Grey's Anatomy stars get raises...except Isaiah Washington

So it was pay raise time over at "Grey's Anatomy" which has had almost as much drama off-screen lately as it has on-screen. Ellen Pompeo, who plays the title character on the show, will now make nearly $200,000 per episode. SAG winner Chandra Wilson, a far more talented actress in my opinion, was given a raise to about $125,000 per show - the same amount that James T. Pickens Jr., who plays the chief of staff on the show, will be getting. Hottie Justin Chambers and openly gay T.R. Knight are close to new signing new pacts for the same amount as Wilson and Pickens.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, terms of the new deal are retroactive, going back to the first episode of this season. There are 22 episodes in a season. You guys do the math. I'm figuring they are making a lotta cash!
The contract status for Isaiah Washington was not clear. It has been rumored that he might continue on the show without a raise in light of the recent controversy surrounding his use of a homophobic slur, but his communication with the show's producer, ABC TV Studio, has been kept under wraps.
Yet to close new deals are Patrick Dempsey, Sandra Oh and Katherine Heigl. Details on Heigl's stalled contract renegotiations were leaked to the media late last month making it clear that she was not happy with whatever bump she was being offered. Apparently the supporting players headed into the renegotiation process as a group that quickly dissolved, leading to individual contract talks between each cast member and the studio. Clearly they are not as tight a group as the cast of "Friends" which always, without fail, negotiated as a group, and got so rich that even if none of them ever have another hit, they are more than set for life.
