[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 292864, member: 57984"] Apparently, VP asked for financial parity with Patrick in 1987 and was only willing to re-sign for one year while Lorimar wanted two -- and they offered her a raise to make her the highest paid actress on television, but not equal to Patrick. When negotiations failed, Lorimar said "her demands were very high," and she said something very gracious like, "CBS and Lorimar have always been very generous with me." Linda asserted that Victoria was "too strong and independent" to ever come back to DALLAS . A year later, with the show slipping, the executives reportedly sent Larry out to offer Principal -- over dinner -- finally, parity with Duffy -... but by then, she wasn't biting. Let's not forget that they entitled the episode "The Mummy's Revenge" when Pam disappears... Well, the mummy was Pam... so what does [B]that[/B] say about the behind-the-scenes politics?
