I remember Viki’s visit to heaven in the spring of 1987. I was undergoing radiation treatment for Hodgkin’s lymphoma at the time, and I tried to time my treatments so I could watch OLTL in the waiting room of Cornell/NY Hospital. It was good to have something to take my mind off the treatment. I’ve been cancer free since the fall of 1987.
Mitch Laurence is one of the greatest Villain.. Viki would have never imagined that one day Mitch will return alive and claim her daughter to be his own..
I so loved Viki. I told my husband one time, I would have loved to have been her. Money, poise, prestige, huge family.. Then he says, "you would want her multiple personalities?".. And i said.. "oh yeah". Lol. And i loved Dorian. Loved tuning in to what she was wearing. Oh the jewelry...😁 and the relationship between the two women were the best in all of daytime. Watching these feels like visiting old friends..My favorite Clint.. i would buy all these old soaps if they ever put them on the market.
Those scenes with Viki/Victor are wonderful. I wish they hadn't retconned him into such a monster, even if the 1995 story was very strong. Mitch and Viki are great too. Mitch is like a combo of Jacob Marley and Baltar from Battlestar Galactica. I love the "I'm gon' win."
Wow the diary went all the way back to 1987. The diary was an important character of it's own. It revealed so many bombshells & drove so much story til the end. It revealed irene slept with victor , tina was vikis sister. Todd was vikis brother & the heir to 27.8 million. A forgery got Dorian off death row. A page was ripped out leading to todd having a twin victor lord jr. David vikis alters & Dorian on the hunt for that diary & forged that david was the lord heir but turned out ok for david as he became a Buchanan. Poor viki didnt realize victor & irene didnt just produce tina but todd ,& victor jr. Has their ever been 3 full siblings ever on oltl ? It's always half sibs. It's scary to think but mitch does have a point about evil. Bad does sadly over come good. When he says good underestimates evil bc u cant conceive of something evil coming so u are not prepared. I would like to believe good over comes evil but evil is out there & is usually stopped but a lot of bad happens that cant be changed. So evil does leave collateral damage
Well mitch was only visiting from hell hence the black garb & covered in chains. U answered ur own question Victor was severely rewritten into sadly the worst monster ever. Rauch first opened the door to the beginning of victors destruction. I have never seen one clip of Victor alive in his first run but in Erika's foundations interview she said the actor who played Victor would be rolling over in his grave seeing what they did to that character. She talked about w/ fondness how Victor was a wonderful character very warm very very moral w/ the utmost integrity. She said he also would make a joke like once a year. Irene being in heaven at that point yes but when they brought her back from the dead she was pure evil. Such a crazy story Irene dumped 16 year old tina off w/ viki cause she dying of cancer. Her of all people was approached by the Cia that went Rouge. Why would the Cia be interested in some random woman w/ a child? Anyway she is brought back & reveals she had twins & for some reason she kept Victor Jr dumped her daughter on viki to reunite 2 sisters & to work at some compound doing illegal activities. She made sure Todd was brought to her & drugged & tortured her own son for 8 years. Decided it was time for Victor Jr to get Todd's money so she gives him a scar which I don't get the purpose of that scene other than to be creepy & gives him plastic surgery brain washes him to think he's Todd. That's crazy then she tries to kill Todd blow up the his family. It also must have stung that she said Victor Jr was special needs. The saddest part Irene as crazy as she became made sure all her inheritance which came from Victor Jr went to tina. So a gone mad crazy person gave tina finally her inheritance. Again I felt bad that those at court were imploring tina to give it Todd saying it was his & his children/grandchild would be taken care of by it. Excuse me but didnt tina have a right to something after all those years of not having a dime from Victor while so many were living off victors money.
