Writers Strike Comes to an End; Leadership Votes To Conclude Work Stoppage

It’s over! After 148 days, the 2023 Writers strike will go down as the second longest in WGA union history, only a labor stoppage in 1988 was longer.
The strike will officially come to end on Wednesday at 12:01am PT. This was due to a vote from the guild’s leadership that now has authorized its over 11,500 members to return to work.
That means: pitching and selling scripts, taking meetings, responding to notes, writers’ rooms opening up again, and more, can now restart.

The WGA committee shared that the vote, “Allows writers to return to work during the ratification process, but does not affect the membership’s right to make a final determination on contract approval.” However, WGA East and West voted unanimously to lift the “restraining order” on Tuesday.
As the negotiators shared, the end of the strike doesn’t mean that the tentative agreement that the union reached with producers on Sunday night is a surefire thing: Union members still need to vote to ratify the contract. Union leadership announced on Tuesday that will take place between October 2nd and October 9th.

However, SAG-AFTRA still remains on strike. So, even with the writers returning to work, many productions can’t move forward without their principal actors and performers.
So soap fans, how do you feel about this news for your favorite shows? Glad that the head writers and their writing teams will be back at work as soon as this week from Days of our Lives, General Hospital, and The Bold and the Beautiful? Y&R’s Josh Griffith, who previously had gone Fi-Core during the 2008 strike, remained at the top rated show during the last several months.

Counting down the minutes until the Jay Leno show begins…can’t wait! Love Ejami!
NOT!
I stopped watching this show way back when Rafe and Nicole were in Brady’s Pub talking and the dialogue was like hearing long finger nails on a chalk board. That’s how bad the writing was and most likely, still is. Even as a gay man, I will not watch the show even if Will and Sonny are on. Days’ writing team ruined this show for me.
Im ready for Ejami but not 4 a another dumb reality show!
Taped JL. Will watch later. Nice to see Ali and James promo NBC shows. Good to know NBC realizes how popular they are. Would also be nice to see primetime stars promo Days.
I am so thrilled at the promotion of EJami by NBC. James and Alison have such onscreen chemistry that it is just fun to watch them whatever they are doing. The “Ready For Love” promos are so cute.
Jay Leno and EJami was a winning combination. Late night has now been introduced to Days’ sexiest couple.
Ejami as a real couple…who’d have thought this day would really come? But yes, it’s here, and NBC is taking smart advantage of it!
OMG!!I LOVED it!!The whole family loved it.It was insanely divine!!Ali and James were fantastic and Jay fit right in~~~LOVED
Really enjoyed seeing James Scott and Alison Sweeney on The Tonight Show. Jay Leno did a really good job of playing the “I’m in love w/Sami – not really in love w/Sami” piece beautifully and the double drink in the face was hilarious! The candlestick to the face? Priceless!
DD…
I saw it and I loved it. I couldn’t stop laughing! NBC is doing a great job of cross promoting Ready for Love and Days/EJami. Looking forward to seeing more 🙂
The sketch was so much fun. Great job, Ali, James and Jay Leno. And thank you NBC for finally realizing the potential EJami has.
Loved the tonight show skit! James & Ali were so funny you could tell they were about to laugh at any moment… I’ve really enjoyed EJami’s story on Days & look forward to seeing more promos with them & NBC!
The sketch was so funny. My boyfriend actually laughed out loud when he watched it with me! I love to see the network making the most of Ali Sweeney and James Scott with all of this cross promotion. Way to step it up NBC!
Love all things EJami! I watched Leno last night just for them! 🙂
Loved it. Go Ejami! 🙂
Loved the skit and loved the RFL promo. The show probably isn’t my cup of tea, but having Alison Sweeney and James Scott promote it as EJ and Sami was a brilliant idea. If there’s hope for them, there really is hope for anyone! Now who do I thank for finally bringing those two crazy kids together? These past couple of months have been a soap fan’s dream come true. 🙂
Loved the skit and promo spots. Reminds me of the day when they’d use the supercouples – like Bope – to promote other NBC shows. Guess that seals it…Ejami is Days new supercouple!!
YES ! It is clear than NBC and Days has gotten the memo: EJAMI GENERATES BUZZ!!
They are finally using that buzz in a really smart way and targeting the key demos using this couple to increase viewership on other shows. As someone with a Marketing/Ad back ground my heart jumped when I saw the first RFL promo featuring Ejami!
Is it any coincidence that this fictions soap couple has trended TWICE on twitter and took Days with it once…not to mention helping Days trend during the Ejami centric Daysaster story line in the Summer!? Yeah…I did not think so! Lol
They have been demonstrated to be SO popular that they are now leveraging that fan base and popularity to boost other NBC shows! I say its brilliant cross promotion and they should do it more often!
This is classic Soap Couple marketing and it worked for GH’s L&L and its working for Days’ Ejami too! I am so proud of our long considered ‘under dog” couple. Clearly now that they have been given a chance, they are shining and it seems the network realizes what a golden goose they have with this couple!
Loved the promos and the Jay Leno skit had me in stitches! Ejami: NBC and all your fans say Thank you!!
I am LOVING all the EJami!! The skit was campy and fun, loved it! It’s about time that NBC realized all the potential that they have in EJami and it’s great to see them taking advantage of that finally. 😀
Loved the skit…. Love Ej and Sami together!
What can I say anything Ejami I’ll watch. The promo for RL is a great idea because Ali is pretty well known and James is going to be a major star someday. One day we’re going to look back and remember the day when JS was on Leno and laugh because it was smart of NBC to use Ejami to bring the buzz to Late night. Also it was just plain funny in a soapy kinda of way.
My hats off to the writer who wrote such a campy scene. I laughed my arse off!!!
How James, Alison & Jay kept straight faces is beyond me.
That being said. The new show “Ready for Love” can’t be any worse than the Bachelor/Bachlorette series. I think I’ll tune in and check it out!!!
Thanks for the heads up on stuffs Michael!!!
Loved it! So soapy and so fun! I’ve loved NBC using Ejami in cross-promotions with other shows. Very market savvy if you ask me!
Watched it last light and it was really funny and quintessential soapy fun, and more like a play on how flip floppy relationships on soaps can be.
And I loved Alison Sweeney and James Scott during it!
Go EJAMI!
The last Ready For Love promo was hilarious. Choosing two Days stars to help promote that show was a great idea. I personally would not have paid attention to the promos when they aired if they hadn’t had used JS and AS.
Also loved the Jay Leno skit.
The “Tonight” skit was good campy soap fun! Jay, James, and Ali all did a great job. I have enjoyed the crossover promos for “Ready For Love” with James and Ali. EJami is the perfect couple to show that true love can overcome anything, so that is a good marketing decision.
Feel so bad for Abe, he gets no air time now that his beautiful wife is gone. This show has gone down the tubes, the stories or boring and more ridiculous then ever. Jennifer/Daniel the most boring couple on the planet gets too much airtime!! Nicole who has no real purpose on the show even gets a good amount of airtime. I’m done with this crappy show.
James Scott. In a Robe. Chest Hair. Gorgeous Stubble. Nuff said. . . 😉
What a fun sketch that was. My husband and I really got a kick out of it. Ali was gorgeous, James was handsome as always, and Jay proved he could start a new career as a soap star. Bully for NBC for providing some great comedy and using their talent so effectively.
The Leno skit was a riot, and the promo pieces are fun!!!! It’s all good!!!!!!
Hats off to NBC for its cross promotional efforts that capitalize on the popularity of and fan interest generated by those daytime TV fictional gems Ej and Sami. The Tonight Show skit was a cute and campy cross between a melodramatic DOOL/Ejami interlude and GWTW with a dash of Leno’s own special brand of goofiness thrown in for good measure . Alison, James and Jay all appeared as if they were enjoying their Days spoof. I agree with those who have said that they watched the promos for NBC’s new reality show “Ready For Love” expressly because they featured Alison and James. This recent spate of cross promotional “Ejami-ness” suggest how valuable the Ejami pairing and the actors who embody them are to their parent network.
Loved the skit! It was a lot of fun! Ali was gorgeous and James was handsome as usual ! Glad that NBC is using the most sexy and talented couple on daytime tv to promote their new dating reality show. I might have to check it out just to see what it’s all about even tho I’m not fond of reality tv.
That was funny as hell!! LOL…. Thanks Michael 🙂
Absolutely love that NBC is using Ejami to promote other shows Good PR for Days and EJami Loved the skit on Jay Leno Ali/James were awesome!
LOVED seeing Ejami getting exposure during prime time. And having NBC cross promote these shows is a good move. I’ll take any Ejami air time I can get, but soaps can only benefit from air time and cross promotion.
I loved the skit and promo. NBC, now the world has seen the most adorable couple on T.V. The huge fan base would love you if we could have a movie with Allison Sweeney and James Scott are at least call Tom Hanks and put a bug in his ear !
This was just soo Hilarious, Loved that NBC promoted Ejami while sending off Jay Leno..I thought Jay was a natural (lol) can never get enought of Alison Sweeney & James Scott together. I too feel they should do a Movie Together, natural Chemistry does not grow on trees..Very talented duo.
I really wish they would get this nightmare of a so called couple off my TV. This has got to be the worst couple with Dan and Jen coming in second.
Can’t watch Days anymore because it is so bad with the abusive couple getting together and in love (getting sick to my stomach) and I won’t be watching Ready for Love either, wrong couple to adverties for a love show
