Then what do you consider her publicly rationalizing (I won't say "justifying" because I'm sure even SHE felt wronged by it) the Unabortion? That's my main issue. A woman who'd rather toe company line than speak up for a truly monumental story she DARED to create during a time it was hardly acceptable, doesn't seem to be the type of woman who'll STAND UP AND PREACH to the newcomers about what Soap Opera is supposed to be. I've never lost sight of Agnes' history. She's a woman who caves under a domineering presence. Let's not be fooled. She created All My Children, wrote the bible for it and presented it to P&G and they rejected it. After OLTL, ABC wanted her to write another one and she's gone on record several times deferring to her husband before presenting ABC with AMC. "Oh, do you really think it's good?" All I'm saying is that this woman has shown that she will submit her will to the dominant opinion of whatever the situation is. It happened after Pratt "met" with Agnes as well. He "met" with her, used that as the cliched line of approval to appease the press... and then had her banned from any further consultation. "We" didn't even find out about this until AMC's cancellation.

I said all that, to say this... Agnes will be Agnes. She'll possibly offer her suggestions and thoughts, but if the dominant opinion differs, I don't doubt for a second that she'll back down. This is where I see her failing to pick up the Irna Phillips torch that so many claim was passed down to her. The woman is too complacent. That's why McTavish was able to turn All My Children into Purgatory. That's why Pratt was able to turn All My Children into Melrose Place.

Believe me, I respect Nixon for creating and steering the AMC ship for 20 years. AMC is MY SHOW and there would be no show without her. I wouldn't have had a love for writing without the show being a daily presence in my life. However, I'm that person... I call my own parents out on bullcrap, and I'd die for them. Agnes is just a woman who wrote a show that became popular. She's hardly on a pedestal as far as I'm concerned!

I agree with you there! Love who you love...
