The Bold and the Beautiful joined all four daytime dramas in a forced hiatus earlier this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. With no new episodes being made, B&B began airing classic episodes in April. The show was finally able to return to production on June 16, but just one day later, B&B pushed pause again to modify its testing protocol after what the producers described as "several false positives." Following a switch to a new lab, the CBS soap resumed production once again on June 24. Its first brand-new, mid-pandemic episode aired on Monday, July 20.
