step one almost done for getting our soaps back.

My money is on abc will fire Frons as a PR decision to try to stop the negative feedback for cancelling One Life to Live and AMC. NY Post wants to speak with Robin Strasser and she claims on her Twitter that she has been given a directive not to speak.

I dont think they are going to save both soaps, if any.

OLTL stands a better shot of being spared, but Im not holding my breath. Gotta give it up to the viewers for pressuring the advertisers!!!

Can we please get Frank Valentini as daytime prez. Fronzies time is soooo over!

I would love nothing more than to see both AMC and OLTL come off the chopping block, but even if they don’t 🙁 , letting Frons go would still be a wise move. I honestly do not believe TPTB at ABC had any idea how powerful a group ABC Soap Fans (and soap fans overall) are, and we will not let it go until we are heard – all petitions signed and advertisers pulling their ads. Thank you Hoover for listening and acting! Let’s hope other advertisers join the fight!!! I think this endeavor can still be WON !!!!! Let’s do all we can to keep all the good people behind the scenes and in front of the camera at AMC and OLTL employed, as they deserve to be.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Frons is indeed on his way out. I seriously don’t know how he has kept his job this long with the way he has pissed off fans and destroyed daytime television.

We definitely don’t need anymore reality, cooking or so called lifestyle shows! The networks love them because they are cheap to produce. Thats really it in a nutshell. Even if they don’t change their minds, we can still make our opinions about these cancellations heard. It is going to hurt ABC and it already had. Frons may indeed one day become their fall guy and take the heat for it. I won’t be sorry to see him go, he had no compassion on the actors, production crews or the fans of these soaps.

Being un-employed I do not wish anyone to be out of a job…but if it would help to rumor it a bit to get him and his superiors to re-think their decision that would be a very good thing!

Mr. Frons favorite is GH you can tell but i’m sure it too will one day be on the chopping block.

We all have to call L’Oreal and Hershey and keep up the pressure. One of the shows could still be saved or a least we can get rid of Frons.

Having been a GH fan since 1977, I finally gave it up 2 years ago as the show has become unrecognizable. Frons & Phelps let Guza run wild with stupid plot driven stories, killed off all the vets or shoved them into the basement at GH never to be seen again.

One thing I loved about the soaps is that if you stopped watching for a period of time you could turn it on and see some of the same core families/characters and jump right back in due to having respect for the history of the show….

The Three Stooges (Guza, Frons & Phelps) all deserve to be shown the door. I would love to see Wendy Riche back at ABC to replace Frons, Frank Valentini should replace Phelps and Sri Rao should replace Guza, all three respect the genre and history of the show they work on.

He should have been gone YEARS ago.

There is a reason the soaps lost ratings. They write complete crap. Try writing what the fans want and maybe we would tune in. DUH

If we are successful in saving our shows, changes should be made. We blame the writers, but they get their direction from the executive producers, who get their direction from the networks. The shows need writers who understand the genre and are committed to telling great stories. They also need to hire good actors. Back in the day, the soaps hired stage-trained actors, not the Barbies and Kens that we see today. The shows also need to listen to the fans. I understand that you need new characters for the future growth of the shows, but don’t forget about the beloved characters that brought us to the shows in the first place. Last but not least, I also know that happy couple in soaps is a boring couple. Everyone goes through drama and trauma for a while, but in the end, bring us back to the love. I am going to get off of my soap box for a while. Have a good weekend all!!!

Have watched GH since the days of Jessie
Brewer back in the 60’s! Watched
AMC in college and OLTL
off and on. Also have watched
soaps on other networks, but
always loved ABC soaps the
most. This has just left me
incredibly sad and disappointed.
Hoping beyond hope that
Frons really does get the ax.
Poetic justice for sure!

He needs to go and OLTL and AMC need to be saved. OLTL went up to number three while he was canceling them and shoving money in his pockets in return for his quest in decimating an entire genre of television. The sponsors will continue to respond as long as we continue to call them. Frons need to be held responsible… he needs to go!!! There is NO WAY he should continue to be in charge!!! Screw The Chew, Down with The Revolutinon, and Fire Frons!!!!

Stop watching ALL ABC programing especially during primetime. They will know it is in protest of axing the soaps. It will especially hurt ABC if their ratings are down in May during “sweeps”.

Brian Frons deserves to be fired for his egregious mistake in misjudging the fans of OLTL and AMC! We will continue to fight and will not let this go. I and many are not watching any ABC programming other than OLTL & AMC. This network used to be on all day at my house and also many programming at night ,like the news, DWTS, Castle, and others but NO MORE! And there are many just like me! Stay tuned!

The departure of Brian Frons would be the best news any soap fan could hope for. I doubt it is true but at least there is a glimmer of hope.

Frons is a destroyer…….he has destroyed good programming. He has betrayed loyal viewers so we will betray ABC. The only good shows on ABC are AMC, OLTL and Oprah. They will all be gone soon and the only crap they will offer us is The View and the two new idiot shows that will replace good TV. Barbara Walters and her crew are not age appropriate and yet we can’t seem to get rid of that group. Frankly, ABC has nothing to offer once the soaps are gone so why bother tuning in? ABC will tank!! Mickey Mouse would do a better job than Frons but then, he is not age appropriate but neither is Frons. PLEASE CANCEL FRONS and restore AMC and OLTL.

Firing B.S. Frons would be a great first step combined with the announcement that the cancellations of AMC and OLTL are being reversed and AMC is relocating back to NYC. The next great step would be to promote OLTL’s EP to Frons’ former position as President of ABC Daytime so that he can keep the shows under budget.

My next recommendation would be to replace Jill Farren Phelps with Wendy Riche and replace Julie Hannen Carruthers with Pat Filishi Kuschel. I think David Shaughnessy could be a great fit for OLTL.

ABC would be smart to lure Patrick Mulcahey to GH, Josh Griffith to OLTL, and keep Lorraine Broderick on AMC tapping Agnes Nixon to consult with both AMC and OLTL.

Another thing soaps need to do is keep their cast pared to no more than twenty core players, balancing screen time carefully between all of them. Instead of hiring cheap, mediocre talent, the shows would be better off doing what prime time does and keeping a long list of recurring talent that it can tap, as needed.

All I know is that I will NOT be watching ABC at all if they go through with their plans to replace scripted daytime drama with Binge-Purge-Talk programming. My last day of viewing ABC is OLTL’s last day on the air.

I truly hope it is true. Brian Frons needs to be fired. I will not watch anything that is put in place of AMC or OLTL. There’s not much left worth watching on ABC once the soaps are cancelled. The only decent show left is Castle. If the soaps are cancelled I will watch nothing on ABC.

Good, I hope they get rid of Frons! Alot of older people that have retired and have always watched their soaps in the afternoon are very very disappointed. Do you honestly think a chew show and health show is going to make it for ABC? Don’t think so, I am going to tune in for CBS from now on in the afternoon. If you get rid of GH as well, I don’t think ABC will be in business for long. Its not all about FRONS, and what he wants, its the viewers. Thank you!
