Members Cat Posted July 24, 2008 Members Share Posted July 24, 2008 Eeeeeee, Karen Harris! LOL, don't know why I said that. I just like her work. Lechowick is LML's hubby, right? As I recall, on Y&R, he seemed to temper the worst of her excesses. At times. Out of Our Asses notwithstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sheilaforever Posted July 24, 2008 Members Share Posted July 24, 2008 Uhm yeah, he and his wife are so good about ethics. Let's fire everyone with expertise, who brought the show success and acclaim and hire our best friends and family members - what a pristine example. Someone like that ought to be on the board.

Members R Sinclair Posted July 24, 2008 Members Share Posted July 24, 2008 Oh. Isn't LML dragging him by a leash through the Amazon jungles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted July 24, 2008 Author Members Share Posted July 24, 2008 You know... I've been thinking (yeah, it's that preposterously presumptuous kind of sentence)... This might be a good thing: since he's was so involved with the strike and defended the interests of the writers, that might mean he will: PUNISH THE SCABS!

Members operagirl1 Posted July 24, 2008 Members Share Posted July 24, 2008 If he goes after Dena Hackley's ass for scabbing through her husband I'm all for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted July 24, 2008 Author Members Share Posted July 24, 2008 I seriously hope someone will go after these people. Justice might be slow, but it is achievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members detroitpiston Posted July 24, 2008 Members Share Posted July 24, 2008 Word! Though a balless hack like Bernard Lechowick should not be a candidate for anything with the WGA IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members y&r_fan Posted July 25, 2008 Members Share Posted July 25, 2008 LMAO! I don't get it, but LMAO! Why do the scabs need to be punished? SOMEONE needed to keep the shows going during the strike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members y&r_fan Posted July 25, 2008 Members Share Posted July 25, 2008 What's the difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted July 25, 2008 Members Share Posted July 25, 2008 then a writer goes ficore they tell the WGA and decalre ficore. they still pay dues but are not a full member. they do this either because they NEED to because of the money, want to keep the show going, or whatever. a scap is someone who pretends to not be writing but is behind everyones back for personal gain.

Members y&r_fan Posted July 25, 2008 Members Share Posted July 25, 2008 Ah, I see. I take back my earlier statement about scabs not needing to be punished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members brimike Posted July 25, 2008 Members Share Posted July 25, 2008 The Lechowick/Latham clan has long been heavily involved in WGA activities, for twenty years. There's nothing really surprising about this. And it's not like the board sits around writing scripts. :lol: It's not about talent. Well, not writing talent at least.
