Meeting in the fashion closet next month: The Bold Type will return for its fifth and final season on Wednesday, May 26 at 10/9c, Freeform announced on Thursday.

The fashion-magazine drama’s six-episode swan song finds Jane, Kat and Sutton “on the brink of defining who they really are and how best to leave their mark on the world,” per the official synopsis. “Their futures are bright, and their love and support for each other will never change.” Check out a first-look photo from the final season above.

As previously announced, Nikohl Boosheri will reprise her role as Kat’s ex-girlfriend Adena for multiple episodes later in the season. And in fresh news, the season opener will feature guest star Carson Kressley (Queer Eye for the Straight Guy) as himself.

Season 4 wrapped up on July 16, 2020, two episodes short of its 18-episode order as a result of the coronavirus production shutdown. In the defacto season finale, Sutton ventured home for comfort after her husband Richard left her, but instead found several bottles of booze in her alcoholic mother’s fridge. Then while drunkenly drowning her sorrows, Sutton hooked up with her married ex-boyfriend. Elsewhere, Kat texted Eva that things between them were too complicated to continue, while Jane challenged Jacqueline’s decision to squash an inappropriate workplace story.

Looking ahead at Season 5, showrunner Wendy Straker Hauser previously told TVLine, “I feel like The Bold Type always comments on what’s going on in the world, and we don’t shy away from uncomfortable conversations. There’s a real opportunity for The Bold Type to dig deeper and to explore more stories with more women of color and various backgrounds, and to really challenge what conversations are being had today. [That’s] something really interesting that if we’re so lucky to explore, we would really go there.” (For more scoop on what’s in store, check out our finale post mortem with Hauser.)

The Bold Type fans, hit the comments with your hopes for the final season!

Like the print magazine at the center of the series, might The Bold Type be saying goodbye to its fans?

The Freeform drama, which wrapped up its coronavirus-shortened fourth season on July 16, still has yet to be renewed by the network. Despite that uncertainty, showrunner Wendy Straker Hauser is “optimistic” about the show’s future, she tells TVLine.

“I feel like The Bold Type always comments on what’s going on in the world, and we don’t shy away from uncomfortable conversations,” Hauser says. “There’s a real opportunity for The Bold Type to dig deeper and to explore more stories with more women of color and various backgrounds, and to really challenge what conversations are being had today. [That’s] something really interesting that if we’re so lucky to explore, we would really go there. So I feel optimistic that everyone recognizes that we have a great show and a great opportunity to do that.” (For scoop on what a potential Season 5 might hold for Sutton, Kat and Jane, check out TVLine’s finale post mortem Q&A.)

One day prior to the Season 4 finale, star Aisha Dee called out the show’s lack of racial representation behind the scenes, noting how few Black, Indigenous or people of color there are in the writers’ room and various other departments. Dee also described her character Kat’s romance with the conservative Republican Eva as “confusing and out of character.”

“Over the last few weeks, I’ve had conversations with the writers and producers, as well as the executives at Freeform and [production studio] Universal TV,” Dee wrote in a lengthy Instagram post. “I’m hopeful we will have the opportunity to tell more authentic stories by hiring, promoting, and listening to diverse voices across the entire production of The Bold Type and beyond. This is an opportunity to walk the walk, to really practice the things The Bold Type teaches, by acknowledging mistakes and making commitments to be better in the future.”

Warning: The following contains spoilers for Thursday’s The Bold Type finale. Proceed at your own risk!

Oh, Sutton Brady (Hunter?), you’re breaking our hearts. On Thursday’s The Bold Type Season 4 finale, the stylist ventured home for comfort, but instead found several bottles of booze in her alcoholic mother’s fridge. Then while drunkenly drowning her own sorrows, Sutton hooked up with her married high school sweetheart. But shockingly, showrunner Wendy Straker Hauser isn’t ruling out a reconciliation between Sutton and her estranged husband Richard in the following Q&A.

Elsewhere, Jane was not a fan of Kat’s flirtation with the “toxic” Eva. Kat eventually texted Eva that things between them were too complicated to continue. Jane also challenged Jacqueline’s decision to squash an inappropriate workplace story after it was revealed to have ties to a woman whom Jacqueline’s husband dated during their separation.

Below, Hauser talks about Sutton’s destructive ways and the status of her marriage, as well as Kat’s confusing feelings for Eva and Jane’s chemistry with her writer Scott.

TVLINE | I was kind of surprised that there were two more episodes that were supposed to come after this one, because this episode actually worked very well as an unexpected finale. Did you make any changes to it to help it better function as a season finale?
We did. We didn’t reshoot anything. We just sort of reordered a few things. It’s hard to get specific about it, but we did whatever we could just try to make a finale out of it and heighten certain situations. But it was a very jam-packed episode to begin with. Our journey was not finished. So we left it on a big bang, that’s for sure.

TVLINE | When I talked to Katie Stevens, she was raving about those final two episodes that you didn’t get to finish. What can you say about what was in store and how those episodes or storylines might be incorporated into a fifth season, if you get renewed?
For Katie, specifically, we had left off in Episode 15 [with] Scott [admitting] that he had feelings for her, and there was that complication of, “What do you do when you connect with someone you work with, genuinely, but you’re also in a position of authority?” and it’s a new job for her. So we were going to see that [play] out more. Her arc got cut short in that way. At the same time, she was gaining more traction with Scarlet, and Jacqueline letting her know that she’s the future of Scarlet. So those were interesting things that she was going to juggle. We’ll still explore those things.

It’s amazing when you have an opportunity to stop, especially in television, when production’s moving so fast. I love so much of [Episodes] 17 and 18, but at the same time, I’m really excited about some things that weren’t shot, because we have an opportunity to tell even better stories. We just had a breath to sort of look at some things. So while some things will remain, other things will change. But our characters were going to go through more twists and turns before they made their final decisions.

The Bold Type RecapTVLINE | To echo something Sutton was wondering, are she and Richard over? How permanent of a breakup was it when he left the apartment?
I feel that Richard and Sutton have much more to explore. They both need to explore themselves first, though. They’ve been such an amazing, supportive couple, and Richard has been very accommodating in the past. Sometimes, there were probably things that were unsaid that we didn’t even realize were unsaid, which is what [Episode] 15 is about. It’s just sort of bringing up things that we all didn’t realize that probably bothered each one of them a little bit, but weren’t a big deal. But then when you come to this very clear impasse, where one of them wants kids and one doesn’t, and there’s a reminder that there’s a 20-year age difference, there are some real big issues to work through, if this couple makes it. We love Sutton and Richard. They haven’t hit real, huge roadblocks before. I’m hopeful that they’ll get to know themselves better, and we’ll see. I certainly don’t think the door is closed forever. But we’ll all discuss it in Season 5, if we get one.

TVLINE | Were there plans to see him in the final two unfinished episodes?
There were not.

TVLINE | You speak very hopefully about Sutton and Richard, possibly, finding a way to work things out in the future. How might Sutton sleeping with her ex-boyfriend play into that?
The real answer is I’m not really sure. She has a real journey to go through right now, and we’re excited to focus on that, first and foremost, and then see how her journey and where she lands leads to what her future is, whether it’s with Richard or not with Richard. I feel like your early twenties are about these big milestones and these sort of triumphant moments and a lot of new scenarios, and it’s exciting and scary. And then in your late twenties, some of your childhood issues or hang-ups or struggles come into play, and that’s happening with Sutton. She has an interesting relationship with her mother. The thought of becoming a mother has brought up some issues for her. She’s incredibly career-focused and in a great place right now, and she’s had a very visceral reaction to discovering that she really doesn’t want children, and she’s sort of unpacking what that means for her. There are a lot of emotions for her around that.

Right now, she’s just being a 26-year-old girl who has lost the love of her life for right now, who had everything, and very quickly, things have changed after discovering some huge differences, and she’s processing. She does what a lot of people do when they’re lost: They go home. She wanted to return to her mom. She wanted to go home, and when she went home, she sought comfort in an ex-boyfriend who always looked at her as this amazing Sutton Brady, who he would be lucky to spend some time with. She allowed herself to just give in in that moment, because she was feeling a lot of pain and because there was some comfort in home.

TVLINE | Home is also a place that’s filled with a family history of alcoholism, and Sutton has been known to enjoy a drink for fun. But now she’s using it to drown her pain. How concerned should we be that she’s following in her mother’s footsteps at the end of this episode?
She’s going to be challenged. She’s going to be a little destructive before she gets back on her feet. She’s feeling some shame, and she’s feeling some confusion. She feels a lot of loss, and I also think she’s disappointed in her own mom… There’s this feeling of, “Am I my mother? Was my beautiful, amazing, perfect life a fantasy? Am I really not worthy?” So there’s a little bit of self-sabotage that can happen, and it’ll be interesting to explore, and I think her friends will be there for her no matter what and, hopefully, help her through the process.

The Bold TypeTVLINE | Moving on to Kat, how much of what Jane said to her is weighing on her decision not to pursue something romantic with Eva?
Kat is also processing her feelings. When we started breaking the story, we talked about Kat enjoying the debate. Eva and Kat butt heads. They challenge each other. They have a sort of spark that comes from being on opposite sides [of] the debate. They also have a respect for each other. But I also think Kat’s confused by that. Jane’s words do ring true. But more than Jane’s words, it’s been sort of an inner conflict for Kat, as well. She didn’t expect to call out Eva’s name with Marissa. She was caught up in the debating and the sparring on the podcast, and sort of conflated that in the moment. She feels conflicted about having some feelings of attraction with someone who has some differing views than her.

TVLINE | We have seen in the past that Kat does like a challenge, and she’s always very eager to take one on.
Yes, that’s true.

TVLINE | Is that part of the attraction with Eva? Like, “Can I conquer this difference of opinion?”
I think so. Had we had more episodes, we would have seen that certainly come to fruition more. Our hope was that we could bring both sides together, learning from each other, and also have Eva come to realize some areas where she may have been wrong or not thought something through quite the way that she does when she sees it through Kat’s eyes. It was a challenge for Kat, and had we had more time, we would have seen that challenge pay off.

The Bold Type RecapTVLINE | Jane has always kind of put Jacqueline on a pedestal, but with this episode, is it the beginning of Jane starting to see her mentor in a new light and challenging her more?
I think that Jacqueline is being honest with Jane and vulnerable with Jane, and Jane truly believes that the story comes first and is reminding Jacqueline of things that she’s taught her in the past. They’re a little bit more on equal footing, where they’re just both being honest with each other. I don’t think that Jane is looking at Jacqueline any less so for being concerned about how a story might affect her private life. She recognizes it, but also is challenging her to remember what she taught Jane to begin with: It’s about the story. And Jane is confident that that she has the story, and that it’s not going to come back and affect Jacqueline’s personal life. And even if it does, if they’re helping that woman, then they can handle it together.

With another week of TV gone by, we’re lobbing queries left and right about shows including The Baby-Sitters Club, Yellowstone, Blindspot and The Bold Type!

The Baby-Sitters Club Claudia1 | Did The Baby-Sitters Club‘s super chic, 12-year-old Claudia make you feel like you need to step up your fashion and makeup game?

2 | In Unsolved Mysteries‘ fourth episode, “No Ride Home,” why did producers only interview Alonzo Brooks’ core group of friends considering none of them were present at the party when he disappeared? Wouldn’t the dozens of other attendees have more intel on what transpired right before he vanished? And if every single one of them declined to be interviewed, why not communicate this to viewers via a chyron?

3 | What are the odds that RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars‘ Alexis Mateo would portray Walter Mercado just five days before a new documentary about the eccentric TV psychic hit Netflix?

4 | We understand why A Capitol Fourth host John Stamos had to be six feet from interview subjects during the frontline heroes tribute, but couldn’t PBS have sprung for some sort of backdrop? (It looked like they were seated in John Oliver’s white void!)

5 | How many more weeks will Yellowstone go before it has Jennifer Landon lighten up on Teeter’s accent or give the character subtitles?

6 | What was the most unsettling reveal of I’ll Be Gone in the Dark‘s second episode? The East Area Rapist’s affinity for terror, the trauma his survivors still experience decades later, or the fact that he was also a murderer? (And do you allow yourself to watch this show before bed??)

7 | How awful — and awfully believable — was it that I May Destroy You‘s Biagio blamed Arabella for her own rape?

Snowpiercer8 | To echo many a Snowpiercer fan: Would Ruth, the Folgers et al really want to execute the one person who has been managing the 1,001-car train so well for seven years?

9 | Did no one on DC’s Stargirl this week act especially smart? Like, what was Beth thinking, entering the strange tunnels with glitchy comms? What was Pat’s plan if Cindy spotted Courtney’s dad at her house? Also, for those who watch via DC Universe: With Season 2 being exclusive to The CW, how much will you miss the weekly opening needle drop playing over the animated montage of DC heroes?

10 | Who over at Netflix allowed John Mulaney to take the Sack Lunch Bunch over to Comedy Central?

11 | Does Dirty John‘s Amanda Peet currently hold the record for Most Tears Shed on TV in 2020?Stateless

12 | Is Stateless‘ Harriett one of the year’s most deplorable TV characters?

13 | Getting Jane Lynch to host NBC’s Weakest Link reboot is kinda genius, isn’t it? Can’t you already hear her saying, “You are the weakest link. Good-bye”?

14 | Couldn’t Shepard Smith have picked a slightly more exciting title for his forthcoming CNBC show, instead of just The News?

15 | Do you think The Challenge‘s Johnny Bananas and Kyle were going to keep their word to Kaycee about not voting Fessy into elimination? And what did you think about Nelson’s ultimate sacrifice?

Agents of SHIELD 1x0716 | So, trying to understand Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.‘s 1982 geography…. Mack grew up in Austin, Texas, and seemed to be holed up near-ish his uncle’s home. But his uncle had Illinois license plates? And The Deke Squad was playing at a nearby club… that was also close enough to the Lighthouse (in Upstate New York) that they tricked it out? Also, how much cash did Mack happen to have on him at the time of his stranding that kept him in motorcycle gas, model cars and cheap beer for nearly two years? Lastly, how did the Zephyr travel back in time, seeing as Jemma told us earlier in the season that doing so requires power the ship doesn’t have to spare?

17 | Who’s going to give Billy Eichner his own late-night talk show after that stellar turn as Jimmy Kimmel Live guest host?

18 | Rough week for Riverdale-adjacent shows, eh? (And a rougher two weeks for Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, who also shepherded ABC’s passed-over Brides pilot?)

The Crown Lucifer19 | At what point do we stop believing Netflix when they announce a series’ final season?

20 | In Legendary‘s semifinals, were you surprised by how vehemently Tamar Braxton fought back when Gucci accused her of asking Leiomy which house to vote for?

21 | After Blindspot‘s second episode on Thursday, how badly do you want a spinoff about the hacking antics of Patterson, Rich, Boston and Kathy Gustafson?

22 | Why was Labor of Love‘s Kristy acting like Kyle’s small bachelor pad was some kind of huge red flag regarding fatherhood? Don’t most people live in a smaller place before they start a family than they do after?

The Bold Type23 | Is The Bold Type trying to destroy us this season, with Jane’s emotional post-mastectomy storyline and Sutton and Richard’s marriage tribulations? (We don’t know how much more angst we can take!)

RELATED STORIES

Thursday brings us another new episode of The Bold Type, so you know what that means: Sutton and Richard are out to destroy us again, as if the last two installments haven’t already left us emotionally spent.

This week’s hour is told through five acts/love stories, with the married couple representing “unconditional love” — but there are some things that even their love can’t overcome. After revealing to Richard that she doesn’t want to ever have kids, Sutton and her husband have a long overdue conversation-turned-argument.

“All we do is talk about your job, what you want, what you need,” Richard claims, adding, “You get everything you want, Sutton. I’m just along for the ride.”

“You’re being an ass,” Sutton fires back.

Richard argues that he’s always the one making compromises in their relationship. “I knew it on our wedding night. I knew that I was going to be the one who would always be adjusting,” he says. “I loved you so much, I was OK with it.”

The Bold Type RecapSutton notes that she, too, made adjustments, moving in before she was ready to and buying him that ticket to California because she wanted to support him, even though it meant they’d have a long-distance relationship. And when he proposed, she said “yes,” even though it was fast. Plus, why isn’t she allowed to put her career first, just like he did at 26?

But it’s bigger than that. “This is a life decision that you made on your own, without me, about my life!” Richard exclaims.

Sutton apologizes and says she doesn’t want to take away his chance at being a father, but if they have a kid and she doesn’t want to raise it, what then? He suggests that they could get a nanny, and that he would do all the heavy lifting. Sutton thinks that would make her a terrible mother.

“So either way, one of us loses. I’m just so sick of it being me,” Richard says, walking away.

The next day, Richard turns to Jacqueline for advice, confessing that he’s always wanted to do better than his own parents. Now he has to decide what he wants more: Sutton or kids. Meanwhile, Sutton rushes home with the hope that Richard will be waiting for her — and he is! They both apologize before making love, but it turns out that it was goodbye sex. A tearful Sutton calls Jane and Kat, and says that she needs them because Richard left her. We still have an episode to go (as well as two unfilmed episodes), so who knows what will happen, but that sure felt like a permanent split, no?

As for the episode’s other love stories:

The Bold Type RecapFIRST LOVE | Dan Humphrey’s doppelgänger, Scott, brings a potential story to Jane about his female friend who was fired from an investment firm for being too attractive. While working together on the piece, they chat about their first loves (writing, duh!), and Scott admits that while he doesn’t think what the company did was right, he understands how it could be difficult to work with someone you’re attracted to. Jane asks if he’s implying what she thinks he is, and he simply replies, “Yes,” as a call from Sutton interrupts them.

FORBIDDEN LOVE | Kat asks Ava if she said she was a lesbian during the podcast to throw Kat off her game. But Kat wouldn’t even have a podcast without Ava, so she visits the redhead’s home to thank her and encourage her to use her platform to help the queer community. The latter part upsets Ava, who insists that she does do a lot to help, and as the two are arguing, Kat suddenly kisses Ava. “This makes no sense,” Kat says, and Ava agrees, before going in for another smooch.

COMPLICATED LOVE | Alex takes Alicia to see Andrew’s drag show, where another guest starts to hit on Alicia and refuses to go away. Alex isn’t sure if his independent girlfriend wants him to get physical, so he suggests they just move seats. Andrew, meanwhile, starts to whack the other guy with his purse. Alicia admits that she was scared and might have wanted Alex to do something. Since their relationship is new, and they’re still figuring each other out, it’s complicated for both of them.

REKINDLED LOVE | Jacqueline and Ian continue to work on their marriage by partaking in a shared hobby (tennis, in this case). After Jacqueline refuses to take her husband’s advice on her form, among other things, he says that he doesn’t feel heard by her, just as she didn’t feel seen by him. She later admits that she doesn’t like to give up control or be wrong, but she’s going to work on it. She then declares that they’re finally going to take that trip to Iceland they’ve been talking about for 10 years.

The first U.S. TV show to resume production after the industry-wide coronavirus shutdown is hitting pause again.

The Bold and the Beautiful has stopped production after just one day back at work to expand its coronavirus testing, according to our sister site Variety. The CBS daytime soap now aims to return to shooting next Tuesday, June 23.

“We have paused very briefly to modify our testing protocol to better accommodate the large volume of testing needed,” producers Bell-Phillip Television said in a statement. “Safety remains our top priority as we continue to move forward with the production of The Bold and the Beautiful. B&B filmed with cast and crew today, and it was a successful first day back at work.”

The soap was the first scripted series to get back to work here in the U.S. following a three-month shutdown due to the global coronavirus pandemic, which has claimed nearly 120,000 American lives so far. “The health and safety of our cast and crew are of foremost importance to us,” a B&B rep told TVLine at the time. “We will be following all protocols set forth by the State, City, Television City, and the various guilds.”

Before the pause, new episodes of The Bold and the Beautiful were expected to start airing on CBS next month. The long-running soap ran out of new episodes in April and has been running reruns ever since. CBS renewed the series in May for two more years, through the 2021-22 TV season.

The Bold and the Beautiful will resume physical production this Wednesday (June 17), TVLine has confirmed. The CBS soap will be the first scripted series on U.S. soil to get back up and running following Hollywood’s three-month, coronavirus-imposed shutdown.

“The health and safety of our cast and crew are of foremost importance to us,” a B&B rep tells TVLine. “We will be following all protocols set forth by the State, City, Television City, and the various guilds.”

It remains unclear when exactly new episodes of B&B will resume airing on CBS, but sources say it could be as early as July.

Last week, L.A. County issued its “Reopening Protocol for Music, Television and Film Production,” laying out policies designed to protect employee health and measures to ensure physical distancing. Among the new safety measures: All cast and crew are required to wear cloth face coverings whenever they are in contact with others, unless — as in the case with actors — the production activity does not allow for the wearing of a face covering.

Due to the COVID-19 production shutdown, both B&B and fellow CBS sudser Y&R ran out of new episodes in April. CBS has been filling the void with theme weeks of reruns from both shows.

Last month, CBS officially confirmed that B&B had been renewed for two more years, through the 2021-22 TV season.

The theme of Thursday’s The Bold Type Season 4B premiere: boobs.

The episode begins with a montage of Sutton and Kat bringing Jane home after her double mastectomy. They tend to her as loving friends, while Jane struggles to even lift her arm. Her ex Ryan texts to let her know he’s thinking about her and to check up on her. “Doing well. Thx,” Jane curtly replies. As time passes, Jane’s recovery exercises get easier, and she finally smiles. But she’s still not feeling comfortable in her own skin. Showing off her new boobs to her pals, Jane sighs, “They just don’t seem like me. I miss my old ones.” She asks Kat and Sutton to break the seal on them and feel them up, a moment on which Alex walks in, but it doesn’t even faze him, having seen a lot in the apartment over the last three months.

The Bold Type RecapFinally feeling better, Jane is eager to get back to work, where she’s now the head of her own vertical, The Failing Feminist. Jacqueline informs her that she needs to hire a team before the vertical launches at the end of the week. (I’m just going to ignore that ridiculous timetable.) Jane immediately sets her sights on two columnists — Gen Z-er Addison and a male writer named Scott — but Jane is so off her game that she kind of messes up the interviews. She thinks Scott is staring at her breasts, when he’s actually noticing that she has food on her top. Then she lets Addison believe she’s a part of the exclusive women’s club The Belle to impress her. (Jane, they’re supposed to be trying to impress you.)

Kat takes matters into her own hands and calls The Belle, pretending to be Jane’s assistant to secure her an interview with the membership department — and it works! Jane almost blows this interview, too, until she starts to open up about her mastectomy. “I don’t feel like me,” she confesses. The Belle rep responds that what they like about her is that no matter how she looks or feels, even when she’s wearing plaid and glasses in her Insight video, she’s always herself. And that gets her into The Belle!

The Bold Type RecapMeanwhile, newly minted stylist Sutton is dressing child actress Mara. She promises the teen a sophisticated look, but learns at the showroom that Mara stole a bunch of clothes at a previous photo shoot, so the fancy duds are off-limits. Sutton has her assistant stick to Mara’s side to make sure she doesn’t take anything. Mara later explains to Sutton that she found out her mom was stealing from her that day, so she was angry and wanted to steal something. She gave all the clothes back, but the damage was done. Sutton apologizes for judging her, and after a pep talk from Richard, she decides to do right by Mara. She puts her name on the line at the showroom, vowing to take full responsibility if any clothes go missing, and sets up an impromptu photo shoot at The Belle, where Sutton unexpectedly throws up into a planter. At home, she tells Richard that she’s been exhausted and nauseous lately. Oh, and her boobs kind of hurt. (See, this episode is all about the boobs.) Then it dawns on her: Her period is late! “I think I’m pregnant,” she announces.

The Bold Type RecapElsewhere, Kat is spending her time protesting for causes (and hooking up with another female protester) after being fired from Scarlet. Her parents plan to rent out her place if she doesn’t get a job that will pay the mortgage, so Kat interviews at a couch start-up company, and even gets offered a signing bonus. But the contract requires that Kat not make any political statements on her personal social media, which doesn’t sit right with her, so she turns down the gig. Sutton mentions that The Belle is hiring bartenders, and Kat looks like she’s seriously considering it. As for where she’s going to live, well, Alex just announced he’s moving out of Jane’s place now that the mold in his apartment is gone. Kat mentions that it was fixed two months ago, which causes Jane to realize Alex stayed to take care of her. She gives him basketball tickets as a thank-you for being such a good friend.

RELATED STORIES

Meeting in the fashion closet this summer! The Bold Type will resume with the back half of Season 4 on Thursday, June 11 at 10/9c, Freeform announced on Tuesday.

In the upcoming episodes, “Jane struggles to come to terms with her new body” following her double mastectomy, while also managing her new responsibilities at Scarlet, per the official synopsis. Elsewhere, “Sutton revels in her new roles as Mrs. Hunter and stylist, but then receives shocking news which upends her world,” while “Kat tries to find a new direction in her life” after being fired from the magazine. 

For Jane, “you’re definitely going to see her have to figure out how to love the skin that she’s in,” her portrayer Katie Stevens previously told TVLine. “Having something that’s a part of you taken away for preventative measures, obviously, is something really powerful. But with the reconstruction, we’re gonna see her kind of battle, ‘How do I accept myself? And how do I face this new reality? Are people looking at me differently? Do people know?’ I think that it’s gonna be kind of a struggle for her, and we’re going to see that all happening while she’s stepping into another new reality of having her own vertical [at Scarlet]. So things are gonna be a little complicated for Jane in the back half of the season, but I’m excited for everyone to see it.”

Additionally, Melora Hardin, who plays Scarlet boss Jacqueline, will make her episodic television directing debut with the second episode of Season 4B.

It’s as if the residents of Salem have been preparing for a global pandemic all along.

As the coronavirus crisis brings television production to a halt, Days of Our Lives, which just months ago was dodging cancellation buzz, is in perhaps the best position of any TV series to weather the not-so-secret storm. The venerable NBC sudser — which has suspended production indefinitely — shoots a staggering eight months in advance. As a result, the soap has enough original episodes banked to last well until fall.

Daytime’s other three soaps, CBS’ The Young and the Restless and The Bold and the Beautiful and ABC’s General Hospital have considerably less of a cushion. According to sources, Y&R and B&B were four to six weeks ahead when production was suspended this week, which means their respective wells will run dry in early May. GH, meanwhile, had roughly a month’s worth of episodes banked when production was shut down, which takes the soap through the end of April.

The four daytime serials have not set a specific timetable for a resumption of production, although CBS will reportedly reevaluate Y&R and B&B‘s taping status in two weeks.

Can soaps that are consumed on the daily sustain a prolonged outage? That question was first put to the test in 1995, when the months-long, live, daytime coverage of the O.J. Simpson trial pushed sudsers — back then, ABC, CBS and NBC each were home to multiple — off the air and eventually out of many viewers’ mindsets.
