I totally agree! It doesn't make sense to me to pay as much, when she'd be doing considerably less work as a guest star, than as a lead. From the sounds of it, it was Julianna who wasn't willing to budge, which sucks, but it doesn't surprise me after all the drama that came out while the show was still on air.

I'd honestly never thought she'd be willing to appear on TGF at all until these articles started coming out this week, so I'm not too upset about it. But it would have been nice. I wasn't the biggest fan of how they wrapped up TGW, especially when it came to the Alicia/Diane relationship, so it would have been good to have her back for a few episodes to see if that could have ended differently this time around.
