NEWS: Bob Guza on GH's Michael, Tuc Watkins, Nielsen

INTERVIEW: GENERAL HOSPITAL head writer Bob Guza
"I have never confirmed that [Michael] was [raped] and I'm not about to. Our focus right now is on the horrific experience of an 18- or 19-year-old who is thrown into a terrible situation like this. I just didn't want to make the story more specific at this point. However, that's not to say that I won't be getting very specific in three or four or five months down the line. This situation is going to rear its ugly head in a big way and Michael is going to have to deal with it. This is a story that needs to be parceled out."
