OLTL: Discussion for the week July 21st - 25th

I'm guessing that is just about how long Erika's been playing Viki.

[chrishntr]

Okay, now THAT Viki/Megan Victoria scene bought me to tears. Listen to her, Viki, give Charlie another chance.

[Gordon24]

Amazing that ES/Viki have been on the show that long. Was there another Viki before her or is ES the original?

[Scotty]

Yeah, it was in reference to Erika. Although Viki was around since the begninning in 1968, Erika Slezak didn't take over the role until March 17, 1971.

[chrishntr]

If I'm not mistaken Gillian Spencer was the orignal Viki.

[NYC123]

I'm pretty sure that she originated Viki.

[Toups]

Ah okay...thanks everyone.

[SlezaksOLTL]

Viki needs to give Charlie a chance

[ReddFoxx]

Gillian Spencer was the first Viki and then an actress named Joanne Dorian had the role before Erika Slezak.

[NYC123]

I cannot wait for Ben/Viki!

[Scotty]

Erika was the third actress to portray Viki....

Gillian Spencer was first (1968-1970), before she went on to AMC and became Daisy.

Joanne Dorian portrayed Viki from 1970-1971, and then Erika took over the role.

In addition, a couple of other actresses temporarily filled in for Erika during her two maternity leaves in the '80s.

[Gordon24]

Thank you for all the replies.

ES was the one that made the character stick, no wonder she is the heart of the show.

[NYC123]

Love that Viki's outfit changes!

BEN!!!!!!

[Toups]

Damn, it's over already? That was so fast!!

[Laurie]
