Half the featured cast has hardly been in an episode. From my experience that means they did not get paid. However, since their names are on the credits, when the show goes into syndication they'll get a royalty.
Unless there is a "pay or play" deal... That is usually for movies not for episodic TV.
The shows is doing quite well tho with it's minimal regulars. Better than last season and the second half of the prior. I started watching this when Morgan crossed over to it so I dunno how it was before that. Just know the first 8 with Morgan was very good and the back 8 very bad with the bad continuing into the next season.
This season seems so far to be getting it right. A nice change would be for Ginny to turn out to NOT be the bad!
However, the monkey in the works, Exec Producer Scott Gimple, is still there... lurking... ready to strike with the inane BS he struck TWD and all the above I mentioned. HE nearly destroyed TWD; and did seriously cripple FTWD. The latter is getting its legs back... so lets hope the back 8 keeps Mr. Gimple locked in a closet.
