It’s not uncommon to see teen characters in soap operas dealing with alcoholism or alcohol-related issues, and on Guiding Light , EJ Bonilla’s character, Rafe Rivera, is currently going through his own struggle with the bottle. However, the actor has much hope for his troubled alter ego, whose life is close to spinning out of control. “I think Rafe’s smart enough that he realizes he doesn’t need [alcohol],” Bonilla told Soap Opera Digest .  “It’s just that easy way out, that quick fix. Once you sober up, you’re sort of worse off than you were beforehand.  I’d like to see him do better in school and get back on track and realize that if something goes wrong, it goes wrong and the bottle isn’t going to do anything.”
