Now, a Y&R spokesperson has confirmed that Bell resumed taping on March 13th in anticipation of a long-term return beginning in mid-April. Bell will tape three time a week, rather than a full five-day schedule.
Fans should know that while Bell is back for the long run, the length of her stay is still up in the air.
