Even though soap operas “All My Children” and “One Life to Live” are still going to have a life on the internet, AOL TV via the New York Post is reporting that “Children” star Susan Lucci has written a piece against ABC daytime exec Brian Frons in the epilogue of her book, “All My Life: A Memoir.”
The claims Lucci puts against Frons include his decisions to hire a new head writer in 2008 who oversaw writing Lucci wrote was “subpar,” to move the show to New York from Los Angeles and pushed the shows creator, Agnes Nixon, out.
Lucci also writes that Frons said to her in April that “Children” would be replaced by a cheaper-to-make food show. “An iconic show was losing out to greed,” she wrote. “…If Brian Frons could show his bosses that he could save the network 40 percent…he could keep his job even if the rest of us lost ours. I watched Brian Frons’ decisions destroy the production of our show and the lives of people on both sides of the country.”
She also wrote that he seemed “self-congratulatory” when he told the cast about the cancellation. For her, she wrote, he “has what…is that fatal combination of ignorance and arrogance. I cannot fathom any network executive choosing to alienate millions of loyal viewers in these economic times.”
