This storyline aired around the same time that _Days of Our Lives_ had Deidre Hall portraying _"Dr. Marlena Evans"_ possession by the devil. The scene where _"Tommy"_ emerges and chases after _"Dorian"_ in her house was so shocking (at the time) I found myself thinking "YIKES! I thought the possession story was on _Days_ not _One Life!"_ *"Playing Viki can be quite a strain..."* still slays! Her scenes with Tuc Watkins as _"David Vickers"_ were Emmy caliber as well! VIKI: "YOU WEPT OVER FATHER'S WATCH! What laugh you must have had behind our backs'-" DAVID: "No..." VIKI: "You didn't want a dime! Why would you? All you had to do was sit back and wait, then you could go get your nifty little secret inheritance!" DAVID: "Viki, you are making this sound so much worse than it is..." VIKI: [Literally hopping mad!] *"HOW?!* DAVID, HOW IN GOD'S NAME COULD IT GET ANY WORSE?! You are still lying to me! THIS ENTIRE HOUSE OF CARDS YOU HAVE BUILT FOR YOURSELF, HAS FALLEN DOWN AROUND ME- HOWEVER, YOU ARE STILL LYING! Still saying you didn't know anything about the money! Dorian knew it all along!"
The chemistry between Robin Straser as Dorian and Erika Slezak as Viki was always off the charts. The second longest soap character rivalry after Jill and Katherine on the Young and the Restless.
Wow just noticed that at the 3:11 mark on the previous video with Jean and Dorian and here at the 2:48 mark, its exactly the same!! this must have been a habit during those times of filming. They would reuse some scenes over and over!
She cannot abide "Viki's" emotionality. It makes her weak, as far as "Jean" is concerned, so that aspect of "Viki" is very tiresome (or _exhausting,_ to be more specific) to her.
After "Jean" forced "Dorian" to call "Cassie" from a mobile phone, "Cassie" mentioned the call to _"Jean/Viki"_ and said that the police could tell that the call came from somewhere in Llanview, so "Jean's" story about "Dorian" being in Spain with "David" had fallen apart. She had to come up with a new plan...
Jean really flew to Spain just to send a letter back to her home. That's boss level 100.
I Love the line "playing Viki can be quite a strain" Ha ha ha the writer had lots of fun with this storyline!!! Best one in soap history

i gotta say Jean Randolph is the best alter Viki has .. she rocks!!
Take that Niki!
Tori is my fav.
Nicki Smith is my favorite
I'm team Tommy lmao 🤣😂😅I BE WEAK LAUGHING AT TOMMY 😆

Third would be Stephanie and Brooke on The Bold And The Beautiful.
I sure did love all those episodes, OLTL was and always be my favorite soap, wish it would come back, and I loved Erika
I love this storyline
The very best of daytime at the time! Thank so much for posting!
i love jean shes so strict all she needs is a whip.
i sure the writers did made a good storyline for viki and they did a great job for viki creating alters in her life.
they don't call her mean jean for nothin!

so what happen before this and after and jeans a is real good and the woman i forgot how to spell her name but she is a great actor
Dorian and Todd were the first to see through Viki, Jean and Niki and their BS.
Wow jean is cold as ice. Is there a bathroom down there ? Man she has Dorian chained to a wall !
"Not that she's not a dear." So is this confirmation that Jean actually LIKES Viki? I got the feeling she doesn't.
She cannot abide "Viki's" emotionality. It makes her weak, as far as "Jean" is concerned, so that aspect of "Viki" is very tiresome (or _exhausting,_ to be more specific) to her.
@@themirrorsofmymind That makes sense. I was just asking if Jean likes Viki _herself_ despite not caring for her emotionality.
@@PintheDog I think that she genuinely cares about Viki; but there are definitely things about Viki that she disdains.
I forget how Dorian gets out?
She gets out a couple of months later after Jean releases her from the secret room
After "Jean" forced "Dorian" to call "Cassie" from a mobile phone, "Cassie" mentioned the call to _"Jean/Viki"_ and said that the police could tell that the call came from somewhere in Llanview, so "Jean's" story about "Dorian" being in Spain with "David" had fallen apart.

Here's what I never get when they have kidnapping scenes. How is the kidnapped person going to the bathroom? I guess that's why it's TV.
omg, i did too!! LOL!
Jean was my Favorite of All. Didn't like her hair. But I love her personality.
