'It is frustrating, because it will prolong the strike, and we just want it to end,' Cristina Kinon, the co-head writer of 'The Drew Barrymore Show,' said of the series resuming production.

The frustration comes because Barrymore's lack of solidarity is in direct conflict with the otherwise united front of WGA members striking against Hollywood's studios and streamers.

Kinon said that Barrymore's return makes a degree of sense when considering the show's other staffers. Despite Barrymore's insistence that the show will uphold the strike because it is "in compliance with not discussing or promoting film and television that is struck of any kind," Kinon sees the situation differently because some of the writing on the show itself is performed by WGA members — and there isn't much of a difference between writing for daytime talk shows and writing for other types of entertainment.
