I don't remember Robin's original run, but as for her second and third runs, she was NEVER written for better than she was during this era. Such a fascinating and sophisticated woman with so many secrets and such hurt that she carried so elegantly.

Bobby Love! lol Watching that makes me get mad all over again with what they did with Powell and Rebecca and that dumb serial killer story.

Here is a Dorian/Viki clip circa 1982

I fogot Jon Hensley was on OLTL.

Did not like Ava Haddad as Cassie

73-74 Daily TV Serials

Thanks for putting that up Carl! It was great to see who was in the cast for 1974. They would have several new characters by the next year too.

I'd never seen that shot of Patricia Pearcy. I was going to say I'd never seen her at all but then I remembered that color photo of Patricia and Nancy Pinkerton in a kitchen.

4 22 1980 Digest

Edited December 30, 201113 yr by CarlD2

This is from a May 1982 Digest

I dont recall that Christine character. How long was she on the show for? It does seem weird that that dark haired woman was trying to pass herself off as Meagan and Viki's child considering none of her daughters have had dark hair. Was she genuine about her feelings for Viki or was that a lie? Why did Michael and Gabrielle do that to Viki? It definetly adds fuel to the fire for why Viki hated Gabrielle. Did their role in this ever come out? If so, how did Tina respond?

Christine was on the show for about a year, I think.

Essentially, Christine grew up with only her father, Leo, who was, to her, some type of loveable rogue with some baggage, an adventurer. Over time, he became a drunk, and a failure. Michael Grande lured him in with the great promise of Eterna, a great place to unearth and explore, and money, and so on. When Viki began remembering things, she went to New York with Renee and went to the places Niki had hung out while pregnant with Megan. Leo convinced her that he was the man she was with in those months, and then Victor separated them and made him leave with the baby, Christine. Christine had no idea about any of this, and Leo tried to get Viki to agree to never let Christine know the "truth." Viki blurted it out to her when Christine was seriously ill in the hospital. She only found out about the lie soon before Viki did.

Michael wanted to unlock Viki's memories because he wanted to get into Eterna. She'd had a teenage love with Roger Gordon, who'd lived in Eterna. I'm not sure if Michael knew about all that or not. Gabrielle went along with him for money and power.

I don't know what reaction Tina had to learning about this.

It was kind of sad to see how angry Bo was at Viki being used that way - I haven't sensed a lot of affection between Bo and Viki or her family in quite a while.
