As far as their market worth goes, I think that Fox can pay them what they are asking. It is still a fraction of what the stars of many other shows are getting [go.com].

Also, there is something to be said for chemistry. The current cast sure seem to work very well together. I would hate to break that up.
In the end, I think the actors will get some sort of raise since everyone else involved is making more money than god on the show. They can afford to give the actors a bigger share of the pie.
