Episode 1050

Eden participates to a talk-show on the victims of rapes, together with two actors from the soap-opera General Clinic. She is first shocked that in this soap, a rape victim could eventually fell in love with her attacker. In live, Eden reproaches to the actors to pretend to know the feelings of victims of rapes, without ever having lived through this terrible experience. Meanwhile, Wendy MacMahon, a nurse from the hospital, is at her turn raped in her home. She calls Eden for help at the television studio...

The title of the soap to which participate the two actors present in the talk-show is a reference to the soap General Hospital. This latter had been deeply criticised when in 1979, it had dared to make Laura's rape less traumatic, by having her fall in love with her rapist, Luke. The French doubling of Santa Barbara unfortunately erased any reference by directly translating the title General Clinic in General Hospital.
