Message: <blockquote data-quote="Alexis" data-source="post: 220946" data-attributes="member: 68">I have often wondered about residuals for shows like this. Does anyone have any idea how that is worked out? Like would all actors get the same flat rate of payment? Would it only be the main cast or would every actor on screen get a payment? Although a different kettle of fish, I remember reading that the cast of DYNASTY were encouraged to sign contracts where they would give up their residual rights for a lump sum payment instead as they thought that soaps wouldn't repeat well or something like that. Although I am sure DYNASTY was repeated all over the world many times. Are all contracts different also. Look at how many times Prisoner Cell Block H has been re-run. I know those are international shows but I've just always wondered what residual payments may be?</blockquote>
