I thought she was referring to the tendency of Daytime Soaps to use rape to launch romantic entanglements and pivotal figures (Luke/Laura, Todd Manning, even Roger/Holly on GL, not to mention the ridiculous 'he said, she said' case of Paul and Christine of Y&R and Jessica and Marshall of ATWT).

You have to admit that rape has been used as a storytelling staple in daytime soaps. It's an unfortunate history. There once was a time when it was gripping and socially aware but now it just appears to be fodder to give actors a chance to emote with no genuine consequences.

As talented as these actors are, the idea of a rapist become a newspaper magnate or your local neighborhood entrepreneur is just ridiculous.
