Casting
Prior to 2006, Knox was reportedly the highest paid actress with the show, until Anne Kirkbride began to earn more. Knox's salary is £260,000 which producers pay to keep her in a secure future with the series. In January 2009, it was speculated that the character was going to be axed from the show in a bid to save money but this was later denied by a show spokesman. Knox was temporarily written out of the serial in August 2009 due to health reasons.

Famous quotes containing the word casting:
“For the gods, though slow to see, see well, whenever a man casting aside worship turns folly.”
—Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
“Reason sits firm and holds the reins, and she will not let the feelings burst away and hurry her to wild chasms. The passions may rage furiously, like true heathens, as they are; and the desires may imagine all sorts of vain things: but judgement shall still have the last word in every argument, and the casting vote in every decision.”
—Charlotte Brontë (1816–1855)
“This I do know and can say to you: Our country is in more danger now than at any time since the Declaration of Independence. We don’t dare follow the Lindberghs, Wheelers and Nyes, casting suspicion, sowing discord around the leadership of Franklin D. Roosevelt. We don’t want revolution among ourselves.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
