There would normally be current flow in both the resistor and the lamp. As in the case of two resistors in parallel, the total resistance is larger if the lamp blows and there would be less total current flow.

up in case the bulb blows (I think that with two resistors in parallel, the
electricity will always flow through the lower resistance, so the resistor
just sits there waiting for its turn).
