Screenwriters wait to learn terms of deal with Hollywood studios to end historic strike

Associated Press  

LOS ANGELES — Screenwriters waited Monday to learn what their five-month strike won and prepared for a possible return to work after their union reached an agreement with studio executives that could help end the walkouts that brought Hollywood to a standstill. Network shows including NBC’s “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” and ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” could return to the air within days. “But it’s nice to be near the end.” Writer and guild member Zayd Dohrn said many lives were upended during the strike and will now be changing again, but they’re used to it. The actors union said the guild continues to urge executives “to return to the table and make the fair deal that our members deserve and demand.” The writers’ deal was reached without the intervention of federal mediators or other government officials, which was necessary in previous strikes. More recently, writers had been targeting talk shows that were working around strike rules to return to air, including “ The Drew Barrymore Show,” “ Real Time With Bill Maher ” and “The Talk.” All reversed course in the face of picketing and pressure, and are likely to quickly return now.
