Frons treats all the ABC soaps like crap. OLTL is no exception.

The show HAS no creative vision at the moment -- but that is even beyond Higley's scope. She is reacting to the production environment.d EVERY story is rewritten, and most often transparently to cope with either a contract issue or the infamous ABC agenda - even the in progress arson/racial story already has major gaping holes. Most of the canvas is ignored while the few stars that get airtime also get embroiled in dramatic contract issues. New characters (some even with old names) get huge amounts of airtime while former emmy winners can't buy five minutes of airtime a month - assuming they are not being shoved out the door. Continuity doesn't even last a week, let alone the years Dena needs to tell her stories. Longterm viewers don't only feel disenfranchised or neglected -- many feel spat upon. I don't think Agnes Nixon COULD save it under the current environment even if she were willing.

You can say the same thing about AMC and GH. That is why Frons needs to go first. Everything that AMC, OLTL, and GH has done wrong for the last 4 and a half years is all on Frons. He has final approval on everything.

I want James Harmon Brown and Barbara E. OLTL was pretty decent when they were writing. We are stuck seeing McBomb every day regardless, he might as well be well-written.

I actually think that OLTL is the best ABC show on the air right now. I think it is better written then AMC and GH. They have balance, utilize their vets and they focus on family and friendships. I enjoy it much more than GH and I been stop watcjing AMC because it got so bad. I really hope that changes occur behind the scenea at ABC that will turn their soaps around.
