Kitty Redstone January 27, 2015 Share January 27, 2015 This part was particularly interesting: But it is an issue. Rare is the actress who can stay busy into her forties, fifties, and beyond—daytime, primetime, anytime—which makes what’s happening at GH something close to a miracle. Grahn: Things didn’t change on our show until Vicki Dummer took over [at ABC Daytime]. She and Frank and our head writer, Ron Carlivati, are age-blind. And now the ratings are up.Hughes: They find older, powerful women sexy instead of something to fear. When women are in charge at the network, it doesn’t become a question.Elliot: I’m not so sure about that. Over the years, we’ve had several women running ABC Daytime and executive producing GH, and they were quite male-centric. They were very busy sucking up to the guys on the show and would dismiss the rest of us. Makes me like JE even more for not letting JFP off the hook for her older-women-hating ways. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4122-gh-in-the-news-the-pc-press-club/page/50/#findComment-761725
