As hearings were not deleted when published Monday - I assume they were held.
Take note these hearings were both "pre" preliminary hearings.

Pre preliminary hearings -- probably via video.

I'm not expecting an update on a pre, preliminary.

However, I did note that JT's private attorney's name not showing.

Info on crime & court info from 2/4/21 to 2/8/21 reference post #817 here:
CA - Roman Anthony Lopez, 11, found deceased, poisoned , Placerville, 11 Jan 2020 *arrests*
2/9/21 Update: The case against the Pipers returned Tuesday to El Dorado Superior Court to schedule a preliminary hearing, in which testimony will be heard & evidence will be presented for the judge to determine whether there’s sufficient evidence for the Pipers to stand trial. Pipers on Tuesday afternoon decided to waive that right & postpone scheduling their preliminary hearing, said Joe Alexander, El Dorado County Chief Assistant District Attorney. And defense needs more time to review discovery. Alexander said the Pipers were scheduled to return to court March 8 to schedule their pre-preliminary hearing. The two will remain in custody at the El Dorado County Jail.
3/8/21 Update: Hearing was in-person & discussed some evidence files that the defense asked for some time to review. Another pre-preliminary hearing was then scheduled in four weeks on 4/5/21.

Video CBS/13 simply stated that the pre-preliminary hearing for JP/LP was expected to be moved later on this month. Also confirmed the death of Rochelle Lopez over the weekend.
