I forgot to type it by mistake. Sorry about that

I simply cannot believe this woman. She makes $100,000 per episode and she is complaining!!!!!!!!!!

They should make her work at a Burger King for 8 hours a day so that she learns how to appreciate what she has.

Disgruntled Fox To Quit 'CSI'

4 October 2007 (WENN)

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation regular Jorja Fox is to leave the hit drama after seven years. The 39-year-old actress first introduced the character of forensics expert Sara Sidle in 2000. She is quitting the show in November after failing to agree terms on a new deal. In an exclusive chat with TV Guide magazine, Fox reveals, "A couple of years ago, I decided not to take the raise that was offered me, (which) would have added a year to my contract." The actress admits she still feels frustrated and hurt after CSI producers fired her and co-star George Eads following a salary dispute in 2004. She adds, "I wasn't sure I wanted to give anybody any extra time. And the raise was terrible, to be frank. An extra year for that amount of money? No, thank you." But the actress admits she'll miss her onscreen love interest, William Petersen: "He's the most incredible scene partner I've ever had and he's a great friend. I couldn't have scored any higher than getting William Petersen to be my boyfriend on TV."

If you think $100,000 is a lot, go search what Zach Braff makes per episode in the 7th season of Scrubs.

I'll tell you, he makes $350,000+ per episode. Now that is a lot.

He's also the star of the show, not a supporting actor though

I gues she could forcethem to pay more now that she was officially they steady girlfriend og the shows star.

Guess the producersvwould rather ruin poor Grissoms love life than give i to actor extortion :)

Did you even read the article (you posted) or ever watch the credits? Her name is Jorja (like it says, in the article...you posted).

She is however the crappiest actress on the show (possibly on all of tv) and will not be missed by me or anyone I know. I had my heart set on her dying in that first episode of the current season. I think they should find some sweet way for her to be removed from the series, like having her die under a piano thats fallen from a few stories up.

not a great loss

. . that makes more sense now about grissom and her together . .. i assume now they will just easily write her out of the show and make her character transfer to another department.

[speed3okie]

Her name is Jorja not like the state

[Deathray]

They should've killed her in the season opener... either way, she's leaving now

Which is nothing compared to what Friends and Seinfeld stars were getting back when they were on.

[Doli]

Top rated show in 2004 (and 2003, 2002) and in the same year the cast of "Everybody Loves Raymond" got a raise, I dont see whats wrong with wanting a bigger pay. How much did the other supporting cast members make that have been around as long as she has?

The cast of friends made $1,000,000 per episode near the end now thats some nice money.

[dead.cell]

If I recall correctly, Seinfeld was offered $5 million to do a show but refused it. $5 million for 30 minutes... and to think other people are out in the world struggling just to get by... D:

[Hupp]

no great loss. She always reminds me of a female David Letterman

exactly, I never really liked her on the show, her smile/mouth always freaked me out

[Mathachew Veteran]

This was made known by Mike Ausiello on TVGuide.com immediately following the season opener. I think she's a good part of the team, but alas, she'll be gone.

[Angelic Marge]

That's shame, although that voice of hers used to really grate on me :pinch:

Didn't she hold out a couple of years ago, as well. Whiney bitch. Seeyabye!

Found it:

Jorja Fox will be back on the "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" case after all.

Advertisement Sources said Fox has made amends with CBS and has been rehired as a co-star on the network's hit drama series. The actress was fired last week for what CBS executives characterized as her attempt to hold out for a salary increase in the coming season.

Sources said there also has been a slight thaw in the network's relations with George Eads, the other "CSI" actor who was let go last week for the same reason.

CBS sent Fox a termination letter July 14 after the network didn't receive a signed letter from Fox assuring that the actress would show up for work as scheduled - a letter that she was contractually obligated to provide.

Sources in Fox's camp maintained that she mailed the letter instead of faxing it as required, but CBS chief Leslie Moonves made it clear that the network felt it was getting "veiled threats" from the actors' representatives that Fox and Eads would not show up for work unless both got a salary hike.

Sources indicated that both actors, who were making about $100,000 an episode under contracts that had three more seasons to go, were offered a bump to $120,000 by the network but were holding out for more.

According to sources, Fox will return to the series at her original $100,000-per-episode salary. CBS declined comment. Attorney Ira Schreck, who reps Fox and Eads, did not return calls seeking comment.

With Fox back on board, filming of "CSI's" fifth season is scheduled to begin next week. Production on the show was put on hold last week following the firing of the two actors.

Wow, $100,000 per episode isn't enough? What tools actors are. I'm sorry, but I don't feel sorry for her, what a loser.

If she appears in all 24 episodes in a season, she makes $2.4 million.

To be honest, I'm so tired of CSI, that I couldn't care less about who leaves, who comes, who stays, if the show dies. If others still like it, that's fine, but I'm glad I stopped watching it when I did.

[Mathachew Veteran]

That's a shame Hurmoth, because the last three seasons of CSI have been pretty awesome. I'm tired of CSI spawns coming up, which is the reason this is probably William Peterson's last season, so after this year, we could very well see the end of CSI Las Vegas. :cry:

I hate the change where the team got split up and have only watched maybe three or four episodes since then. The season finale of ever season seems to have one of the main characters in some kind of danger where they should die, but instead they some how always live. I don't like that, it isn't realistic IMO. Sometimes people, even good, die and the writers shouldn't put them in these situations and not actually kill one of them off.

[Janitor]

What's CSI? :pinch:

[AltecXP]

I always wanted to tap that. :)

[earlcaulley]

Too bad for her. With a face like that, she was lucky to be a regular on a TV show anyways.
