00:00 The Writers Guild of America strike is over and the Drew Barrymore show is set to return on October 16th
00:05 But three of the show's WGA writers have decided that they won't be coming back according to The Hollywood Reporter
00:12 Those writers are Chelsea White, Christina Kainon and Liz Coe
00:16 The three women were all co-head writers and have been with the show since the first season
00:21 Last month Barrymore came under fire when she said that her show would be resuming without its WGA writers
00:29 At the time Kainon said it is a bummer to hear that the show is going back because it sends a message that union writers
00:35 are not valuable.
00:37 "I understand that everybody has to do what they feel is best for them
00:40 For me and the WGA writers on the show, it's important for us to stick with our union
00:46 We deserve a fair contract. So we are here today outside,"
00:49 Christina Kainon told The Hollywood Reporter
00:52 When asked if they'd return to the Drew Barrymore show once the strike was over, White replied
00:57 "Maybe no comment."
00:59 The backlash Barrymore received prompted her to reverse course and pause production until the strike was over
01:05 The show is currently interviewing new writers according to The Hollywood Reporter
