I don't see why Y&R would be exempt from a WGA award. But Griffith, Bell, and Cwickly would not receive the award, only the WGA writers (assuming the strike ends in 2008.)

I believe as brimike pointed out, since Y&R's head writers are FiCore members, that alone excludes the show and writing team from being nominated for any type of WGA award.

So, Y&R won't be nominated for an award. Big whoop. If awards are all these shows live for today, then no wonder this industry's in trouble.

This is only if Latham doesn't return after the strike of course and Griffith remains in the HW position. I doubt the show would want to risk that kind of isolation from the WGA, even if being FiCore is within WGA rules...

The other thing is... even if technically the Fi-Core writers are still allowed to be nominated for a WGA award (and I'm still unsure how that all works), they'll certainly be disliked enough that they wouldn't be nominated on principle alone. The other members of the writers' guild that stuck with the strike probably would rather cancel the awards than give it to a member who went FiCore during a strike... even if it is technically allowed.

Only Amanda L. Beall was listed as SW today. There is usally two. Anything new on AMC?

No, that just means she wrote the breakdown and script. Amanda does this every once in a while.

I think I just vomited a little bit.

I am sure this news made you want to tune back in!

I'd rather gargle glass than tune back in for that crap.

Here's something I never expected.....Hope Harmel Smith writing? What???

AMC:

- Hope Harmel Smith first listed as Writer on January 8

Hope Harmel Smith is a Friend of Julie from PC, so it's not that surprising that she would be asked to join AMC right before the strike.

It's surprising that she's writing becauses she's never written for daytime before. That's why I found it weird.

Hope Harmel writing? Wow... now that's weird. If only it would help the quality of the show.

HOw was Hope listed? Breakdown? with the other writers or alone like Garin Wolf?
