[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 242027, member: 27"] He hasn't used a lot of extras for many years. They've essentially eliminated the Artesian Hotel as a center of action, which was where they often had crowd scenes in the bar. They even seemed to eliminate the "three R" characters who worked there (Rocky, Roderick, and RK). But that was not necessarily in response to Covid-19; they switch centers of action relatively often. Now they all seem to end up at the hospital, the jailhouse, or that seedy dive bar the Malones run...but rarely do we see it busy in any of those places. Which means we won't see much difference when they film during the Covid situation. The biggest change I see in the current season (which is soon to end) is how so few characters are "out and about". I mentioned earlier how Katheryn and Jim are stuck on one set each, but Veronica has barely left her house (nice as it might be) and David only seems to leave his house to be Jim's lackey (and to get away from that nymphomaniac girl who was stripping in his fountain). There was this story in the news a while back of TP setting up a filming 'bubble' at his enormous studios, which would be easier since the studios used to be an Army base. From stories I've read, there are fully-functioning residential facilities (apartments, townhouses, etc.) on the lot, allowing the actors involved in productions to live in "real" homes (as opposed to hotel rooms) while in the quarantine filming situation. That would certainly make it a nicer situation if they're only there for a month or so. [/QUOTE]
