Pay Up--Or Else


Cast members of hit mafia series The Sopranos are demanding higher salaries after the show's bosses extended the period over which they will broadcast the final 20 episodes.

Stars including Michael Imperioli, who plays Tony Soprano's hotheaded nephew Christopher, and Lorraine Bracco, who plays Tony's shrink, Dr. Melfi, are having their pay renegotiated after insisting that splitting the series is equivalent to two season's work rather than one, according to the Wall Street Journal. However, bosses at HBO disagree, claiming that all 20 episodes are still part of the same season and do not warrant double pay.

Sopranos star James Gandolfini has already successfully renegotiated himself a $1 million deal for each of the final eight shows, and more minor characters hope to follow suit. Despite the confusion, a spokesman for HBO is adamant cast members will not stage a walkout: "We're confident that everyone will be signed for the last eight episodes."

--What do you guys think of the season so far? I'm loving it.

You Said

So far -- 1st episode was great and the 2nd one, with that lame dream sequence, was a let down.

I love it...They need to make a spinoff with Paulie...I could watch that go all day.

Well, at least we know that Tony doesn't die---no way they would pay $1 mil an episode for a ghost. I did not care much for second episode either, but it appears that there will still be some action this season as the underlings fight for the scraps left available by Tony's coma.

I so agree, Hutch. Paulie's my fave.

The first episode was excellent, but everyone over here in the Nashville camp thinks that Tony is going to be comatose the rest of the season. I've heard many who think the sixth season will be nothing more than watching a power struggle emerge within the Soprano family with Tony finally waking up in the midst of chaos near the end.

I think it would have been more entertaining if they waited until the end to injure/kill Tony.
