    Soap Opera Star Fired Because She’s a Christian?

    Soap Opera Star Fired Because She’s a Christian?

    Patricia Mauceri says she was fired and abruptly replaced for objecting to a gay storyline because of her religious beliefs.

    Patricia Mauceri played the recurring role of Carlotta Vega on "One Life to Live" for the last 14 years. But when she objected to how the writers wanted her deeply religious character, a Latina mother, to handle a storyline involving homosexuality, she objected. And for that she claims she was fired.

    Mauceri, 59, a devout Christian, told FOX News that character Vega's gay-friendly dialogue was not in line with the character she helped create by drawing on her own faith.

    "I did not object to being in a gay storyline. I objected to speaking the truth of what that person, how that person would live and breathe and act in that storyline," she said. "And this goes against everything I am, my belief system, and what I know the character's belief system is aligned to."

    Mauceri said she was replaced despite offering changes to the script and hoping for a compromise.

    What do you think?  Should she have been fired?  Should she have been surprised that they wanted her to do this role?  And how far can/should a Christian actor go?  Should they play prostitutes, child molestors, pimps, etc.?  Should they kiss someone who isn't their wife or shoot love scenes?  If their character supports homosexuals should they quit (or be fired)?  What do you think?
