Members Darn Posted May 21, 2020 Members Share Posted May 21, 2020 (edited) She never said Gillian Spencer was fired, she said the woman playing Viki before her (Joanne Dorian, though she did not say her name just that they shared an agent) was fired. The story she recounted was that she was in her agent's office, he received a phone call letting him know Erika got the role and simultaneously telling him to inform his client that she was being let go, he refused and told the show they had to do it themselves. I'd love to see her on daytime again but she'd be utterly wasted in that role, don't you think? I'd prefer her legacy be this one huge role rather than a glorified cameo on Ron's (puke) Days of Our Lives. I don't know what it is but Viki had this quality where I was never bored of her (not that some of her stories weren't duds but all that did was make me wish she had a better story). When Nikki or Victor are going through the same crap over and over I get downright sick of them but Viki went through tragedy after tragedy, disassociation after disassociation but I loved her throughout. I was always rooting for her, even when she defended his monster of a brother or was outright wrong I still liked her.

Members Vee Posted May 21, 2020 Members Share Posted May 21, 2020 (edited) I'm no better, bc my ideal return for Erika rn would be playing Viki as a journalist of authority in a flashy town crisis storyline on GH. And yes, Erika has talked about Joanne Dorian's firing before. Edited May 21, 2020 by Vee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members John Posted May 21, 2020 Members Share Posted May 21, 2020 Gillian Spencer quit OLTL in 1970 because her husband was ill. They recast with Joanne Dorian, who used to me married to Michael Zaslow. Erika was hired as viki 13 weeks later 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted May 21, 2020 Members Share Posted May 21, 2020 (edited) JdP is a pirate now. Monocle and long hair! Bob Woods has a gorgeous white beard. His first day: "Andrea Evans walks by and you check out her ass." Tuc got his job bc he laughed at Robin in his screen test when she resisted kissing him.

Members Vee Posted May 21, 2020 Members Share Posted May 21, 2020 (edited) Tuc talks about getting the network brass mad for going up on the roof with Roger Howarth, Christopher Douglas (Dylan) and Nathan Fillion to take off their shirts and smoke cigarettes in the sun, in full view of the network brass’ building windows. HBS quotes Phil Carey: You can’t just sit on this stuff and memorize it through your ass. You have to memorize it!” Bob Woods discusses being fascinated by Roger Thorpe and Rita on GL.

Members amybrickwallace Posted May 21, 2020 Members Share Posted May 21, 2020 If they do another virtual reunion, I'd like to see more cast members from the 1970s onwards . For example - Michael Storm, Tony Call, Shelly Burch, Dorian Lopinto, Laura Bonarrigo, Susan Haskell, Susan Batten, John Loprieno, Brynn Thayer, etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RavenWhitney Posted May 21, 2020 Members Share Posted May 21, 2020 Agree. much closer to Flannery than Bauer. Never got the Bauer casting ...even tho I love the actress. Erika needs a new role similar to Nikki not Vickie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
