Members Scotty Posted February 13, 2012 Members Share Posted February 13, 2012 Here is again around the 30 second mark while Viki is on the stairs and Todd is questioning her about what kind of person their father really was. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FP8ycOsVMyk&feature=related Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted February 14, 2012 Members Share Posted February 14, 2012 Same here. It's just too much to believe Victor was THAT evil when he had been onscreen for so long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BKuzak Posted February 16, 2012 Members Share Posted February 16, 2012 I agree too. I also never wanted to beleive that about Victor. But it's a soap, they brought him back, they brought Irene Manning back and they've brought mitch back at least twice. I'm sure if it lived on, they would have brought Asa back, played by someone else. I remember that storyline on Sisters. She was convinced that her father abused her and then after the whole thing with doctor Caspian blew up in her face, she realized the memories she was having were just of her father taking care of her when she was sick. Doctor Caspian distoried it for her to make her stop leaning on her family and to lean on him more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Skin Posted February 16, 2012 Members Share Posted February 16, 2012 There's no way Viki could have been that fragmented in 95' if something didn't happen to her. The most probable cause of DID is prolonged sexual abuse. It would be just too improbable for Viki to keep being molested and raped by outside figures for years upon years. Victor was the scapegoat.

Members Khan Posted February 16, 2012 Members Share Posted February 16, 2012 True. But I never liked the '95 storyline because it was (IMO) a complete and total retcon of all other prior stories about this issue (even if this particular story was more clinically accurate). Tell that to the millions of sexual abuse survivors who were raped repeatedly by uncles, by cousins, by teachers and ministers, and so forth.

Members SFK Posted February 16, 2012 Members Share Posted February 16, 2012 Yeah, of course Victor was the "strongest" choice, but say they went more the copycat AMC route and had one of Victor's business associates as her abuser. Maybe Victor turned a blind eye, consumed with guilt and general stuffed shirt emotional blockage which was in tune with the character. Or maybe even her uncle, Victor's brother Powell Sr. They could have gone a couple different ways, but if they were determined to tell this story, Victor was going to pack the biggest emotional punch.
