Members DRW50 Posted October 26, 2010 Members Share Posted October 26, 2010 Did the scabs write the deaf storyline? OLTL is made up as it goes along anyway, IMO, so a change might be an improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bellcurve Posted October 26, 2010 Members Share Posted October 26, 2010 Do compilation recap shows, with flashbacks and narratives during some of those days off...keep promoting your return through the ads. YouTube is love. Even if YouTube dies, there will be another renegade flash video site to take its place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted October 27, 2010 Members Share Posted October 27, 2010 The union should've held it's ground on the streaming issue. They screwed themselves. If they strike again - which I doubt they will - they need to commit fully to that issue. And by "commit fully" I mean they need to be prepared to scorch some earth.

Members remos Posted October 27, 2010 Members Share Posted October 27, 2010 No union has that strength anymore, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted October 27, 2010 Members Share Posted October 27, 2010 The union is only as strong as its members, and the whole financial core BS and whatever other loopholes only hurt their cause. Let TV and movies produce shows without writers. And when they try to hire non-union writers let the actors and directors strike in support. That is the only way to strike. You have to mean it.

Members RavenWhitney Posted October 27, 2010 Members Share Posted October 27, 2010 And it's always fascinating to see new writer names emerge just before or after a strike...it's amazing how non soap writers or former/retired writers, novelists, writer's assistants, suddenly appear in the credits...doesn't mean they were ficore or scabs but it is interesting....(Remember after the 88 strike we had lots of new writers from other areas of the daypart particularly the writers who took over from Lemay on AW).... Here's the list from 2008 AMC Hope Harmel Smith Darin Little Michael Cinquemani ATWT Lisa Kohn BB Shannon Bradley now under contract Adam Dusevoir now under contract DOOL Clem Egan (Passions writer who may have gone ficore) Linda Poindexter Brown Ryan Quan (now under contract) John Newman (had written for dool before son of ficore writer Fran Myers who was at OLTL at strike time) now under contract OLTL Tomiko Brooks Sharon Lennon Caterina Loebador sp?..can't recall the exact name GH no one....Phelps was probably writing all the scripts with her kids YR Jay Gibson (now under contract) Marc Parent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 27, 2010 Members Share Posted October 27, 2010 For several years now I've wondered exactly what Daran Little did at AMC. He is a very busy writer in the UK, writing a lot of episodes of Corrie, writing Corrie books, then writing big episodes at Hollyoaks. He then moved to the US and sat at AMC for a year doing...something. Then he went back to the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted October 27, 2010 Members Share Posted October 27, 2010 If I had to guess, I'd say it was drinking heavily and wallowing in regret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted October 27, 2010 Author Members Share Posted October 27, 2010 I think he also reached a personal and career low point just before AMC hired him. But I'm not sure. JamesF would know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
