I know I mentioned it in a response a few days ago, but does anyone else notice how far the actors stand from each other? (I don't watch B&B, so didn't comment there). Adam, all angry at Billy, walks in the room furiously, and keeps standing six feet
away? Hardly believable!
On a more subtle note, which I actually noticed earlier, does anyone notice a...well, I can only call it a slower style of acting? I noticed it first with Chelsea and Phyllis, but most have now adopted the style. Maybe cutting down the need for too much
talking?
Oh...for the days when covid will be under control!
It doesn't really bother me because I understand why they have to do
it this way. It's better than no soaps, and it supports a lot of jobs
for the actors, production crew, makeup and hair artists, etc. But
like you, I'll be glad when they can get back to normal.
I live in Massachusetts and am an avid, lifelong Boston Red Sox
baseball fan. That has been even weirder. The regular baseball
season just ended and was shortened from 120 to 60 games with some
strange changes. They had cardboard cutouts of fans in the stands to
make it look like there were people, and piped-in background crowd
noise in the stadiums to try to give it the "feel" of games in front
of fans. And strangely, once I got used to it, it worked. I found
myself engrossed in the games themselves and got used to the fake fans
and fake sounds which kind of faded into the back of my mind.
It's been pretty much the same with the soaps' social distancing and
other staging changes. In fact, I think they're doing a pretty good
job of making it work considering the obstacles of shows that are
based on romance with almost no closeness allowed.
