Unmindful of the Network Wars

When Accomplished Actress (AA) joined the entertainment industry, she already showed much promise in acting even though she was still new and did not belong to any showbiz royalty. Slowly, she was given breaks by a huge movie outfit that had entrusted her with challenging roles in drama and sometimes, comedy. AA was even paired off with young actors, but none of her pairings worked out. Soon, she was typecast into playing anti-hero roles, and she was accepted by the public for that.

As time passed, younger and better-looking talents came into the industry. Worse, the trend was gearing towards bold films. AA, however, did not join the bandwagon. Besides, her conservative lineage would throw a fit had she opted to pursue the path of such daring films. AA had to lie low and several years passed before an offer that was too good to resist came her way. This particular role suddenly catapulted AA to the hearts of the TV audience and AA finally made a lasting imprint in the industry.

After her big hit, AA has reached the plateau of her career. Occasionally, she would venture into acting in various genres and even her acting in front of a live audience was much appreciated. Surely, AA’s name has become quite respected and she has a steady following as well. However, as one ages, roles can be limited, and for an actress like AA, there is no such thing as a small role. Moving from one network to another, AA found her home in a Competitive Network (CN), where she has been having one project one after the other.

By contrast, the contemporaries of AA seemed to be able to move freely from one station to another. For example, one has a morning show in one network and can be seen acting in another. AA, unfortunately, does not have this luxury. It seems that her career in CN has prevented invitations even for guestings from other stations. When AA was told of this matter, she laughed at the idea. Humbly, she replied that she did not think she was that important to be caught in the tug-o-war of networks. Now that her series has ended, fans are curious is AA would be found acting in another station soon.
