The party was traditionally held at a prestigious venue in the northern city. The source stated, “Everyone will still go, but they are not happy about it.” Additionally, it’s been noted previously that the soap has adjusted its filming approach, such as reducing the number of scenes for the cast.

Moreover, show bosses have reduced the amount of extras used and have implemented more continuous filming schedules. The insider revealed, “Many of them are panicking about what these cuts mean for their futures.” With over 50 cast members in total, some have not had filming opportunities for weeks.

Reducing the number of cast members in scenes has, it’s believed, freed up the budget for expenses like hair and lighting.

Additionally, there’s been a shift towards utilising more in-house staff rather than freelancers for various roles. Will things turn back to normal in the near future?
