George/Susa/'Seinfeld

According to Yahoo News, quoting George/Jason Alexander, Susan was killed off by Seinfeld because she was a bitch to work with professionally. Presumably they were to have gotten married, presumably her character would have been developed more, so she cost herself a lot of money with all the syndication royalties that have been rolling in all these yrs.

Can you link that article? I'd like to read that.
Background drama like that fascinates me

pretty sure the cast does not get syndication royalties.
eta: I'm simply going off what Jason Alexander just said on Howard Stern yesterday.

Jason Alexander clarified on Stern yesterday that he just found the actress difficult to play off of but that she was really sweet. The rest of the cast had trouble figuring out how to play off of her as well.

dependant upon the contract. Some actors do command royalties, some don't. All get residuals through the SAG requirements.

Jason Alexander said it was not in their contracts.

See I think that played well on camera...George's charachter was supposed to collide with Susan.
That's what was funny...he hated his fiance'

I can't argue with those in the know, but I've heard Alexander boasting at several of the large televised poker tourneys over the yrs that " you do know I am rich from all that royalty money?" This was caught in some on the air comments he was making to other players at the tables.

No, that's not what he said at all.

Jesus, does anyone read the articles anymore?
He couldn't have been more gracious in his comments about the actress. He loves her, their comedy was just out of sync.

Exactly, and he said that as well. He also said that it allowed them to do all sorts of terrible things to her on the show because the audience could tell the relationship wasn't working.

This, thus the reason Seinfeld does not work or not as much as he used to.

Wonder if or how much of a slice they get out of any streaming deal

I can see Jerry and Larry sitting there talking about what to do with Susan.
Jerry: So Larry, I'm not really feeling this whole Susan character.
Larry: Right!? I thought I was the only one thinking that.
Jerry: I mean she's great and all, but...
Larry: She's not funny!
Jerry: She's not funny.
Larry: She's fantastic.. but not funny.
Jerry: She's great!... Just not on the show.
Larry: Not great on the show...
Jerry: So what do we do? She's getting married to George!
Larry: We get rid of her.
Jerry: Get rid of her?
Larry: Suure, get rid of her!
Jerry: You can't just get rid of her, Larry. She's not an old pair of underwear. She's a big part of the show now!
Larry: So we write her off.
Jerry: Write her off... ok, so how are we going to do that?
Larry: eh.. I don't know... George does something George would do and she leaves him! Easy!
Jerry: Like what? She's marrying the guy, she knows George and she's still marrying him. I don't think there's anything George could do to make her leave him now.
Larry: ...So he kills her.
Jerry: Kills her!?
Larry: By accident.
Jerry: So by some outrageous accident George kills the one woman who would ever marry him.
Larry: Now that's funny!
Jerry: So Larry, I'm not really feeling this whole Susan character.
Larry: Right!? I thought I was the only one thinking that.
Jerry: I mean she's great and all, but...
Larry: She's not funny!
Jerry: She's not funny.
Larry: She's fantastic.. but not funny.
Jerry: She's great!... Just not on the show.

Jerry does stand up tours pretty often. He seems to genuinely love it and works hard at his craft.
