Los Angeles — When Denise Richards returned to the set of CBS’ “The Bold and the Beautiful” last week after the pandemic shutdown filming for three months, a detailed, specific plan was in place to keep everyone safe.
The soap opera is under a microscope, as one of the first U.S. productions to resume after COVID-19 outbreak that stopped production throughout the TV and movie industry out of safety concerns. Other studios and soap operas are working on restart plans. In the UK, the soap “Emmerdale” resumed filming last month.
Richards wasn’t anxious or worried about returning to work. Instead, she felt “very excited,” she said in an interview with The Associated Press.
