Kristen Alderson Comments on “Adult” One Life to Live Story Line

Kristen Alderson is only 16 years old.

Yet the One Life to Live star admits she’s involved in a “very adult story line” on the show, telling SoapCentral.com:

“As far as being a 16-year-old and pregnant… being pregnant is an adult thing, but a lot of teenage girls go through that. 750,000 teenage girls every year get pregnant.”

Careful, Kids!

Such a figure may seem extreme, but a March of Dimes study confirms that more than 750,000 teenagers become pregnant each year; approximately 420,000 give birth.

“It’s a very big issue and we feel very honored to be doing such a powerful storyline and hopefully educate some viewers about teenage pregnancy because it’s a very big issue and it [can be] scary,” added the One Life to Live actress.

Carolyn Hennesy Speaks on General Hospital Role

During a recent interview, Carolyn Hennesy was asked how the character of Diane went from short-term role to series regular.

Here’s her reply:

I got a call from [General Hospital Casting Director] Mark Teschner and he said, ‘I’ve got two days of work for you. Do you want it?’ I said, ‘Absolutely.’ He said, ‘You’re playing Sonny’s lawyer.’ I said, ‘Great. Who’s that?’ I hadn’t watched General Hospital in years.

In a way it was a good thing because if I had known who Sonny Corinthos was and who Maurice Benard was I would have been very, very nervous because these are huge people in daytime. From day one I had the best time. I ended up practically chaining myself to the studio door and said, ‘You will find me something to do.’ I had no idea it would last so long.

The fans have just been so miraculously supportive. They have really taken Diane to heart. I think it’s because I say a lot of what they would say if they were sitting in a room with Sonny.
