"The cast, crew and staff of the daytime drama were just notified of the temporary shutdown in an email from Corday Productions, which produces in association with Sony Pictures TV," reports Deadline. "Taping is slated to resume October 26. The pause will not delay air dates, and the show’s run of originals on NBC will not be disrupted. The person who received a positive result as part of the production’s stringent testing protocol has been placed in isolation."
