As familiar as I thought I was with Android (via my phones) I thought I would've figure out by now how to get this screen back for other uses. But so far no luck. Is 1//3 of my available Home screen space really reserved for TV and Movies (and, at that, apparently only the ones downloaded from Google Play)?

Sounds like a widget is on that screen. You should be able to long press it and then drag it to the trash.
I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.

Ann154,
Bingo! You were absolutely right! And now that widget is gone.
Unfortunately, so is the screen it was occupying. Now, instead of three screens I have but two - - the original center screen and the one that had previously been the right-hand screen.
Which prompts the question of how and where pages are added or deleted from the home screens.

Home screen panels are added/removed as you add/remove apps/widgets. As long as there is at least one app/widget on a panel, the panel remains. Once you remove that app/widget, as you encountered, or move it to a different panel, the panel is removed. To add panels, add or move apps/widgets by long-pressing the app/widget and sliding it to the edge of the screen ... a new panel should appear. There are five panels total available.

Thanks so much for your reply and thorough explanation. Every Android *phone* I've had has started with a minimum number of pages (some could be expanded from 5 to 7) and those pages were there whether you had icons on them or they were completely empty. So to have one disappear on me like that kinda threw me!

Okay, I spoke too soon. Not in thanking you...but in not actually trying what you suggested before replying. When I drag an app icon to the left edge of the screen (which is where I want to restore or add a new panel), nothing happens. I can almost drag that icon out of view completely and still no page is added.
When I long-press in a vacant are of the Home screen to get the screens to zoom back and show the layout, I can't seem to get another page added that way either.

Panels are added to the right. And the far left-hand screen panel is the one that the Home screen always goes to.

That is...unless you tap on the Home icon in the layout area to define (pr re-define) one of the other screens as "Home"....right?
Add screens to the right only, hmm? Who knew? Thanks, again, for the help.
