For a background to this storyline, please read OLTL History 1995 -
Events from the past cause Viki's psyche to shatter. [Only
storyline-relevant scenes are included]
...DORIAN'S HOUSE...
Dorian: All families have their secrets, Viki. Ours just happens to be
a particularly dirty one.
Viki: Stop...
Dorian: Your father made you play his sick game. He turned you from his
daughter into his lover. And that is why, Viki dear, you have
always hated me so much. Because I came between you and your
father. Just like your mother did.
***FLASHBACK TO 1959***
(Viki is watching as her parents fight on the balcony)
Eugenia: I knew in time you'd figure it out.
Victor: Spare me your sad story.
Eugenia: What did you expect? Undying loyalty? How dare you stand
there and judge me after what you've done!
Dorian's: In the eyes of the world, you were his princess, the apple of
Voice his evil eye. All the while, he was pitting you against your
own mother! Making you part of his sick triangle...
Eugenia: You haven't been faithful to me! Not once in our entire
marriage! And all your mistresses! The only two you ever
loved were your newspaper and your daughter. The BANNER and
Viki - those are your two real loves!
Young: Father! Mother! Stop! Stop!
Viki
Dorian's: He made you resent her, didn't he? He made you want her gone
Voice as much as he did!
Victor: You're a whore! Get out! (Pushes Eugenia and she falls down
the stairs)
***BACK TO PRESENT
Viki: No!! I loved my mother!
Dorian: Of course you loved your mother. But we're dealing with
the truth here, Viki. Right? The truth? Your mother
suspected that something was not quite right. But she was
powerless to stop it and then she died and that left just
you and your father. How long did it go on, Viki? Until
he found a suitable replacement? Your college roommate?
Is that when it stopped - when you found him in bed with Irene?
Viki: No...
Dorian: Okay, you wanted the truth and now here it is! God! To
think that I have kept his disgusting secret all these years...
Why? You know why. Survival, yes. Mine and yours. I mean,
the scandal too, I just didn't want to open myself up to that
kind of scrutiny and ... he was gone. I figured let sleeping
pigs lie. However things are different now. I need some
leverage. And much as I will hate to do this to you, Viki, if
I have to, I will use our dirty family secret.
Viki: No...
Dorian: (Throwing down suitcase) Okay! Here is how it goes ... I am
leaving Llanview until this whole mess with David Vickers is
cleared up. You will keep this silent, I will do my part. I
will say nothing to anyone about our secret, about your father's
incestuous sins against you. Let's call in striking a deal,
for sanity ... mine and yours. I'm going upstairs. When I
come down, I want you gone!
[Viki's angry alter Tommy emerges]
Viki: (Running to her) No! You stupid, ugly bitch!
Dorian: Viki...
Viki: No! I hate you! I hate you! I hate you!
Dorian: Viki! What are you doing? Viki! You let me go!
Viki: I hate you! (Pushes Dorian down the stairs, knocking her
unconscious)
