THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS has made a habit in the past two years of hiring the right actor for the wrong part. Case in point was the incredible Maura West in the role of much older Diane Jenkins. If anyone could have made that miscasting work, it would have been West. But according to Soaps in Depth, West will be exiting the show and the role of Diane proving that the Y&R brass realize their mistake. There's no word yet on how West -- or Diane -- will exit the canvas. West won the Daytime Emmy last year as Outstanding Lead Actress. It's too bad Y&R didn't create a role worthy of her talents.
