Career

He is most notable for being the Executive Producer of CBS Daytime's As the World Turns from 1988-1995. During the 1988 Writers Guild of America strike, he became the show's Head Writer.

He won the Editor's Award at the 9th Annual Soap Opera Digest Awards.

In 1995, CBS was widely believed to have engineered the infamous producers musical chairs. With the help of Procter and Gamble Productions, Another World's EP, John Valente, went to ATWT; GL's EP, Jill Farren Phelps, to AW and Michael Laibson took over at GL, leaving ATWT's EP, Laurence Caso the odd man out. He was offered to be a Creative Consultant on ABC Daytime's The City in 1996 but turned it down.

Prior to becoming ATWT's EP in 1988, Caso had been CBS VP for Daytime. His replacement was Lucy Johnson.

Famous quotes containing the word career:

    In time your relatives will come to accept the idea that a career is as important to you as your family. Of course, in time the polar ice cap will melt.
    Barbara Dale (b. 1940)

    From a hasty glance through the various tests I figure it out that I would be classified in Group B, indicating “Low Average Ability,” reserved usually for those just learning to speak the English Language and preparing for a career of holding a spike while another man hits it.
    Robert Benchley (1889–1945)

    Work-family conflicts—the trade-offs of your money or your life, your job or your child—would not be forced upon women with such sanguine disregard if men experienced the same career stalls caused by the-buck-stops-here responsibility for children.
    Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)
