[edit] Career
It was announced in the February 27 edition of Soap Opera Digest that Carlivati was promoted to Co-Head Writer of the ABC Daytime serial One Life to Live alongside Dena Higley. On June 4, 2007, Frank Valentini announced that Carlivati would be promoted to head writer effective immediately. The first episode with Carlivati as Head Writer aired September 11, 2007.
Due to One Life to Live's cancellation it was announced on December 1, 2011 that Ron would be taking over as headwriter on ABC's last soap General Hospital effective January 9, 2012. The first episode with Carlivati as head writer aired February 21, 2012.
[edit] One Life to Live
In the months that followed, the show experienced a creative resurgence, 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 ratings continued to slide, a problem that all daytime soap operas have been experiencing in recent years.
Carlivati's work aired until February 14, 2008, when the WGA strike forced a new headwriter (Gary Tomlin) to take over. Once the WGA strike was settled, Carlivati returned as headwriter, with his post-strike episodes hitting the air waves on May 2, 2008.
On June 20, 2008, Carlivati and his writing team won the Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Writing in a Drama Series for his work on OLTL.
With the end of One Live to Live's television run in January 2012, Carlivati is slated to join the writing team at General Hospital.[1]
[edit] Personal Life
Carlivati is a lawyer, graduated from George Washington University and lives in New York City.
