4 soaps socially distancing

With only 4 daytime soaps left on the air, the social distancing is obvious. So how are the viewers feeling about it?  Let’s look at if it would be better to write the virus into the shows.  The lunch crew at The Daily Banner find the obvious social distancing very distracting.  Read on for more about Social Distancing on the soaps.

Young and Restless

There have been a few love scenes (Devon & Elena) on Young and Restless.  One has to imagine that they were both tested for Covid-19 and quarantined.  We know that when Elena went away with Nate, we didn’t see them in that bed together, not once. We also don’t see the characters of Devon and Amanda physically together.

The writers let us believe they have been together but we haven’t seen them physical on camera.  We can say the same thing about Sharon & Rey.  They are newlyweds yet they do all their scenes from across the room from one another.  The last two days Rey had fallen deathly ill and Sharon didn’t even sit next to him on the couch.

For the lunch crew it makes it hard to watch.  It is so unrealistic. We got to witness the character of Sharon & Adam share what was supposed to be a passionate kiss. Does this mean they are a couple in real life?  We can see this as a way or working for the show and characters if these on screen couples are real life couples and have been quarantining together.

We also don’t see Billy & Lilly kiss, touch, cuddle or hug but we are to imagine it in most of their scenes.

Bold & Beautiful

This soap is probably the most obvious of the offenders of phony love scenes and the edit cuts are bad.  So this week we got to see Steffi and Finn finally find out they are having THEIR baby.  Yet, all their discussions are from across the room.  When they do a kissing scene you can absolutely tell it is not the actors they are kissing.  Makes you almost wish for the scenes with Thomas & his mannequin. It feels about the same.

General Hospital

They are certainly keep a safe distance at General Hospital. However, honestly where better to bring this virus into the life of Port Charles residents.  This would have been a great place to teach viewers safe practices and protocols for being safe.

Days of our Lives

We have gotten to see a few of the couples who were couples before the pandemic continue to be able to be near each other. They are also younger people so being on set is not as dangerous. Again, this is a soap that features doctors, nurses and the hospital.  Another perfect opportunity to teach is being squandered.

In conclusion

Social distancing on the soaps

Look, we understand that watching the soaps is an escape. However, we are not escaping reality when we are watching our shows in such a social distancing format.  They might as well do the storyline of the virus now that the vaccines are being circulated and maybe, just maybe it will help naysayers get the vaccine and save their lives and the lives of others.
