I don't know if she had a replacement during her other maternity leave or some other illness, but I believe Judith Barcoft was another temp Viki.

[DRW50]

Yes, she was (Judith).

I just wish I had some photos of Christine actually in scenes. I think the only bit online is a Youtube clip where you see the back of her and temp Tina's head, or something.

I have some more 1982 to go (one I've misplaced so I have been looking for that - no luck). I was going to ask if you were interested in 1983, or if you would rather I stop at 1982. I'm not sure when the point is that we begin seeing OLTL on Youtube. I think it's 83.

I would love to see 1983, but its all up to you. This is a lot of work your doing and I do appreciate it.

Durink Erika's first pregnancy (late 1980, early 1981) was Christine Jones, and during her second pregnancy in 1987, it was Judith Barcroft who filled in as Viki.

[SFK]

Scotty, I think Michael was 1980 and Amanda was 1981/2. She definitely was done with babies before 1987 unless Judith temped due to illness.

[Scotty]

Yeah 1980 and 1981....the Wikipedia article about Viki I got the info. from earlier listed both as maternity leaves, so that's what threw me off, but yeah, you're right.

I think this is March 16, 1982 recap

Yea erika slezak had her kids pretty close together. I think it's one of those (14 months apart) type pregnancies. I have a boss who had kids like that. She was on maturnity leave when i started working there and then when she did come back, it wasn't long before we heard she was pregnant again. Good thing too because her husband died young and her kids were only like five and six. I think now she's too old to "start again" when she eventually finds someone new. Thankfully Erika didn't have to deal with that tragedy (leave the drama to Viki!) LOL

I just know in a book it said that Erika agreed to put her first pregnancy into the show on the condition that nothing bad happend to Joey at birth. and actually Joey is the least complicated of all Viki's kids. He was never kidnapped as a baby like Kevin and Jessica (and Natalie i guess). They did give Joey asthama but that was when he was a little older. and even then it was Kevin who was beat up in school once, accused of rape, had a child at a young age, ran away from home once, became a ruthless business man against Todd, broke up Andrew and Cassie's marriage etc.. The only bad thing Joey ever really did was date Dorian.

And help inflict Kelly on the audience...

[SFK]

Yeah, I think they call that "Irish twins" when babies are born super close like that.

[MissLlanviewPA]

Not gonna lie, I've seen some of NF Joey/Kelly and I think they're kinda sweet together. Sorry, Carl! Also, Gina Tognoni--once her eye makeup got less crazy and she was leaner-and with her bright, blonde hair only--I'm a blonde-haired blue-eyed gal myself (average weight--could be somewhat thinner, lol, but not what people would call fat, either), and I would SERIOUSLY love to look more like her. Her yellow and black era OLTL bumper--just gorgeous

That's the closest I've ever seen to Uta Hagen on OLTL.

I never knew Tommy Tune or Imogene Coca were on the show.

[SFK]

You literally took the words right out of my mouth.

[SFK]

Tommy was also on The City but I missed his episodes. I saw him on a subway platform once, he is very tall and very tan and very dapper and he did the most elegant turn when he realized he was on the wrong side of the tracks.
