It’s all about the Benjamins, baby

by AmyD

So what exactly were the repercussions of Isaiah Washington’s recent bad behavior? Let’s see, there was a trip to rehab and what else? During his acceptance speech at the 38th Annual NAACP Awards over the weekend, he said last year when he won he felt deserving, but this year he was just grateful to be there at all. So maybe he really has changed his tune. I hope for the sake of the rest of the cast he has. And besides, I want to see what’s next for Burke.

But, it does appear that he’s getting the proverbial wrist slap from the network in the form of less cash than his castmates. Sources are claiming that, “Isaiah knows it is his fault that he may not get the fat raise he was going to get. ABC doesn’t have to give him anything - he is under contract for seven years - and this is going to cost him millions. It’s just a bitter pill he is going to have to swallow.”

Hmm…. this sounds about right. I’m sure we’ll continue to hear all kinds of rumors on contract renegotiations for the next few weeks. I’ll be glad when all that off screen drama is over with!
