Article: New ABC Daytime President: Shapiro in Drag

[soapfan770]

I'm not as enlightened with ABC soaps as I am with CBS/P&G/NBC soaps but in light of the cancellations of AMC and OLTL and things I've heard why I think this is interesting on ABC Daytime President Brian Frons from when he was first hired. I've included the full column to make an interesting read for everyone because it speaks of when Collins was hired for GL. Smith actually ended up liking Collins a lot in the long run in-spite of his misgivings here:

Joan Collins has always played more than "rich bitch" - Alexis was far more than that, and so were many of her other characters. But like you said, he later praised her.

Those comments about Frons letting soaps be themselves are a sick joke.

I didn't know there was any Jack Scalia fan club going around praising him when he was at AMC. I wasn't looking on the boards as much at the time but honestly I don't remember anyone liking him.

(I think I confused Asiello with someone else...sorry)
