2 of the GREATEST actresses in DAYTIME history & 1 of the BEST couples and chemistry I have EVER seen TIL this DAY!!!!! 2 of the greatest DIVAS in daytime !!!!!!
True that the actresses were best friends who had lots of fun playing bitter enemies. I say Viki and Dorian the characters became cordial with each other at that point. Good that they were able to hug one another without killing each other.
Seeing these scenes again after 11 years, man. The feels. Damn ABC and their stupid decision to keep only GH. So many stories, characters, memorable scenes that we could've had. But now so many have passed on and Soaps are a shell of their former selfs now. SMFH
God this makes me homesick, these excellent women were family to me, in fact I spent many more hours with them than some actual family members! I miss them terribly and find it absolutely ridiculous that these wonderful actors were sidelined due to ageism, misogyny and the prejudice against daytime actors in Hollywood. Pu these two in a scene with Streep and somehow Streep would blend into the background because these two are fire 🔥! We will always love and miss you ladies 🥲
10:31...I love how Dorian has the humility to admit that life in Llanview, including the high drama will go on even long after she's left for DC. I have the feeling that Dorian was able to create a wonderful, more peaceful new life for herself in the relative safety of a big, diverse city like DC. In DC, she was free to be her quirky, brash, zany, introverted, deep-thinking self without fear of gossip or retaliation.
Rashanda Grier unpopular opinion I will always imagine Dorian as a red head lol 😂 even when I look I back at Robin’s 70’s and 80’s work the brown hair just throws me completely off 😂😂😂
My favorite characters on this soap were Vicki, Dorian and Asa. Those characters were so aptly played by Erika, Robin and Phil. Such talent that made this soap opera a treat to watch.
My three faves are Dorian, Nora and Carlotta. Dorian is my absolute fave soap opera character of all time. Underneath that fiery bravado is a very sensitive lady. And underneath that sometimes prickly exterior is a sweet person with a good heart.
These two could have done a remake of what ever happened to baby Jane. I loved them in their scenes together, Robin and Erika were like DYNAMITE together. They both should have been A list Actresses like Meryl Streep, Diane Keaton,Judy Dench, Kathy Bates etc. I will say also that the ladies that I mentioned all have won Oscars. These two ladies would have won Oscars as well. They are in the same league as the ladies I mentioned. I miss seeing them on One Life To Live. I can only HOPE that these gifted ladies will show up on another show in other characters. I hope they keep in touch with each others, because they seem like REAL pals in real life. Brava to these ladies.🌹🌹🌹🌺🌺🌺💐💐💐🌷🌷🌷🌸🌸🌸🌈🌈🌈
It was. The actresses are actually close friends in reality. Erica is actually far more stable and far more down-to-Earth than Viki also. It took a lot of talent for those fine actresses to portray characters who were bitter enemies.
Dorian always liked Viki, although they were opposites. And, vice versa! Erika Slezak & Robin Starsser are the best of friends in real life! LONG LIVE THEM!!
9:18...Wow...Viki actually admitting that she was wrong about something for a change. And especially Viki admitting that she was wrong to accuse Dorian of "murdering" Victor.
I wish the show would come back, at least as an On line series - just because the Prospect Part online version had problems doesn't mean the show wouldn't do well in another inception ~
7:44..."I'm probably a frememy." Introverted Dorian _hated_ that term. She knew that Viki, much as Viki is trying to affect this "nice" front, was not really her friend. It was only because Dorian was the mayor, then senator that had Viki in awe. Viki also knew that Dorian was in a position of power, so she needed to be on Dorian's good side for later favors Viki and her family would eventually need. Dorian knew this and saw through Viki to the end.
They give love hate relationships a new meaning. I miss these two ladies going at it. Now that Robin strasser is going to days of our lives, maybe they can create a new character for Erika Sleazak to play to spar with Robin's character
I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY WAS ONE LIFE TO LIVE AND ALL MY CHILDREN CANCELLED. THEY WERE THE BEST SHOWS. BETTER THAN WHAT THEY PUT IN ITS PLACE. WHY IS GH STILL ON? NOW THAT SHOW NEEDS TO GO.
I wanted to add oltl had the strongest actresses on any soap ever. Susan haskell, Hillary b smith robin Strasser Erika slezak Gina tognoni kim Zimmer and they were all on together the last year . id like to add Fiona Hutchinson Jessica tuck and Kassim DePaiva and Judith licht not too shabby either . and on a level just below bree williamson I thought was pretty fantastic .
@@greenlee7smythe Oh, you darn right they are. Erika was heartbroken about doing this final scene with Robin that she still refuses to watch it, herself.
9:18...STOP THE PRESSES!!! Viki actually _APOLOGIZING_ to Dorian?????? That has _never_ happened...good to see that Viki's beginning to come out of her fantasy world and has stopped blaming Dorian for Victor's death and for everything else.
@@vasiparvin5113The original Dorian - who I read was one cold, evil broad - killed Victor by withholding his medication in 1976. Strasser's Dorian was bad but had more vulnerability and humor. So it was always up in the air with her version. I somehow don't see this Dorian doing the deed. She couldn't even effectively kill Mitch Lawrence. She claims she did, though.
Back in the Seventies, Dorian was a doctor at Llanview Hospital and charged in a patient's death due to negligence Her and Dr. Mark Toland (Tommy Lee Jones) covered up the crime and Dr. Larry Wolek very nearly took the fall. Dorian and Mark argued over what to do about it and she fell down a flight of stairs and was comatose. Upon awakening, Dorian confessed. The hospital board voted to fire her. Viki was a prominent member of the board and, as we find out nearly four decades later, that she was the lobe voice that voted against her being terminated. Anywho, Dorian blamed Viki and that's what started the rivalry. Dorian, would stoke the flames further when she ended up marrying Victor Lord, Viki's father. That is what REALLY started the war
@@kdizzle79: I think it was also more than that. Viki's DID was well-hidden, but perceptive Dorian was first to see a couple of those alters, perhaps at a hospital shift or at a board-doctor meeting. Viki maybe became paranoid at the idea of Dorian somehow exposing those alters and was subtly hostile toward Dorian, which then gave Dorian the impression that Viki was behind the decision to fire Dr. Dorian from the hospital. I think that's what started their feud. Viki was far, far from blameless there.
They really ruined Clint with the recast. I get they wanted to make him more like Asa, but it's just out of character after all the years of the good-natured, down to earth Clint Ritchie.
That's actually not accurate. Clint Ritchie didn't pass away until late 2008-early 2009. They recasted Clint because Ritchie didn't want to do the role anymore.
That's true, but I wouldn't blame the recast (because Jerry verDorn isn't a bad actor), just... really bad writing. Even if it is out of character, no one could be like Asa... except Asa.
Clint was never "good-natured" or "down-to-Earth." He just was better at hiding his corrupt, evil side better in early episodes. In the 1980s-1990s, Clint was also more adept at affecting the "down-home cowboy" facade. I laugh so hard still when Clint and Julia were having their fling in late 1989 and Clint pretended to "hate" caviar and black-tie parties, yet Julia sees through Clint's act when she sees Clint enjoying caviar and expensive wines at a black-tie party.
@@vasiparvin5113: I've seen that but I think it was that Dorian felt a tad guilty about delaying Victor's medicine. Viki is forced to admit once again that she also had the final role in killing Victor. Victor didn't treat Dorian well later in their marriage. In any case, I was glad to see Dorian exonerated.
My two favorite ladies from One Life To Live Viki and Dorian
Two badass queens of daytime 👸👑# daytime royalty
I miss One Life to Live so so much it was the best story soap opera

these two are legends !!!!! out of all viki s partnerships Dorian and viki were the couple of oltl. thank u ladies for many years of acting clinics
Viki & Dorian were the best of friends on the show & in real life! They are like sisters!
True that the actresses were best friends who had lots of fun playing bitter enemies.
I say Viki and Dorian the characters became cordial with each other at that point.
Good that they were able to hug one another without killing each other.

Every time I watch this it brings tears to me eyes
I can say without a doubt that as much as they have been enemies, Dorian and Viki really are each other's best friends
They should have remained enemies
Vicki and Dorian were like Katherine and Jill on the young and the restless. They had a love / hate relationship. They were the best.
I am glad that Dorian n Viki made peace with eachother
Im going to missed dorian and viki scenes together they rocks.
They were better than Brooke and Erica
Juan Lee i know i really liked all my children and one life to live.
+Rashanda Grier All My Children was my favorite Erica Kane still is. One Life To Live is second I love Dorian and Viki.
Got That Right!!!
Rashanda Grier unpopular opinion I will always imagine Dorian as a red head lol 😂 even when I look I back at Robin’s 70’s and 80’s work the brown hair just throws me completely off 😂😂😂
It was nice to see Vicki,& Dorian make piece.
1987 2000 then 2011 but when viki said I love you I lost it I still.get emotional
Perfect final scenes for Robin Strasser and Erika Slezak aka Victoria and Dorian.
Viki and Dorian hairstyles were gorgeous.
It was so great to see Dorian escape to DC.

My very favorite soap opera friendship. exciting and fun every time these ladies were together on the screen..
10:43 That was a genuine moment between Erika and Robin ☺
It was. The actresses are actually close friends in reality.
Erica is actually far more stable and far more down-to-Earth than Viki also.
It took a lot of talent for those fine actresses to portray characters who were bitter enemies.
Dorian was after all Vicki's stepmother. No wonder their relationship has endured all these years. They have a love/hate relationship.
My favourite story ever. Robin and Erika were the best together. Miss to this day.
I love them dorian and vicki #queens
I just love these two and I miss these two
How many times have those two been trapped somewhere together? They are HILARIOUS together.
IKR. Yeh, there were lots of funny scenes with them together.
Daytime royalty. Love these two
I miss OLTL and the rivalry between Vicki and Dorian.
Vicki has barely aged over the years!
Dorian always liked Viki, although they were opposites. And, vice versa! Erika Slezak & Robin Starsser are the best of friends in real life! LONG LIVE THEM!!
9:18...Wow...Viki actually admitting that she was wrong about something for a change.

There is none...freedom of expression and all.
Have a very good evening, dear.
😁😁😁
@Zach-I was thinking the same thing about Dorian, too. Beautiful ladies.
i just love Dorian and Vicky....
This person is on Days of Our Lives. I'm watching this because I don't know the person.
One last rumble until the finale match rock on dueling divas of daytime
Dorian,& viki like Krystal,& Alexis.One of a kind.
Viki and Dorian are my favorite ladies ❤

Ronald Snoddy exactly! I get tired of mob life and pointless drama of nothing less.
Money. ABC was tired of paying for the shows.
And I'm watching this again in 2024

How many hours and hours have they played scenes together. Can two actresses know each other better?
Brian Turner are they best friends in real life?
@@greenlee7smythe Oh, you darn right they are. Erika was heartbroken about doing this final scene with Robin that she still refuses to watch it, herself.
@@greenlee7smythe:
Yep! Which makes the talent of both of these fine actresses amazing, best friends pretending to be characters who hate each other.
🎉 I liked when Viki and Dorian made Peace ✌️
Not them using the same music they used on the Martin family montage for the final _All My Children_ episodes.
So glad that Dorian _finally_ put on much-needed weight...she was too scrawny for too many years.
True. I just saw her in a 1979 clip when she first started and she was supermodel slim.
@@JhomasE:
She was anorexic skinny by the 1980s...she did not look healthy.
Dorian was a great evil step mother to Vicky amazing epic relationship
And Viki was an amazing wicked stepdaughter...it went both ways.
9:35...Yes!!! Another long overdue apology from Viki!!!!!
Dorian would've killed as a real housewife of Beverly Hills
Honestly. I wish General hospital would’ve been the one off the air it’s just not that good like it use to be. I liked oltl and amc were the best.
No lies told here
9:18...STOP THE PRESSES!!! Viki actually _APOLOGIZING_ to Dorian??????
That has _never_ happened...good to see that Viki's beginning to come out of her fantasy world and has stopped blaming Dorian for Victor's death and for everything else.

Where were Viki and Dorian trapped at 12:45? Does anybody have a clip of that? Thank you.
1234agor that's from when Dorian hired someone to kidnap Viki and he turned on her and kidnapped them both and locked them up.
too many times. google or youtube it. I know one of the time is when dorian found a secret room entrance thorugh the library
While I truly miss oltl to this day Dorian is one of the select few characters that i don't
You miss her so much
@@gusalthorp6138 no, I was grateful when she left
