Members DRW50 Posted March 1, 2010 Members Share Posted March 1, 2010 This clip is a lot of entertainment, as Tori does several impressions, and some of the lines between Dorian and Tori and Clint are great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted March 1, 2010 Members Share Posted March 1, 2010 LOL at Dorian trying to coax out poor little Princess and Tori playing her! And DAMN @Robin's legs and cleavage in that first part. What a difference a decade makes. It's so funny when Erika pokes fun at herself/Viki with the prim and proper Mid-Atlantic accent, you sometimes forget that that's learned, it's just funny to be reminded that it's something she's well aware of. That ensemble Tori's wearing is so Sharlene Frame. Ha, they tricked us with the Tommy music! The "transformation" at 9:27 is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 1, 2010 Members Share Posted March 1, 2010 I know. I was surprised they would sort of use the personality transformations for comedy, but it works. And then when they used the music I thought "Well this has to be real," but nope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NorrthCafe Posted March 1, 2010 Members Share Posted March 1, 2010 This is the playlist from that year of storylines: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=49CB2BCA065632FB&search_query=viki+lord+DID+abuse+storyline The fight that launched the DID storyline - it begins with Viki fighting with Dorian over the lie about David Vickers being her half-brother: Part 2. Part 3. (The unspeakable is finally spoken) Dorian talks about Victor talking in his sleep about his sexual assault of Viki and how she confronted him... Viki is still in denial - Dorian keeps pressing: Part 4. Dorian wants Viki to continue to face the truth. This is just before Viki disappears and Jean Randolph takes over. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LFlifxZ8iM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ER Tosh Posted March 1, 2010 Members Share Posted March 1, 2010 I like RH's take on Viki's alters from the trading places show http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9VgWGpLzx4&feature=related Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 1, 2010 Members Share Posted March 1, 2010 Trading Places was such a hoot. I think I would have enjoyed Todd's alters in the fake DID story too if the story hadn't been so crass and offensive. I think Howarth enjoyed "Miss Perkins" or whatever the name was. Those scenes where Dorian told Viki about the abuse are so harrowing. And the buildup to that, with Viki battered on all fronts until she is down to nothing. Erika had a cold at the time of some of those scenes which just makes her even more run down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted March 1, 2010 Members Share Posted March 1, 2010 Yeah, she had a cold when she confronted David and Tina before she headed for Dorian's, it was all the more heartbreaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Llantano Incorporated Posted March 1, 2010 Members Share Posted March 1, 2010 Niki- but only the 1985-86 version when she was written like a real person. She was fun yet down to earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted March 1, 2010 Members Share Posted March 1, 2010 Khan, what did you think of Niki's last few returns under Rauch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted March 1, 2010 Members Share Posted March 1, 2010 Pointless and unnecessary. I realize the Viki/Niki saga sent the show's ratings soaring, but, you know, you can cram a pump for only so long. Once Viki remembered seeing Victor in bed with Irene, and she and Niki (presumably) merged, that should have been the end of it. Instead, they kept Niki "alive" for yet another history rewrite (this time, that Niki was "born" when Viki saw Roger Gordon "die" in the explosion @ Eterna).
