It's amazing and ironic that it was Dorian...who Viki spent years hating...who was first to see Viki's alters way back in the mid-1970s. For years, perceptive, sharp Dorian was the only one who saw Viki's alters. It took until the late 1980s for anyone else to recognize Nikki Smith, then until 1995 for anyone else but Dorian to see Viki's other alters.
I remember watching on this day, and when Viki/Tori commented about how Victor ritualized sexually abuse her, it was penetrating and devastating, and Clint Ritchie was amazing as a scene partner, playing the devastation at the reveal from the woman he loved.
Everyone hated Dorian. Deep down she cared about Vicki. she hid this awful truth for many years to protect her, even almost going to the chair! Dorian was honest , in your face. Two of the greatest actresses that ever was on daytime! Brilliant performances in this storyline!
“I want you gone” that’s a classic line from Robin Stausser & Dorian. I still remember it from 28 years ago. Small moment but important. I would be the next year of story f my for these two. Excellent time in One Life to Live. Producing, acting & writing all A+++!
Im old enough (barely) to remember Victor when he was alive. Making him an actual rapist? They really shot the continuity of this show to hell in the later years .... especially when they retroactively made Larry older than Viki.
I have a theory that eventually by 2014 or so, Viki ended up in a mental hospital for life. She kept discontinuing treatment far too soon and would inevitably have a preventable relapse and get herself into trouble once again. What mayhem Viki almost always wreaked both in her own life and in those around her, especially her family.
It was set up that Dorian technically caused viki to officially fracture into the existence of more altars. Niki existed then it was revealed that Tori actually finished Victor off in 1976 although Dorian attempted to murder but failed. Even Erika Slezak admitted that part of the reason they went so heavy with the did storyline is because both Dorian and Viki they were out of storylines and they decided to properly explain the medical reasons why a person can get multiple personalities and they needed to finally clarify how niki got there
15 sec u can see vikis alters emerging esp tori even a bit of Jean plotting when bos banging on the door viki would never direct Dorian to " get rid of him" it's not viki anymore
Turning Victor into a pedophile... bull s*** Giving Viki all these different personalities, also bull s***. There was nothing wrong with just Viki/Nikki. Making Viki the killer of Victor, stupid. Then having Victor alive... lame. OLTL 70's and 80's, the best
I was misdiagnosed for years and this show helped me to realize that I have dissociative identity disorder, thank you Erika Sleazak and Bree Williams❤️🤍💙
