Writer's Block

This thought came to me... How did the writer's on DS deal with writer's block?
I know that all writer's experience it at one time or another.
But when a book writer experiences it... They have a bit of time to deal with it...
On a soap opera the stories are expected to be coming in quickly since they need material everyday.
So I kind of wondered if that was what happened to the stories that just seem to disappear with no plausible wrap up.
I know that DS had quite a few writer's, but I wonder if they all drew blanks at the same time sometimes?
