Quite frankly quality of a lot of shows has diminished so maybe a raise will actually motivate some of these writers to do good work.

Finally a mainstream article that gets it right about scabs & Fi-core status! https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/2023/08/12/scabs-actors-writers-strike-breakers/

I was told by someone at the studio at GH that they were picketed last strike just as they have been picketed all along on this strike. At one point he indicated that "crossing the picket line" is no big deal as you're just going to work like any other day but at another point he indicated that things are uglier this strike & it feels more ... unpleasant, and so more stressful. He is neither a writer or a director, of course.

What the heck is ClownfishTV & what the heck is a Fi-Core actor? There's no such thing!

I honestly don't understand how they can cancel a show and pretend it is different from firing people due to the strike.
