I hope he does. I was thinking the show must have been banking on the strike ending soon while filming this week's episodes. All week has been shot inside a plane that only has "two hours of fuel and even less oxygen." All Week. All--Weeeeeek.
Damnit, you would think these people would learn not to fly anywhere together.
It's made last weeks Shirley Jones appearance, maternal revelation and death within six episodes seem like a whirlwind. Even with her magic lucky charms accent.
All Week. All--Weeeeeek.
Days has that part of soapyness down. 2 hours can last a full week, and kids grown from infancy to teens in 2 years. Beats Reality.
Laura, as part of the strike settlement, those writers are supposed to get their jobs back.
There also is supposed to be a favored nations clause in regard to SAG negotiations isn't there?
I don't think the favored nations clause (although agreed on verbally) made it into the written deal. I could be wrong.
MFN was a verbal agreement on New Media only.
In disappointing news, it seems that a lot of shows won't be back on the air until next season and the folks who work on those shows will be unemployed for, at least, another few months. A large number of BTL workers on the TV side may end up being unemployed for a total of 5-10 months, depending on the show.
What does the favored nations clause mean in this context?
*stomps on glib off-topic reply* All this talk of Most Favoured Nation is giving me all sorts of flashbacks to high school debate, the year we did China....
I have no reply for libkitty. But yay for the writers getting a deal that doesn't totally suck, and extra yay for Kristen giving us the no-rumours low-down! (This is the only place I've been getting strike news from.)

egad, that sucks. I don't know how you cover that kind of unexpected work gap.
