Smallville Season 7

November 2, 2007: Industry Strikes... Will They Affect “Smallville”?

For some time now we've heard about the possibility of industry strikes and how they might derail up-coming movies, but with the Writer's Guild of America (WGA) sanctioning the strike process this week, little has been said about how this might affect TV shows.

Will "Smallville" be affected by the strikes? Quite possibly according to Executive Producer Al Gough.

"Yes, it will affect all scripted TV", Al Gough told the Superman Homepage. "Not sure what this means for the season, that depends on how long the strike lasts. But if it's a long one, you won't see new episodes after the middle of February."

"Please understand that no writer wants a strike," adds Gough, "but the issues we are fighting for will determine not only our future in the digital age, but the future of generations of writers to come. If we don't take a stand now, that future will look pretty bleak."

If the strikes do impact on "Smallville" what will it mean for the current season?

"If the season is cut short, we have planned for a cliffhanger", explains Al Gough. "That's all I can really say right now."
