Frankly, IMHO, they should have not hired EC, and used his salary to booster Adam's to keep in the fold (if he IS leaving and money IS the issue)
Again until I hear officially he is gone, he isn't gone.
Miamiwolfe, you and I don't agree on lots of things, but we are in solidarity on this one. I agree, if money was the issue, then EC should NEVER have been hired and until I hear it officially...and Eva LaRue is not an official source from where I stand, Adam isn't gone until he's gone. Does anyone but me think that the possible and rumored departure could be temporary as in him making a movie and needing away time so that both things can be achieved? I'm dangling hope here because I really enjoy Adam Rodriguez and find it almost insane for him to not sign on for another year at least. He's got the stoylines and the girl. Hello! Things are good, why leave?
Let's assume money is the issue, if there is budgetary concerns and we can't get Adam more money, why spend the money on someone else?
What would interest me is how much money EC is getting. If it is more than Adam, maybe that is why he is upset. The new guy, who hasn't been on the show as long and hasn't paid his dues automatically gets a bigger salary?!:scream: I obviously don't know this for a fact but it is a theory. Again Adam being on the show for awhile, one would think they could put a clause in his contract to let him pursue outside interests as long as he informed the TPTB ahead of time, so they can adjust the stories to exclude him for several episodes. It might actually benefit everyone; he can make movies and the other characters, who aren't getting the same amount of storylines, can develop and get more screen time while he is gone. I have problems with people that turn down a steady paycheck for a gamble, especially in times like these. Hopefully, things will resolve and Adam will be back.
