Diana’s Story
Soap Opera Weekly: How hard was it to come to the decision to leave the show?
Eric Winter: It was a challenging choice. There came a time when things started to become clear as to what I was going to try to pursue. Ideally, I’d love to have a film career, but I would gladly jump into prime time, as well. Once my decision was made, I told myself I had to go for it.
Weekly: Did your appearance in the Britney Spears commercial open a lot of doors?
Winter: It did. Obviously, I got a lot of recognition from being on DAYS, but the Britney commercial produced huge press. It generated a lot of positive things for me. That and the small part I did in the movie The Magic of Ordinary Days, with Keri Russell (FELICITY). Both of those outside projects got my mind clear on what I wanted to pursue.
