Guys, I'm so excited right now! I can't even believe it!

I've just had an email from my source at ABC who said that the strike is over....

I'm trying to get confirmation but this source is very reliable... fingers crossed!

It seems this week's rumors that the writers' strike is coming to an end may indeed be true. We are hearing from several sources that the WGA and the AMPTP are "very close" to a deal, which could be announced as early as later today.
According to reliable insiders who asked not to be named, the writers and producers were in talks for nine hours yesterday and made a "staggering amount of progress," as all of the major sticking points have been settled.
"We are 99.9 percent of the way there," one source inside the negotiations said. "As of late yesterday, just a few small issues remained."
The stickiest issue of all, compensation for new-media projects, has been agreed upon by both sides, according to sources. Said one: "There is most certainly light at the end of the tunnel, and we are rapidly approaching it."
Stay tuned, and keep those fingers crossed. An announcement could come any minute.

I so hope it's true.
The very minute that deal is settled I want all of you writers back at your desks and slaving away to give us the rest of the season of Lost, SPN and PB!

Better start sending them some sharpeners..... how are they going to do any writing with all these unsharpened pencils???

So looking forward to all getting back to normal!!!

I hope this is true...there have been rumors of informal talks taking place....but the people participating in this talks have remained hush-hush and haven't revealed any details publicly...I feel like some many people are in the dark on this one, and it would be nice if an official public statement were made regarding what progress has been achieved.

I do hope they take Moonlight up again. Just watched ep 11 and I think it's a very good series.

candyrose · 02-03-2008, 11:14 AM

I like the show, too. I remember how we were discussing weeniworth getting some real tats....anyway, it reminds me of this dude....in real-life he is covered in tats, but they cover them up for the show

I have to check out if there's a Moonlight section on this board. Did you see all eps?
Did you watch Californication, and if so, what did you think of it?

candyrose · 02-03-2008, 12:12 PM

yes, there is a forum for Moonlight.

Calena · 02-03-2008, 12:23 PM

I think I've even been there once, but then forgot about it with all that was going on. I see you post over there, too, that's nice. We can bring a little bit of disquiet on over there, too.
