Lots of people are applauding Frantz, which seems so crazy to me. <br /><br />I know that the clause in EB's (and, I guess, everyone's) contract is legal. However, I would be willing to bet that if had asked for a raise at given point during the past 29 years he would have been told to wait until the end of the contract term to open negotiations... <br /><br />--BobAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522232293231604653.post-56592634764879512812009-10-15T12:24:06.093-07:002009-10-15T12:24:06.093-07:00That would have been me, Robert.

I remember going to see Titanic the weekend it opened and being one of several people in the packed theater to say "Victor Newman!" and "Doctor Bombay!"Snapperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03141538240915482048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522232293231604653.post-20618995238068214542009-10-15T12:01:46.424-07:002009-10-15T12:01:46.424-07:00I'd be very curious to know how much of a payc...I'd be very curious to know how much of a paycut they were forcing onto Braeden. From what I gather, he made a counter-offer which was rebuffed by CBS/Sony/some combination of the two.<br /><br />I know Jess Walton and Melody Thomas Scott took paycuts in past months, and wonder how much of a percentage less they're making now.<br /><br />And how are all these paycuts being spread across the board? Are they making executives, producers, and other staff take paycuts as well? I'm sure Braeden was making a fine salary. I get the impression he probably would have been willing to negotiate if the situation had been handled in a professional manner rather than through a curt email.<br /><br />I still think getting rid of some superfluous cast members who add nothing to the show and spreading that money around to important cast members makes more sense. No one sees Adrienne Frantz in some other project and says, "OMG! That's Amber! I love her!" But people do see Eric Braeden in other projects and say, "Hey, there's Victor Newman!" (I'm betting anyone who saw "Titanic" in theaters heard this outburst from fellow moviegoers upon Braeden's cameo as John Jacob Astor!)Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00241796091443881740noreply@blogger.com
