Members miche Posted December 21, 2008 Members Share Posted December 21, 2008 The perfect solution would be to fired Frons and work down from there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Soapsuds Posted December 21, 2008 Members Share Posted December 21, 2008 This sucks!! ABC gets all the changes and their shows still suck!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kubla Khan Posted December 21, 2008 Members Share Posted December 21, 2008 What the hell is this garbage about "the show almost didn't get renewed during the last round of negotiations with the network?" Um - unless ABC is negotiating with themselves, there are no negotiations. They cancel the show whenever the hell they want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted December 22, 2008 Author Members Share Posted December 22, 2008 ^Yeah, unless they meant ABC was on the fence about renewing the show, but relented at the last minute. Anyway, Lisa de Cazotte is an executor. She knows how to execute the vision of her HW very thoroughly. She proved this on Passions and again on GH: Night Shift. Maybe she can help execute Pratt's plans in a more efficient manner. I wonder if Pratt and Carruthers get along, could it be he suggested a EP replacement at AMC to Frons? I don't see how this is going to be any big change, but you never know. Maybe Frons sees something in de Cazotte that he likes. Honestly, I don't think it will impact the show all that much, maybe the execution of the material will be better though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted December 22, 2008 Members Share Posted December 22, 2008 You're right, something doesn't gel with this news...ABC doesn't 'renew' their soaps. The only thing they'd renew would be a contract regarding the studio space and in the case of AMC that's not an issue since it, like OLTL, is taped at the ABC Broadcast Center in New York. I do hope it's Carruther's that's getting fired and replaced by LDC, she's a very capable EP who has a 'vision'...something that I feel JHC does not.

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted December 22, 2008 Author Members Share Posted December 22, 2008 Didn't rain1 say a few months ago that Julie's contract with AMC would be up in late 2008/early 2009? I guess it was obvious in hindsight that this news was probably about her getting fired. However, nothing is finalized, so you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jonathan Posted December 22, 2008 Members Share Posted December 22, 2008 While I don't like to see anyone lose his or her job, especially in this economic climate, it's time for a change at AMC. JHC has brought nothing to the show. Under her reign we got an unabortion and the murder by pancakes of one of the most beloved characters in the show's history (Dixie). Enough is enough. It's time to take the trash out. ETA: I know that these were McTavish's stories. But I don't think any of us believe that these would have come to fruition if Behr or James were at the helm.

Members DeeeDee Posted December 22, 2008 Members Share Posted December 22, 2008 Pretty much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Peyton Posted December 22, 2008 Members Share Posted December 22, 2008 I also hope its true about Julie Carruthers getting the boot and being replaced. AMC needs more change and a better show runner that's for sure. AMC needs a better vision. So I hope the news is true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JONNYSBRO Posted December 22, 2008 Members Share Posted December 22, 2008 Actually Julie and Chuck get along very well. They used to work on Santa Barbara together. The thing is the executive producer before Julie Carruthers which was Jean Dadario Burke was even worse. She was known as a very weak executive producer with absolutely no vision whatsoever. Julie is a bit better but not really a huge visionary. She is not Wendy Riche I will tell you that. AMC had to do all these big cuts but OLTL had no cuts. In fact Farah Fath said on Michael Fairman's website that OLTL has no cuts because they are under budget. Frank Valentini has kept the budget in check bigtime and the show does look very good considering their budget is small. OLTL did not have any cuts at all. It has done better then AMC all year and cheaper to produce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jonathan Posted December 22, 2008 Members Share Posted December 22, 2008 Wow, I forgot about JDB. That's how memorable she was for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted December 22, 2008 Members Share Posted December 22, 2008 Yeah OLTL didn't do a tornado, so I can see why they'd be under budget compared to AMC or even GH I was wondering the same thing, makes this bit of info seem more unreliable IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted December 22, 2008 Members Share Posted December 22, 2008 Well if that is true there is our answer to why JHC is getting fired... she spends too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NYC123 Posted December 22, 2008 Members Share Posted December 22, 2008 If JHC is GONE I will be SOOOO HAPPY! Lisa was a producer on AMC from 1994-1996 during the Behr and James era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
