's obvious that pretty much everyone bar maybe some hermit will get infected with omicron (which seems to be a mild strain). They have enough episodes in the can.

Well Days has been filming since tuesday and will be filming end of June 2022 episodes this week
