Emmy Winner Lands New Job!		West is moving to Genoa City!
Maura West (Carly) is the first AS THE WORLD TURNS star to land another daytime gig: The two-time Emmy winner has been cast as Diane on THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS! According to TV Guide, West will report to the Y&R set on September 1 — before ATWT's final episode even airs — and will debut as Victor and Jack's ex on Friday, October 8. The character of Diane was last seen in February when former portrayer Susan Walters made a brief appearance in the midst of the Patty/Emily storyline. Prior to Walters, Alex Donnelly played the part. West hinted at the possibility of joining Y&R at the Daytime Emmy Awards in June, when she admitted that she was moving her family from Connecticut to Los Angeles. "If I were to stay in soaps, I would have to say that my loyalty is to CBS, which has been so loyal to me for years," she said. "That’s where my loyalty lies." A show spokesperson tells Soaps In Depth that while West will bring Diane back to the Y&R canvas in October, there's no information at this time whether her son Kyle will be joining her.
