Soap Operas Are Using Actors’ Real Spouses for Kissing Scenes

In the age of COVID-19, soap operas known for their steamy romantic scenes have had to get creative to keep the stories going on camera while taking adequate precautions for the actors. Intimate scenes have proved difficult to shoot. At “The Bold and The Beautiful,” actors have to stay at least six feet apart, even during scenes - which has led to some standins who don’t do much more than stand: mannequins! With the sparks not flying, actors’ real spouses were brought in for kissing scenes. #InsideEdition

The “person” in the hospital bed you could tell was fake

[Sam-kysu]

When was the last time they made a film or a soap opera without a kissing scene??

[Frenite]

But what if the actor’s spouse looks different than the person they’re supposed to kiss?

[TheConorsmithusa]

This is weird especially the mannequin scene

[calmgoodfire]

0:50 I like how she just eyes like a hawk and is just waiting for him to say the wrong words

[celina]

Do people even watch Soap Operas? I feel like those shows never end and most people aren't gonna watch something that has no end.

It's a *soap* opera, it's all clean!

[bubgum]

Ok. Those kissing scenes looked lifeless.

[Frenite]

Who really likes to watch soap operas anyways?

[Jaheartsjonas]

0:26 Wait did you guys initially use the footage of the character kissing the mannequin to describe him kissing his spouse? That scene went viral for that reason, bad editing inside edition lol

[lauranolastnamegiven]

but isn't the fun of being an actor, being able to be married, but also get to kiss a lot of other people?!

[BizkayneBatman]

wow i wonder if someone wife complained and sued the studio companies for spousal abuse. this is crazy.

[yesyes-ompo]

LOL THE QUESTION "how difficult was it to kiss your wife"

[JoaquinLomeliJr]

*THAT MANNEQUIN LOOKED SO FAKE IN THE HOSPITAL*
Its facing the camera and you can totally see its not an actual person lol 😆

[paulinejosefien]

Kirk Cameron already came with this idea.

[whatamisupposedtoputhere]

If I was on that set no one would be able to kiss me because I don’t have a spouse 😭

[lerato]
