Wish he hadn't taken the tweet down, but I guess he got some backlash, I have no idea. Murphy is scum, and his influence is clearly as toxic oncamera as it is off. Rarely have my instincts proven me so right (rarely they do at all...).

[Vee]

Yeah, it is being widely reported around NYC that AHS is definitely filming, so I don't think Leight was telling tales out of school.

Murphy is of course denying it to The Wrap:

Hm, so he’s threatening to blackball strikers who picket?

Oh, crew that are in sympathy with strikers? I don’t understand what he’s so upset about, lol.

I think it has to do with crew respecting the picket lines/boundaries during the shoot.

[DRW50]

So glad I don't watch his shows, especially after reading some of the replies (that he overworks the crew, makes editors work 24/7, etc.). I know you don't become an auteur by being a sweetheart, but he's just a hack on top of being a poser and a punk.

Dave Rupel, GH scriptwriter, posted strike photos on his Facebook (publicly available) of several soap writers and actors picketing. They each had signs that had funny comments.  In attendance (and who I recognized), Sara Bibel, Chris Dunn, Kate Simon Hall.  There was one writer in the photo who had a sign saying she had been through every writers' strike since 81. I don't recognize her. Can anyone identify her?

This article mentions Appendix A that includes soaps https://deadline.com/2023/06/writers-strike-late-night-comedy-writers-face-oblivion-if-union-loses-1235425488/#comments does this mean that they would or could eliminate the 13 week cycles?
