Members R Sinclair Posted April 6, 2012 Members Share Posted April 6, 2012 I agree. I think the "tier" is based on backstage popularity (such as "your character is a part of THIS group instead of THAT group") rather than actual acting. Nancy Lee Grahn made a joke (yet based in truth) about the fact that she wasn't able to submit herself in the GH "Lead Actress" category in the Daytime Emmys until Alexis started interacting with Sonny.

Members SweetPea36 Posted April 6, 2012 Members Share Posted April 6, 2012 Most definitely. On GH, a leading actress has to be paired with a mobette. That's mostly true for the men too. The only male lead who isn't a mobette is TG. I think that is probably changing now, but it has been that way for several years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members reallyhateskateonlost Posted April 6, 2012 Members Share Posted April 6, 2012 ^^^ That's annoying when he does that! Connie tells Sonny Jason yelled at her lmao Sonny doesn't have a clue on what's going on with her, Spinny and Matt teaming up to save Maxie oy , Dante's says no way to LooLoo's dumb idea of being undercover as a stripper. SoapNet is re running Tracy being in the loony-bin and is still better than some of the stuff that's on now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted April 6, 2012 Members Share Posted April 6, 2012 He seems to see her as garbage - the same way he sees just about everyone. Then again, I'm not sure how I'd feel about a person who can't remember close family relationships of the guy they've been "dating" for several years.

Members SweetPea36 Posted April 6, 2012 Members Share Posted April 6, 2012 Upper tier has been Geary, Benard, Burton, Wright and Monaco (Jackson when he was around, although he was a bit iffy). Easton and Howarth will probably be upper tier, if they're not already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cyberologist Posted April 6, 2012 Members Share Posted April 6, 2012 Probably Dominick Zapranga who had the highest eppy count in all of daytime at one time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SweetPea36 Posted April 6, 2012 Members Share Posted April 6, 2012 No, because he's paid far less than they are and he is still somewhat of a newcomer (and he's probably expendable). In large part, the tiers are based on who makes the most money. DZ might get a lot of episodes, but he is making a lot less per episode than those in the top tier. They also have contractually guaranteed minimums. Ingo Rademacher, Tyler Christopher and Nancy Lee Grahn were probably the second tier who came closest to the top tier. They had all been there for a considerable number of years so their union-set base salaries were higher. On top of that, IR and TC were both seen as leading men at one time, so they were able to negotiate from that vantage point. One of the reasons GH gave for firing them is that they were both expensive. Once LW got out of the pairing with IR, GH felt free to fire him.
