Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted May 11, 2009 Members Share Posted May 11, 2009 Yeah, when their contract CYCLES are up. A contract and a contract cycle are two seperate things... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rhythmchyc Posted May 11, 2009 Members Share Posted May 11, 2009 Boooo!!! LOL. Why are they looking at their temporary budgets anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted May 11, 2009 Members Share Posted May 11, 2009 When has Nikki ever had an opportunity to become her own person? AFAIC, every time she tries showing Victor she doesn't necessarily need him, she winds up getting herself involved in one jam or another from which only Victor can free her. Honestly, I think Nikki owes Victor everything. She wouldn't be able even to wipe her own ass without him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted May 11, 2009 Members Share Posted May 11, 2009 No. Fair mean equal. If MTS is being asked to take a paycut of X percent, then EB and PB should be asked to do the same. If they are asked and have taken the cut, then I'm fine with MTS being let go if she doesn't follow suit. We may never know the truth of the situation unless MTS actually leaves and tells us what happened. Kind of the way we never knew that Genie Francis wasn't treated equally until well after the fact.

Members DRW50 Posted May 11, 2009 Members Share Posted May 11, 2009 After the first breakup with Victor, Nikki had long relationships with other men, she eventually had a career, with and without Victor's help. There were long periods of time where her only involvement with Victor was as the father of her children, and while some of those stories presented her in an unsympathetic way (like the affair with Cole Howard), they were still her stories, her point of view. Victor was often her weak spot, but he was also never entirely able to forget her, and she was never so pathetic that she could do nothing without him. Only recently has the writing turned into Victor essentially hating Nikki, and Nikki either being a punching bag or being offcamera. Nikki has never been a big independent woman, you're right, but I've always thought she was much stronger than many of the women who were paraded around as being independent, like Ashley.

Members Ann_SS Posted May 11, 2009 Members Share Posted May 11, 2009 All characters and actors are not equal. Some are more popular and have higher Q ratings. Very likely MAB does not view MTS as equal to PB and EB. She also likely does not viww PB as equal to EB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted May 11, 2009 Members Share Posted May 11, 2009 Part of the problem is Paul. Paul & Nikki should've never been paired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ann_SS Posted May 11, 2009 Members Share Posted May 11, 2009 The Nikki & Paul pairing was likely deliberate. It gave Nikki something to do. The whole Ashley and Victor romance came out of nowhere which looking back suggests that MAB never had big plans for Nikki on LML's stories were wrapped up.

Members DeeeDee Posted May 11, 2009 Members Share Posted May 11, 2009 That's the problem. Nikki & Paul have WAY too much baggage to be together. Victor & Ashley came WAY too soon after Sabrina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted May 11, 2009 Members Share Posted May 11, 2009 I heard that! Girlfriend's body wasn't even cold before Victor was keeping another woman's warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted May 11, 2009 Members Share Posted May 11, 2009 Maria should've done Victor/Nikki/Paul/Ashley as friends instead of romances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted May 11, 2009 Members Share Posted May 11, 2009 MAB fails miserably at romance. Too many couples with either no chemistry on this show, or they just aren't playing any romantic beats at all in established couples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Heyou Posted May 11, 2009 Members Share Posted May 11, 2009 It's true that all actors are not equal and that means talent and pay however, if one of their top performers is being asked to take a cut then they should follow suit with the rest. Personally, I couldn't stand seeing MTS leave without taking Braeden with her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
