| In 2010 Maura West won a Daytime Emmy Award, presented by Trevor St. John & Michael Easton. Will West show up on the same soap as Easton soon? |
West may be joining the cast of ABC Daytime's GENERAL HOSPITAL in a top secret role. Could it be the mother of Franco's child (the long, lost Quartermaine heir)?
So are the DAYS of her life: Hagerstown Community College adjunct professor writes for daytime drama
When Jeanne Marie Ford was a student at Johns Hopkins University, she wasn't sure what she wanted to do. She had thought of joining the Army to be a linguist like her father.
"I changed my mind a zillion times, but ultimately I really wanted to give writing a shot," she said.
She landed her first job in the soap world with DAYS OF OUR LIVES as an unpaid intern right after earning her degree in psychology. Her parents, she said, weren't thrilled that their daughter, was moving to California, where the show is filmed, for no pay. But her gamble paid off.
"On my last day (at the internship), after I shipped all my stuff back, they hired me to be a writer's assistant," Ford said. It was 1992.
"I was hired for AS THE WORLD TURNS. Then I got fired from AS THE WORLD TURNS and was hired for ONE LIFE TO LIVE, then the writers went on strike," she said. "Ultimately, the guy who had fired me from DAYS had gotten fired himself."
So Ford soon found herself back at DAYS, where she's been since 2008.
Why Netflix Viewing Isn’t Comparable to Cablers
Based on new figures supplied by Netflix, the company streamed more than 87 minutes per day per subscriber in the first three months of 2013, BTIG analyst Rich Greenfield wrote in a research note. Adjusted for U.S. household distribution, that would make Netflix “essentially in line” with Mouse’s Disney Channel, according to the analyst.
But the comparison is apples and oranges. Greenfield’s analysis ignores on-demand and online views of traditional nets; that’s smaller than time spent watching live TV, but it’s growing. Also, cable nets are paid based on total household reach, selling ads against ratings. Netflix revenue is fixed at sub numbers too but company does not carry ads, so usage is indicator only of its relative popularity.
