From January, 1995

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)
