Chuck Pratt — who officially takes over as the head writer of All My Children on August 27 — has an issue with Fusion, the soap's hopelessly dopey cosmetics corporation.

The main problem?

"It took me three weeks to figure out what they actually do at Fusion and that Greenlee [Rebecca Budig] and Kendall [Alicia Minshew] run the place," Pratt told TV Guide.

The solution, according to Pratt, will be to take a cue from Ugly Betty, where he previously served as a consulting producer.

"I'm going to blast into Fusion and make it a real workplace," he said. "We're going to get into the drama of office politics. We'll see what it's like for the poor assistants and underlings when two spoiled rich girls are in charge."

Chuck Pratt will be putting Alicia Minshew to work!
