And then there were three.

Reuters is reporting that four actors from the hit HBO mob melodrama “The Sopranos” have or are close to signing deals to up their salaries to appear in the final season of the show.

Lorraine Bracco, Aida Turturro, Robert Iler and Jamie-Lynn Sigler have settled for salary increases, while Tony Sirico, Steven Van Zandt and Steven Schirripa are still holding out waiting for a deal to be struck.

The actors were demanding more pay, or they wouldn’t return for the final season. Things were looking grim for awhile as the first read through for the first episode was supposed to occur on July 4 (it has been pushed back to July 6).

Sources say Bracco will be receiving $220,000-$230,000 per episode, Turturro will be receiving $130,000-$140,000 per episode and Iler and Sigler will be receiving $110,000-$120,000 per episode.
