"Modern Family cast members are reportedly planning to negotiate a large pay increase for the show&amp;#039;s next season. Most of the ensemble cast are currently getting paid around $65,000 (\u00A340,820) per episode, and are looking to get it bumped up to $200,000 (\u00A3125,620).  The six adult cast members are putting together a plan to negotiate a deal for the upcoming fourth season, says The Hollywood Reporter. Julie Bowen, Ty Burrell, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Eric Stonestreet and Sofia Vergara are hoping to match Ed O&amp;#039;Neill&amp;#039;s salary, who currently earns around $105,000 (\u00A365,950) per episode. An increase to $200,000 per episode would match the three main stars of CBS comedy The Big Bang Theory, sources claim. Negotiations are likely to begin this summer after the third season completes. It is currently unclear if all of the cast members will negotiate together or separately. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s going to get ugly,&amp;quot; a source close to production said. Modern Family has continued to perform well in the ratings during its third season, having increased to an average of 13.7 million viewers and an adults 18-49 demo rating of 5.9.
