That is huge news in the lost media world thanks.

At least Sonny and Molly interacted as they are related during the hospital material. Did they use that bar for Nixon Falls too?

I guess none of you saw her discussing how she was raped or her cancer battle. While she played a humorous character and is known for that Fran Drescher love her or hate her is a lot more than just the nanny.

I don’t like Hope and Liam, but Thomas is not someone who was ever redeemed in my book. So this is annoying if it was just Hope being horny it would be an easier sell…

This article on Deadline is about Australia sounds like Neighbours revival won’t be closed though doesn’t mention it specifically just projects with primary nonUs under different contract. https://deadline.com/2023/07/mortal-kombat-2-apples-never-fall-shut-down-actors-strike-sag-aftra-australia-1235437970/

Okay one question I have that I haven’t seen answered yet is, can actors from network code SAG shows like daytime do interviews and appearances or not? I wonder if some in solidarity won’t of course…

@j swift I thought that number was staying at the Disney resort…not a family staying off site. I do think what they did to the workers so no unemployment was awful. Most kids don’t get the reasons behind the strike. BTW not against the strike, just saying.

Errol that’s who I meant not like the vendors or ride operators but people on stage who perform especially since Puppeteers are part of the group…so thanks for the clarification that those vacations won’t be ruined. ETA: it seems like all cons unless not covered for sag AFTRA are supposed to be skipped by members and San Diego is this weekend

In certain places 40,000 a year is not much. Silly question are people who work at Disneyland and sag striking?

Article from TvLine from Andrea’s teen daughter, https://tvline.com/news/andrea-evans-daughter-kylie-rodriguez-photo-age-tribute-1235011334/ I am still sad and don’t think I could watch any clips yet.

I am disappointed about this as they should have and would have known when they digitized the last group when some of them were posted and then hidden again. I would not be surprised if some old episodes that are missing still existed somewhere though we won’t see them. BTW WHAT cast members does this mean we won’t see?

This article mentions Appendix A that includes soaps https://deadline.com/2023/06/writers-strike-late-night-comedy-writers-face-oblivion-if-union-loses-1235425488/#comments does this mean that they would or could eliminate the 13 week cycles?

It is interesting to see the Emmy ballot, as now the daytime game shows and the nighttime ones compete against each other. Only the 30 minute Jeopardy is listed not either of the primetime ones.

If a writer is striking doesn’t their health insurance stop except in the rare cases when someone was paying premiums like I think at least one of the late night talk show hosts is doing it for their writing team. I understand going fi core as a writer if you need to keep your insurance… at least there is accountability with ficore as we knew who did it after the fact unlike when a show has no on listed as writing a program.

Thanks for the link to Linda Dano’s podcast.

Once David Caruso wanted out, it wouldn’t have made much sense to keep Sherry on. So she probably saw that and wanted to go…

Nurse Simpson on the Doctors, originally she didn’t have a first name, and was an under five, but later was a main principal character.

Another reason they don’t like to go back too far is HD…which considering how many FAST are very old shows is crazy….the residuals probably are barely anything, and most soaps had episodes posted on network websites for over 10 years. So it isn’t like they need to digitize again right?

My issue with Portia being obsessed and upset with Trina being involved with Spencer, is Trina is an adult now. Whenever she starts getting upset over the situation i wonder why Portia is not allowed to have a life or a story that makes sense. I doubt they would allow her to lose it and prove Spencer is not good enough for Trina by seducing Spencer…

When other unions strike, if a show is in production the actors have a no strike clause. Actors can strike, and in 2000 there was a strike of advertising acting where no actors that were Sag or AFTRA as they were separated still were allowed to do commercials. It got settled, and some people did scab, during that time, but less ads were produced. In 1980 there was a strike too by actors, but soaps were not a part of it. I haven’t read either way since the merger. what I wonder is does the DGA have a no strike clause for daytime? Since the DGA is not talking during negotiations if they don’t and that union strikes, I wonder if production would need to stop…because getting a scab directing staff may be more of a challenge than with writing.

How awful, and how scary for the other driver who did nothing wrong and was seriously injured. I hope Haley gets the help she needs…

The Doctors had two characters that the audience knew were alive and the others thought were dead Mike Powers and Karen Werner. They died in separate stories and came back in other plots..

Considering BJ, having Brad Maule as Tony say something like our daughter wants to see you, and of course we don’t see Jackie, but we see grown up BJ with Tony.. now that may be cheesy, but I would cry…

Jackie’s death seems different as we didn’t know she was ill and it happened quickly. Also unlike many we’ve lost who were in the genre for decades the show she’s best known for still is in production. It hasn’t been years since we’ve seen her on camera, but under 30 days. Still sad and processing feel for her daughters losing their mother right before Mother’s Day.

The last strike, SAG AND AFTRA were not one union, did they say if the soap performers can’t strike? If DGA goes out too, then some unscripted things may go bye too though, right?
