Of course.
'Duck Dynasty': New episodes will include Phil | Inside TV | EW.com
Regardless of the current controversy and behind-the-scenes tension, A&E has every intention of keeping Phil Robertson on the air.
A source close to the situation confirmed that when the network resumes airing new episodes of Duck Dynasty starting Jan. 15, footage featuring the Robertson patriarch will indeed remain intact. The network also hopes the media and fan furor will cool down over the holidays and that tensions over shooting future episodes can then be resolved.
Theres no negotiation to have; were doing the show, said an insider close to the situation. Well figure out a solution. Its just not going to happen overnight. Everybody will take a break for the holidays and regroup afterward. Thats probably the smartest thing for everyone to do. Time heals a lot of wounds.
The Robertson family hasnt sounded as optimistic, with a source close to the Louisiana duck call clan telling E!: Theyre an extremely tight-knit family and theyre not going to let this get in the way. [Phil] is the reason for their successtheyre not going to abandon him. Theyre also not about to let anyone threaten their religious beliefs. A representative for the family could not be reached for comment.
Gee, I hope they weren't going to violate their contracts.
Nah, the filmage is done for the 2d Season and everyone makes money.
