Brian Frons also played god on Santa Barbara when he was running NBC Daytime. I would say whoever was the person who came after Brian Frons at NBC. He had been in the sports department and was given the NBC Daytime top job. He had plans to cancel both Another World and Days of our Lives in 1993, after Santa Barbara went off the air. If anyone noticed that is when changes to the head writers and producers at both shows. James Riley was brought into Days and Terri Guarnieri was given the EP spot at AW. She had been a producer on The Cosby Show and never worked in daytime before.

That was the late Rohrbeck's doing I mentioned in the original post. He left NBC for rehab and apparently his wife was a painter of erotic portraits.

The Todd Manning doll was a beyond stupid marketing mistake, but I'll be the first to admit that I would have probably preferred that she stayed after the crap that happened under Frons.

Was Felicia Minei Behr up against up him for the position at one point? What could have been...

I don't think Lucy Johnson was bad. CBS Daytime promos were off the hook under her!

And I believe it was Gloria Monty who fired Finola Hughes, no?

It was. Fin was leaving anyway for the show Jack's Place, but Gloria let her go the month before she was actually supposed to leave.

That is supposedly what convinced ABC that Monty had to be let go from GH.

If she was and she would have gotten it, JFP would have been fired from GH. Guza and Pratt would have never been back. JDB would have never been fried from AMC for JHC. Richard Culliton wouldn't have been fired from AMC and McTavish would have never been back or at any other ABC soap. If PC went which it would have, it would have been replaced with another soap, without a doubt.

That would have been so nice. I still want to see what RC would have planned for AMC.

Compared to most of the daytime executives over the past two decades, I actually think that Lucy Johnson was pretty good.

Wait I thought Gloria Monty did.

Are you thinking of Finola Hughes?

She was and she lasted longer than anyone else at CBS Daytime, 14 years.

Oh I was....

Oh I was....

Please elaborate, I know nothing about this

My take on the REAL soapkillers?

Rabid fanbases and the pandering to them.
