Governor Approves Filming, But There’s Still Red Tape
B&B fans were excited when the governor of California approved filming to resume on June 12. However, it was also made clear that it could only happen if there were approvals from the county, city, health departments, and actor’s unions. As we previously reported, there still is a bit of red tape to get through.

On Instagram, a fan asked Bowden when the soap would begin filming again. She indicated that they are just waiting for approval from the city of Los Angeles.

In the latest issue of Soap Opera Digest, the publication speculated that The Bold and the Beautiful and The Young and the Restless could be the first soaps to resume production.
COVID-19 Rates Spike In Los Angeles
However, there is an unexpected snag in the plan. Just days after the governor made the statement about production being okay to resume no earlier than June 12, there was an increase in coronavirus cases. The spike was not just a few additional cases, either. So, it’s clear that COVID-19 remains a problem in certain areas, one of which is Los Angeles, where the soap is filmed.
Due to the spike in certain California counties, it could put a hold on production plans even longer.
The Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: Expect More Waiting
While nobody has a crystal ball and can’t predict exactly when filming will start up again, don’t expect it to happen right away. The health of the cast and crew must come first.
Even if production restarts immediately, it still will be some time before we see those new episodes on TV. Some outlets are reporting that it could be four to eight weeks after filming restarts. We will just have to wait and see what happens. As new developments and updated information becomes available, we will let you know!

I just want to know when the first new episode will finally being air. I know that the classic episode was great and how the show will fill in the gap between the last original episode and the new episode.
We are waiting anxiously for news… The silence is disturbing…The UK soaps were mindful how their fans felt and gave updates weekly but we have heard not much!
Thank you for any information and I can’t wait to see the first all new episode.
