George/Nick:Texan Charm #10

last year we had a writers' strike but the possibility of an actors' strike has been looming for awhile. probably since well before the actors' contracts expired

 

Yup, in June the actors will have been working without a contract for a year. Latest, I read was AMPTP gave their final offer and SAG rejected it. AMPTP doesn't feel that SAG should get a better deal than the writers and directors did.

However, SAG needs 75% of their members to vote for a strike, so I don't know if that will happen. I just looked and it looks like they're negotiating again and a draft to vote for a strike has been created.

Its coming down to the stuff on the internet.

As for our poor Georgie, I hope he really thinks it through before he gets surgery. Any surgery is major, but I wonder if it will help him in the long run? I think it helps some, but not others and I guess it depends where it is in the back (though it seems his in the lumbar area) and how bad it is.

I know one thing, I bet it's killing him that he can't golf. I couldn't imagine him being able to do that and would he be able to if he has the surgery? I would think that playing golf is an escape for him, to destress and just forget about real life for awhile. I would hate it if I lost that, my escape.

 

Why can Alan Rosenberg just sign the contract? The writers' didn't get what they want and what may he think he get what he want? CBS said, if the tv actors or actress asks for more money, they will get fired, becasue since economy is down. Alan should sign the contract. Strike is not going to help him to get more money and he can forget it about that.

 

Last I read, there was a real split in the membership over the contract. One half of the split would rather sign for the contract because a strike would look very bad given the state of the economy. The other half are behind the union 100 per cent.

 

He can't just sign the contract, it still has to be voted on by SAG members. He is also trying to make sure the actors (that aren't big names) get compensation they deserve too.

Smokey, I know what you mean about the TVGuides. I did find some at our grocery store, but dang it, I'll be looking everywhere for them. It's funny when you're not really interested in getting one, that's all you see, then you really want one and you can't find it. Even in the places your always seem them.

I don't know, maybe it's a conspiracy against us George Eads fans. They won't win, though, they won't win. They don't know what they're going up against! :lol:

 

smokey... there are tons of them at my local grocery store. When the new one comes out, I will get one for you and send it to you.

 

Susan,they were in alphabetical order...he is number two! I would bet my last dollar on it...if you hit view then he is right after what's his name on the Mentalist.

 

Speedy, I'm sure there are other things he can't do thanks to his back. (Get your mind out of the gutter. :devil: ) He probably can't ride any of his bikes like he did. Riding over the bumps and stuff would seriously jar your back, no?

 

It came!!! I have it in my hands!!!!!

His picture is in a fold out....good gosh is it amazing.

:drool: :drool:

 

Well unfortunately I can't scan it (the scan button doesn't work anymore)

You know the pic that's on tvguidemagazine.com that they used to tease the issue...well that's the pic in the mag just bigger.

The little article on the side talks about how not-Metrosexual he is. He mentions he doesn't mind being called sexy. He finds it flattering. The good natured ribbing on set and that he has cast and crew over his house occasionally for dinner. How he feels rather macho strapping on the vest and gun.

He talks about what type of girl he likes-no mention of anyone special in his life but of course that doesn't mean that there isn't

And just...the man is just amazing.
