Deal rule when it comes to actors and shows. So first of all I wanted to suggest a new rule.

For example, say ChynaGrande101 (this is just an example lol) but she has her actress, Dymond King casted in my series, "Miss Good Girl". Now say she didn't want her actress to be a part of the series anymore, which is fine, but she wanted her to venture off into new things. It shouldn't be right for her to just take off in the middle of the season, unless me and her worked something out on the sidelines. Anyway, my rule is that whenever a show is picked up and your actor is casted as a series regular weshould have some sort of cast contract that all the actors involved approve of. That way actors can't leave between the season. Now say if the show is renewed for a season 2 and ChynaGrande101 did not want her actress to be a part of it, in the season 2 pitch she should comment something as "I no longer want my actress (whoever she is) to be involved in the series" that way the creator of the show can work out storylines and possible plot changes around the character leaving. Let's be realistic it happens all the time in real tv shows. Zoey 101 (god everyone left and came back it was so much lol), Hannah Montana (the last season Oliver wasn't a main he still did guest appearances) and A.N.T. Farm. And the creator of the show should have that as well. Now, I can't just say I'm taking her actress out in the middle of the season,  i can give some unique storyline but they would still be a main character. But say I pitch another season of a show and didn't think a certain character fit well with the new season or i was making big changes to the show (like james in hollywood for example) the show creator would simply say the characters were written out of the show or will not be returning  for the upcoming season in the new season pitch. You guys would be approving it before anyway to make sure it's fair and okay. Like i cant just get in a fight with matt and be like "okay im taking his actor out the show, like that obviously isn't fair lol XD

But there also are some instances where an actor is simply to busy with music or other projects to do an episode. For example, Dakota Roberts was working on a lot, and Matt left a nice brief message on my wall basically saying, hey he's really busy is it okay if he misses a few episodes and he told me waaay before the season started, so i had time to work him being abset into the storyline and coming up with a creative, realistic way of his character being absent for the show. and that's fine too :D

Now say for example, you're a main character in a show. Say for instance "Luke & Lauren" got renewed for a new season and Matt said I'm not feeling it, take them out of the show. they would be under contract to stay for the whole season, 1 because they are main characters and two because he approved a new season ith his actors in them. You shouldn't be forced to stay in a series but it also isn't very realistic say, if i basically said im done with kitty couture and lisha jane left that show and just auditioned for a lead in another show. Like if you're the main character you should at least do the full season.

I think the same should be done with shows and actors. If you give a show up for adoption, (not if you became inactive) but if you willingly left and said you're giving it up and handed it to someone else, you can't just come back and want everything back. is that really fair. Inactive would be different because we have the contracts for that XD

idk what do you guys think about this actor contract upon renewal rule. because in real life actors have contracts each season. it also makes it fair to the shows, say like HeatherBlast9 (im trying to use everyone as an example XD) had in actress in one of Silly1's shows and then she pulled her out to audition for a new show that Tatertat was doing. Tatertat would consider her elaving one show to join another before casting as well  ya know? :D
