I can only speak for NBC's soap, wherein all the actors were told to either take pay cuts or go bye-bye. Most of the veteran actors went bye-bye, and most of them have not worked steadily since. It could serve as a cautionary tale for ABC soap stars if they get told the same thing. -- Kevin M. (RPCV) -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
