[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 356392, member: 57984"] Oh, yes, that. Some original castmembers, especially the leads, have self-protective clauses in their contracts (as did Forsythe and Evans) that state that no actor or new castmember who comes along (like a Joan Collins) later can be paid more than they are. A lot of agents negotiate things like that if they can. Unless they're billed as "Special Guest Star" which is the only way around the issue. So when Heather came into MELROSE PLACE a season late, fresh from show like DYNASTY and at a peak in her salary-demanding status, they had to bill her as "Special Guest Star" [I][B]for seven years [/B][/I]in order to pay her sufficiently. Even Locklear joked about the billing. [/QUOTE]
