Members Juliajms Posted May 26, 2011 Members Share Posted May 26, 2011 That is a sad interview. It doesn't sound like she had a sense of what was coming. I guess getting fired out of no where has happened to many soap stars, but it still has to sting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 27, 2011 Members Share Posted May 27, 2011 Poor Maura really had no idea what show she was joining Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members juniorz1 Posted May 27, 2011 Members Share Posted May 27, 2011 So sad that it looks like they took it down already. I clicked on the link to the site but I don't see it there anymore. So thanks for posting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted May 27, 2011 Members Share Posted May 27, 2011 What makes me the most sad is the realization that we probably won't see most of these out of work soap actors again. Many of them will fade away because of the lack of scripted programming. The days of soap hopping are pretty much over. What's left other than guest bits on procedural shows? I've noticed several soap stars also popping up on the CW dramas. Still, there are only so many roles available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members psychofan Posted May 27, 2011 Members Share Posted May 27, 2011 I am just beside myself about this. Why? why? WHY? How could they possibly think this is a good idea? And reading that article infuriates me even more as I think about all the potential Diane could have had in the future as played by Maura. Maura seems so into the character and willing to do anything. It's a shame that they can't appreciate such an amazing actress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members shadow Posted May 27, 2011 Members Share Posted May 27, 2011 I knew she was a goner once they had Diane involved with the Newman men. Only Nikki, Ashley, Phyllis, amd Sharon sem to "survive" involvment with those three men and that aint a good thang imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted May 27, 2011 Members Share Posted May 27, 2011 You're not alone, but I'm resigned to what I consider bad decision making by TPTB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members P.J. Posted May 27, 2011 Members Share Posted May 27, 2011 I wasn't going to say it, but what the hell....Maura comes off as such a class act. Unlike alot of the self-serving, himbo-tic drivel HWpets spew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted May 28, 2011 Members Share Posted May 28, 2011 Yes, she is class... and that's probably why she got booted. She didn't play dirty *cough*BraedenMorrowStafford*cough* nor kiss up egregiously to the PTB *cough*LeBlancStaffordBergman*cough* nor lobby 24/7 to get the role in the first place *cough*GoddardReigel*cough*. Poor Maura thought that professionalism, hard work and talent would go some way to consolidating her place on the show. I do appreciate the fact that CLB, PB and MS went out of their way to welcome her and make her feel at home. I would have thought that MS in particular would view West as a rival on set, but I'm glad at least that there were a couple of people over there who were kind to her and making her feel part of Y&R. I do hope she lands on a show I watch... this is my first time watching MW's acting on a day-by-day basis and she is, quite clearly, a mega STAR and true talent.

Members Juliajms Posted May 30, 2011 Members Share Posted May 30, 2011 Melody Thomas Scott is on twitter now too. @MelodyThomasSco. I like to believe it's just a coincidence, but it makes me fear for her job. Meaning I wonder if she is hoping to rally fans due to issues with TPTB.

Members lovely_m Posted May 30, 2011 Members Share Posted May 30, 2011 Worked for Daniel Goddard. Though she might have pissed people off calling Tom C. unethical talking about the show or spoilers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
