OLTL:Why isn't more criticism directed at RC?

It didn't make a diff with James E Reilly ;)

Reilly didn't do gay storylines. Certainly nothing socially responsible gay storylines. Nothing the gay soap press would praise.

Sure, laugh now, but will we still be laughing when it becomes reality? ;-)

At this point, it makes no diff to me who, if anyone, replaces RC. They're all controlled by Frons, anyway. And before we suggest that Frons is the one to go, just bear in mind: we wanted his predecessor, Angela Shapiro, gone, too. Something tells me Frons' replacement will be just as awful as he is, if not worse. They always are.

I don't want RC to leave. I want him to work toward correcting his weaknesses.

:o

Chad having sex with a homicidal hermaphrodite didn't bring in the praise?!??!

Ties right into Jack Peyton Axiom.

RC's deficient in a lot of areas but the difference is I think the multi-culti and gay canvas full of different people or in some cases, outcasts (Sky, Kim) was largely his idea; most of the people being cut are his favorites or new people his team invested a lot of time in. I don't think Frons cares about minority representation so long as he can point to a single person of color on a contract and that person does not pre-date his tenure at the network (Greg). I think that in 2010, as much as Viki, Dorian, Bo, or their families, those people of all color and stripe embody the show's spirit, and if you cut it out you have 1988 again, only without Tina or any of the couples or wacky stories people really enjoyed - just a sea of white. And I don't think Frons really cares; after all, his optimum show, GH, is almost totally white and has been so, unrepentantly, for years.

Which he's about to "fix" for 5 minutes with two tokens that he'll drop the moment Stephanie Gatschet is available.

Frons was the one who suggested Destiny so the fact that the entire Evans family is on the chopping black shows his committment. Black fans are screwed no matter what but there is very little that can be done when no one is left to challenge this.
