byzantium Posted May 2, 2023 Posted May 2, 2023 I really hope this works out for them but I am nervous it won’t considering most streaming revenue is fixed and not immediately contingent on writing scripts. I’ll cancel my Netflix subscription in solidarity.
schnetzka Posted May 2, 2023 Posted May 2, 2023 Most network television shows have already finished filming their current seasons so this most likely won't affect them unless this proceeds into July-ish for some reason.
Augmented Posted May 2, 2023 Posted May 2, 2023 Omg I remember when this happened in 07/08 and it’s affected so many shows me and my siblings used to watch. The amount of incredible shows it had an impact on as well like Heroes, Pushing Daisies, My Name Is Earl, Ugly Betty Time to pay up
touch Posted May 2, 2023 Posted May 2, 2023 There is money to pay the writers, and honestly, their demands are not that far-fetched
livelikemusic Posted May 2, 2023 Posted May 2, 2023 Sucks for the writers... but I'm intrigued to see what it will do for American daytime. Last time this happened in 2008 we got some amazing changes that ultimately should have stuck. Hoping it happens again.
Rigalo Posted May 2, 2023 Posted May 2, 2023 Saurrrr… will this effect drag race? Mama should be shooting a new season any day now
Raspberries Posted May 2, 2023 Posted May 2, 2023 Writers not getting royalties from streaming is mind-boggling
Trent W Posted May 2, 2023 Posted May 2, 2023 With AI being so advanced right now, it will be interesting to see the outcome of this Worst case scenario Studios move on without them would be tragic But I really don’t think AI will ever replace human creativity.

Days of our Lives films six month in advance and has scripts banked for 4 months. General Hospital, The Young and the Restless and Bold and the Beautiful film 3-6 weeks ahead. Their writing teams have been banking scripts in advance. Y&R’s head writer is a scab who fired his breakdown writers so he’ll continue writing scripts while the other writers are out fighting for his rights.
Lexiel Posted May 2, 2023 Posted May 2, 2023 The ammount of iconic shows this ruined the first time it happened

General Hospital and The Bold and the Beautiful will either benefit from this or really suffer. Days of Our Lives could stand taking some months off at this point, LOL, though, I do think a short-term fi-core writer could help shape things differently and put "the writer" in their place. As for Josh Griffith... he's a hack handling 10+ jobs, and it's disgusting.

McNulty Posted May 2, 2023 Posted May 2, 2023 The last time it gave us the best seasons of House and Lost so I won't complain but Pay the writers what they want

DoctorIce Posted May 2, 2023 Posted May 2, 2023 We got the final seasons of Barry and Succession in the bag before this, so we kinda won. I hope they get what they deserve though. Some of these actors get outrageous paychecks and they would be nothing without the writers - seems like it's time to rewrite that equation.
