Burtt posted on Monday, “Cast is in compliance with their SAG contract. The show is also a WGA signatory show & ABC will have to clarify how they are or are not using writers during the strike. This is an unfolding story in real time.”
Burke — who left the show after season 31, 17 years in — told Patel of whether she thinks the show should be postponed amid the strikes, “You know, I wasn’t really sure if the show was going to continue on, but, you know, a part of me, yes, I do believe that, I think.
“But then there’s also the people that would love to see the show and just to, you know, obviously put a smile on their face. But I just, I think out of respect to just the industry, right? Like, you know, Drew Barrymore just recently, I believe, pulled out. And I think in order for us to really make changes, we have to stick together 100%,” Burke added, referencing the backlash Barrymore faced and her eventual decision to pause her talk show’s return.
