NBC has apparently initiated their legal entitlement to only pay the actors “half of their paychecks for the next 5 weeks” as a result of the WGA strike halting production of Bionic Woman.

The impact of the strike begins to take effect – I hope none of them have massive mortgages to pay! Incidentally, if the strike lasts longer than 5 weeks, the actors have the legal right to leave their BW contracts and seek alternative forms of income – which means they can choose to leave the show permanently. This is bad news, because although the show cannot continue without any scripts, it also cannot continue if they lose the likes of Michelle Ryan, who is integral to the series. Unless of course they recast the part, but that’s too complicated and too messy for me to even consider right now.
