Members dawn9476 Posted November 7, 2007 Members Share Posted November 7, 2007 Ellen was back taping yesterday. Several sources have said that Desperate Housewives will end production today after they have completed episode 10. They have no more scripts. Someone works on this show on another board I go to. She said that they have two shows to film. And apparently they have to film them because of the locations they have booked. I am pretty sure I read 30 Rock has shut down production considering that Tina Fey in on strike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members stenbeck212 Posted November 7, 2007 Author Members Share Posted November 7, 2007 Ellen must be in the WGA herself. Are we to believe that she'll just improvise every episode for the strike's duration? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sonja Witthaus Posted November 7, 2007 Members Share Posted November 7, 2007 Has anyone heard anything the shows Life is Wild, Reaper, Criminal Minds, Bionic Woman and ER? Do they have anyone scripts and have they stopped production? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Snark Posted November 7, 2007 Members Share Posted November 7, 2007 John Wells told the AP that they have one ER script ready to shoot, one in good shape, and one rough draft that will have to be reviewed to see if it's ready to shoot. So, best case scenario, they have three scripts left. Haven't heard about the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted November 7, 2007 Members Share Posted November 7, 2007 Holy Crap! I can't find the article anywhere, but I read somewhere that the WGA is asking all of its members to turn in any unproduced scripts to them immediately, so they can make sure the Writers aren't crossing the picket lines! And the AMPTP is threatening to sue the writers if they turn those scripts over the WGA, because the material, once handed in to the production company, belongs to them. WOW. This is really heating up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Snark Posted November 7, 2007 Members Share Posted November 7, 2007 That would be the Script Validation Program. Here's a detailed article about it from a couple of weeks ago in Variety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted November 7, 2007 Members Share Posted November 7, 2007 Hey thanks for linking that...I think this was the article I read, but for some reason, I was thinking this was recent. If there are script changes, how will the WGA know it was one of its own and not a scab? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members daysfan Posted November 7, 2007 Members Share Posted November 7, 2007 I worry that if the strike continues into Janurary, and Days ends up just shutting down production...it will be gone for good, and NBC will use that chance to cancel it.

Members SoapQueen89 Posted November 7, 2007 Members Share Posted November 7, 2007 I know True Blood began production about 3 weeks ago. Graham is filming his 3rd episode this week. He filmed the other two episodes a few weeks ago in New Orleans. Jen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ljacks13 Posted November 8, 2007 Members Share Posted November 8, 2007 Question: Seeing stars of primetime shows on the picket line with the writers, should soap actors do the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted November 8, 2007 Members Share Posted November 8, 2007 ^well soaps are still filming, a lot of these primetime shows are not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dawn9476 Posted November 8, 2007 Members Share Posted November 8, 2007 Nancy Lee Grahn was seen picketing. Someone over at SZ saw her in the background on ET when they were showing the Grey's cast out picketing. GA is filmed next door to GH. http://soapzone.com/boards/read.php/gh/main/9261727 Soap actors belong to a different union but almost all of them are probably part of SAG because of any primetime and film work they have done. Plus it also hard to get an agent without you SAG card. Some casting directors also won't let you audition without having your SAG card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted November 8, 2007 Members Share Posted November 8, 2007 ^LOL! I knew Nancy would picket, it just seems like something she'd do, and I love her even more for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
