I still have PSTD from Sheila Carter's first years on Y&R.  I never stopped loathing her and she has never seemed human to me.  Nothing B&B has ever done has changed that for me.

That part. 

Hopefully, they've staggered the contract cycles of the initial 20 cast members, so they can't potentially have 20 defections in the same month.  Presumably, Ted is on a different cycle than the other 19, since he's a recast.  But you wouldn't wanna create a situation where you could lose Vernon, Anita, Nicole, Dani, Martin, Naomi, Chelsea and Kat in a single month.  

Very true.

Oh gosh what a disaster it would be to lose multiples of the main cast in a short period.

I hadn't thought of contracts but now I'm curious how long everybody's contracts were for. I wouldn't imagine all would be the same but my guess would be 2-4 years max.

I wanna see Leslie get her just desserts in some "poetic" manner. 

Maybe in February of 2027, Laura will be driving to work across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, see a WIG lying in the road, think it's a kitty-cat, swerve to avoid hitting it, accidentally strike Leslie's new Mercedes-Benz, and send Leslie head-first into the Atlantic, lol.  

🤣  That would be hilarious and perfect.

Remember the 13 week cycle rule, but I agree that it would be a disaster if all of those performers opted to leave when their contracts are up for renewal.

I do think that the actors playing Vernon and Anita have different contract terms and outs that some of the other performers do not have.

The 13 week cycle is more a benefit for the show than the performers though.
