STRIKE HURTING JOSHUA JACKSON

Joshua Jackson's first TV role since Dawsons Creek which went off the air in 2003, has been put in jeopardy by the Hollywood writers’ strike. Jackson was to have guest-starred as a doctor in several upcoming episodes of the U.S. hit show Grey’s Anatomy, but producers have now had to scrap the idea. However, TV bosses hope to recast Jackson in another role after the strike ends, which could be a long time away.The Writer’s Guild Of America called on its 12,000 members to stop working in early November after representatives failed to resolve a dispute over royalties.
