Broadcast Network Execs: Expect More Integrated Campaigns This Upfront Season

Nitin Ganatra 'frustrated' with EASTENDERSNitin Ganatra (Masood) has admitted that he sometimes gets frustrated working on EASTENDERS. The actor wonders if his character will ever be given big storylines - adding that he thinks, in general, ethnic minority characters on TV get worse storylines.
Ganatra said: "The Mitchells have been there for a very, very long time and they've got that whole gangster thing behind them - The Masoods don't have that. They've got much more of a Pauline and Arthur Fowler with them, a very domestic story, and domestic stories don't necessarily take the same kind of gritty, upfront drama that the Mitchells may have. But certainly when you compare EASTENDERS to my other work, as a writer, as an actor and as a producer, I do enjoy that sort of work and EASTENDERS does have those sort of frustrations for me because even two years down the line I'm not used to that way of working. That doesn't mean I don't enjoy it. I do.

WWE COO says business not affected by UFC
WWE COO Donna Goldsmith said WWE having intellectual property rights to the wrestlers on the roster means they can rebuild or re-package a wrestler even after suffering losses that would debilitate a legitimate fighter's career in a legit sport.
"With our guys, there's a soap opera; there's a storyline that continues and they come in as a new character," Goldsmith said. "The fact that we own the characters has made a big difference for us and has not hurt us."
