I'm sure some get paid more per than others but when you've got someone like David who has been in it a lot, it adds up. I would expect some of the more senior actors have a guaranteed number of episodes per year.

(Remember when Brando got 20 times the pay of Christopher Reeve for a cameo in Superman?)<br />On a soap, it stands to reason that, barring incredible charisma, an actor who has been on forever has more fans tuning in to see them than a newcomer. Plus, an older actor has negotiated several contracts beyond whatever is Marichahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00295287855690799143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-78355525170151782692017-04-12T17:15:25.780+01:002017-04-12T17:15:25.780+01:00Another aspect is paying the younger actors enough...Another aspect is paying the younger actors enough to keep them on board. It might not be about their workload or competence but how popular they are on social media. The followers of the individual hopefully become fans of the soap and that's very attractive to advertisers. I sometimes wonder whether celebrities write their own tweets. Nothing wrong with that, it's all big business now.Humpty Dumptyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08968124501003519978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-91592705981382615372017-04-12T17:00:40.255+01:002017-04-12T17:00:40.255+01:00Just because Bill and Barbara are older shouldn...Just because Bill and Barbara are older shouldn't necessarily mean the get paid the most.
