Members of the WGA West attending an informational meeting on terms of the tentative contract Saturday night showed the same sense of prevailing optimism apparent at a similar meeting in New York earlier in the day, with all those surveyed expressing hope for an imminent end to the writers strike.
There appeared to be near-unanimous sentiment from those arriving for the meeting at the Shrine Auditorium in downtown Los Angeles that the tentative agreement should be accepted. Reports dribbling out after members began exiting the meeting seemed to point toward a possible return to work by the writers by at least midweek.
But notably, many of those arriving at the Shrine expressed their interest in hearing details of the deal terms at the meeting.
"I'm definitely ready to take it," said Jossann McGibbon, a showrunner on the USA Network miniseries "Starter Wife".
"I have a feeling (the strike) is going to get settled this week," said Ian Gurvitz, a writer on "Becker" and other sitcoms.
