So the original cast members will be making $900,000 per episode and The Girls are in negotiation to make something fair and close to the original cast...

...what do you think poor Kevin "Stuart" Sussman makes for his re-occuring guest shots?

People forget that season one Kunal Nayyar only made $20,000 per episode!

Melissa and Mayim should be happy with what they are offered - which we can guess will not be $900,000 per episode. They can be recast - been done before. I'd expect $500,000 pre, and extras.

Yes, they deserve more than $175,000 per and residuals. Give them development deals like they gave Johnny and Jim (Kaley took a bonus payment in stead) Now As producers Johnny has a pilot (Living Bibilically) and Jim has Young Sheldon.

That's what I have been thinking, although I have not really read into the story much, but CBS sees this show was such a cash cow, that the main ensemble should all be making a million an episode and there should be no reason why anyone should be taking a pay cut to save another actor's job.

This show will be in wide syndication for decades literally. Twenty years on several channels at least and then still making money after that. I say that the actors on that show are extremely, extremely lucky because (not to troll) most were nobodies before this program. Johnny Galecki was a part player on Roseanne years before this. If this show failed, these people would be waiting tables in Hollywood. But they should have a lot of power because like I said, this show will make CBS, Lorre and whoever up to a Billion dollars or more.
