Members dawn9476 Posted January 28, 2007 Members Share Posted January 28, 2007 Budget things my ass. Frons probably got rid of her because she is old school and hates the new type of storytelling where if you are bad and/or young, you rule and if you are old and/or good, you suck.

Members KLN Posted January 28, 2007 Members Share Posted January 28, 2007 If they can't afford Mimi Torchin, how they hell would they be able to afford producing a soap of their own? This means buying Days, Passions, AMC, or whatever else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dawn9476 Posted January 28, 2007 Members Share Posted January 28, 2007 I doubt that is why she was fired. She was fired because her old school opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricaKane70 Posted January 28, 2007 Members Share Posted January 28, 2007 We all know she got canned because her outspokeness about abc daytime. For example look at my quote in my signature, she's pretty much against everything thats going on at amc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Dan Posted January 28, 2007 Members Share Posted January 28, 2007 I am to an extent. She hasn't been the same since she was booted from SOW the first time in 2000 because of the GH/Ken Corday incident. I actually think her opinions have become LESS outspoken...

Members Tzelkos Posted January 28, 2007 Members Share Posted January 28, 2007 God I hate Frons. Not that I always agreed with Mimi but maybe he should look at why people are b*tching rather than just firing everyone who does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ZaraB Posted January 28, 2007 Members Share Posted January 28, 2007 I don't buy Soapnet having budget issues. The only new content they produce currently is their own promos for the soaps they air. Soapography, IWBASS could be ended already, and nobody would notice. If I read the quote correctly, she not only implies that she is no longer writing on the message boards....she implies that the Soapnet Message Boards are going away. I begin to wonder if the whole Soapnet website is being rethought. Since the channel is not really producing much new content, they don't need the elaborate site that they have. The message boards there are boatloads of contentious bashing of ABC/Frons when not fighting themselves. IF this is the case, I'd suspect Frons' videos from the Fall have as much to do it with it. Certain quotes from Frons' ABC Fall previews were yanked quickly but still echo around the net ('No one wants to see a middle aged woman in a love story' re Genie Francis return, and that the audience must be ' trained.' I certainly hope they've caused him some pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Tzelkos Posted January 28, 2007 Members Share Posted January 28, 2007 Has that middle-aged woman in a love story comment ever been verified? I know the training comment was true, and I don't think it was ever removed, but I find it hard to believe even Frons would make that comment about Genie/Laura, even if he really did feel that way.

Members Brandeis Posted January 29, 2007 Members Share Posted January 29, 2007 Soapnet is just fine as long as it can harvest ABCD and the others. Not profitable enough to support even ONE of its own original soaps though. My namesake aunt from England used to work as a set designer for ABCD (she lives in Canada now) and when she told me the budget for sets back in the 80's and 90's I couldn't believe it. Now with HDTV coming in it can only get worse. I like Mimi. At least she's not a Brian Frons A*S Kisser like Carolyn FATSY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted January 29, 2007 Members Share Posted January 29, 2007 LMAO! Hey, I love Carolyn HINSEY. LOL. I don't think she kisses his ass THAT much. Remember last year's Emmy Award Nominations on THE VIEW. LOL. She totally said it like it is. Maybe she has changed her tune now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Brandeis Posted January 29, 2007 Members Share Posted January 29, 2007 I don think she TOTALLY said it like it was, but I admit she gave ABC a harder time than usual. Still prefer Mimi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
