A Castle Season 8 With Fillion But Not Katic? Seriously? | Gossip & Gab

Interesting comment on Bones past contract negotiations….

A far better model for ABC to consider for Castle – at least in terms of paying their actors and valuing their input – is the FOX series Bones. The stars of that show are Emily Deschanel and David Boreanaz – with Deschanel playing the title character. Due to his name recognition and fan base Boreanaz initially made significantly more that Deschanel when the show started. (Sound familiar?) However, when their contracts ended in season eight, they were renewed with equal salaries for seasons 9-10 (www.businessinsider.com). Both were also given full producer status back in season 4 – which allowed them to have some input on their characters USA Today. Being that the show recently celebrated its 20oth episode and is currently considering a season 11 it seems like co-star equality is a smart move for success.
