She later moved back to the west coast where she produced a newsmagazine show at Paramount television called Hard Copy. She continued to freelance for ABC News 20/20 and went on to produce other newsmagazine, reality TV shows and specials such as The Susan Powter Show (Multimedia Inc), Caught in the Act (NBC/Dick Clark Productions) and Case Closed (USA Network).

Aloe's first executive producer credit was for the Columbia TriStar television movie The Princess and the Marine. She followed up with another TV executive producer credit on Downtown: A Street Tale.
