All My Children fans:

I would like to point your attention to a pressing issue faced by many devoted All My Children fans. That issue is Charles (a.k.a. Chuck) Pratt Jr.

This petition will hopefully show ABC the mistake they made that forever changed the beloved soap, All My Children on August 27, 2008. That mistake is the hiring of American television writer, producer and director, Charles Pratt Jr. He was hired to be the Head Writer and Consulting Producer of All My Children.

Chuck Pratt Jr. has worked on numerous shows and contributed to their downfall.*

Ever since, he has been blaming storylines that backfired on the actors (http://daytimeconfidential.com/2009/04/amcs-chuck-pratt-blames-rianca-story-bomb-on-riegels-exit), writing characters into a corner that there is no way out of, and basically ruining our show. Over the past months, he has taken characters that we grew up with and turned them into people we no longer recognize. He has turned our leading males into misogynistic men we can no longer stand. Unliked characters and storylines are being shoved down our throats, and veterans are being written off, or even worse, killed left and right. His writing has forced actors to leave the show, because they can no longer accept how their character is being written. An impending death, and conversations with other fans has forced me to make this petition. All My Children has been on the air for nearly 40 years. Almost everyone who has watched this show has grown up with it, they've grown up with Erica, Ruth, Joe, Myrtle, Phoebe, Mona, and many others. Unlike the majority of AMC viewers, I have been watching since early 2003, but over these past six years I have seen this show change dramatically. People that are close to me have been watching since the beginning. We would hate to see our show completely destroyed, even though it is well on its way.

"Nothing undermines creative integrity like making characters act out of character just for the sake of advancing plot." Entertainment Weekly.
Unfortunately Charles Pratt Jr. has committed this sin numerous times since August 27, 2008.

For me, watching soaps are is a time when I can get away from normal life, and peek into the lives of the residents of Pine Valley, Llanview, Genoa City, Springfield, Oakdale, among others.

I just hope that people take this petition very seriously. Feel free to contact me for any reason. Both good and bad!

Thanks for reading and signing!
