Top-rated show in daytime? It's not getting chopped. Sony's been trying to make its soaps cut budgets for years now. "Days" took care of it in one fell swoop by axing two of its highest-paid leads. Y&R wants to keep everyone, so they started with the pay cuts. A lot of actors were willing to take a little less at contract time, but this mid-contract thing is just bizarre. If memory serves, most soap contracts are structured in 13-week cycles, but those are more for the purpose of taking actors off-contract.
Eric Braeden will be back. It'll take some months, but this is -- as I'm sure a friend of mine in the production office is eye-rolling as we speak -- Eric being Eric. He likes to work, and I frankly can't see anyone else hiring Mr. Mumbles long-term. (I try to get out, but they keep pulling me back in...) --Rose On Fri, Oct 9, 2009 at 9:57 AM, James Stanley Barr < james.stanley.b...@gmail.com> wrote: > > http://edition.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/TV/10/08/eric.leaves.young.restless/index.html?imw=Y&iref=mpstoryemail > Eric Braeden leaving "Y&R".
