Yep, you're right. I found this article by Xavier Toups on SON from 2008: February 13, 2008 EXCLUSIVE: Soap Opera Network has learned the names of soap opera writers who declared "Financial Core" status to keep on working during the strike. By going "Fi-Core," these writers can never be members of the WGA again but they continue to pay reduced union dues and the Guild is obligated to continue providing services such [as] health insurance, pension and residuals. Though they can still work on Guild projects, Guild members w ill not be keen to hire them. Here is the list of "Fi-Core" writers: "All My Children": James Harmon Brown & Barbara Esensten (returned to work in late December) "The Bold and The Beautiful": Kay Alden "Days Of Our Lives:: Hogan Sheffer (went "Fi-Core" in early January), Meg Kelly (went "Fi-Core" in late November), V ictor Gialanella, Mark Christopher Higley "General Hospital": Garin Wolf (went "Fi-Core" immediately), Michael Conforti "One Life To Live": Gary Tomlin, Fran Myers, Jeanne Marie Ford, Michelle Poteet Lisanti (all went "Fi-Core" immediately) "Passions": James E. Reilly, Shawn Morrison, Pete T. Rich (went "Fi-Core" immediately) "The Young and The Restless": Josh Griffith, Maria Arena Bell, Paula Cwikly (all went "Fi-Core" immediately) ... UPDATE: April 18, 2008 The WGA released a letter today naming more writers that I didn't originally have. The list of writers are: "The Bold and The Beautiful": Ryan Forest Roman John DiMera Alamain Brady Black F. Smith "Days Of Our Lives": Dena Higley (went "Fi-Core" just before the strike ended in February) "Passions": Marlene Clark Poulter, Clem Egan, Darrell Ray Thomas Jr. http://www.soapoperanetwork.com/2008/02/breaking-news-list-of-financial-core-writers |
