Gee nice to know a thread about someone possibly violating WGA rules, turns into an actor bash thread Why am I even surprised given that's about all that happens anymore on this board. MarkH asked an honest question and got a bunch nonsense. Sorry that your thread got highjacked

As Le Tigre would say, "So WHAT!?"

I don't like some fangurl coming in and dissing everyone else for merely "expressing their DAMN opinions."

TK is in violation of WGA. He likely no guild card and I am sure WGA went on strike for a reason.

But, JHC obviously allows it because TK is her buddy.

He has never won an Emmy so that is wonderful.

A lot of soap actors have rewritten scenes. I thought as long as you got permission from the people onset nothing happened.

GAG. Only a month or two until this actor is unemployed and watching Red Wings games all day.

LOL!

What does this mean? If you rewrite and the writers approve (directly or via some proxy) then it is okay?

Add Hunter Tylo to the list. I think JW said something along the lines that she's interesting and hard to work with because she'll change the dialogue ad hoc and he has to be quick to modify his lines to what she says.

Maybe it all depends on if the writer gets pissed that their lines have been changed and has the clout to make changes as a result.

There is a big difference between an actor giving his ideas to the writer about the scene playing out then actually putting pen to the script and re-writing.

How are you coping with the end of Zendall? Is the pain starting to fade?

I wouldn't bother with it if TK/JHC had the guts to put his name in the writing credits.

Why should they? It's one scene. Should every actor who does a decent ad lib end up in the writing credits too?

Priceless.

The idea that TK rewrote the lines to make Zach even more misogynistic than he already is gives me pause when considering him back at OLTL, which I have always welcomed.

I really wasn't fully aware of -- and therefore didn't mean to tap into -- the depth of the TK hate around here.

But I take the gist of the responses here to indicate that (1) TK didn't do anything that loads of other soap actors, do, and (2) that maybe the reason DOOL entered a WGA flap had less to do with what Ed Scott allegedly did, and more to do with the fact that someone (e.g., Dena Higley) called him on it and started an action.

I have heard of actors ad libbing/adjusting dialog before...that seems normal to me. But to throw out a whole "vow" speech and completely rewrite with impunity seemed -- to me -- to go beyond what I imagine the WGA would want. Still, I doubt any action will follow.

Somehow I can't quite accept that they are ending. It's just too good to be true. I feel like I'm going to wake up one of these days and their end will have been nothing but a dream or we'll hear that TK has decided not to leave after all, or that AM is going to come back and Zack will be recast. I'm afraid I'm going to have to see the body before I believe this couple from hell is truly dead. Although I'll settle for them moving far, far away and taking Spike (most ridiculous baby name ever) and Ian with them, never to be heard from again. Ever.

The only thing that gives me hope that this horrible couple may really be off my screen is that Rylee is coming back. It's kind of like killing Jason off once and for all just to have Freddie Kruger rise from the grave behind him.

The idea that TK rewrote the lines to make Zach even more misogynistic than he already is gives me pause when considering him back at OLTL, which I have always welcomed.

I keep imagining him being hired at DAYS and then James Scott slaps him in the face with a leather glove and they duel with those curling irons Stefano used to use to mindwipe people.
