It has been reported that Ms Wilson chose to leave the series. Perhaps...and correlation does not imply causality.
Nonetheless, I see this as yet another example of Hollywood hypocrisy, on the surface supporting equality while firing a "whistleblower."
They weren’t paying her the full seventy-eight cents for each dollar paid to Dominic West?
You get what you get, and you don’t get upset.
If you don’t like it, you can walk away.
If they don’t like your bellyaching, they fire you.
There is nothing new here.
PS: If you take it to the media and ask for sympathy after you get fired, they blacklist you. She’ll find out about that later.
Now she’s getting paid the same as thousands of other unemployed actors.
And another liberal discovers the real minimum wage. $0
She was GREAT in Luther.
Women typically are not box office draws. I can probably only name three actresses I would go see a movie in, because they are in it.
Most people go to see a movie because of a male actor and that’s life.

Her character on Luther was extremely annoying. I wished they’d killed her off that show!
I recall years ago when "Friends" was the big hit show and the stars were screaming for more money.
I told the Mrs. they should have a season finale:
All six are in a car, laughing having a good time.
Suddenly, Pure fear registers on their faces, now bright from oncoming headlights.
Fade to black.
Sound-over of crying tires and busting glass.
Highway scene. Ambulances, Police cars, flashing lights, gawkers.
A body is placed into the ambulance, sheet covering a face.
Ambulance attendant to cop: "The rest seem to be ok. They were lucky"
Fade to black
Now the negotiations come: OK. Let's talk. We can have five friends or six. What are the offers?
I have followed the series from the beginning. I got tired of Alison and I was shocked she died, but I will not miss her. She was always so morose it seemed. I liked her in the beginning but just was meh the last season.
Cole is my favorite character.
So tell me. Is her pay parity better now, or worse? Moron.
Think this is the best thing to ever happen to her character and, consequently, the show. Wished it had happened before she ruined a couple of marriages, including her own. Too bad this is the last season as it might have become tolerable without her whining presence.
Well, two times zero is...a whole lot less than she was making.
Wow shocking, given she was the show’s lead.
That was one show I could not get into. It gave me no reason to care about the characters.
Dominic West just seemed so full of himself. Given his background -- went to Eton, married into the aristocracy -- that's no surprise.
