Hallmark Channel Chief Bill Abbott Exits In Aftermath Of Same-Sex Ad Controversy
Looks like there is still fallout from the Hallmark Channel pulling several ads from wedding planner, Zola that centered on a same-sex lesbian couple kissing at their wedding.
Now, Bill Abbott, who has been Crown Media Family Networks president and CEO for the last 11 years, is exiting the company. The announcement was made today by Mike Perry, president and CEO of Hallmark Cards Inc.
No successor has been named. “I have tremendous confidence in the Crown Media management team and, with this team in place, I will begin a search for Bill’s replacement,” Perry said. “I want to thank Bill for his many years of success and contributions to Crown Media and wish him continued success.”
Prior to the firestorm against the cable outlet for pulling the Zola ads, (after conservative group One Million Moms petitioned to have the ads removed) and the network complied, the company was doing well.
Abbott presided over a period of growth and visibility for Hallmark including: Christmas programming and regular opportunities for seasoned A-list stars that in return attracted viewers and ratings. Bill Abbott’s exit is the latest result of Hallmark’s efforts to quickly turn the page on the bad PR.
Deadline reported that according to people familiar with the internal discussions, many people at the network expressed their preference for restoring the ad quickly, while Abbott went against their wishes and kept it off the air.
So, what do you think of Abbott stepping-down and Hallmark parting ways with him? Do you enjoy Hallmark Channel programming or find its fare and formula not diverse and inclusive enough? Comment below.

Judith Light To Receive Prestigious Honor At GLAAD Media Awards In New York
Another wonderful acknowledgement is coming its way to two-time Daytime Emmy and Tony winning actress, Judith Light (Ex-Karen, OLTL).
News on Wednesday has that Light will be honored at the upcoming 31st annual GLAAD Media Awards in New York City with the Excellence in Media Award in a ceremony hosted by Lilly Singh. The ceremony will take place on Thursday, March 19th.
According to Deadline, who broke the news, the Excellence in Media Award is presented to media professionals who have made a significant difference in promoting acceptance of LGBTQ people. Light joins previous honorees Ava DuVernay, Robert De Niro, Patti LaBelle, Debra Messing, Tyra Banks, Julianne Moore, Glenn Close, Barbara Walters, Diane Sawyer, among others, who have received this prestigious award from the organization.
“Judith Light stood up for and with LGBTQ people when others in media and entertainment refused to speak up, and she has never left our side,” said GLAAD President and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis in a statement “When the GLAAD Media Awards first started and was a small event with little visibility, she was one of the few entertainers who would join us in calling for LGBTQ representation, so it is only fitting to now honor her advocacy on what has become the largest LGBTQ stage in the world. From standing alongside LGBTQ people during the AIDS crisis, to fighting for marriage equality, to now uplifting transgender people and issues, Judith advocates with a unique passion and an unending dedication that uplifts.”
Light was honored with the 2019 Isabelle Stevenson Tony Award for her extensive philanthropy work, especially in fighting to end AIDS and championing LGBTQ and human rights.

So was Thorne born and raised Australian???
I would love to go. Wish I lived nearby.
They recast so they could bring another love interest for Brooke even though Kelly had great chemistry with WH! I like Ingo but once again Brad throwing a actor loyal one under he bus.
I’m wondering if he’ll turn out to be Liam’s father. I’ve only been watching about a year but from what I read Liam and Thorne bonded and Liam thought he was his father but DNA results proved he was Bill’s. Is it possible the results were switched and he’s really Thorne’s???
Awwwww…then he and Wyatt wouldn’t be brothers. I like how they’ve bonded. But, still, could be an interesting turn of events.
Tha could prove to be an interesting turn of events. Now that they are finally giving Thorne a storyline after all this time, I really wish WH was given the job. Being that I haven’t been a GH watcher since the mid-eighties, I am not familiar with Ingo’s work. But I guees I soon will be. And if it does come to fruitation that Thorne really is Liam’s father, that would mean that when Liam and Ivy had their brief fling a few years back, that they were flinging cousins because Ivy’s father and Eric, who of course is Thorne’s father are brothers. So that would be gross. But anyting can and does happen in the world of soaps. But I still say it was and is a complete waste to get rid of WH. I have been watching on and off since the first episode and to me he was and is the perfect Thorne. I guess we will have to wait and see.
Hi soapqueenforever
were you responding to my thought that Thorne might be Liam’s dad? Wasn’t sure…it picked up my thought but wasn’t posted as a reply.
Either way..it would be interesting, though I have to admit I enjoy Liam’s convoluted relationship with Bill…and as hideous as Bills’ actions have been it’s good to see how frantic he was when he realized Liam was still in the building (recent explosion). The love is there…buried under (no rubble pun intended) the completely different personalities/sensibilities/morals…
I never watched when Winsor Harmon was on (relatively new B&B viewer) but I did google him and he seemed great! Shame when they replace actors who are still ready, willing and able to resume their roles…
With that said, I don’t know if Ingo will be right for this part and I’ve never seen him act without his Aussie accent…but he IS a good actor and if one can get past the disappointment that WH has been replaced Ingo might just be very good in the role. As you said..wait and see….
Yes rebecca1 I was responding to your comment. I too, enjoy the crazy relationship that Bill and Liam share. If Thorne turns out to be Liam’s father, I seriously think it would break Bill’s heart. As the saying goes, tune in tomorrow….
I don’t know what Brad Bell’s issue is with Winsor Harmon but this recast was totally unnecessary. Surely it would be better to have Winsor in the role if he’s going to be back with Brooke so they could do flashbacks?
So happy to see Ingo coming to B & B !!!! Sorry to hear that they are writing, yet another, father / son triangle !!!!!! They need new writers with new material !!!!!!!!!!!!!
