I wish Andrea as Tina could have stayed. She, Erika Slezak as Viki and Robin Strasser as Dorian could have carried the show for years to come! Luckily, Dorian and Viki basically did aside from Robin's brief leaving and several backburner stints for both characters.
@Abbyviki at the time this box was found it was shortly after Tracy James set off a bomb in Llanfair..b/c the secret room had been built as a bomb shelter Llanfair didn't come tumbling down..but the secret box was unearthed- the police took the box and the fighting as to who would get the box that led up to this scene between Viki , Dorian and Tina is priceless.. with the 3 agreeing to open it and keeping the contents just between themselves
This is before the 1994 rewrite where they made Victor Lord a monster correct? From what I remember (or have seen of Victor when he was onscreen) he wasn't the monster they turned him into, more like a pompous jerk.
Jeez, Viki could you be anymore bitchy? Just accept it, she's your sister. Yeah, she's not at all a saint, but neither are you. And Dorian, it's not like you never had a gold-digging bone in your body lol
@go2magic It sucks that they wrote 2008 Tina almost exactly like Rebecca Hotchkiss, she was just less cruel. I wish we had seen the Tina of the 80s on OLTL in 2008. She had matured into a woman and a good mom by 1990 when Andrea left and they totally ignored that.
these 3 ladies are the queen of llanview. all 3 are different in their own way. i would call them the witches of llanview but viki aint a witch. maybe the golden girls of llanview
i think it was a terrible mistake for them to have killed victor when he was revealed to be alive. such a waste of what could have been more rich story. i would have loved to see victor interacting with viki, dorian, asa and others. it would have been interesting to see what would have been said to victor since he was now w known child molester, liar, and all around sicko
Well, since they stretched credibility with bringing Victor back from the grave, you are right, it would have been interesting to see him back on the canvas. The show no longer has a patriarchal type figure anymore since Asa's death. Needless to say people would have hated him knowing what he did to Viki.
Are you sick of todd hogging all of the air time?? I am and I am so sick of cole,starr,marty,tea,langston,markko,gigi, rex,. The list goes on OLTL lacks the intrigue it used to have and they kill off good characters. Even Erika Slezak who plays viki said in a interview some years ago that victor lord was one character they should've kept around she said they could have even put him on ice. They brung Lee Halpern back to kill her off and I still do not understand that move.
yeah that was dumb to have brought off Lee to kill her again. Mari Lynn deserved to know she was alive, since Lee died when she was really trying to kill her mother's attacker.
She did mentioned that she reconnected with Mari Lynn but Mari Lynn disowned her once and for all for lying again about her death. thats what she told Renee.
Yeah the people who know about what he did to Viki wouldn't like him like they did before 1976 before his death...the man deserved to croke. What galls me is that Viki NEVER confronted him about what he did to her...she was too busy about wresting Llanfair away from Mitch. If I had the chance to come across my monster of a father from the dead knowing what I did now that I didn't then, I would've shouted at him til he croaked...for real that time.
A poor boy from the Bronx watched this in Phoenix, Arizona at stranger's house with a pool where I played with my action figures and a wide-screen on which I watched this. OMFG MIndf#@k, dude!
Viki and her sisters. Because I swear that Dorian is more of a sister to Viki than Tina is; considering how much drama they've been through over the past 40 years or so.
Tina seems to have had more guts back then as opposed to now. She stood up to Dorian back in the day, but allows a wack job like Tess, and pregnant mind you, to push her around now.
Well, she thought she was valedictorian, but we all know Viki turned into Niki in high school after witnessing Roger's "death" when Eterna blew up and fled to New York pregnant with Megan and later when Victor found her, she turned back into Viki giving birth in the limo and he had her hypnotized to forget everything and replaced those memories with memories of actually graduating high school! So, does this mean Viki really isn't a high school grad??? LOL I really, really loved this show then!!
Back when this show had outstanding background music! Notice Tina's theme right after she opens her letter. This was back when characters had their own theme's.... Miss these days
Irishmodel I'm not in town right now but I will check for you when I return in a few weeks. It has to be 1986 or 1987 but I can be more specific, later.
thanks, but I think it has to be like i want to say 1986, February. I think they are at Asa's because Tina had taken control of Llanfair and Viki and Clint went to Asa's, right. And is this right after tracy James blew up the secret room or is this another time?
I remember Viki going back in several times. her first therapy session with Dr. Polk was actually held in Victor's secret room, and I remember them looking at the monitors and talking about who was he spying on. at one point she had a scene down there with clint where they included a flashback of her and meredith -- don't remember the context, but i remember it was a rare and great scene
The three of them were in the secret room and found the box. A judge awarded it to Viki (since she owned Llanfair). The three agreed to open it together and see what was inside. In a separate episode, they all fantasized about its contents: Tina, that it contained cash and jewels; Dorian, that it contained a vile of his medication and a letter indicting her for murder; Viki, a photo of the two together and a letter renouncing Tina
Who owns llanfair now? From my understanding, Dorian and Viki split it half and half, but Viki found out about some scheme Dorian had going and promised not to reveal the truth as long as Dorian leaves? Is this true?
Viki owns Llanfair, 100%. Originally, when Victor died, he left it to Dorian. However, upon her death or remarriage it was supposed to revert to Viki. When Dorian married Herb Callison, it reverted to Viki. Viki let Dorian live there for a few years (she remained in the Carriage House, saying she had fond memories of Joe Riley there and she wanted to honor her father's wishes for Dorian, however in 1982 she retook the house for herself, Clint and her family. Dorian has no claim, nor does Tina
But what about after Victor resurfaces, dies, leaves everything to Mitch Laurence, who dies and leaves behind Dorian as his widow? I find it highly unlikely that he's leave anything to Viki. So did he leave things to Dorian, Jessica, or half and half? Sorry for bothering you, but this whole Victor Lord saga is sooooooooo confusing...
the court ruled that will null and void when viki provided proof about the deal behind it (Victor's estate for Jessica's heart), and the original terms of Victor's estate stood.
Sorry I don't remember much related to this episode and it's in isolation on my tape so I don't know much of what happened before or after this episode.
Tina was BRILLIANT! Absolutely inspired creation. She made Erica Kane seem positively puritan when it came to storylines.
