2023 Writers + Actors Strike Thread


Recommended Posts

  • Members

The View is part of the news department, which is why I think there are less complaints as people aren’t picketing news broadcasts as they are not considered struck work. Cable news would have had to stop if those writers where WGA members… Drew and The Talk have or had WGA writers on staff like the late night talk shows…that is where the issue comes from probably.

That is why the WGA plans to picket.  If a show says that they can go on without writers, it diminishes their value.

It is also kind of tricky that shows like Sheri and Kelly&Mark use their producers like writers, but don't give them credit.  However, that's a separate issue.

They have been striking at the View the entire time they have been airing new episodes. WGA contracts are complex, and The Talk, Drew, Jennifer Hudson, Kelly Clarkson, and the View all have writers that are part of the current striking contract. News writers have a contract that either expires next year or the year after. Other daytime show writers that are not news or on those shows are under a contract similar to the soap actor contract- it is still valid and not expired.

As of this morning, only Kelly Clarkson’s show had not announced an intention to resume production, but the others either have or are going to. They will be striking them too if they are not already.

The absolute comedy of Ross Matthews and Drew now calling themselves co-anchors. She was incredibly misleading in her statement about resuming her show.

    • To be honest...I don't think it is her physical appearance that gives her a toothy look..I think its her  "Hello everyone...I'm a child STAR!!!! Aint I precious" and that smile she has plastered on her face during...every scene....I really think its more the directors fault...(I didnt notice any toothy smiles when she came back as an adult for that one day...) But it also could be the writing...any LOWHAD scenes should have been off limits to diabetic viewers. I think it really goes to show how lucky we were to have RM and BB as kid actors...they really went against that whole "Cutie pie" child actor thing and seemed real. What was with PG and the stupid island fetish they had? Though seeing Zimmer and Wyndham one upping each other would have been great.
    • Larry Wolek had the worst luck with Karens, lol.
    • I'm watching an episode of Another World from 1990, and Rachel Cory is in San Cristobal searching for the truth about Mac past While in San Cristobal, wonder if Prince Richard will invite the esteemed Mrs. Mackenzie Cory to dinner at the palace. Or maybe Rachel might stumble onto a wet Reva Lewis washed up on the San Cristobal beaches.
    • I was bummed at the time.  AMC had 3 books going so far as the introductions of Brooke and Dona Beck.  I think GH had 2 books.  I was anticipating more OLTL.  My guess is that they did not sell well.
    • Shame that's the only one. It would've been great to see Viki/Niki or Carla Grey books
    • Today's episode was sad

      Roman sitting with Kayla, thanking John for raising his kids… and Josh saying goodbye to a lifelong friend - total tearjerker . Can’t wait to see Carrie, Sami, Hope, and Jennifer comforting Marlena. Bo and Marlena’s reunion is going to be so emotional. I guess because of the long-time rift between Deidre and Suzanne, we won’t get any Marlena and Maggie scenes? That’s really too bad. Maggie should be there.
    • Of course! It's a lot to compile, with every Tom, Dick, and Harry credited, but it's fun!

    • So far, Canada has been one day ahead for six episodes. @Toups @Errol  any official word on this? MVJ commented to a viewer on twitter:   from @iammskye1 I demand to be put in the same schedule with the Canadian #BeyondTheGates viewers. If that means dropping us two episodes in one day, one aired live and one on streaming, do what you gotta do, lol. They ain’t bout to be out here outdoing us.   Michele Val Jean @MicheleValJean June 2, 2025 I hate this too. It really screws with the way we construct reveals if one batch of viewers is ahead of the rest. Very frustrating. #BeyondThe Gates #BTG https://x.com/MicheleValJean/status/1929742526107603321   from @iammskye1  Thank you for acknowledging our pain.
