Perhaps Waterbury's lawyer was hoping that the fear of further embarrassment in the wake of Peter Martins' resignation would induce the company to come to the table. Not so much. I would prefer to think that Waterbury was misled into thinking her case was better than it was.

Seconded. Thank you for posting the news, naomikage.

Still a giant chunk of change, especially at this time. Levine was asking for more but if you consider that he wouldn't have been working much, if at all, during the pandemic he pretty much got what he asked for -- even if, as the article says, he had to be talked into taking the settlement.

Aaannd...the Met paid $3.5 million to Levine to settle. Again, unsurprising. I'm sure he knows where lots of bodies are buried.

Thank you for posting, volcanohunter. Has anyone seen this?

Great article, Deflope. I think that DS is one of the best TV shows ever, on its own terms. Edmonds played Roger like some weird cross between Dickens and Coward. I remember somebody had to summon a doctor for some reason, and Roger took charge: “You’d better allow me. As one of the locals I can get one of the less addled quacks we have serving the countryside here.” Great show, I'm telling you. Soap fans of the era will recall Edmonds as Langley Wallingford, who was married to Ruth Warrick's Phoebe Tyler on "All My Children." They were a magnificent pair.
