FLASHBACK: Howarth Leaves OLTL 1995

THE PLOT SICKENS

TIME Magazine
November 27, 1995

Roger Howarth certainly isn't the first soap star to leave a show to pursue a film career (ever hear of Laurence Fishburne or Demi Moore?) or because the plots were too dopey. But he may be one of the few who left for moral reasons. "I was hired to play Todd, the serial rapist and murderer," says the Emmy-winning Howarth of his role on ONE LIFE TO LIVE, "and then I became Todd the erotically charged heir to $27.5 million." When the rapist maniac became a long lost son and his criminal tendency was transformed into something sexually exciting, Howarth decided to exit.
