Those salaries in LA seems very difficult to manage. The smart actI’m Ed book other acting gigs or have other jobs. I know Martha Madison mentioned working as a bartender while playing Belle and of course everybody is in real estate. The OG of this though is Kate Linder who has always kept her flight attendant job.

It is funny you should mention that because I follow Michael Maelor (ex-Kyle Y&R) on social media, so I know from the neighborhood which building he lives in.  Given the percentage taken by agents, managers, and taxes, his take home pay makes him barely eligible for the rent in that building.  But, one would imagine that in the 1990s an actor with a three year contract on a soap could at least afford to buy a 1 br condo.

Yeah, being a regular on a soap isn't the lucrative job it once was.   A couple of years ago, people seemed horrified that the girl who played Hillary Curtis on Y&R wasn't given a raise.  I figured she was really being valued if she wasn't asked to take a pay cut.

Soap actors do have the benefit of receiving residuals when a soap airs overseas. The B&B actors basically have a second source of income from international airings of the show. Then again, if you're only in 78 episodes a year, even that only goes so far... I can see it only making a difference if you're in 3-4 episodes a week with a $5,000k guarantee. One of the B&B actors lives in a mansion in the Hancock Park area of Los Angeles which is close to the studio. Beautiful house, so the actor & their spouse must be doing just fine!

    • The recast really tanked the character.  I was team Sophia when Madelyn Kientz played her.  I liked her more than Holly.  Now Sophia just walks around on the verge of tears looking meek and scared.  I think now that the show has recast and aged Ari, Sophia is probably on her way out.

    • I apologize in advance for asking y'all questions about who half these people are or what they're doing as I reenter this show after quite awhile.
    • Speaking of that story, it led me to this scene, which was part of a story I despised (it was one of the reasons I would skip wide swathes of the show at this time), but is another reminder of what a good actress Kim Zimmer was when given the material. I was a fan of Edmund's in spite of the many bad things he did - I think I was mostly just a fan of DAM, but I did often feel sorry for Edmund - but this story is one time where if Reva had put a cap in his ass, I would have been perfectly satisfied. There are so many stories Edmund survived that by many rights he shouldn't have...again, credit to DAM here. Maybe he had his own version of the Bradley Cole stans. Good for them. I always thought Mark Dobies (RIP) and Kim had some decent chemistry, even if the relationship was one of many discarded for "always." This for me was Beth's absolute dumbest story, which is saying a hell of a lot. I wonder how Beth Chamberlin felt about it. She always had chemistry with DAM, but chemistry was not enough for her to wander around that cardboard castle for months enabling and being such a smug princess.

    • Not much happened today, but there were a lot of good scenes. It was nice seeing people have someone to talk to about everything that’s been going on, especially Chad and EJ. I liked that Chad was there for him after what happened with Johnny yesterday. EJ convincing Chad to vote for him at the board meeting could lead to something interesting happening as well.  I also enjoyed seeing Kayla, Julie and Maggie all going head to head with Xander. The writing seems to have improved for all three of them.  NuRachel did a good job too. Just the way she delivers her lines sounds less evil than the other one did lol I still think that there’s something more to what she told Brady and Kristen. And I’m glad that Brady ripped EJ too. It was very well deserved, and I hope it was the first time of many. Belle was a little stupid in that scene though.  Btw, I didn’t expect the fate of the hospital to be all up to Brady lol  And, we got an update about Bo. It would be nice to see it though. I’m enjoying all these storylines, but too much of it seems to be happening offscreen. 
    • It's those Shayne genes, as Reva is also healed from blindness about 5 years later.
