They Merged March 30, 2012. Its been 11 years and Contracts run 3 years so they should have been able to get both contracts on the same timetable by now

If Neighbours is SAG AFTRA signatory it will have to shut down until the strike is settled

its for background actors/Extras. Its a way to pay an extra once and be able to use them 4ever

Performers in Soaps, Variety, Reality, Game shows and Talk shows will continue their work as their contract with SAG AFTRA , The Network TV Code is in effect thru July 2024. Its unfair the contracts do not start and end at the same time. They all pay the same dues.

SAG AFTRA & AMPTP are looking to bring in a mediator to help settle these contract issues. If this happens the current contract will be extended again https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/business/story/2023-07-11/sag-aftra-amptp-federal-mediator-contract

Isnt it almost time for the temp Eric Brady that played Cooper Barrett on GH?

I still have faith in Sprina but Trina annoyed me today. Why couldnt she call out Joss when Joss admitted she cheated on Cam with Dex I may be in the minority but Holiday Mia Kriegel was good in her scenes as Molly with TJ. I also liked how Molly acknowldeged that she hadnt been thinking of TJ's grief, only her own.

AE was great as Tawny, Rebecca & Tina. RIP

Correct Vee Buxton was when Tomlin was EP Timmins was in 2003 Im not sure when Preston was being thought of but I think it was before Evans' 2008 stint as Tina

In 2003 Frons was seriously looking at both Cali Timmins (Who I would have chosen) & Sarah Buxton as Tina Then I believe he almost brought Tina back later somewhere in 2006-07 and wanted Cynthia Preston as Tina

RIP Jeffrey Carlson

I do wonder if Erica Kane is one of Martin's ex-wives and he stole the blueprint for the deceptor from Enchantment

And if SAG AFTRA strikes then this will defintley be on hold

NAC is temp leaving and will be back. GH will not temp recast Spencer. https://tvline.com/news/nicholas-alexander-chavez-leaving-general-hospital-spencer-recast-gh-1235007480/

Congrats too If SAG strikes soon then this series will be put on hold til SAG strike ends Also Im sure he got the Ok to do this given he is still under contract at GH until June 2024 Im sure they will work it out shooting wise

Peter Reckel did an interview with Michael Fairman where he basically said Days would letting actors go soon. I bet this has something to do with it

Thought the thread may enjoy this

I do not remember reading much in the 07-08 strie that the WGA was attempting to close down productions. Not saying it didnt happen but it seems to be one of the goals of this strike

Im indifferent My thing is , if WGA has an issue with writers using that option, why give it as an option?

oh 100% You'd think someone in the WGA would know what Fi-Core status is Writers with Fi-core status are not scabs. Its an option that WGA allows it members. It still makes them pay dues. WGA still gives them benefits. Fi-core can write during strikes They cannot vote on WGA matters or hold WGA office. If WGA is so aganist Fi-core, why offer it?

well looked at her imdb and the only thing I saw she was in was Super 8 she seems to write, direct & act in alot of her own creations I find it funny that GH has been taping all along and now WGA gets them to shut down I dont think she has any ide what she is talking about

Well I dont think Sarah cares she if she professionally acts again but I bet she will.

After she left GH, as Claudia, ABC Hired the director who sexually harressed her She was mad that VM said that her BFF was the wife of the owner of Saban Entertainment who produced her in VR Troopers and also sexually assualted her Also her baby Daddy Shukey Levi was engaged to Shell Danielson (Ex-Dominique) when SJB got Pregnant its when Shell came to Port Charles as Dominique's ghost in 1997 that SJB and Shell put it all together and both left him SJB says Shukey stalked her until 2001 when SJB finally was granted a restraining order
