Behind the Quick End of Her Performance

Loyalty can work as a double-edge for any talent in the big networks. When a talent leaves, the former network can only say goodbye and wish that talent well. Such talents could have a series of reasons for leaving. Some leave because of the lack of opportunities in the former station. Others leave to avoid being with a fellow talent in the same network. Still, others leave to reunite with their loved ones. The catch is if the talent could return to his/her original station. Nowadays, loyalty is highly valued and a comeback has to go through deep analysis before the decision for acceptance could be made.

These days, however, a Big Network (BN) seems to be rewarding newly pirated talents and returnees with better mileage on screen compared to their homegrown discoveries. BN seems to be generous to a fault and sometimes spoils the new ones.

For instance, when Attractive Actress (AA) decided to bolt out of her former network, she went from one station to another until she decided it was time to go home to BN. Surprisingly, AA received an offer that no one could refuse. She grabbed the opportunity and within a few weeks, AA was sharing top billing with the lead actor. What was supposed to be just a brief appearance was extended because the feedback was great and the audience loved her chemistry with the lead actor.

Unknown to many, Co-Performer (CP) was feeling pressure because AA seems to have gotten an edge over her. Since she began her career, which was almost at the same time as AA, CP never did move to another channel nor hinted on leaving. In short, CP exhibited loyalty, and thus, she felt slighted that AA was slowly overshadowing her.

Although her last major project did not perform as expected, people were wondering why CP could be so relaxed in her position. CP seemed to be quite confident, but she apparently had some misgivings as to the flow of her project with AA. CP felt that she was being overtaken by AA. If there’s one thing that CP hates, it’s the fact that some new talent of the network would find a way to outperform her or to have more exposure.

Thus, CP went to an Influential Executive (IE) and aired her concern. Citing the original project, CP reminded IE that the character of AA should only have had limited exposure. Naturally, with AA out of the picture, the story could now devote more exposure to CP. Thus, what CP wants, CP gets. In a short time, the character of AA was written out. Although AA was emotional, her actions were limited to crying and to wishing that the station would keep its word on having a new project for her. Meanwhile, CP could now relax as she could hog the limelight without having to share it.

‘You will never find the real truth among people that are insecure or have egos to protect. Truth over time becomes either guarded or twisted as their perspective changes; it changes with the seasons of their shame, love, hope or pride.’― Shannon L. Alder
