Soap Star in Financial Trouble
Former Days Of Our Lives star Deidre Hall is facing money troubles. In court documents filed on March 9th stemming from Deidre’s divorce from her husband Stephen Sohmer, explain that Deidre’s money is running out since she’s been let go from the show. I guess actors are not immune from economic woes either since she’s dealing with this financial problem too.
Deidre claimed her monthly salary was about $28,000 while she was on Days Of Our Lives. I did the math and she was making about $336,000 a year. I thought she was one of the million dollar actors in daytime because she is one of the most popular actresses on Soap Operas. Her primary source of income came from her work on Days Of Our Lives. Now that she’s been fired, she has to utilize the assets that she’s accumulated and the income generated by those assets to maintain her and her children’s lifestyles. She has to pay her husband alimony so losing her job has made it difficult for her to make the payments that she was making before she was fired.
She is scheduled for a hearing on this matter on March 25th. I hope that it all works out for her. It would be a shame that she would have to sell things in order to make ends meet. She is a pretty good actress so I can’t believe that she can’t find another soap to join. You would think that they would jump at the chance to hire her. She has a huge fanbase that will probably follow her wherever she goes. Maybe Ken Corday will have a heart and hire her back on Days Of Our Lives. He took a lot of heat by letting her go so he can make up for it by hiring her back. I’m sure she will do it now because she needs the money.
