The creator/executive producer of �What About Brian� is Dana Stevens and the executive producers are J.J. Abrams, Jeff Judah, Gabe Sachs, Thom Sherman and Bryan Burk. The series is produced by Touchstone Television in association with Bad Robot. The series premiered April 23, 2006.

SOAPnet, the new way to watch soaps, offers same-day episodes of popular daytime dramas including �All My Children,� �Days of Our Lives,� �One Life to Live,� �General Hospital� and �The Young and the Restless� at night for convenient viewing.
