understand why they were not BOTH replaced because she's equally responsible for the state of the show. I still say that the buck starts/stops with Frank. Someone here theorized that FV maintains his job because he has proven to be great with their budget. Be that as it may--as EP, he has the power over casting, orders tweaks of plots and has veto power. The writers can't just change course w/o his approval.
Korte has been there forever and could be part of the problem. They need a fresh start with two new head writers. Chris was fired before based on his performance so bringing him back is baffling.
