The twins were placed on contract because of the amount of time they were used during the 'on the run' storyline. It would have cost too much to pay them for each apparence they made, so they placed the twins on contract. Now, they're not needed as much anymore for the story, so they can go back to being on a recurring status.

This could also mean that they're going to SORAS Claire. I'm not saying that she's going to be a teenager, but I could see them aging her to about 4 or 5 with the Shawn/Belle/Philip triangle moving forward. I love the twins, but I would like to see a new actress come into the role.

Drew is right. They were used heavily in that story and prior to it so that was why they were contract. We haven't seen them much lately anyway.

I see you have LeAnn on contract, Jason. I saw on another board that Thaoo posted and said she wasn't contract yet so I am not sure what is going on. I hope she is though.

[JAS0N47]

It's not me who has them on contract, it's NBC's credits. That's how NBC has it, so that's how I list it. She's always had a contract position in the credits ever since she first appeared in June.

[DrewH]

Maybe Leann was given one after all.

[Ponz]

Maybe Leann's contract is only for the summer and Thaao wants her given a long-term deal.

[PhoenixRising05]

Oh, I know that. All I was saying was Thaoo mentioned a week or so ago she didn't have one. The whole situation is just weird. I trust your accuracy, Jason. I hope it is true. Perhaps Ponz is right and it's a summer contract or something.

Leann needs to be put on contract. Corday and Sony need to wake up and sign her to a contract. Hogan threw the ball in their court by going back and rewriting a 21 year old storyline. That tells me that Hogan is invested long term in Tony and Anna. It's up to Corday now.
