EastEnders stars will be using plastic screens to get around social distancing.
The BBC soap resumed filming in June after production stopped in March due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Soaps such as Coronation Street and Emmerdale are adhering to social distancing rules. However it seems BBC has found a way to still film scenes involving kisses safely.
EastEnders: Kissing
According to The Mirror, BBC drama boss Piers Wenger said productions such as EastEnders are using “ingenious” ways to get around filming restrictions.
These methods include having actors kiss through a sheet of perspex, which will be taken out post-production.
Another thing bosses have admitted to doing is putting cast and crew members in “bubbles”.
When will EastEnders return?
EastEnders will return to screens Monday September 7. Instead of airing its usual 30-minute episodes, instalments are expected to now be 20 minutes long.
But despite episodes being shorter, it sounds like there’s plenty of drama to come.
Last week it was announced that British singer, actress and presenter Mica Paris will be joining the soap as new character Ellie Nixon.
Ellie is a wolf in sheep’s clothing, far more than her warm-hearted facade lets on.
