Blind Item #9
This B+ list mostly television actress got two of her co-stars to join her in a demand for a raise for their pay cable show. Instead of a raise, the show got canceled. It was on the fence of getting renewed and the actress pushed it over the edge for everyone else, cast and crew.
Kristin Bell-House of Lies maybe?
ReplyDeleteThe Leftovers is in it's last season--don't know if that was planned or not, maybe Liv Tyler?
ReplyDeleteSo hope this is McPhee and that Scorpion is cancelled.
ReplyDeleteMasters of Sex was just cancelled.
ReplyDeleteLizzy Caplan?
The Leftovers was planned to end after season 3. This is probably Shameless and Emmy Rossum. The entire cast's contracts end after the current season, and there has been no announcement by Showtime of season 8, when normally, toward the end of a current season, there has been.The ratings have also been plunging.
ReplyDeleteYeah, on second though I guess this seems more likely than Shameless, though a B+ is a generous ranking for Lizzy Caplan.
ReplyDeleteAgreed. I'd say she's B.
ReplyDeleteWas going to say mos or penny dreadful
ReplyDeleteMasters Of Sex. Dunno the actress.
ReplyDeleteApparently, she didn't know that if (any business) isn't making money, it goes away.
ReplyDeleteShe should have done a little more footwork before asking for a raise.
Erika got it. Thank you, site delay.
ReplyDeleteMaster of Sex on showtime.
ReplyDeletelizzy caplan probably the one who rallied for a raise.

Lizzy Caplan, not celebrating Christmas....
ReplyDeleteDespite how blind is written it is probably a lot more complex than portrayed. So leads should take less $$ than they feel they deserve for the benefit of everyone else? Studios/producers lie all the time about profitability of shows so maybe they didn't know this was the breaking point. Producers may have cancelled show anyway even without the raise requests. As in most ventures the people can only look out for themselves. Sometimes it blows up and sometimes it doesn't. Cast and crew will most likely land another show but at end of the day not her responsibility- it's the business they are in.
ReplyDelete+1. There are some lose ends which would be nice to tidy up but I can see her doing this.
ReplyDeleteCorrect. Enty acts like THIS would be the last straw for an already established show that the company has invested millions in producing and promoting.

ReplyDeleteIf you are good at what you do, as a crew member, you will get higerd again. Its not like new t.v. shows don't go to the air every few months....
ReplyDeleteAnd pleanty of other people loose their jobs too, office workers, sales, waiters... Its called Capitalism. And its a hellova lot better than the opposit.
(Addressed to th the prude, puritan, hypocritical enty, who wrote this blind).
Not pay cable (Scorpion is on CBS)
ReplyDeleteLmao anyone who thinks Scorpion is getting cancelled anytime soon is insane. It's the top Monday drama
