General Hospital, The Bold and the Beautiful, and Days of Our Lives have all altered their production schedules and/or events due to concerns over the Coronavirus. At press time, The Young and the Restless has not announced a production hiatus.
Soap Opera Life: Going Through Change
The soaps will continue to air and, in fact, the cancellation of the March Madness college basketball tournament means that BB and YR won’t be pre-empted for two days as they traditionally are around this time of year.
Some soap events have either been put on hold or rescheduled out of concern for the Coronavirus.
Steve Burton
Coastal Entertainment tweeted a video of Steve Burton (Jason, GH) letting his followers know that shows he was doing in Pennsylvania and in New Jersey on March 21 and 22 have been moved to September 26 and 27. Burton noted that he is not canceling the events, but rather rescheduling because “we’re still going to have fun!”
