After the adult stars of “Modern Family”
settled their contract dispute with 20th Century Fox Television, the
young cast members of the show are now seeking salary raises. Words are,
Sarah Hyland, Nolan Gould, Rico Rodriguez and Ariel Winter will begin
their negotiations with the studio this week.
Sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that
representatives for the child actors will be seeking big raises for
their clients in exchange for adding an eighth season onto their
seven-season contracts. Though so, their negotiations are not expected
to be as intense as the adult stars’ and won’t likely cause a delay to
the production of season 4, which will start Monday, July 30.
It is also said that Gould, Rodriguez and Winter have considered to follow the adult stars’ strategy by banding together in the salary negotiations. Hyland, meanwhile, is likely to negotiate separately since she allegedly has already made more than the other young stars.
As for Aubrey Anderson-Emmons who joined the cast in the fourth season as Mitchell and Cameron’s daughter Lily, she may not receive a big raise since she has a smaller role on the show.
