That’s not really scabbing?
Is Ryan Reynolds a scab because he’s still filming Deadpool 3?

But they didn’t, all 3 have operated under the unions own rules here.

No, Maher and Berrymore were told explicitly that if their shows came back during the strike they would be scabbing.

Talk shows are scripted. Scripts are written by writers. If non-union writers wrote the scripts while union writers were on strike, that's scabbing by definition.

Deadpool 3 is filming using a shooting script written by WGA members. Barrymore and Maher would have started filming with themselves replacing the work their writers would’ve done.

Except they’re not? Filming was shut down as soon as the SAG-AFTRA strike started.

As for during the writer’s strike, I believe they could still film what was written. They just couldn’t write more or change the script. So I;d guess the idea might have been to film as much as they could, then do rewrites and reshoots after the strikes end.
