[QUOTE="Monzo, post: 441453, member: 19949"] Regarding Lucy in season 13, I assume the budget was so tight that there was no money for a new love interest for her. Alex Barton was perhaps the only real possibility, but did anyone really want to see Lucy unlucky in love yet again? Personally, I would have liked it if Lucy had run into Muriel (perhaps as a recast). Seeing Muriel married with children might have sparked envy in Lucy—she might even have developed a crush on Muriel’s husband—only to discover that he was beating his wife, prompting her to help Muriel and the children escape the abusive relationship. What interests me is how Charlene Tilton was paid for season 13. She appeared in 19 of the 27 episodes; was she paid only for those 19 episodes, or for every episode of the season? Furthermore, she often had only one or two scenes per episode. The other actors had to work hard for their money in season 13 and appeared frequently in each episode, so I wonder if Charlene Tilton was paid based on scenes or shooting days rather than for full episodes.
