Maura West let go from Y&R

Two-time Emmy winner Maura West is out at The Young and the Restless. Though the actress was wildly popular during her run as Carly on As the World Turns, insiders report that West didn't catch on as Y&R's Diane. West first appeared on Y&R in October 2010.

Though she's less than a year into her run on The Young and the Restless, soapcentral.com has learned that two-time Emmy winner Maura West (Diane Jenkins) has been let go.

According to Soaps In Depth, West is out because the actress "just couldn't get the same lightning to strike twice with her Y&R role." The magazine states that insiders found that West was "miscast" in her role on the CBS soap.

In receiving her Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in 2010, West let it be known that she wanted to continue in daytime -- and that she wanted to do so on CBS.

"If I [were] to stay in soaps, my loyalty [is] to CBS, where I’ve been on for 15 years. That's where my loyalty lies," West responded when asked if she'd consider joining another soap.

With her Y&R hiring, West became the third actress to tackle the role of Diane. The role of Y&R's Diane was most recently played by Susan Walters. Walters appeared in the role from 2001 to 2004, but popped up in Genoa City last February for a two-day run. Alex Donnelley originated the role and had two runs with the show, one from 1982 to 1986, and another from 1996 to February 2001.

During her 15 years with As the World Turns, West was twice awarded the Outstanding Lead Actress trophy at the Daytime Emmys. She also received four additional nominations -- three as Lead Actress and one in the Supporting Actress field.

There is no word yet on when West might last air. The Young and the Restless does not comment on contracts.

Meneer William J. Bell weet ook gewoon niet hoe hij met een actrice als Maura West moet omgaan.. Ze straalt net als Jill (Jess Walton, ben nog steeds fan) heel veel allure en kracht uit..
Teveel daarvan in een soap als Y&R is dan ook niet goed.. Ze hoort gewoon in ATWT thuis, maar helaas is het er niet meer Daar bovenop blijft ze voor mij altijd Carly Tenney (Snyder)
