Shady pasts of GH & OLTL characters?

Question

Who on OLTL & GH have shady pasts, like sexual crimes? I know Todd supposedly attempted to rape Nora on OLTL, Sonny hired underage strippers on GH, and Luke raped Laura then married her on GH. Any other characters like this? Tell me what they did.

I don't care about characters killing or being involved in other crimes, because it's not real, but sexual crimes are a no-no even on tv. Thomas G, during a recent trial, wasn't it revealed that Todd was just the lookout?

Answer 1

This is all for GH, as that's the only soap I'm familiar with:

Monica was accused of sexual harassment by Pierce Dorman, but I think she was innocent and he actually harassed her.

Jax was known to hire hookers at one point.

Courtney was a stripper, blackmailed into it by Coleman.

It's been hinted (and fanwanked) that Stavros sexually abused and/or raped Alexis when she was a child/teenager on Cassadine Island.

Connor raped Emily.

Answer 2

Todd and three of his friends DID rape Marty and then he attempted to rape Nora.

Sonny not only hired underage strippers he slept with underage girls and ran drugs

Jason has killed countless people

Luke did rape Laura and he attempted to kill Katherine Bell and frame Stefan

Mac was a con man

Tracy was married to a mobster (over on the CITY another soap where Jane Elliot played the same character) and was willing to allow Edward to die in order to control ELQ

Most soap characters have evil deeds in their past. Most like Luke, Tracy, Mac and Todd tend to rise above them even if they keep an edge and they have all paid a price for their crimes

Others like Sonny and Jason are never forced to face what they do and so are seen as heroes. Which is a shame as there are more interesting plots if they actually deal with the matter.

For example what if Kristina was molested in her day care center. Would that then force Sonny to confront what he did? Or what happens in Michael gets hooked on drugs? Or if Jason kills the wrong man in Sonny's service?

I tend to think it is shame that the writers do not think highly enough of the ability of Maurice and Steve to act or of the viewers to watch compelling TV to allow for more complicated and thought provoking plots.

Answer 3

Todd raped Marty and it was a very graphic scene.. :[

Elizabeth was raped on GH but it was by an unknown person.

Sonny probably has the worst "Sexual Crimes" past. He hired and slept with underage girls and fed them drugs so they would be strippers in his club. He was very mean to Karen and definatly sexually abused her.

Luke raped Laura at his disco but she later forgave him and they became a super couple for years.

GH is more known for it's mob violence then it's sex crimes.

Answer 4

Todd was NOT the lookout at Marty's rape - he was the instigator. He was angry with her because she had been tutoring him in math and he failed anyway; then she not only wouldn't sleep with him, she embarrassed him at the frat party where he and his friends were getting drunk, and he and two of his friends raped her. He was planning to rape and then kill Nora. Daytime usually stays away from storylines about sexual crimes, with the possible exception of OLTL. GH did the Luke/Laura thing, but then tried to clean it up and call it a seduction. Only 20 years later did they finally admit, on the show (Luke to Lucky) that it was actually a rape. Sonny hired underage strippers, but he never molested them, just took them off the streets.
OLTL has gotten more into sex crimes with the storyline of Vicki and her alteres, which were a result of molestation by her father; and Jessica's alter which was caused by one of Vicki's alters taking her to areas where men molested her. They have also dealt most openly with a gay storyline (Billy Douglas played by Ryan Phillipe back in the 90's). But for the most part, Daytime leaves sex crimes to Primetime.

Answer 5

Todd and some college buddies gang raped Marty Saybrooke. He attempted to rape Nora. He attempted to kill Margret Cochran, Tommy's mom. When Jack was a baby Todd tried to sell him on the black market because he didn't think Jack was his son. H e blackmails people to get what he wants. He faked his own death. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Todd_Manning

Viki's alter personality Niki killed Ben Davidson by pushing him out of a window. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria_Lord

Cristian murdered Tico Santi. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cristian_Vega#Family_and_relationships

Jerry killed Irina and hired the mercinaries to hold up the MetroCourt hotel. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Jacks

Answer 6

David Vickers also had a shady past w/ Todd when they sold Jack. David ended up in some foreign prison years ago. RJ also had a checkered past on OLTL. Lindsay & Dorian were in prison together too years ago and RJ helped them escape.

Answer 7

Todd did rape Marty Saybrooke in college, it was gang rape with 2 other guys, they also tried to say Kevin Buchannan was in on it but he wasn't. Todd wasn't the lookout, he was the one who orchestrated her rape.He attempted to rape Nora but was stopped by Luna who clocked him with a pipe, that was how he got the scar he so famously had for years.
Sonny ran a strip club and hored a teenage Karen to strip there and got her hooked on pills so she could strip.
It seems like all other rapists have been killed off the shows over the years.

Answer 8

Elizabeth was raped on GH by her teacher after Lucky had stiid her up to go the winter dance. and then Emily was raped by the same person

Answer 9

TODD ALSO TRIED 2 RAPE MARTY A SECOND TIME. ON DAYS OF OUR LIVES MANY PEOPLE DONT REMEMBER THAT JACK DEVEREAUX RAPED KAYLA BRADY BEFORE THEY REDEEMED HIM INTO THE "GOOD GUY". I THINK ITS PRETTY TASTELESS AND IT GLAMORIZES RAPE. WHEN THEY CANT COME UP WITH A STORYLINE THEY GRAB THEIR RAPE/KIDNAPPING/DNA DOOZY/SWITCHED BABY MANUAL
