| Jo Ann Emmerich | Senior Vice President of Daytime Programming | 1989-1993 | Was gunning for CBS Daytime, and had planned for several actors to reprise their roles on All My Children (Mark Dalton, Ross & Julie Chandler, Greg Nelson, Paul Martin, Verla Grubbs, Nancy Grant), OLTL and GH. Viewed Y&R as a "serious threat", and wanted All My Children to go head to head with its main competitor at 12:30pm. Viewed The Bold And The Beautiful as an "uninspiring, poor man's version of Y&R". She wanted Paul Rauch to leave sooner than he did, hired Wendy Riche and Linda Gottlieb.

| Vicki Dummer | Vice-President of Times Square Studios | 2011-present | Joined ABC in 1996.[11] Canceled lifestyle talk show The Revolution after less than 3 months on the air. |
Criticism and controversy
- When Megan McTavish returned as Head Writer of All My Children in July 2003, she faced criticism for a story that depicted the rape of a lesbian character, Bianca Montgomery.[12] The show also faced opposition to a story of a transgender character in 2006.
- ABC Daytime dropped a storyline on One Life to Live which was to depict a school shooting rampage the day the Virginia Tech massacre occurred on April 17, 2007.[13]
- The Writers Guild of America East filed arbitration suits against ABC Daytime, claiming that they violated the strike-termination agreement by retaining replacement writers (those who choose Financial Core Status) who filled in during the strike on All My Children instead of bringing back the writers who had been on strike. “The strike-termination agreement does not allow the retention of replacement writers in lieu of allowing striking writers to return to their jobs. [ABC Daytime] are clearly violating this agreement,” said Ira Cure, senior counsel for the WGA East, in a statement. “They have left us no other option but to file arbitrations to ensure that our members will be afforded their rights outlined under this agreement.” [14]
- ABC Daytime and the entire network in general have been heavily criticized by soap opera fans ever since the cancellations of All My Children and One Life to Live.[15][16]
