THE DOLLAR INITIATIVE
It's not quite Hurley's lottery winnings, but it's a start. ABC is offering all of Lost's original cast members a substantial salary bump, in exchange for adding a year to each actor's contract. The preemptive proposal would up each actor's per-episode take to about $80,000 (up from a range of $20,000 to $40,000), putting them on par with the Desperate housewives. Also included in the deal is a monthly bail stipend.
