Actor and writer unions on strike

[katmouse]

Unless you live under a rock, the actors guild is joining the writers guild with striking.

It's been 60 years since both have been on strike.

The strike will postpone fall network television and some speculate some shows won't be back on.

Movies in production are no longer being made.

Soap actors have a different contract and won't be striking.

I'm disappointed this movie is being put on hold.

Interesting comment. Will viewers do this?

I did not know this. I had been thinking that the fact DOOL has several months worth of episodes already filmed would mean they won't be hit with this. Hmmm.

I kinda wish it did affect DOOL so the show’s filming schedule could not be so far ahead.

 

[ShaunP(not ShawnD!)]

Wouldn't the strike affect the Days writers, though? So if there are no scripts, they can't film?

 

[Daysdegrassi]

Good Lord, I hope so. These writers need to be out of the job by any means available!

 

[katmouse]

Yes, the writers of Days are on strike. I think they have other people filling in.

I just put this elsewhere.

There is a rumor going around that Sheri Anderson is writing for Days. Apparently she has updated her Facebook cover photo with an hourglass.

Here's hoping

 

[Daysdegrassi]

Who is she?

Re-Ron is out researching an AG storyline for Days. Or just messing around on the east coast.

 

[Just Samantha]

What is an AG storyline? American Girl doll? Because their storybooks are pretty well written and their character histories are extremely well thought out. Re-Ron wouldn't have a chance of keeping up with them.

 

[Poirot]

Agriculture????

@Dayus D.....Sheri Anderson used to write for Days and wrote wonderful storylines. A shame when they lost her.

She is credited for creating many of Days most beloved super couples such as Kim and Shane Donovan, Bo and Hope Brady, and Steve and Kayla Johnson. She also created Austin and Billie Reed along with Victor Kiriakis and Vivian Alamain.

Agriculture storyline. Sorry, coming from Sacramento and now Kansas, and being a 4-H person, AG is a familiar abbreviation.

 

[Lil0]

Ha! I thought it was Attorney General!

Why Daytime Soap Operas Won't Be Impacted by the SAG-AFTRA Strike

Though SAG-AFTRA declared it would be going on strike on Thursday, the action will not affect daytime soap operas, talk shows and game shows, due to those employees' Netcode contract obligation

So, the soaps can still film, however they could run our of scripts due to the writers' strike. (Yes, Days films so far ahead, they probably are not worried at all, so far.)

I knew they had a different union for something.
