One Life To Live Writer Reacts to Controversial Story Line

"I understand the initial impulse," Head Writer Ron Carlivati told Soap Opera Digest. "The goal is to more to take these two characters who have an unbelievable, dark history with each other and explore where we could go if they didn't have that obstacle — the rape — between them."
