The Young and the Restless (Y&R) spoilers news update reveal that the CBS soap finally has a tentative date to get the show back up and running. Y&R producers have reportedly contacted the cast and crew with the goal of resuming production on July 6, according to Deadline. That would make The Young and the Restless the second soap to start filming new episodes after The Bold and the Beautiful.
Of course, that July 6 restart date isn’t a done deal. It’s just what producers are aiming for as they work toward getting everyone on set again soon. That date could be pushed back depending on testing and other important factors, especially ones that involve safety. Y&R has to make that the priority as they gear up to bring us all-new episodes.
However, it’s nice to know July 6 is at least the plan for now! B&B resumed filming last week before taking a short pause to expand their testing protocol. The Bold and the Beautiful is set to start filming once again on June 23, so it was only a short delay.
Y&R has a larger cast and crew, so it’s taking them a bit longer to get everything squared away for a return of their own. Still, B&B’s return to production is serving as a helpful model.
The Young and the Restless producers are in touch with the team at B&B, which is allowing them to monitor the situation closely and prepare for Y&R’s upcoming restart.
Once The Young and the Restless is back in production along with The Bold and the Beautiful, the pressure will be on for General Hospital and Days of Our Lives to do the same. Naturally, no daytime drama should put their cast and crew members back on set until it’s safe to do so.
DOOL and GH will have to work just as carefully to ensure all the guidelines are followed, but this news about B&B and Y&R is good for soaps all around. It should mean Days and General Hospital will get their own comebacks in the works before long. As other updates emerge, we’ll keep you posted.
Are you excited that Y&R could resume production as soon as July 6? The Young and the Restless spoilers say new episodes will follow up on some stunning storylines, so fans will be eager to see what’s in store. Make CDL your hotspot for fantastic Young and the Restless spoilers, updates and news.
