Well, we didn't hear anything about SN/MBE taking a paycut. And I personally wouldn't guess that Mascolo, Penghlis, Reynolds or Jones make more than SN or MBE. |

Really? I would. I would place a lot of money on the fact that Mascolo making more than Nichols and Evans. Penghlis too. He seems like a real diva that would want a specific amount of money. If Nichols and Evans made a lot of money, I would like to think they would've been cut before Hall and Hogestyn. That's why I don't think they make that much. They've been on for far too long, doing absolutely nothing, for them to be making a good amount fo money without being cut. |

In terms of who was cut before whom, I think I saw posted somewhere (maybe in a thread here??) that it was probably based on contract cycles. In other words, it wouldn't make sense financially for the show to cut someone in the middle of his/her contract cycle. So I wouldn't say Drake and Deidre's being fired "before" anyone else means anything in terms of how much money they're making. In fact, I'd guess that any firings were probably all planned at the same time. It was probably someone's job to formulate the budget for the renewal, so I bet most of the decisions were made at that point. With Mascolo and Penghlis, they seem to be onscreen much less than S&K are (though I could be wrong - that is just my perception - but I guess we could count episodes), but if I'm right about that, then that would tell me that SN/MBE have a higher guarantee than TP or JM. So even from that perspective, I'd guess they'd be a bigger cost savings to the show to cut. (I'm not disagreeing by the way that TP and JM are probably up there in salary... I just think MBE/SN may be making more.) |

I hope SN`MBE are fired so they can get back to being on a real soap. |

I'd be sad to lose Lexie again, but the show never does anything good with her, so whatever. All the rest, I could easily do without as well. Most of them could find work on other (better) soaps. |

Nope,you're not the only one. I love Bope. Sadly, the way they've been written lately, I wouldn't care if they were written off the show either. :( |

In regards to who appears more, I have to disagree. While Penghlis doesn't show up as much, Mascolo definitely makes more apparences that Nichols and Evans. Nichols and Evans are only one when it calls for Stephanie to need her parents, or for Bo and Hope to need friends to conversate with. Stefano, on the other hand, has EJ, Lexie, Tony, etc. to interact with more. |

Bope? Is that what you guys are calling them? That's a horrible name for them. Let's call them Ho!!! |

Hmmm... now I really want to count episodes, lol. Not disagreeing about who interacts with whom, but just from watching the show, I feel like S&K are on more than Stefano. But as I said, that's just a perception. Oh you know what - I'll use Jason's site - he does episode counts. Will check and let you know... |

Ok here we go. For 2008 (which I understand may not accurately reflect contract cycles, if someone's contract cycle crosses the beginning of a calendar year, etc) - http://www.jason47.com/days/2008episodes.html - MBE was on 110 episodes. - SN was on 100 episodes. - Joe Mascolo was on 61 episodes. - Thaao Penghlis was on 45 episodes. |

But you also have to take into effect the fact that Mascolo left in January, and didn't come back until August and he's still in over half the episodes that Evans and Nichols were in. Just imagine if he would've been there the whole year. |

LOL! That is what they are calling Chloe nowadays! Actually Nelson, I am getting the vibe it is James Scott for some weird reason. You said someone was sort of right, and his name was mentioned. I am so intrigued...however, I do find it is so stupid for them to announce firings, hear uproar, listen to threats of quitting to watch, let it die down, then announce more firings. Just get it all done!!! In my dream world, Payla could disappear...I would hardly notice. Not like they have been on since Ava last spring. Biggest surprise/biggest relief is Ali Sweeney...her soap acting is low rung, and her soap writing is worse, but it ain't gonna happen. Worst case: AZ...probably because Nelson is comparing her to AS..and AS ain't gonna take it!!! Told ya you better tone that down!!! |

Oh right, very good point!! I just checked and he was on 15 in January and 2 in February. So that's about 6 months worth (if we leave out February) - Jan Aug Sept Oct Nov Dec. So, you win on that point. :smile: Stefano is on more than Steve & Kayla are. JM seems to be on 10 episodes per month based on those counts (even though I'm sure it was two contracts), and SN/MBE are on a bit less. |

I think another issue about whether SN/MBE would be cut as compared to JM or TP is that I don't think the writers would ever cut SN without MBE or vice versa. So I bet their salary as a couple is being considered. My guess is that they *may* keep Stefano around in a reduced role, but I'd guess that TP, SN and MBE are probably all out the door. Dena does not seem to like writing for Tony at all. |

You know what? F%ck it. I'm going to go with James Scott. Just because I think it would be the goddamn funniest thing ever. Nobody would be expecting it, and it would kill the last remaining strong fanbase on this show. So of course, they'll fire EJ. Before all of this is over, I'm staking a hundred bucks on it. Right here and and now. Yeah. I think they're that stupid. Edited by brimike, Jan 5 2009, 10:33 PM.

Hmm...who could be cut next? For some reason(though maybe this will be the point where they finally cut them, I don't know) I don't see Mary Beth Evans/Stephen Nichols being cut....mainly because they have survived THIS long. Several shake ups, and they are still here. I don't know if Corday likes them, if Higley likes them, or if Tomlin likes them...but it seems like with every writer they are kept but only have a brief story(brainwashing, Ava) or do nothing. Thaao Penghlis I could see...or even Joseph Mascolo. Now he's been used far more in the past few months, but like Drew said, they probably cost ALOT. I recall reading somewhere Thaao took a paycut, but I think he's still expensive. Mascolo is *definitely* expensive. I remember, during the 2006-2007 period where his return was constantly rumored after Joe left B&B, it was very often said he wouldn't take a paycut if he returned. And while he's been used under Higley and Whitesell, Higley shipped him off the moment she got there, and Ed was the one who brought him back. I wouldn't be surprised to see Shawn Christian or Nadia Bjorlin go either...though I'd prefer Nadia stay, because we NEED females in her age bracket. She's one of the very very few left(and I consider her younger than Sami and Nicole). Oh and if Higley's there and has power(though I expect Tomlin and Whitesell to have a good amount, I feel more and more of their vision on the show everyday, even if there's still that....Higley feel there), I doubt Renee and James are going anywhere. Not with the autism story, unless she ends that. It may be boring but I think thats one of Higley's most notable stories this time around. Edited by daysfan, Jan 5 2009, 10:48 PM.
