:::yawn::: The former Passions boys aren't paid alot. That's why we get to 'enjoy' scenes with Rafe and Sami's son (another cheap young newbie we will be seeing a lot more of... as I watch a lot less of DAYS!)

The boys from passions may not be top tier, but they are not bottom tier either. GG has 9 years or so soap experience as a lead character that was popular with fans of that show. EM came in as a recast for a main char and took off well with fans as well. You may not like them, you may have hated passions, but they are not cheap newbies. But then are not over payed vets either, no. I really dont care how much they are payed, both characters are supporting players in the main storyline and are doing well, much to my shock as i wasnt big on either when they were on passions. I honestly have no idea how much they are payed, but i really dont think they are as cheap as you make it seem, esp since both had other soap offers.

Will is a cheap newbie. True that.

Well i did find how much NBC seems to pay per week for the show--

The Peacock was most recently shelling out $1.7 million-$1.8 million a week for the show.

OLTL has always been considered the "forgotten soap" in some respect. Out of all the soaps on the air now, it's the one with that's probably least embedded in pop culture. A lot of people simply know it as the soap that's between AMC and GH - it has traditionally been overshadowed by those two.

Well said.

Its become a cult soap and it never had that one moment that defined it or brought it into the mainstream
