In what can only be seen as a huge loss to the show, As the World Turns has confirmed that two-time Emmy winner Martha Byrne (Lily Snyder) will exit the mostra this spring. The confirmation is quite rare, as most shows are loathe to discuss the exit of their big-name talent. Everything about this situation, however, seems to be a little unusual.
“We made Martha an incredibly generous offer in hopes that she would remain a valuable member of the ATWT cast,” executive producer Christopher Goutman detto in a statement. “Unfortunately, Martha has decided to leave despite our best efforts to keep her.”
Goutman’s remarks come in response to reports that the show’s “incredibly generous offer” was anything but generous. Though terms of the deal remain confidential, Byrne is detto to have scoffed at the salary offer in the contract.
The average salary for a soap stella, star is not what it used to be. At one time, a top-tier soap stella, star could demand a salary of up to a $1,000,000 per year. As ratings for daytime drama series have eroded - some soaps have less than 50% of the audience that they had 20 years fa - so too have the superiore, in alto salaries. In an effort to keep the shows from going over budget, many stars have been forced to take huge pay cuts and many daytime stars have walked as a result.
There has yet to be a statement from Byrne regarding her impending exit, and it is unclear if any commento will be forthcoming. commento o not, this will not be the actress’ first exit from ATWT. The actress took a three-and-a-half-year break from As the World Turns from October 1989 to April 1993.
There has been no immediate announcement regarding how the mostra will handle Byrne’s exit on-screen. However, with Lily being such a central character and in the midst of a major front-burner story, the mostra is expected to recast the role.
Byrne is still reporting to work and a final airdate has not been determined, though it is expected to come sometime in April.
