The Brian Frons thread

As requested in the latest OLTL Eternity to Eterna thread.

He's the asshole who killed a lot of our favorite shows.

We could probably find other things to blame on him, too.

Well, he IS Julie's father...

He cancelled Search For Tomorrow, twice.

Forcing John McBANE on the OLTL audience was an abomination.

Made Days of Our Lives a campy cartoon of a soap and foisted Kristian "I still can't act after all these years" Alfonso on the general public as Hope (less)

Thank God more grounded REAL characters like Julie Williams came back

Julie was a great smartass in her heyday. Sammi Brady is just an ass.

Hello, anyone recollect any memorable biting zingers from R Strasser's twitter page? Does this guy have ANY fans?

by Anonymousreply 6December 22, 2018 7:42 PM

Strasser is miserable. As always.

Soon after he took over as head of NBC Daytime in March 1983, Frons ordered the show focus on the younger characters and push the older characters to the backburner.

Thus, Doug and Julie, the FACE OF THE SHOW, were pushed aside thanks to Frons.

Killed Search For Tomorrow twice.

Twice!

R8 Ron Carlivati has put them back on the front burner now on DAYS

As much as a 75 year old and a 92 year old can be on a front burner

Frons is the reason I graced Llanview with my presence for 8 years.

Michael Easton is supposed to be so handsome but I think his face looks like a shaved ballsack.

Hey Michael @r12, don't underestimate how much your butt buddy Frankie had an influence. After all, the hack gave you 4 roles on GH without any input from Frons.

Easton was so sexy & hot during Port Charles but he has lost so much weight since then..

You can't be super thin after a certain age.

The obsessive loon PC fans is precisely why ABC got stuck with Easton as well as Monaco and Thorsten Kaye. Only a complete dumbass like Frons would think "popular" actors from a low-rated and then canceled show should be forced down viewers' throats.

He killed AMC. For that, may he burn in hell.

by Anonymousreply 17December 23, 2018 2:13 PM

Let's face it - AMC was a mercy killing.

by Anonymousreply 18December 23, 2018 2:14 PM

He also framed Leslie Bacon, called the Heroin Hotline on Abbie Hoffman and bought the gun that Bremer used to shoot Wallace.

Played God on Santa Barbara. And in his job.

It was he, not Dawn Davenport, that blew Richard Speck.

I preferred Luke & Reid. I was livid when they needlessly killed Reid.

Susan Lucci's ghostwriter really roasted Frons in the paperback edition of Susan's autobiography.

by Anonymousreply 23December 27, 2018 1:17 AM

No, while AMC had issues, it could have been saved before Frons wrecked it beyond saving.

by Anonymousreply 24December 27, 2018 2:07 AM

Don't forget, Brian Frons played God in a 1989 fantasy sequence on Santa Barbara.
