Lost cast members get what they deserve

by Anna Johns, posted Jan 23rd 2006 10:14AM

Pay raises. The original cast members were each offered more money in exchange for adding another year to their contracts, which means another year living in Hawaii. Oh, I bet that decision was real tough. The raise bumps the actors up to about $80,000 per episode, which is a raise of anywhere from $20,000 to $40,000 per episode for some actors. The actors agreeing to another year are Evangeline Lilly (Kate), Josh Holloway (Sawyer), Naveen Andrews (Sayid), Dominic Monaghan (Charlie), Terry O'Quinn (Locke), Jorge Garcia (Hurley), Daniel Dae Kim (Jin), Yunjin Kim (Sun), and Harold Perrineau (Michael). Matthew Fox also signed for another year, but his contract was even sweeter with a reported $250,000 bonus. The only person missing from that list is Emilie de Ravin, who plays Claire. Not sure what that means. The raises put the core Lost characters on the same pay scale as all four Desperate Housewives.

Well if Claire's gone then that forces Aaron to be "raised by another" (or an other, depending on how you take the psychic's prediction), which as you may recall is bad news. Let's hope.

Heh, when I first read the title I thought you meant they were thrown in jail for drunk driving. :p

"Matthew Fox also signed for another year, but his contract was even sweeter with a reported $250,000 bonus."

Ugh. His character is the one I least like. I just wish they'd quit with the Kate/Jack stuff and show more Kate/Sawyer. God knows Sawyer's about 100 000 000 times more interesting than Jack is, but hey, gots to have at least one character to hate on this show, right?

Walt missing from the list is somewhat understandable, him being a kid and all. Well, that and the fact you hardly ever see him these days.

Hopefully they kill off the Claire character soon. That's the one person that always makes me cringe when on-screen.

Malcolm David Kelley, who plays Walt, is also missing from that list. But, then, he's also missing from the island, backwards-speaking quasi-supernatural hallucinations notwithstanding.
