The word was that there would be further budget cuts if sweeps failed. So who's out to pay for the November disaster?

Good Morning,

I'll start off first.......

since there is NO WAY Sweeney fires Frons (that would be the BEST MOVE), he did get Ms. Francis to come back, why she did I will never know (she is such as incredible woman) but he did it.

I think Archer, Fumero, Higley and Valentini will take the fall. Of course this is my wishful thinking! But who knows maybe Frons will surprise me and FIRE HIMSELF!

Unfortunately, I think some folks in the cast will take the fall....in fact some already have.

I doubt MA and DF will be the ones to see the door. BF is catering to the teen demo and the hispanic demo so DF should be safe despite the fact he can't act his way out of a paper bag.

With all the new characters being cast it seems more like an endorsement of DH and FV than any reproachment. Unfortunately I think we're stuck with them.

I'm hoping Higs and Valentini take the fall.

As far as cast members who would be cut I'm not sure. If I had to guess maybe Layla and/or Vincent, but it just might be someone like HBS.

By rights, Frons, Higley and Valentini for trashing this show to Boringville.

But, knowing those ba$tard$, they'll probably get rid of HBS or Robert Woods or Robin Strasser because, you know, "test research says that viewers don't wanna watch Old People."

Nobody will take the fall. Frons will just call it a necessary drop for rebuilding and continue with the same piece of crap we've seen since he took over OLTL.

How can he fire anyone? It's very obvious the show was written per his orders:

Focus on Rex and Adrianna

The McMummy Story

The focus on Jessica and Antonio, a painfully bad couple that only Frons loves

The continuing focus on characters no one knows or likes

It was the Frons show and he can't very well fire people for doing what he ordered. ABC Daytime is a total waste and Brian Frons is the reason why. More actors will be fired and he will say it's the natural change in daytime viewing. The ratings were lowered as he took the necessary steps to try to bring in a new demographic. The truth is he is a sick ol man who is only interested in doing what he wants, not what viewers want.

At this point, OLTL needs total re-tooling. The could do worse than start with the cheaporama sets and lighting. They can throw their HW and EP out with that trash, too.

Since they adore Todd so much, why not work on making the Lords/Mannings the foundation family of the show?

Or they could just call the show "Port Charles" and start all over again, since Frons is so obsessed with housing and showcasing his PC crushes on every single show in ABC Daytime?

Frons sucks.

It would probably be Hilary B. Smith if anyone, cause now that they have Vangie what use do they for Nora? Vangie has basically taken her place

I have to say, even though Spencer is Dena's main villian, I really could see and hope that Paul Satterfield gets cut, I mean, he hasn't really been seen that much since he was arrested, and it seems all the stories have ended for him, unless he is a Buchanon.

But, it will probably be someone we all ove like Robin Strasser or Hilary B. Smith.

OLTL had a sweeps? I sure couldn't tell. If they think that John McLame being alive (even though everyone knew that MONTHS ago) was a big sweeps stunt and they "pulled the wool over our eyes" then TIIC are even stupider that I thought.

Along with the Tommy is really Todd's reveal... When Marcie first picked up the baby, everyone knew it was Todd's kid.

My guesses would be Hillary B. Smith, Kathy Brier and Nathaniel Marston.

Well this show can be saved because the loyal fan base will come around if the writing gets better. I disagree with you about some of the new characters but the problem is in matching them up with the people who create sparks. McBain is boring all the way round. Spencer had played out. Rex/Adriana, Christian/Evangline, Antonia/Jessica, Bo/Paige do not work on any level. On the other hand my tv catches flames whenever Natalie looks at Vincent, Todd looks at Evangeline, RJ is in the vicinity of Lindsey and still when Bo and Nora are on screen the fireworks for these couples are undeniable. I fear the PTB are afraid to cross the racial lines with these couples but they work!! I never got Christian with anyone other than Jessica and the slap in the face to history astonishes me with them. I admit, Nash and Jessica/Tess or whoever else may be in her head are the next supercouple but they have to go through the Todd/Blair torture chamber for the next five years. Bring back the Krammer women, Cassie needs to come back with River and some man to balance Dorian's antics. Bring back Addie to the Manning household and bring back Cord/Tina/ and their children. The Lords and Krammers were core families long before the Bucannan Boys rode into town. They bring with them conflict, history, drama and loyal fan followings. Expose David as Asa's son and start Dorian's world wide search for her true love and put Clint back with Vicki. Bring on a real therapist and deal with the generations of mental health issues with the Lords and Krammers especially with Star and her brother who have inherited all sorts of issues genetically from both sides. Wait for Susan Haskell to come off maternity leave and bring back real Marty and lose fake Marty and her non acting son. Also bring back Powell Lord and deal with real healing from the rape. Let's get a real villiam ala Ivan Kippling/Urusla Blackwell who has a real historical reason for revenge. Link RJ to Rachel or Vincent and give the minorities a real link and story. Take more chances for that is what OLTL is all about. Most of all write for the winning actors, hell Erika has 6 damn emmies, she can deliver, put her back in the forefront as Vicki, Nicki, Tory, Jean, Tommy or some damn body. Dorian, real Marty, Bo, Nora are all emmy winners...they can deliver and Jessica, Starr, Vangie, and Blair should have emmys for the consistant good work they put in....FYI John, Natalie, Adrianna, Rex, Claudia, Layla and even though they look good the Vega boys can't act but they are pros compared to Cole....Casting needs to go with talent not looks. Lastly, Nigel, David, and Roxi are the best comic deliverers in town, let them have their one liners.
