Starr's first sexual experience on ONE LIFE TO LIVE is being taken very seriously by the powers at ABC Daytime. "In telling the story of Starr having sex for the first time, we are tackling an issue that has been covered very prominently in both entertainment and the media," said executive producer Frank Valentini. In so doing, ABC Daytime has partnered with The National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy to make sure accurate information is going out to the viewers. Also, on March 7, Kristen Alderson (Starr) began her first of a series of blogs that will appear on onelifetolive.com. The blog, titled "Start Talking with Kristen," will be posted on Fridays after the East Coast broadcast of OLTL at 3 p.m.

MARCH 7
The message boards were on fire the minute Starr and Cole had sex on OLTL, with many fans expressing their concerns about 16-year-old Kristen Alderson's involvement in such adult scenes, but Alderson is urging fans to stick with the story. "If I didn’t want to do it, I wouldn't do it, and it's for a good message," Alderson tells Soap Opera Digest. "It's getting parents to talk to their teenage kids about it; it’s an issue that is going on today. What got me really upset, though, is this blogger sent out an e-mail to everyone and said, 'I don't know if you saw today's episode of ONE LIFE TO LIVE, but putting Kristen Alderson in a sex scene.... for Frank Valentini to do that to Kristen is awful and I say we boycott.' I thought it was very tastefully done and I couldn't believe that someone could watch that episode and afterward, want to boycott it! It gets people talking. Kids do feel those emotions, and they need to be careful."

Alderson adds that she and 23-year-old co-star Brandon Buddy (Cole) worked to make sure the scenes were not overtly sexual and that their real-life age difference was never a concern. "We're really good friends, and a kid that’s 16 year old has made me feel 10 times more uncomfortable than Brandon would ever make me feel. The story is about two teenagers. It's not that Cole Thornhart is a 23-year-old; he's 17!"
