B&B First week back July 20 - 24, 2020

This past week "The Bold and the Beautiful" aired their first episodes since the shut down. Below are some thoughts. 

The first was a recap with flashbacks in visible social distancing. Tuesday and Wednesday were filmed prior to the shut down. With Thursday and Friday being done since changes needed to be made due to CDC guidelines. 

The first episode had characters visiting Carter in his office explaining what had recently happened. Katie spoke about what happened between her husband Bill and Brooke and everyone finding out they shared a kiss. From Zoey he found out about her non-wedding to Thomas though Carter was the officiant so he should have known what went down. They teased Zoey and Carter also. Later Katie returned and they discussed Sally and her health. 

Since Tuesday and Wednesday were from prior to shutdown they were regular episodes so nothing to report as it seemed like they did not change story for the situation. 

Thursday and Friday had more of Flo being held hostage held on to by an old school heater. Penny, Flo and Sally distanced from each other etc. Brooke went to see Ridge in his office too. So the desks were a good distance barrier. Zoey and Ridge also made an inference about Black Lives Matter without mentioning it by name just that Hope and Zoey were working together about a social issue related to Zoey's experiences.

There were no large groups scenes in any episode other than in flashback.

Steffy was in the hospital after Bill hit her with his car. This Accident was taped outside And she was riding her motorcycle. Most of the material with Bill was alone or at a distance including talking to the doctor and when Ridge arrived to get news about his daughter.

The most interesting part was how they handled Sally trying to seduce Wyatt at a distance and Wyatt rescuing Flo. Sally was a few feet away taking off her clothes, and in the mirror Wyatt saw that it said "Help Me Flo", and Sally was caught. They didn't kiss or touch. When Wyatt found Flo, we saw angles, but not any real kissing. It didn't look like they were using any sort of mannequin.
