NBC did not want this to air when the writers went to them w/ their proposal on how to handle the storyline, but it aired regardless, and it gave the critical acclaim. Marcy Walker, who was pregnant filming these scenes, won the Daytime Emmy award for this outstanding performance, and A Martinez received an Emmy nomination.

There was much written about the storyline in the press at the time -- especially when the show used a fictious talk-show to discuss Eden's rape and the rape-turned-romance of two characters on a fictious soap opera. Much was written about that not-so-subtle jab at GH at the time, too!

I remember watching these as a kid and it was so graphic and ultimately traumatizing. JFP really made the scenes brutal & violent in such an uncompromising way. They still make me cringe.
