  • ABC Daytime scrapped a storyline on OLTL which was to depict a school shooting rampage the day the Virginia Tech massacre occurred on April 17, 2007.[2]
  • The Writers Guild of America East filed arbitration suits against ABC-D, claiming that they violated the strike-termination agreement by retaining replacement writers who filled in during the strike on All My Children instead of bringing back the writers who had been on strike.

“The strike-termination agreement does not allow the retention of replacement writers in lieu of allowing striking writers to return to their jobs. [ABC-D] are clearly violating this agreement,” said Ira Cure, senior counsel for the WGA East, in a statement. “They have left us no other option but to file arbitrations to ensure that our members will be afforded their rights outlined under this agreement.” Broadcasting & Cable: Arbitration Suit Aganinst ABC-D Megan McTavish (born April 30, 1949 in Pembroke, New Hampshire) is an American soap opera writer, most known for her head writing stints on All My Children. ...
