Members Kubla Khan Posted January 16, 2008 Members Share Posted January 16, 2008 R Sinclair: You do bring up a good point, re: returning to work when their entire staffs are picketing. It will be quite akward when the writing team returns to work, because many of them are such staunch supporters of the strike and undoubtedly are unsupportive of the Fi-Core writers. You have to wonder what the ramifications will be for the Fi-Core writers post-strike, will the networks get rid of them because they don't want to associate with "traitors" anymore, and are just using them to their advantage during strike time? It's funny: the networks & guilds always enjoy good relationships -- just not during contract negotiations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted January 16, 2008 Members Share Posted January 16, 2008 I pretty much agree with all of this. My biggest complaint is how bored I was with their stuff. So bored I actually tuned out for the longest time I have ever tuned out in my some 14 years watching this show. The balance improved slightly in December and it was the Adam/Kate business that finally drew me back in and of course the news of the much anticipated returns of Rebecca, Debbie and Darnell!

Members dragonflies Posted January 16, 2008 Members Share Posted January 16, 2008 My guess: They wanted to write for Debbi & Darnell. From what I've read this IS their story and they wanted it very badly.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted January 16, 2008 Author Administrator Share Posted January 16, 2008 Then why did they go Fi-Core at the beginning instead of late December if they really wanted to write this storyline......unless they were picketing in the daytime and then scabbing by night.

Administrator Toups Posted January 16, 2008 Author Administrator Share Posted January 16, 2008 I thought so. ABC deciding to not renew Karen just didn't sound right, especially after all those years she's dedicated to AMC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members baller Posted January 16, 2008 Members Share Posted January 16, 2008 Nope, she would have stayed around AMC, they chose not to renew her contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted January 16, 2008 Members Share Posted January 16, 2008 Maybe she cost a bit of money? More so than I bet Rebecca or Courtney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted January 16, 2008 Members Share Posted January 16, 2008 Toups my guess is they knew they were most likely about to be fired. If it weren't for this strike we'd have probably been rid of B&E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted January 16, 2008 Members Share Posted January 16, 2008 Going Fi-Core probably won them a lot of brownie points with Frons too, he won't have to search for too many scabs now or someone to head AMC's writing team. That's what makes me believe that B&E WILL NOT be fired after the strike ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted January 16, 2008 Members Share Posted January 16, 2008 I am with you. I'd like to hope that they are, but something tells me they will get a long grace period. Just like I believe to this day the babyswitch storyline bought Megan LOTS of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JAS0N47 Posted January 16, 2008 Members Share Posted January 16, 2008 I can only assume that the each "Days" scriptwriter was able/unable to finish up one last script for this time frame. That's why we've had the back and forth this week. I would guess they'd be gone for good by next week. US Airdate: Fri. 1/11 no dialogue writers Mon. 1/14 dialogue writers Tue. 1/15 no dialogue writers Wed. 1/16 dialogue writers Thu. 1/17 no dialogue writers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted January 16, 2008 Author Administrator Share Posted January 16, 2008 Yeah, I think some SWs were able to finish and hand in their script and some didn't before the strike began. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members AddictedToSoaps Posted January 18, 2008 Members Share Posted January 18, 2008 I was wondering the same thing as well. Not that I want his stuff to end of course! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
