2023 Writers + Actors Strike Thread

[BoldRestless]

I feel like Y&R is the only other one that would make anyone say "finally!" but with Griffith being fi-core, it seems so unlikely...

[dragonflies]

Errol I hope it's BOLD cause these current hacks need to GO!

I do wonder when we’ll get news about this soap

Looks like the speculation about this going on through January may end up being true. I sure hope not.

WGA & AMPTP Can’t Agree To Resume Negotiations; Strike To Go On Indefinitely – Deadline

[lucaslesann23]

Now that the days drama is hopefully done with, I wonder what this is about!

[Contessa Donatella]

Just for the record, this is from my personal notes. Got it off of the WGA website. There was no distinction made as to East or West. I only wish now that I had gotten the whole list instead of stopping at 1999.

Well, considering Bell's co-head writer is fi-core, and he is still EP, he has full control, ultimately.

You just quoted where it says that!  it says WGAW - that's WGA-West.
I know the list is on the main WGA site, but the list itself is WGAW.

Also the URL of the list contains "wgaw"

Ohhhh. Okay. So it is West. Gotcha. I paid no attention to the little w. Thanks. I thought I was onto something. Never mind.

UPDATE - the WGA-East finally listed their members who went fi-core. They updated their site June 19, 2023, but I had missed it.
They don't give dates of when each person chose fi-core status.
They just give everyone who is.

Both the West and East lists say "fi-core is forever" at the top of their lists.

Michele Val Jean, apparently disgusted as are many other WGA strikers today, referred me to this to explain to me why they are so disenchanted after yesterday. She has it on her Twitter page.

It’s what’s been openly declared among writers for about 20 years now, might as well put it in writing.

Of all the so-called trade papers, Deadline has got to be the worst.
