Girlfriends Suing The CW

It looks like "Girlfriends" is really not ever coming back. No closure for the fans and no pay checks for the cast. Jawn Murray of Blackvoices.com reports.... "Well I've now learned exclusively that The CW made the cast members an offer to return for a "retrospective" episode that would feature recaps of the previous shows and cast members reflecting on those shows. The CW apparently only offered to pay the actors half of their episodic salary to shoot the makeshift finale, thus the stars collectively opted not to participate. In addition, several people close to the show tell me that The CW refuses to honor the contracts of the principal cast members and does not intend to pay the actors for the nine episodes that will not be taped. Now the show stars have hired a litigator who will file a joint lawsuit on behalf of the talent, suing the network for the money they are due. "The network told them point blank, 'Sue us!' After using this show to help built its name, The CW has turned their back on them and disrespected them in the most horrible way," said someone associated with the show, who spoke under the condition of anonymity. " This is just all sorts of wrong. "Girlfriends" is part of the reason The CW even exists as a network. It was the top rated show on UPN and was a huge boost to the ratings for The CW after the merge. With only a few shows left to air I can't believe they would allow the show to end without ending. This is ridiculous and unfair on so many levels. I am really hoping that both parties can settle this properly -- everybody gets paid and the fans get to say goodbye. Source
