end of the 1981 Writers' Strike!

[gwynnega]

I told willowgreen I would post when the Writers' Strike episodes of Ryan's Hope (airing on SOAPnet) ended. They haven't run a credit roll, but I'm pretty sure the Actual Writers have returned to the building, as the soap-within-a-soap storyline began to air today. The writing is already much better, though now the writers have to dig the show out of the ditch the scab writers drove it into.

Of course, there are only four more months of 1981 episodes left to show before SOAPnet will either go back to 1975 (the beginning of Ryan's Hope) or pull the plug on the show altogether, so we'll see what happens towards the end of the year.

Hurrah for soap recovery. :-)

I still wish I knew who to blame for the ghastly writing during that strike! Those months included the killing off of an excellent character, the world's most lightning fast pregnancy, and the introduction of several irritating and/or boring new characters... :-)
