I guess ABC is realizing they made a huge f*cking mistake by cancelling All My Children and One Life to Live for those two other shows, so they are getting rid of the schmuck who made the choice. Brian Frons gave a quote about him leaving when is contract is up and for some reason believes he actually did good for the network. He said, “While my decision to try something new was not arrived at easily, nine years is a long time in television terms. I’m proud of the performance of ABC Daytime over that time, and of all of the accomplishments that our team achieved along the way. I’m especially pleased by the early results for ‘The Chew’ and excited for the launch of ‘The Revolution,’ which will be one more positive step in transforming ABC Daytime for our viewers. I’ll miss my colleagues and the wonderful talent that makes our shows, but know they are in very capable hands with Vicki going forward.â€
Vicki Dunner is replacing him and she comes from a scripted and reality background. Hopefully that means she will keep ABC’s last soap alive and cancel Katie. Yes Frons also thought it was a good idea to pay Katie Couric millions of dollars after millions of people stopped watching CBS news because of her.
I say good riddance to Frons, and don’t let the door hit you on the way out. Oh wait, let it!!!
