As the ABC executive in charge of scripted programming, Patmore Gibbs championed and/or shepherded Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, Scandal, Once Upon a Time, Ugly Betty and Lost. Shonda Rhimes posted on Instagram that she was "the first exec to say 'maybe Shonda could write a TV show.' (https://www.instagram.com/p/Bg7Y8H3BmvL/) Then she fought like hell to get us the chance to make the Grey's Anatomy pilot." Bryan Fuller praised her (https://twitter.com/BryanFuller/status/979753190278098945) for helping him out with Pushing Daisies: "She gave thoughtful notes over wine, a true class act and genuine, lovely human," he tweeted.
