Well with Pratt, it sounds like there was no other way--Agnes apparently disagreed and was kicked out--what more could she do there? But, I do think your points are more than fair otherwise (even if I see it kinda differently--I get what you're saying).

Did Agnes ever release a specific statement about the unabortion? I can't remember one--but I wasn't online much then or following the soap press. I've heard Agnes is very brutal and strong with her opinion in story meetings, but it's also true that when people disagree (and she doesn't even have the authority of a HW--who can still be overuled--at the time) and go with it anyway, she definitely demures to the press and doesn't speak out against it--something Irna would have. I guess I see that as partly her just playing the game, and trying to stay a part of her show--and it sounds like (to me--and I admit we really know very little about this) that she will have more control at least at first with PP--but that doesn't disagree with your point....

I honestly do not believe that AN has been asked to be involved in this merely for PR reasons, I believe that they truly value her contribution. That said, once things get rolling, it's very easy for them to act as if her mere presence in the writers room or over Skype is her "blessing". Not necessarily so. Ultimately, folks are going to do what they want to do whether Miss Agnes likes it or not, particularly as the weeks go by and the creative staff starts smelling themselves in their fancy new positions. Agnes Nixon is a whiz when it comes to vivid characters, mot overly preachy social issues, and HEART. AMC's greatest gift was its heart, that heart carried it (and longterm, loyal viewers) through a lot of vapid rough patches. These are the sort of things that make her an invaluable consultant, imo.
