Los Angeles - Members of the Writers Guild of America (WGA) will meet on Saturday to decide on whether to accept a prospective deal hammered out in closed door discussions with studio executives and TV producers, which could potentially end the strike that began on Nov. 5 and put writers back to work on Monday, according to various reports. The striking writers are seeking a larger share of profits from their works when distributed on the Internet, among other areas.

"I'm going to wait to hear what they have to say on Saturday before I decide," film and TV writer Jim Kouf told Variety. "I do not want us to prematurely accept a bad contract, after everything we've been through."

"I have some friends in certain places and I believe there was a handshake last Friday... it's possible they (the writers) will turn it down but it would be insane if they turned it down," former Disney head Michael Eisner told CNBC in an interview on Friday.
