The writers strike is now in it’s 4th week, and as those of you who have been following Bionic-Blog and other TV show sites will know that it has all but crippled the production of Bionic Woman and most of your other favourite TV shows. HOWEVER..there appears to be good news on the horizon as various sources are reporting that a deal between the Writers Guild and the studio’s is on the cards. I must stress that it is still ’speculation’ at this stage but any news is good news at this stage. DeadlineHollywoodDaily.com have this to say:

“It’s already done, basically,” the insider describes. That’s because of the weeks worth of groundwork by the Hollywood agents working the writers guild leadership on one side, and the studio and network moguls on the other. I was told not to expect an agreement this week. But my source thought it was possible that the strike could be settled before Christmas.

Look, I don’t want to raise false hope here. But this source has been very accurate in the past. The negotiations starting today will have a news blackout, so don’t expect any significant leaks. But consider the real possibility there’s been a breakthrough. Still, I must caution that this is Hollywood

Again, I don’t want to advocate false hope but if this turns out to be true and a deal is struck before Christmas, then it’s very good news indeed for everyone concerned..and maybe, just maybe, we won’t have seen the last of Bionic Woman after this Wednesdays “Do Not Disturb” episode.

If you know or hear any substantiated news regarding this potential ‘deal’ do let me know: )

Update: One of our readers, ryansxpress, makes a seperate but interesting point that perhaps the fact that the UK’s ITV channel is running trailers for Bionic Woman, is a sign that they have inside info on the future of the show. Could this be the case? Is good news around the corner?
