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.

i think it is great that she is coming to the show.one of my favorite actresses too. think she will be one great addition to the sho, but the show needs to bring back some more veterens.
Very Excited! Sarah Brown is an awesome actress! Can’t wait for her to go toe to toe with Alison Sweeney!
Love Sarah Brown, but I think they could’ve just kept Crystal Chappell, and wrote some good stuff for her!!
They should also bring back martha madison as belle, and jason cook as shawn. Bryan D as lucas please. As well as faye Nicole mom, I adored abe and faye.
Send rafe packing. It seem so weird that patrick muldoon is back. I have to be honest. patrick to me doesn’t respect the soap genre, he left because he got a better offer and I have a strong feeling his time at days is not perment. Pat will probably leave again onced something better comes along again!!!. Austin peck and Christie clark did a great job. And I absolute detested Horgan Sheffer after he decided to write them off. I really feel Caustin was coming in to their own. I love Austin peck’s Austin sentimental , sweet, caring, patrick Austin was a bad boy a rebel with out a cause . I wish the writers would bring them both back. Austin and patrick both added something really special to the role. Dear writers just because other fanbases complained about Peck’s version doesn’t mean they did not watch or stop watching. In fact Both christie Clark, and Austin peck contributed to the ratings. Also I wish they bring back the original brady. His acting and chemistry is out of this world plus he looks like john and marelna.
Quote “plus he looks like john and marelna”, Kyle Lowder was Brady from 2000 – 2005. But I’m not sure why Kyle or Eric should look like Marlena. Brady’s mother is Isabella Toscano Black, not Marlena. But I did love Kyle as Brady also, I’m just not sure he could pull of the dark side of Brady we are see now from Eric.
Not excited. I’ve never enjoyed SJB, and I hate it when soaps bring in other “name” soap stars and make them brand-new characters instead of connecting them to core families. This role should have been Sarah Horton.
She looks a lot like Tamara, she is a good actress.
Funny you say that b/c Sarah originated Carly on GH and Tamara took over the role which is now played by Laura Wright.
Excited to see what my favourite soap has in store for this wonderfully talented actress!
I hope she and Brady gets together,
EJ and Nicole get back together
Rafe can go away,but if not He and Sophia
and Lucas and Sami and 4 kids as THE NEW HORTON FAMILY 2011 and till the end of DAYS.
So exciting!! I love EJ – Did you hear about this really exciting contest to meet James Scott and Joseph Mascolo on the Days set and to appear with them in Soap Opera Digest? Check it out at http://www.classwish.org/days/fame
I think it would be great to finally have Nicole/Brady/ and now Madison story! Nicole & Brady have been need of new story and direction for a long while! It’s about time Nicole & Brady got a story and someone to tackle. It’s been reported that Madison will set her sights on Brady. Which means that you know Nicole is not going to like that one bit!
Nicole/Brady/Madison story makes great sense and something new and fresh for the characters of Brady and for Nicole, and the right placement and direction for them together!
Days better get it right, because Sami can only be her old Sami self with Lucas there to cheer her on. Lucas needs to be added to this storyline!
No offense well actually a lot of offense! So they let go of a phenomenal two time emmy winning out of this world talented actress Crystal Chappell ,and turn around and hire Sarah brown? They had so much potential with Bo and Carly, Jenn and Carly or even Daniel and Carly. Im extremely disappointed and DOOL has just taken what little interest I had in watching the show and chucked it out the window! Ill finish watching CC storyline and shut DOOL off permanently! Onward and up ward to Venice and the Grove!
The storyline with Madison James sounds like it is going to be good. Looking forward to it, especially if she takes on Kate and Victor. It will be fun to see someone take them down a notch or two!
I think it’s a good hire. We’ll miss carly,vivian etc. but who knows they may be brought back later. i’ve heard rumors that chloe may return late 2011,early 2012. As far as the current storylines the writers are tying up loose ends to relaunch the show. Let’s give them a chance before we judge them. More vets would be nice. and hey who knows if the ratings go up and stay up we may all get our wishes or a days spin off??????
