Ron Carlivati
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ron Carlivati is an American soap opera writer born in 1968[citation needed]. It was announced in the February 27th edition of Soap Opera Digest that Carlivati was promoted to Co-Head Writer of the ABC Daytime One Life to Live alongside Dena Higley. On June 4, 2007, Brian Frons announced that Carlivati would be promoted to head writer effective immediately. The first episode with Carlivati as Head Writer aired September 11th, 2007.
In the months that followed, the show experienced a creative resurgance, receiving great critical acclaim for revitalizing characters, routinely incorporating and honoring the show's long history and improving dialogue.[citation needed] However, the show's rating continued to slide, a problem that all daytime soap operas have been experiencing in recent years.
Carlivati's work aired until mid-February 2008 when the Writers Guide of America strike forced a new headwriter (Gary Tomlin) to take over. Once the WGA strike was settled, Carlivati returned as headwriter, with his first post-strike episode airing on May 2, 2008.
He is a lawyer, graduated from George Washington University, lives in New York City and has been recommended by Claire Labine.
