Susan Lucci Rips Into ABC For Show’s Demise

Susan Lucci has played the iconic role of Erica Kane on All My Children for 41 years, so, she feels entitled to let ABC know exactly how she feels about ABC’s cancellation of the soap opera.

In the new epilogue to her book, All My Life, Lucci has a word or two for the network’s daytime chief, Brian Frons, who she feels was responsible for the decisions which lead to the show’s cancellation and replacement by The Chew, a much less costly produced show.

“An iconic show was losing out to greed … 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. [He] has what, for me, 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.”

In a statement, an ABC rep told the NY Times Post, “We have all the respect in the world for Susan, and are sorry she felt the need to write this epilogue to an otherwise incredible career.”

All is not lost for All My Children fans. ABC has licensed the two programs to Prospect Park, a media and production company which plans on continuing broadcasting AMC and One Life To Live past their ABC finales (set for September 23 and January 2012, respectively) via online formats and additional emerging platforms including internet-enabled television sets.

VIDEO CLIP OF THE DAY.

Yes, it’s true.  Susan Lucci of All My Children totally made out Wednesday with anchor Brian Kilmeade of Fox & Friends.

Don’t get too excited. The kiss was actually staged to show how you too can kiss soap-opera style. And who better to teach us this type-o-smooch than Lucci who has been on the soap since 1970 and smacked lips with or married just about every man who ever walked through –or hell probably even Mapquested–Pine Valley.

“First of all, there’s a lot of eye contact, Brian,” Lucci said. She then got close. Real close. And said, “You can even go like this and hide it a little bit.” 
Watch the rest for yourself:
