Please get your facts right: Sean O'Connor did not 'kill off' Family Affairs. Channel 5 killed off Family Affairs - O'Connor was brought in to build on the show finally makingsome headway (critically, at least - wth BSA trophies), but Channel 5 decided to pull the plug regardless.
And, varied as his CV may be, I hardly think someone who's clocked up stints on EE, FA, Footballers' Wives and The Archers is someone 'who doesn't like soaps' ...
