Maura west is nobody's punching bag. That is the reason why she didn't work on Y&R. And she was one of the reasons why that writing team was fired. Nothing but love for her.
Wow! Maura West just chews up the screen. She's amazing! She elevated the show. CBS was beyond stupid to let the idiot Executive Producer kill off her character. Now she's Ava on General Hospital winning raves!
@@citydweller99 No, she did an incredible job with the crap she was given by Maria Bell, who resented CBS wanting her on Y&R. It was disgraceful treatment of someone who worked for CBS for years. Screw Y&R. ABC saw how great she was and now she's killing it on GENERAL HOSPITAL.
I'm glad Maura West is now Ava Jerome now on General Hospital, Maura is such a great actress and can literally take any role and own it. Maura did so well as Diane Jenkins on Y&R when she took on the role in 2010, but at least now the Y&R writers realized they never should've killed off the Diane Jenkins characters and corrected a very necessary error. They didn't bring Maura back of course instead going with Diane #2 Susan Walters, but nonetheless I'm just glad the Diane Jenkins character is back alive and well.
The boarding school comment cracks me up because Nicolas went to boarding school AS A TODDLER after nearly drowning in the pool, and came back as a nearly adult teen. the most drastic soap aging I had ever
Lol that was Victoria who actually aged normally. Now Nicholas was a toddler for 1 year then came back with Nick and Sharon 2 years later. That’s the most crazy fast aging.
No, she's not. She always uses the phrase "Do you know who I am? I'm Mrs. Victor Newman". Honey without Victor or the last name she's like everyone else. Those stupid Newmans think that they can talk to anyone anyhow they want, but when someone speaks back they get surprised!
This is the first time I'm watching Maura West as Diane Jenkins. I stopped watching Y&R years ago. I loved Maura as Carly. I miss ATWT so much. I'm not a huge GH fan so I haven't seen her as Ava but I know for sure Maura is the BEST at her craft. Undoubtedly one of The Best Lead Actresses out there. ❤❤
I always wondered why they got rid of the Diane Jenkins character she provided just as much substance to the show as Victor, Nikki and Jack🤔. BTW I loved all 3 Diane's Alex Donnelly, Susan Walters and Maura West . Alex Donnelly was my favorite Diane tho❤️
@@Seriousthing13 Because CBS and Sony Television wanted Maura West on the soap, yet the executive producer at the time did not want her. So, she put her into the role of Diane Jenkins, and then killed off the character, because she didn't want West and felt she didn't have any talent as an actress. Shame on that executive.
@@DegrassiInstantStar what shes won several emmys .was amazing on As the 🌎 turns .shes alot better than some actors on yn r especially victoria cant even act boring .heather tom much better
Um, Diane was NOT a "minor" role. The character had been a huge, significant history on Y&R. Diane was a great character. West is a great actress. However, 40-ish West was completely WRONG for the part of late 50-ish Diane. She didn't work. This mistake was as glaring as if they had cast West to play Katherine Chancellor.
Diane owned Nikki big time with the truth and facts! But at the end, she married Victor again in order to keep her away from Nick. The same ex-husband who never loved her and dumped her for his ex-wife which he truly still loved.
They never gave this version of Diane the chance to really grow it was sad. Was hoping we would get one of the classic Nikki V Diane cat fights with Maura West as Diane lol.
I do believe she and Laura Wright were nominated one year for best actress, and with all do respect to Jacqueline MacInnes (Steffy B&B) who won, West and Wright were robbed.
This is why it made no sense to bring back Diane. Even this version of Diane, she still loved her son and would not have faked her death. With Keemo’s daughter being in the return story, Mari Jo Mason would have made better sense being the mystery woman
Y&R failed Maura West.Maura was stellar as usual.Her Diane started off with a bang then the writers has a severe case of witters block and wrote her 💩storylines.
@@DegrassiInstantStar She absolutely was miscast. Diane is a contemporary of Nikki's not a younger woman and the Blonde hair is so not Diane. I wish Alex Donnelley had returned but if not her and sticking with As The World Turns actresses as recasts: Colleen Zenk would've been brilliant as Diane.
@@RhaegarTargaryen1st Not really miscast but they could have written her in a much better way than they did. I assume Maura’s Diane was still in the same age range as Alex and Susan, she was just played as this younger woman.

Maura West is freaking Amazing in everything she does.
She's the best of the best.
This is hands down the ultimate READ!! I love Maura!!!
Damn! I loved the speech she deluvered to nikki

Maura West and Michelle Stafford are litterary the best actresses in this genre.

@Dave Jordan So true & you can see early traits of her GH character of Ava Jerome in her portrayal of Diane Jenkins.
@Dave Jordan three. One for Ava

If anyone wants to know what a read is, this is it. Diane read the hell out of Nikki
😂👍
She tore Nikki's face all the way off... YAAASSS!!
Love the way Dianne can wipe that high and mighty look, off Niki's face 😂

i miss this soundtrack on Y&R
@That Fan70 awesome
You tell Nikki Diane, she has no right to be moral compass. Im glad Diane told her off and reminded her of her stripper past 🤣
This is why I don’t understand why people love Nikki so much. She is not independent in the slightest. She is a trophy wife at best.
Never liked her character
No, she's not. She always uses the phrase "Do you know who I am? I'm Mrs. Victor Newman". Honey without Victor or the last name she's like everyone else. Those stupid Newmans think that they can talk to anyone anyhow they want, but when someone speaks back they get surprised!
@@msrain1235 That's true
Stripper, pill popping, alcoholic mother! Hahaha never liked Nikki.
I agree, hate her snobbery 😡
No lies told

Should not have killed off Diane so soon . Maura is a hell of an actress
She didn't fit, because she was too good for a supporting actress role
I always wondered why they got rid of the Diane Jenkins character she provided just as much substance to the show as Victor, Nikki and Jack🤔. BTW I loved all 3 Diane's Alex Donnelly, Susan Walters and Maura West . Alex Donnelly was my favorite Diane tho❤️

@@ManuelGuzman067 Yeah. Bullshit. Thankfully, she's now on a soap that can handle and appreciate her talents.
I wished I watched Y&R, when Maura West was on. She just seemed like she was too good of an actress to play that minor role
The writing sucked, but she was good.
That’s the funny thing: Diane shouldn’t have been minor. The writing was so terrible here. Diane was neurotic but not this bad.
It wasn’t the writing it was that she outshined Melody in every scene so she had to go!!!!!
@@angelaburress8586 most of the cast should be gone then! 😂😂😂

Not very many can knock Nicole Reed Newman down a peg or three. But Maura West sure as hell did.
Emmy Award Winner 🏆

Nikki deserves that insult. It amazes me how an ex stripper alcoholic living off her rich husband can be so stuck up and judgemental
Hot damn! #MauraWest #Combustible
Maura West is the only woman who gets more beautiful the older she gets… she was pretty here, now she’s captivating.
Queen West
They never gave this version of Diane the chance to really grow it was sad. Was hoping we would get one of the classic Nikki V Diane cat fights with Maura West as Diane lol.
Good timing. Remind people who is Nikki and who is Diane. And now Nikki is on her high horse.
lol taking Nikki Newman down.
@Princess Lollypop Yep and I luv when she let Nikki have it!!
Savage Actress Maura West 2020
Hands down Savage. A beast of the craft! #QueenWest
I do believe she and Laura Wright were nominated one year for best actress, and with all do respect to Jacqueline MacInnes (Steffy B&B) who won, West and Wright were robbed.
lol Ava Jerome in Genoa City
Well…Diane has a strong point though.
I can't believe I don't remember Maura playing this role am shocked guess I forgot a lot
I love when Nikki is off the wagon
Im sorry but she read ha into the abyss
This is why it made no sense to bring back Diane. Even this version of Diane, she still loved her son and would not have faked her death.
With Keemo’s daughter being in the return story, Mari Jo Mason would have made better sense being the mystery woman
Maura was not the best Diane. Only because she was to young and the part didn't fit. Her acting was impeccable. See Carly and Ava.
Diane got game 😂
I like Maura West I wished they had created another Character for her I think it would have been much better.
Nikki I wish you would be like my mom to go upside Diane's butt for talking bad about you! That would be a real CATFIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!
Y&R failed Maura West.Maura was stellar as usual.Her Diane started off with a bang then the writers has a severe case of witters block and wrote her 💩storylines.
Maura was so miscast.
She was not miscast; she was miswritten.
@@DegrassiInstantStar it was a miscast. They should have brought her in as a new character
@@DegrassiInstantStar She absolutely was miscast. Diane is a contemporary of Nikki's not a younger woman and the Blonde hair is so not Diane. I wish Alex Donnelley had returned but if not her and sticking with As The World Turns actresses as recasts: Colleen Zenk would've been brilliant as Diane.

@@jaredcooper9111 Maura was not even 40 yet here. Alex and Susan were pushing 50 if not already.
It's fictional
One of the show's worst recasts. Excellent actress, wrong part.
This didn't age well for Diane 🤣🤣
Miscast.
