Brian Frons personally announced the latest addition to All My Children?
ReplyDeleteSo what is his grand scheme aka mad master plan with adding Jordi to AMC?
Frons has got to have some sort of gimmick up his sleeve. Nothing against Jordi and his abilities what-so-ever...I cannot help but be suspicious when Frons gets involved like this.
I remember when Frons pimped Jax and Sam as THE next supercouple on GH before one scene of theirs was aired. So I wonder what Frons is up to now.
