Fans of OLTL are now happily living in 2001 A.D. (After Dave, that is). Before Dave, the simple , childlike character Ben created to trick Allison, it was hard to imagine Mark Derwin as anything other than Blondie's smiling knight. Now that we've all seen what he can do, hopefully OLTL will use Derwin's talents to play more than Viki's straight-laced dutiful husband.
Naughty & Nice From "One Life to Live..."
Naughty:
Asa Buchanan & Todd Manning
Nice:
Ben Davidson
It was too hard to decide who was the most dastardly of this duo. Asa faked his death and Todd told Blair that her baby had died. In reality, Asa is lounging on an island and Todd gave the baby away. Should these acquaintances be forgotten? Most definitely!
Ben should really be nominated as husband-of-the-year. He has stood by Viki's side through trial after trial, including this latest switched-baby tidal wave. Oh, come let us adore him.
Editors Comment: We already do!
Soap Opera Weekly, October 16th, 2001
Much like an overeager, naive child, Dave comes complete with rapid speech and an anxious physicality (his legs kept swinging while sitting) that allowed Allison to believe initially that Dave was real. Derwin kept his eyes darting and his questions rapid-fire, never letting Ben slip out of character in Allison's presence. Dave was relentless with Allison, and Derwin kept up the energy level.
Even though it was Dave hurling question after another at Allison, viewers could still see Ben in Derwin's eyes, as he anxiously hung on Allison's every word.
The entertainment value of these scenes came as much from the humor inherent in the situation as from the welcome surprise that Derwin is adept at comedy. This was especially evident when Ben, as Dave, met with an absolutely befuddled Sam. In a rapid back and forth reminiscent of Abbott and Costello's famous "Who's On First?" routine, Ben thrust his new persona at his brother as Sam tried to figure out what the hell was going on.
For viewers, the answer to that question was simple: They were watching a fresh performance by an actor clearly invigorated by the challenge." - Travis Kinsey
NEW! 11/2/01
Mark Derwin gets the magazine's prestigious "Applause, Applause" for his scenes as "Dave," the naive patient Ben created to infiltrate St. Ann's and learn Allison's plans for Viki. OLTL Executive Producer Gary Tomlin said that Derwin's latest story twist served as a unique way to utilize the actor while co-star Erika Slezak was on her annual summer vacation. "This gave Mark something really fun to play with Barbara Garrick,[Allison]. He wasn't relegated to background stuff during that period [of Slezak's vacation]. Then when Erika did return, the story was off and running."
SOW- Nov. 6th 2001 - Mail Bag
In the mail call column: Our Applause, Applause for OLTL's Mark Derwin made his fans happy. They were glad to see him finally get the credit they feel he deserves. Some wish we acknowledged him sooner.

The Changeling, OLTL – So, it all comes down to this: Having discovered a potential loophole in OLTL's history – who says the child returned by Allison after several weeks of kidnapping was the same one she stole from the Llanfair crib in 1986 – writers faced a daunting task. To make this enormous tweak of history work, they'd need to assemble their best actors and craft emotional, crackling writing that lifted the question off the page, landing it square in the realm of "could have really happened." Adding in a good, old-fashioned bitch-slap (from the wounded Jessica to smug Natalie) was just the cherry on top. Man, this was fun! Although Natalie, Seth and Allison's shenanigans have been idling for a few weeks now, it wasn't until Viki – happening upon Natalie telling Seth that he was her man, not Jessica's –asked, "What did you just say?" that the engine was thrown into full gear. A face-off with vet Erika Slezak (Viki) requires a confidence that most actors couldn't muster, Melissa Archer (who does lean towards frequent, strenuous pop-eyed surprise) however, lived up to the challenge. Nat had a secret hidden under the enormous chip on her shoulder. So, in an extended sequence (during which Erin Torpey's Jessica , rarely looking so sweetly vulnerable, ran around Llanview discovering that her boyfriend and new best friend had been lying to her), Natalie taunted a righteously angry Viki. Yet Viki never threw her out, coming down hard on Natalie with a simmering, narrow-eyed gaze, as if daring her to realize the error of her ways and ask forgiveness. Natalie never flinched, lips curling back in disgust at Mrs. Davidson's perceived arrogance. "Seth and I are lovers. And we have been since way before we met Jessica." But Natalie was just playing for time. With that satisfying smack in the face out of the way and all the players assembled, including a long-suspicious Ben and an overeager Allison, Nat could finally move the chip aside and let the secret out. The success of the scenes grew out of more than just having all the characters together – thanks to the muted, creepily building music, and the staging, which put all of Viki and Natalie's sparring in the Llanfair living room, then crammed the other actors in there too, the scenes had a closeness verging on claustrophobia. It was tense. It was meant to be that way. The players took sides : Ben, Jessica and Viki Vs Seth, Natalie and Allison. Viki demanded an answer: "What is it that you and Allison are planning to do to my daughter?" "Your daughter?" grinned Natalie, delivering her long-held punchline with thick relish. "Oh, she's not your daughter. She's nothing. I'm your daughter." And with that explosive release, the humid closeness hissed out of that room like air from a balloon. It all came out: How Allison took one baby but brought back another, how dirt-poor Natalie grew up embittered that her own mother hadn't realized that shed been given back a changeling, and so on. The ripples will resonate for months and years. With a less-than-deft treatment, this story could have lumbered around like a blind giant. Instead, the talented cast, crew and writers once again proved they've got the talent and guts to handle any twist in the tale – no matter how big.

Here's the backstory: Rae arrived at St. Ann's Institution and encountered most of Llanview's occupants fitted into other identities. Better still they were out to pummel Rae. Update went behind-the-scenes to share what really went on.

Critical Condition – OLTL's Inmates Took Over The Asylum
In the lead section in her column, Marlena DeLacroix writes...
"Postmark Llanview:
Rae was called to St. Ann's (Llanview's mental hospital/asylum), where, wandering the halls, she ran into many of the show's main characters, who had literally changed places: Todd and Viki (and Viki's alters), Nora and Lindsay, Bo and R.J., Jessica and Jen, Will and Cristian, and last but not least, Rae herself with little Starr. Interspersed were characters inspired by '60s and '70s television – a nun impersonated by Renee named Sister Mary Richards (from The Mary Tyler Moore Show )and a flying nun impersonated by Ben, (a take on Sally Field's character on The Flying Nun). Part Rocky Horror Picture Show/part college lampoon/part drag show, 'Trading Places' was packed with so many references and inside jokes that I had to watch the episode three times to catch them all. (Marlena has never before watched a single soap episode more than twice in 30-plus years of viewing!) What was totally divine about 'Trading Places' was that everyone and everything connected with OLTL was fair game. For example, some characters made nasty fun of the poorly conceived character Rae, a shrink who infamously, if a bit nonsensically, listens to anyone's problems anywhere and anytime in Llanview. "'Are you sure you're a psychologist?' Sister Mary Richards kept asking Rae over and over.
Later, in the middle of a zany chase sequence, 'Lindsay' (really Hillary B. Smith dressed as Lindsay) took a moment to check herself in the mirror. Smith was brilliant to catch this tiny mannerism of the vain Lindsay. Still later, 'Max' (a cross-dressing Fiona Hutchison) and 'Gabrielle' (played by James DePaiva) were interrupted during one of the typical shouting matches that characterizes their relationship by the swelling notes of 'their song' (Michael Bolton's That's What Love Is All About). They instantly plunged into a deep kiss and fell into bed (with 'Max' jumping on top!). But what will probably be most remembered about this episode was the cross-casting. DePaiva was a pip as a rather chunky Gabrielle. Bob Wood's wearing R.J. dread locks, and Timothy Stickney wearing a Bo-style hat, were once-in-a-lifetime hoots. And I liked Erika Slezak as a shifty-eyed, rather seedy Todd. But Roger Howarth deserves and Emmy nomination for his brilliant impersonation of Viki and her alternate personalities. As Viki, Howarth's sweet expressions and upper-class 'at-talls' he tacked right on the end of many of her sentences were right on the money. In a conversation with Rae, 'Viki' suddenly turned into Niki Smith. ('It's Niki Smith Time', Howarth exulted hilariously). Later, in a soap moment destined to be classic, Howarth as naughty 'Niki' danced across the room, shimmying 'her' enormous fake breasts from side to side. Wasn't it all a scream? To me, the episode seemed to me to be the deepest, longest in-house vent in soap opera history. Because, television viewers, we deceive ourselves when we think we are the only ones who know how funny and utterly absurd soap operas can be. It's purely my guess, but I wonder if the people who make the shows – the actors, writers, producers – aren't even more frustrated about the state of soaps than we are? What better way of letting off a little steam than by letting the inmates take over the asylum for a day?…"
Did you see OLTL's special July 4 episode? Wow! Who ever expected soap fans to get such a great payoff for staying indoors and watching television on a holiday? 'Trading Places', as the episode was called, was funny, fresh, and totally original. Not since 'The Daisy Awards', OLTL's spoof of the Daytime Emmys, has a soap so savagely made fun of itself – and daytime drama in general. The one-episode satire was set up as show shrink Rae Cummings' (Linda Dano) hour-long dream.
David now joins Erika in that elite group of two who have 5 times received an Emmy for their roles as Best Actor/Actress In A Daytime Drama. Erika was also honored in a montage of Anniversary milestones for her 30 years in daytime.
Congratulations to Ben and Viki Davidson (Mark Derwin and Erika Slezak) who were chosen as "Best Couple" by the One Life To Live Fan Club again this year. The winners were announced on Sunday, May 6th at the Annual One Life To Live Fan Club Luncheon.

Mark Derwin along with Kale Brown were chosen as "Best Supporting Actor" again this year. Congratulations to them both for their hard work and great performances this past year. Their portrayal as brothers Ben and Sam was the absolute best in Daytime. Kale was notified of his win and posted this response on his official website. It's reprinted here with the permission of his FC President, Allie Jenkins.
A large number of Ben and Viki fans were in attendance on Saturday, May 5th at "Erika Slezak's Fan Club Luncheon" which was a dream come true for many of her fans who had never met her previously. All reports from those in attendance mentioned what a wonderful and well run event it was and how beautiful, friendly and gracious Erika was to everyone. A special packet of memorabilia was presented to each guest in attendance and Erika made sure to spend time with each and every guest. Congratulations to Walter Miller, Fan Club President, and to all the Fan Club Officers and members who worked so hard to make this such a special event for Erika and for her fans. Bravo on a job well done!
Michael Zaslow (Ex-David Renaldi, One Life To Live; ex-Roger Thorpe, Guiding Light) died of ALS in December of 1998 but his spirit and determination to put an end to the ravaging disease live on. ZazAngels, the organization he founded to find a cure, hosted a fund-raiser on May 6th at the Neil Simon Theater in NYC. Family, friends, co-workers and admirers turned out to support this worthy cause and enjoyed a stage reading of The Nature of the Universe.
During a break, Linda Dano (Rae, OLTL ) was the hostess for a live auction. Dano stated "There's something so wonderful about keeping the memory of a friend alive". "When Michael died, the disease didn't and I think we just have to be on it and honor him by working for a change any way we can."
Susan Hufford, Michael's widow and the president of ZazAngels, made the announcement that a possible treatment has been found -- until now there's been none -- by a doctor whose study is being underwritten by ZazAngels. Susan was accompanied by her two adopted daughters Marika and Helena.
Felicia Minei Behr accepted the first Angel Award that was presented to One Life To Life for helping raise awareness about ALS.
It was a great night and a wonderful tribute to one of Daytime's most unforgettable actors. To learn more about how you can help in this worthy cause log on to www.michaelzaslow.com.

Digest Salutes the Best in Daytime
Here Come the Brides? (OLTL, B&B, Y&R)
Big soap weddings have it all: the beautiful flowing gown, a spectacular, multitiered cake - and the unexpected plot twist.
One OLTL, Viki wed onetime mob doc Ben, and the ceremony went off without a hitch. It was during the reception that everything went awry. By employing slick filming techniques (the slo-mo, the sudden dropout of all sound except a beating heart and music) and genuine surprise (Ben's shot! No, wait, he had a lucky coin that saved him!), OLTL, turned a potential disaster into a great sigh of relief.
Little did anyone know that the shooting at Ben and Viki's wedding reception was just the start - and that was where the real trick came in. By convincing viewers that all the mayhem was done for one day, no one really expected that another married couple would be involved in a shooting, even though all the elements had been in place for days. Blair, taking a swan dive into temporary mental oblivion, took aim at her cheatin' husband, Max, and plugged him right in the back. It took two bullets, but OLTL, now has the shot in the arm it needs to jump-start new story.
One Life to Live's Viki Carpenter and Ben Davidson fell in love and no one,
including them, could believe it. Ben had left a life in the mob behind and was
on the run when he met Viki. He called her "Blondie," because when they first
met he didn't know her name or who she was. For Viki, Ben was the happiness she
hadn't had in her life since her husband Sloan passed away years ago.
Together Ben and Blondie have overcome many obstacles. They split once and
during that time Viki learned she had breast cancer. She wouldn't tell Ben, but
he later found out. They have loved each other dearly and in November they
finally walked down the aisle and wed. However, their wedding day was hardly
without a hitch. Asa hired a hit man, who shot Ben, but he wasn't seriously
hurt.

Hits and Misses 2000
The Year in Review
Soaps are all about romance, and Ben and Viki exude it like there's no tomorrow. Even during their characters' estrangement, Erika Slezak and Mark Derwin never let Viki and Ben's love fade. Their reconciliation was truthful and honest, and paved the way for one of daytime's most romantic scenes, as Ben and Viki made love for the first time following Viki's breast cancer surgery.
Hit Most Shocking Twist:
This was soap storytelling at it's best - mortal enemies in life-and-death situation. Ben held Asa's life in his hands when Asa suffered a massive heart attack and Asa's "son" Max begged Ben to save Asa's life. As a last resort, con artist Max confessed the truth - Ben is Asa and Renee's biological son.
Hit Social Issue:
Viki's Breast Cancer
Megan McTavish and the OLTL writing team scripted a sage that inspired, educated and most of all, didn't depress. Truer words had never been spoken as Viki, alone in her hospital room, sang what is now her signature song, I Will Survive. Erika Slezak turned in an Emmy-worthy performance with unwavering support from Tim Gibbs and Mark Derwin.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
As the leaves were falling all over New York the best of the soap world was rising to a very special occasion. This year's annual Feast With Famous Faces: Chefs and TV Personalities Cook paired daytime actors and local news personalities with 40 chefs from New York's finest restaurants to benefit infant and children's services provided by the League For The Hard Of Hearing. ONE LIFE TO LIVE's Kassie (Blair) and James DePaiva (Max) led the committee of daytime stars, who assisted at the 25 tasting tables. "We're here because of our son," said Kassie DePaiva, whose 3-year-old James Quentin, is hearing impaired and thriving after cochlear implant surgery. "It's our second year with this wonderful organization, and they do such important work." The evening raised over $300,000 for the League, which has been aiding the hard of hearing since 1910.
Derwin shared more than a laugh with
restaurant owner Brown-Steppe. Her eatery,
Purdys Homestead of North Salem, NY,
is near the actor's hometown.
Their OLTL Characters may be at odds, but off-screen
Catherine Hickland (Lindsay), Ty Treadway (Colin)
and Hillary B. Smith (Nora) had fun
together for a good cause.
Ben and Viki celebrate their wedding this week on OLTL, unaware that Asa's gift to them is a contract hit on the groom.
"It's a magical wedding, which is exactly what we had all hoped for," reports Erika Slezak, who plays the blushing bride. "Headwriter Megan McTavish wrote the vows herself. We wanted the character to have a no-trouble, beautiful wedding, and she does. It's only afterward that it falls apart."
And how. After Ben and Viki exchange vows on Monday (complete with Jessica singing and Sam reading Sandburg's Solo for a Saturday Night), Asa spills all to his "son," Max, who immediately races to the reception to stop the carnage. Meanwhile, crusty old Asa also gets a pang where his conscience used to be and tries to stop the hit.
Too late. The gunman takes aim on Wednesday, felling the groom and forcing Viki to drastically shift gears. "Yes, the honeymoon doesn't come off quite as expected," quips Slezak. "In the tradition of good old soap opera weddings, things may seem to wind down, but in fact they get wound much tighter, spinning everyone off into new directions."
"For Viki, this is the last time she's getting married," insists Erika Slezak. "Of course, I'm sure she thinks that everytime!" For Mark Derwin's Ben, the feeling is mutual. "He's pumped. He's deeply in love with Viki. With all of the bad things that have happened to him in his life, he finally feels like it's all behind him. Of course, Ben doesn't realize he's in a soap opera...."
No, he doesn't. Ben and Viki are concentrating on their impending nuptials, which come on the heels of an extended breakup: Ben kept mum about being Asa's son (a factoid he learned in March), and she didn't want to burden him with her breast cancer. But they came clean and reconciled, so it would seem they've put the worst behind them.
But they've failed to realize the depth of Asa's loathing for Ben's adoptive family, the "Rappa-Davidsons." And since Asa doesn't know that Ben is really his son, that twisted wrath is on a collision course with what should be the most joyful day of Ben and Viki's lives together. "It's the climax of a love story and the climax of a hate story," explains OLTL Head Writer Megan McTavish. "Asa is being driven to an edge, and he does something that he may well live to regret...and that they may not live to regret."
In other words, he's hired a hitman to take out the on-time mob doc, something that the engaged couple is blissfully unaware of because they've been busy planning an all-out bash. As Slezak notes, since she's been playing the character of Viki, she's never had a true bridal gown until now. "What they've made for me is just lovely," she enthuses. "I feel like I'm wearing a dress out of a 16th century painting."
Ben and Viki also surprise one another with gifts - a bracelet with gold and diamond dice charms for her, and a set of onyx and diamond-studded dice cufflinks for him. Says Slezak, "[The dice] symbolize a totally different world for Viki, so I'm glad they brought them back."
McTavish agrees: "This is a new beginning of life for her. Any love story and wedding is wonderful, but for Viki, this is permeated by the fact that she might not have survived. But she did, and the dream has come true."
Well, almost. Yes, the bride and groom are in danger of not getting to the reception on time, but there may be a dark horse in the running to convince Asa to call off the hit. Explains McTavish, "Max loves Asa enough that he doesn't want him to kill his [biological] son. If there's saving to be done, it might come from an unlikely savior - named Max."
Can there be a happily ever after? Ben and Viki have already rolled the dice in life-and-death situations - luck is on their side. After all, this is one couple that hasn't come up snake eyes yet.
Eighth Time's the Charm
Victoria Lord Riley Burke Riley Buchanan Buchanan Carpenter's been at this wedding game for 30 years - and has gone through some very different bridal gowns in the process...
1970: Viki and Joe Riley
Nuptial Notes: Though she was in the throes of her first multiple-personality episode, Viki got hitched to blue-collar fellow Banner reporter Joe.
Erika Slezak Comments: "The original Viki - Gillian Spencer - wore a big, white wedding dress for her first wedding. But until now, "I'd never gotten to wear one!"
1972: Viki and Steve Burke
Nuptial Notes: When Joe was presumed dead, Viki let her domineering father talk her into tying the knot with company man (and new Banner editor) Steve on Memorial Day. Wouldn't you know it? Joe turned up alive!
Erika Slezak Comments: "When I joined the show, they were just putting Viki and Steve together. They had this second wedding in the garden and she wore a long, white-ish afternoon tea dress with a big, flowery hat."
1974: Viki and Joe Redux
Nuptial Notes: After much indecision, VIki left Steve and wed Joe in September (although it nearly didn't happen because Joe felt obligated to propose to Cathy Craig, who was pregnant with his child). After Cathy said, "No," Viki said, "Yes."
Erika Slezak Comments: "When Viki married Joe again, she had on a beige cocktail dress with a matching chiffon wrap. The wedding was on location in New York City on 69th Street in St. Stephens Church."
1982/1986: Viki and Clint Buchanan
Nuptial Notes: Joe died of a terminal brain tumor, and a grieving Viki bickered constantly with Clint. They finally realized they were made for each other and wed. But when Viki's personality split into Niki, she dumped Clint. They reconciled after she came to her senses.
Erika Slezak Comments: "For the first wedding with Clint, Viki wore a long evening gown; for the second one, she was in a white blouse and white skirt by Ralph Lauren. Hello, I still remember the designers!"
1989: Viki and Roger Gordon
Nuptial Notes: Viki got pregnant and wed Roger Gordon when she was a teen, but her evil daddy, Victor, annulled the nups and hypnotized his daughter so she'd forget the whole incident. Which Viki did, until she ran into Roger...in the underground city of Eterna.
Erika Slezak Comments: "Well, this was a bit of a rewrite of history, so there was no ceremony to be seen."
1994: Viki and Sloan Carpenter
Nuptial Notes: Clint divorced Viki after learning of her illicit romance with Sloan. The two married, but Sloan died of Hodgkin's disease shortly after.
Erika Slezak Comments: "Viki wed Sloan on his deathbed in the hospital in a beautiful red dress and matching coat that I believe is still in her wardrobe."
Show Of Support
It was a star-studded day when actors from the East Coast soaps came out to join NYC's Labor Day Parade in a show of support for their union.
Looking for a few good men? Look no further. There may be no such thing as a single man for all seasons, but ABC's soaps boast a different man for each season. And whether your tastes run to the bad boys or sweethearts. ALL MY CHILDREN, GENERAL HOSPITAL, PORT CHARLES AND ONE LIFE TO LIFE have a guy for you. Care to be introduced?
In order to sever his ties to the Mob, Ben turned his back on his career in medicine. It was a big sacrifice, sure, but that's just the kind of guy he is. Viki Carpenter glimpsed Ben's inner light right away. Though he was working as a barkeep when they met, she knew immediately that it wasn't alcohol raising her spirits. Even throughout her battle with breast cancer, the selfless superman has kept a smile on his Blondie's face -- and now he has completed the picture by slipping an engagement ring on her finger.
Jane Magazine, September 2000
"Why women rule the roost;
On Primetime most of the women over 40 have three casting options: the sitcom mom or the troubled lifetime mom, or the fiesty ol broad mom. But on One Life To Live, fifty something millionaire Viki brilliantly manages a newspaper, organizes charities and nuzzles with her studly younger fiance. In fact, while most tv shows and movies perpeptuate that idea that the nubile girls want to make it with old farts, soaps regularly pair young men with older women. Now, thats the kinda of "pro-Women" stuff that its about..."
Viki and Ben: "It's been a wild few months for this unlikely duo. Ben found out he's really a Buchanan, Viki endured Breast Cancer surgery-then the two got engaged! This is a romance fraught with obstacles (the fact that he's several years her junior is one), but that is what makes them so charming and watchable. Plus the always elegantly coifed Viki and the slightly receding but still adorable Ben have chemistry to spare. Kudos to the executives who had the guts and insight to pair up these two."
Soap Opera Update did an indepth story on "The Incomparable Erika Slezak" in their recent edition. Below is the photographic lead in to it. Definitely a must read article for Erika Slezak and Viki fans.
