Coronation Street stars are furious at plans to cut their wages.
Show bosses are reportedly set to cut back on their wage bills, with Granada suffering from falling advertising income.
It seems that each cast member would lose £26,000 from their current salaries from next year.
One source told The News of the World: "There's a lot of discontent. They're on high wages but they work very, very hard to bring out five episodes a week."
The higher earners in the cast reportedly bring in around £260,000, with younger stars on around £90,000.
This is the second time this year that actors' salaries have been disputed.
I still think they get paid way to much really. It's so easy to get greedy when you get paid more than the average 9-5 job.
