Calling Jeff Davis a liar is irresponsible and unfair. Here are the facts: Every actor on "Teen Wolf" in the opening credits is a series regular and under contract. Every other actor on the show, recurring, guest star, or co-star is not under any committed contract at all, aside from salary, billing and gauranteed number of episodes for that season. Dylan Sprayberry was NOT under a series regular contract last season, he was promoted to contracted series regular for season 5. While some of the recurring characters have a minimum number of episodes guaranteed (for example meaning they are guaranteed to be in say 12 out of the 20 episodes) they could end up appearring in more, but a certain number is guaranteed. If for some reason they appear in less than their guarantee they must be paid their negotiated per episode salary for the guaranteed number of episodes. Only the opening title series regulars are contracted to be there for all episodes and additional seasons. This is why this show loses so many actors so often to other shows. Colton Haynes was never under contract, nor Daniel Sharman, nor the Carver twins, nor Orney as Coach. These actors have absolutely no contractual obligation to not take other higher paying work. Crystal Reed and Tyler Hoechlin WERE both contracted series regulars who requested to be let out of their contracts to pursue other creative endeavors. What Jeff said at Paleyfest was completely accurate as is what Tyler Hoechlin said at Wizard World this week.
