Well, T.C, I am glad you said that because that was something I wanted to address. Are people blaming Frons and too much? Are they making him the fall man because they are upset over the dying Genre? So what, Frons tells the HW who to write for, and not always I may add. Folks, we have known this for YEARS. Barbara Bloom does the same thing. She tells the HW's what is popular and who to write for. Frons is a big lazy [!@#$%^&*]! Do we really think he has the time to sit down and write an episode of AMC, OLTL, and GH? NO! He does not. Head Writers have meetings with their writers, and they discuss ideas for the show. Brian may say, John is good, give him a story and if the story was good, we'd never notice. When the story aren't good, we do notice and that is because of the writers. You could take the most boring character and make him damn good if you are a good writer. This isn't about Frons anymore, this is about the writer, and if Frons tells Ron to write for Todd, and Ron does it good, Frons isn't even an object.

I agree in part and I disagree in part. Frons is blamed too much some of the time. I also think, and I know you disagree Jay, that Frank does not accept enough responsibility. Frons is hands on. However, writers and EPs should have big enough balls to stand up for stories and characters they like and to object when he goes overboard. Honestly that is the EPs' job. Frank has not taken charge of that show. He has allowed Frons to take charge.

I think Frons is the reason there is too much John, and I'm hoping some of that is changing now. I think he is the reason AMC is the Ryan Lavery show. I can't even watch that anymore. LOL. I also don't think Frons gets credit for some of the things he does. And please, no one think I'm a Frons' apologist because I'm not. I think he has done real harm to some of these shows. But I also think lame writers and EPs share in the blame.

I do give Frons credit for realy trying hard to promote daytime. Look at the way he pushes daytime emmys when they are on ABC. He also does takes time off of the View to promote Fall and summer shows on ABC. He really is bigger promoter of daytime as an industry that are either of his counterparts at CBS or NBC. IN fact, I think he promotes daytime more and harder than any daytime president on any network in recent memory. He, however, is too hands on, and weak EPS like Frank don't do a good enough job standing up for what they believe these shows should be. Dena just wasn't up to the job. She had a good six months, but I give a lot of that credit to James Harmon Brown.

The biggest mistake OLTL made was demoting Lorraine Broderick and Christopher Whitesell, the show hasn't recovered since Malone and Griffith's second stint onto now.

How quickly we forget Troy, Shawna, Molly, Chad, Emily, Seth, Liz, JOANNA, A Year With Niki Smith, Jessica and Natalie are Twins From Two Daddies and Todd and Tea Stuck on a Tropical Island Perfectly Shaven for Six Months.

To be fair, they did give us Roxie/Max and Live Week. To be honest, I think Ron's a good fit because he's been co-head writer for a few months so chances are he won't just gut things and start over, alienating the viewers.
