TVG: Was the WGA Strike Good for Soaps?

[R Sinclair]

z9z9z9z9z9 RuRuRuRuRuPaul is that you?

Anyhow, GH was the only show I watched regularly (I've since tuned out since the lackluster, insulting Diego=TMK reveal) during the strike, and he's right about that show. It was just as incredibly dark as it ever was.

Honestly, I think it would have been pretty interesting to see the scabs write for this show. Too bad we didn't get a chance to see it. It probably would have been better.

[Sylph]

Yes!! I so co-sign this!

Yeah, sh!tfest all the way.

I think one of the biggest reasons GL's writing became even worse over the past few weeks, is because DK "stock piled" so many scripts before the strike. His writing was hit-and-miss at best before the strike, but trying to get so much in the can before the strike just made everything written even more haphazard. There were even a couple of shows where continuity didn't carry through the same episode, much less the same story!

I'm hoping things get better once we start seeing "fresh" material. Who knows, maybe DK had a chance to actually watch GL during the strike and finally picked up on all of the things the fans have been complaining about for months....

Hmmm..I remember a quote from David Kreizman during the "Take The Light With You" on ipods, and he even admitted that he never watched the show at all. Maybe sometime within the writers strike, he was able to actually see the show that he's writing for and how badly it blows...

Great post, Shakur!

LOL that is exactly what I was thinking! I have been wondering where Penny has been

Oh well. He/she is on ignore so it is no swear for me

[Khan]

Yeah, and maybe golden unicorns will fly out of my butt tonight.

Anything's possible.

[Khan]

Oh, you know Penny. She's never too far away (unfortunately).

[DevotedToAMC]

I have been waiting for Penny to show up again just so I can get a few laughs. She always was good for humor but not the HA HA kind...the kind where you just laugh at the ridiculousness

Maybe she got that writing job at AMC or OLTL? We can only hope! Her story ideas mirror that of the great Agnes Nixon!

[Khan]

Well, you know what they say: if you're going to steal....,lol.
