The continuation of the soap opera within the soap opera…
It has become a tradition in the world of soaps, every year, fans tremble about the French dubbing of their favorite series. It must be said that they have good reasons to be vigilant: last summer TF1 waited until the last minute before renewing the contract for The Young and the Restless and this fall, in Switzerland, all the voices of The Bold and the Beautiful / Top Models changed overnight, TF1 having found a new cheaper provider. The result was so catastrophic that the channel had to return to the historical provider, to resume the dubbing of the upcoming episodes and above all, re-record all the episodes ruined by the new team. avant their broadcast on RTL9 or TF1. According to our information, the dubbing would be renewed for one year more.
As for The Young and the Restless, Soap-Passion can announce that the dubbing has been renewed for one more year. There will therefore be no immediate interruption of the series in France or Belgium. This good news comes a few months after the announcement of the renewal of The Young and the Restless (“The Young and The Restless” in the original version) for four more years in the USA!
At a time when French voice actors are mobilizing to defend their profession, this renewal is also excellent news for them. The French voices working on The Young and the Restless or The Bold and the Beautiful / Top Models are not interchangeable, the spectators have been used to them for so long. It is already a problem when the French voice of a character changes and it takes some time for the public to get used to it. Changing all the voices overnight was a very risky bet regardless of the quality of the new result. This implies that, for the moment, replacing the French voices with Artificial Intelligence is unlikely… which is more good news!
We wish the teams who provide the dubbing for The Young and the Restless and The Bold and the Beautiful / Top Models another wonderful year following the adventures of Newman, Abbott, Forrester and Logan!
