The only way I want to see the alters again is if they wake Viki the hell up about what her life has become. I think that Jean Randolph in particular would be appalled at Viki's endless Todd enabling and her incredible passivity. If Jean returned to help Viki clean house, which Viki desperately needs to do, then I would like to see her again.

Tommy was probably a play on Tony, just as Jean Randolph was derived from Viki's mother's name, Eugenia Randolph (as Dorian pointed out upon their first meeting). But then again, I'm not exactly sure of the timeline of the alters. We know that Tori was around in at least the '70s because she's the one who smothered Victor, but if Tommy first emerged when Viki was a little girl, she wouldn't have known who Tony was yet. The Tony/Tommy name thing would make more sense if he emerged when Viki was an adult.

Jean isn't appalled at anything.  That's an emotion.  If Jean were in control, she'd simply not deal with Todd...or if she had to, it would be in a non-coddling, matter-of-fact way.  If Jean needs to clean up anything in Viki's life, it would be Viki and Charlie's failed marriage.  Maybe she can impress upon Viki that Charlie is excess baggage, who may have been fine to date...but isn't husband material at all.  It also wouldn't hurt if she got Viki to realize that Jessica and Natalie aren't little girls, and that it's time to stop "mothering" every scrap and tear drop.

As far as Tess goes.  The original DID storyline for Jessica, circa 2005, was great.  She interjected Jessica with a backbone, a pitch, and made her less saccharinely naive.  Furthermore, Bree owned it.  She should have gotten an Emmy for that episode.  The problem is that since then, every time the writers are strapped to give Jessica a story, they wanna drag Tess out of the clothes hamper.  Viki didn't lapse into Niki every time she faced a live crisis, but Jessica reverts to Tess whenever she's faced with something uber stressful...which plays her out and kills the initial appeal that Tess did have.  Bess, in the meantime, is a bad joke.  They absolutely shouldn't have done that.

I like Charlie and Viki together but I have to admit that more than once I've thought that eventually a point would be reached where Jean would say "Enough." If it were built up better I would have said that Viki distancing herself from Charlie after the latest downward spiral was Jean, and she's just going to use the shooting as a reason.

One of Viki's alters (either Jean or Tori, can't recall right off) let her out one two conditions.

She had to end her relationship with Joey and marry David Vickers (whom she despied at the time).

That much I can remember off the top of my head, however I'm not sure how long Viki's alters kept Dorian locked up.

Dorian duped Tommy and locked him in the room but he escaped through a hole in the wall that led to a tunnel. Then IIRC, he captured Dorian again. Jean then realized that she couldn't keep this going forever, she was starting to get stressed and lose control, Tommy, Princess, even Viki were "sneaking" out. That's why she came up with the plan for Dorian to dump Joe and marry David. Jean knew the truth about David forging Irene's diary to free Dorian, so she could hold that over Dorian's head whereas under *normal* circumstances Dorian could just go to the police and tell them that this crazy bitch was keeping her in a glass box under her house.

I know. I still haven't seen it all, I don't want to finish everything, which of course probably means by the time I want to see it it will be taken down.

I'm glad that so much of the Viki DID story from 95 is on Youtube now, it's really phenomenal stuff, especially the part where Jean fell apart.

      I wish I cared about the homeless lady as much as everyone else seems to. After the nothing burger that was the lawsuit, this just feels like another boring Naomi storyline at Orphy Genes since she has no office.

      I think even if Marland had wanted to write more for Sara/Adam, his hands would have been tied as Robert Milli was one of the actors dumped by P&G due to his age.  From the bits and pieces I've seen of that period, Sara does have a key role in the Carrie plot, and Marland briefly gave her son Tim a more important part. I'm not sure if they just gave up on Tim once Kevin Bacon left or if they never really cared. I did not even know for many years that there was an actor in the part after Kevin...and then not one, but two. The Spauldingfield video on Tim doesn't even show the last actor (Nigel Reed), which kind of says it all. Anyway, I do get the sense Marland has some use for Sara, or for Millette. It's only after he goes that she is dumped. Of course he didn't ever hire her for his other shows, so maybe I'm wrong. (then again he never hired Geraldine Court either and he seemed very fond of her) Ann is an odd character to me as she is a proto-Lillian in being defined by pining for a Bauer brother and being involved in the death of one of their wives. I do wonder what else they could have done with her. She was friends with Diane, wasn't she? They could have had Diane manipulate her against Mike, I suppose.

      Yassss....come on Maurice and Brandon...give us nothing!!! Wow, their need to develop their craft shone like a blinding light this episode. Brandon in his Martin and Smitty scenes sounded like he was reading and the facial expressions were giving Disney Channel. He did much better against Maurice in the Martin v Ted scenes. Now, Teddd-dyy (Dana's voice) was just flat. I watched the episode just now after reading the comment on here that Maurice needs to stop swaying, and now I can't unsee it. Has it really been this bad all along?  Ambyr carries. I don't need to say anymore. I am kind of excited to see this Kat/Tomas/Eva stuff play out.  Bill is such a dick to Dani. Like that's the mother of your children that you cheated on with your daughter's best friend but you look to take those low blows. Lord! When he said that thing about it being obvious he didn't care about Dani anymore since he was the one that walked out...that was cold. I even felt for Dani. Bill definitely is all over the spectrum. You can see a villain possibly surfacing, but you also see this great father. The elder Duprees move a little funny. I'm wondering what that is all about. Are they just overly protective matriarch and patriarch because they think it's what's best for their family, or are they afraid their secrets will come out or there's something more sinister there. Why would Vernon want to keep that information from Martin?  I hope something interesting comes out of this June stuff, but as of right now, I'm not too invested. It's not helping my interest on Naomi or Jacob either. However, tge actress playing Naomi has comes a long way from day one.

      None of the males are taking their shirts off every week, so we know they have some degree of acting skill.

      Thank you for sharing. I guess Nancy was catatonic most of her time on the show, so I guess the gasps make sense, lol. I had heard Cathy and Dick DeCoit were supposed to be on the show longer, but Trish Stewart leaving changed all that.

      @Rmodelboy Thanks for posting that On-set pic of June. She looks great, you just might be right about her being Hayley sibling.
