Bold And The Beautiful Spoilers: Expect These Big Cast Changes When B&B Returns

Fans may recall when understudies have filled in for various actors in the past. Unlike a cast change, when one actor voluntarily leaves a role or has a contract non-renewed, the use of a temporary understudy generally involves illness. That may also prove true when upcoming scenes are filmed. But the added use of understudies during romantic scenes adds a new wrinkle to how scenes can be created.

The Bold And The Beautiful Spoilers – Testing Results and Consequences

Assuming that no cast member will ever test positive for the malady that’s plaguing the world would seem overly optimistic and naive. But, as the numbers prove to-date, testing positive does not mean dire consequences in many instances for those individuals who have received such results.

However, a suggested quarantine period is recommended, with whatever one’s symptoms and whether serious illness results or not. That means that any B&B employee will need to be away from the set for a certain period of time if a positive testing result is received.

As the above relates to cast members, stopping a storyline wouldn’t be practical. So, an understudy would logically be used during that temporary period instead.

B&B Spoilers – Romantic Replacements Enable Precautions

Romantic scenes are a hallmark in the daytime. In order to keep as much realism as possible in the show, B&B announced that dolls, actor’s spouses, or their significant others may become part of the filming process.

Dolls have long been used in the entertainment industry as part of so-called trick photography. Those objects appear as part of the periphery or non-central focus of a shot. When positioned skillfully, the audience shouldn’t be able to tell when the replacement humans are utilized.

Kudos to B&B for recognizing that the actor’s loved ones are both realistic and safe replacements for contracted actors in such shots. That strategy is ingenious and surely will allow those who use that option to work safely.

The Bold And The Beautiful Soap Spoilers – Acting Credentials Not Required

Some actor’s spouses are actors. Don Diamont’s (Bill Spencer) wife, Cindy Ambuehl, has worked in the business and would surely be ready to work a scene with him when called upon if she would like to. But other spouses, or significant others, wouldn’t need acting credentials. In either instance, the individual’s face wouldn’t appear in the shot.

Today’s circumstances, which continue to evolve, require creative responses. Here’s to B&B, the other soaps, and all other entertainment outlets that are adapting so that a semblance of normal work life can resume.
