Hollywood Studios, Producers & Guilds Send Plan To Gov. Newsom and Gov. Cuomo For COVID-19 Production Restart Guidelines
On Monday, the two states with the most television and film production in the United States (California and New York) received a plan from many Hollywood studios, producers and the entertainment and production guilds of a plan and outline to be able to rejigger and restart production of your favorite shows and films. This includes the soaps: General Hospital, The Young and the Restless, The Bold and the Beautiful and Days of our Lives.
Via Deadline: In an effort to get the industry moving-forward again where jobs were lost or put on hold, and production were completely stalled out-of-the-blue, the guidelines submitted by “The Industry-Wide Labor-Management Safety Committee Task Force (the “Task Force”) is asking for consideration and adoption for the resumption of motion picture, television, and streaming productions in an environment that minimizes the risk of contracting or spreading COVID-19,” says a report for Governors Gavin Newsom of California and Andrew Cuomo of New York.

You can read the details of the report here. While there has been no word from the Governors and their offices if they have seen the report, bets are that several more steps will be needed before anyone would head and report back to a set yet.
As one would expect, limiting contact, social distancing, regular temperature checks, ways to handle props, and a COVID-19 compliance officer for all productions are part of the proposal. As well as virtual writers room meetings, avoiding filming on-location as much as possible and filming in front of large audiences.
So, glad to know that this major step has been taken to try to get production back on track in Hollywood and New York? Comment below.

British Soap ‘Coronation Street’ Set To Resume Production Next Week Following COVID-19 Shutdown
Will American soaps soon follow the Brits, and be able to start up your favorite soap towns again? While production entities await for guidelines from the state of California and the city of Los Angeles, across the bond, ITV’s Coronation Street has set next Tuesday, June 9th to begin filming new episodes of the popular drama.
Coronation Street had been on 10-week mandatory shutdown due to the coronavirus pandemic sweeping our globe. The return to start up the show keeps the soap on-air throughout July and then ongoing. There will be three episodes filmed each week at their studios in Manchester.
Along with ITV’s Emmerdale, and other programs, Coronation Street is returning to production under the UK’s guidelines and safety protocols for COVID-19.
According to Deadline that will include: crew members designated to a specific studio or exterior lot … social distancing will be observed … cast and crew will have daily temperature checks, while older and more vulnerable members of the team won’t be part of the new episodes during the initial period of filming.
In a statement, John Whiston, ITV’s managing director of continuing drama, said: “Getting to this point has taken a huge amount of work and goodwill from a huge number of people, not least our cast and crew. With the peak past, all indications are that the time is right for a return to filming. And with the extensive protocols we have put in place, we have made our workplace as safe as possible. I’m sure our audience will appreciate having the show they love continue on air. For many who have written in it is a vital escape from all the fears and stresses this virus brings in its wake.”
So, do you the news on “Corrie” spells a brighter outlook for the American daytime dramas to begin production shortly in some capacity? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.

Yay Cutter shenanigans!
I think the reason why Josh Kelly (Cutter) is meeting so many music acts on set is because his character now manages Blair’s new nightclub Shelter, according to what Kassie DePaiva (Blair) tweeted to me on her twitter account!
Why would Blair hire Cutter to work at Shelter after his and Aubreys unforgivable plot against Joey and Blairs cousin Kelly?
Well, Blair was once a gold digger herself like Cutter was, so I guess she believes in giving people like him second chances in life!
Blair also hired Aubrey to work as a bartender at Capricorn, too!
I seem to forget Blair was never a saint herself…im usually more aware of stuff like that…thanks 4 the reply!
Blair hired Aubrey to work at Capricorn last year. And their plot wasn’t so much against Kelly as it was against the Bukes. And Blair’s no saint herself, she’s not the type to judge others.
I 4got Aubrey worked at Capicorn, and i just finished rewatching OLTLs final year on tape not too long ago. Thanks 4 the reply!
Well, considering that Prospect Parks business is promoting/producing music/rock stars, and is in with UMA I can see that there will be good talent/singers/rock stars, on both soaps..
PP will get money off the downloading of the tunes and the promoting of the Rockers on showcasing them on the soaps..
That was their plan the first time around..
OLTL is going to be unreal with these great changes!
Do we need male model Josh Kelly on the show at all???
He makes fellow male model David A. Gregory (ex-Robert) look like Sir Laurence Olivier in the acting department.
soaps should never ever lack for male models.
I can watch my Corbin Fisher and Randy Blue DVDs for that kind of gratification, though.
I want strong, compelling actors on my soaps. Not brain dead himbos.
I do not have Facebook so my kids and their friends are keeping us vet:-) viewers up to date on the musical talents and us vets keep them informed on the history of the show:-). Win-win because all are excited and the kids are getting others kids to watch which is good because I just want my beloved OLTL to be successful so bring on the musical talent but keep it balanced for a true win- win. 4-29-13….I have saved the date.
Riff Raff’s characters last name is Franko he works in the art world, and he may be on the shady side. Hmm, sounds awfully familiar.
It is perfect time to make some plans for the future and it’s time to be happy. I have read this put up and if I may I wish to suggest you some attention-grabbing things or advice. Perhaps you can write next articles relating to this article. I want to read even more issues about it!
