This is horrifying... knowing that these types of stalkers and crazy people exist... and feed... on trying to terrorize others. Victoria was so brave to come forward with sharing her story.

Yes, I've gotten a few ones myself that have tried crawling up my back... but of course nothing compared to what Victoria had to go through. Sadly some people can't differentiate between character and actress. Sick people. People that need psychiatric help.

Any context for the character?

I remember first seeing her as Jade Perkins on Santa Barbara but not recognizing her as familiar. She was credited as Missy Brennan on SB IIRC but an extra on AW probably didn't have a credit and might not have stood out. She would have been quite young then.

 

Thanks for the follow up!

Another World - December 21, 1988

 

Let us all rest from the balls and the glitz and glamour and return to the more ordinary, but still important world of real life issues and dramas.

As we know, Mary took Pilara (the domestic violence victim) home. The girl is having a difficult time adjusting to the household, still very much traumatized... while Mary is doing everything she can to make her comfortable. Vince warned Mary - maybe doing this good deed will turn on her and harm her in the end. Mary was not hearing him - she said that at Christmas - it's most important to help those in need. Empathy often leads to nightmares, Mary. I hope this is not the case here. 

Lisa stabbed Vicky right in her heart when she told her in 1 sentence... - Don't forget - you were the second choice. Meaw.

 This triggered Vicky soooo much that she started organizing a way to buy a house in the same neighborhood that Lisa and Jamie were planning to start their life in. Vicky thinks she can buy herself happiness, but this is not going to happen easy. I am team Lisa on this one 100 percent.

We had Caroline in total contrast to her usual flirty, light demeanor - she was a complete wreck - locked herself in the bathroom of the gallery... to do God knows what... Thank God, Cass broke in the bathroom and found her with a bloodied hand. This gave me a Fatal attraction vibe. I am not sure if Caroline is not using her mother's death to seduce Cass. I will not put it pass her. 

The heroine of the episode was Marley, who visited Lisa in hopes for a psychic reading - something to give her a little ease of mind before the surgery. Lisa saw something, felt something, but chose not to say it. Something bad is coming... I can feel it too.

Overall - 

Top moment - Lisa putting Vicky in her place with 1 sentence.

Woooo! Go, Lisa!!! I was Team Lisa, at this point, anyway. It was so funny. The only thing that Melissa & I ever disagreed about was Lisa & Vicky!! Trust our favorite show to give us one thing to be different on. And, we were together, as a couple, for 21 years. (Now, we've been best friends for 4 years.)

 And right now my husband is disliking Vicky tremendously. He says he can't stand her talking and how loud she is all the time. He also described her as stupid. Haha. I'm not that opposed, because I adore Anne Heche, but... yes... we are both team Lisa as of late.

I was always team Vicky but Lisa did get a good shot in there. My problem with Lisa is that she came into the show as such a victim and her backstory was so icky. Plus, her character's story was basically the impetus for the serial killer storyline, and once that was over, her character floundered in the triangle. She was never her own character. Her story was only in relation to the men (Glaser/Jamie).

Interesting comment.  In my opinion, Harding Lemay (in 1988) essentially turned Lisa into Alice Matthews, Vicki into Rachel Davis, and Jamie into Steve Frame.  In other words, Lemay was building a long-term romantic triangle, which could have gone on for several years. Sadly, Donna Swajeski didn't know how to write (or even continue) a long-term romance.  So she broke-up Jamie and Lisa rather quickly, and sent Jamie nearly 100 percent into Vicki's orbit. Big mistake, in my opinion.

    • A little too much focus on Chad and Cat today but I enjoyed the episode. I have a feeling that Jennifer’s gonna get dumped on though, even though I think that her anger is completely understandable and justified. And honestly, Ron is finally gone; Abigail can come back now.  But, welcome back, Anna! It was nice seeing Carrie have scenes with her mother. Christie Clark and Leann Hunley have never really had that many scenes together and to see them have them now is really nice. I’m glad that both of them were there to comfort Marlena too. Their words were definitely the thing that Marlena needed to hear. Btw, with all this talk of Noah, does it mean that he’s gonna be introduced soon? Amy, revealing that John changed her flat tire many years ago seemed a little random though. I would rather she have said something about how everybody in Salem knows of John Black because of how he was always such a hero. But at the same time, her story also showed what a great guy John was.  I liked Kate’s scenes with Philip too, and her promise to get back at Xander for what he did. And since we didn’t see JPL in the bed, did he need some time off or something? And yeah, everything involving ‘One Stormy Night’ still seems very Ron-like to me.
    • The second photo featuring the late John Spencer is from the Law & Order episode, "Prescription For Death", which was the (second) pilot/first episode all the way back in 1990! He played the father of a daughter that had gone to the ER for a mere sore throat but ended up dead because the doctor on call was drunk and had given her medication that she had an adverse reaction to, after receiving some other medication. So, he will always have that great distinction in addition to The West Wing. (The first pilot, "Everybody's Favorite Bagman", was filmed in 1988! The show was offered to CBS, but they passed. In syndication, it is oddly placed as the sixth episode of Season 1. And Roy Thinnes played DA Alfred Wentworth there. When NBC picked up the show two years later, Thinnes declined to return, and that's how we got Steven Hill's DA Adam Schiff.)
    • exactly. I can understand schadenfreude if it were real, but a lot of this is just an engineered distraction.
    • Days of our Lives S60E204 – Thursday, June 5, 2025 Okay, today’s episode was kind of boring. It was nice seeing Jack and Jen back, but they wasted an entire episode on Jen chatting with Julie - one scene would’ve been enough. Also, why didn’t Jack and Jen go comfort Marlena? And wouldn’t a flashback with Jack, Jen, and John have been great? Maybe something from the Cruise of Deception era? Bottom line - it feels like once John’s memorial is over and the returning fan favorites leave Salem… the show’s going to be dull again.
    • Everything with Elon and Trump is a stunt. If people, and the sycophantic press, are talking about their "feud," they are not talking about Republican plans to gut Medicare, Medicaid, and the ACA. 
    • I can't fully remember, but I don't think they tried to get Beth Chamberlin back. I think Laibson/McTavish likely saw Beth as old news and wanted to move Philip on; either that or have her return only when Philip was closely tied to a new woman. Thanks as always for these recaps. I think I had stopped watching around this time and mostly kept up by reading in the soap magazines. Bridget's degradation was horrible to watch, as the character had grown so much over the years and was clearly regressed just to be a foil for a "hot" couple viewers had zero investment in. 
    • Having the majority of the cast on those low numbers is no way to tell story. And just 2 dayplayers for the month. So sad for the #1 soap.  
    • I believe it was. And this is actually one of the cases where I wouldn’t mind some dumb soap opera bringing back from the dead. They gave Mishael, Amanda, with all of Hilary’s connections but none of the personality except for fleeting moments. Hilary absolutely should’ve just left town. They decided to kill her and the baby. Just baffling,
    • That was Mal Young right? He thought a tragic death was a better option than crafting a story where Hilary leaves town. Was it a case of punishing someone who wants to leave? And then they have to jump through hoops to bring the actress back.
