The Young and the Restless spoilers reveal that soap production is still shut down. However, we do seem to be getting closer to filming restarting.

Hollywood Unions Are Involved: COVID – 19 Soap Updates

Y&R spoilers reveal that soap production can restart as long as federal, state, and city guidelines are met. However, there are also Hollywood and actor’s unions. Until they give the green light and feel actors will be protected, soaps will remain shut down.

With social distancing an important part of preventing the spread of COVID-19, this might prove to be a challenge for soap operas.

Even when production resumes, a few actors might not be allowed back — at least, not right away. This is due to actors like Eric Braeden and Peter Bergman being in the high-risk age group.

While not confirmed yet, actors that are in the high-risk groups (advanced age, pre-existing health conditions, compromised immune systems, etc) might be forced to stay home a little while longer.

Soaps in the UK warned of similar fates, especially for Coronation Street because a large percentage of the cast is in their 70s and 80s. So, this might affect soaps all around the world, not just here in the United States.

Less Crew, Fewer Actors On Set

The Young and the Restless spoilers reveal that there is a chance that there will be fewer crew members on set. Likewise, fewer actors will be grouped close together in a scene. Australian soap Neighbours is using creative camera angles to combat this problem. However, it doesn’t solve every filming issue.

If certain scenes involve a lot of people, they might have to be edited a bit in order to adhere to safety protocols.

The Young and the Restless Spoilers: What Is The ‘New Normal’?

Soap actors will likely have to adjust to a “new normal.” But what that entails exactly is anyone’s guess right now.

We will just have to wait and see what happens when production finally starts back up again.
