Erika Slezak IS Victoria Lord

Ham bone actress. I was appalled when they got rid of the divine Joanne Dorian for this creature.

Joanne Dorian was FIRED!

Where are all the Llanville Trolls?

^^Sorry, Llanview

I miss Vikki, terribly.

RARE video of Erika winning her first Emmy in 1984 and her acceptance speech - go 12 minutes into video

This rare because the ceremony WAS NOT televised.

Here she starts discussing her nemesis, Robin Strasser! (who she apparently adores....)

It's a wonderful interview.

They cut the parts where the interviewer praised Kathy Glass and Erika gave stink eye.

Bump for Tina

Sorry for the poor quality

R9 Other than on datalounge NO ONE remembers or cares about Kathy Glass.

The kathy Glass troll does.

They got poor Strasser a terrible wig on DOOL. Oh well, she looks pretty good otherwise. She's aging much better than Slee.

Here for the hurricane, Viki?

I like prunes

Is there any proper footage of her in the role?

R18 I think that is my favorite line she delivers yo Dorian!

Is she going to be on Blue Bloodsagsin?

R20 yes she's coming back to play Tom Selleck's grandmother.

It appears Jenn Rappaport is a crazy bitch in real life.

Is anyone watching DOOL with Robin Strasser? Fun scene between her Vivian and Eve where they invoked the name Dorian. Was a nice treat for OLTL fans.

As a young stage actress, trained in The Classics - 1968

The bubbly ingenue

R22 Damn! I hated her on OLTL.

R26 Yeah, I preferred her brother Will.

I liked the Rappaports! Will was a great character and bad girl Jenn had her moments. Lindsay was by far my favorite. Liked Sam and Todd dynamic.

It was my boyfriend who introduced me to her. I don't even watch Soaps, but I know a legend when I see one.

My God Slezak was a ham. Six emmys? She should give them all back.

If you have a Roku, you can find The Joan Rivers Show on several apps, such as the Roku Channel and Vidmark. There is one episode celebrating OLTL's 6000th episode, she had as guests Erika, Clint Ritchie, Phil Carey, Patricia Elliot, Karen Witter, Michael Storm, and Marilyn Chris. Ivana Trump is also interviewed as she was the special guest star on the 6000th episode.

I don't like her atall.

Karen Witter was a great Tina recast!!! Wish they could have kept her longer in the role...

Slee did not like Karen Witter.

Did Slee like Andrea evans? Jessica Tuck? HBS?

Karen Witter (Tina #4) was Miss March, 1982.

I wonder if, while she's not a superstar, this makes Witter Playboy's most successful centerfold? (Not counting those who were actresses to begin with.)

Slee didn't like anyone who stole attention from her.

oh my goodness! jonnysbro, jerry, and eboneece have finally made their grand returns to soap opera network (son). it is a sight to behold. they have had several accounts for years because they knew the day would come when they would need to make a dramatic reentrance into the soap boards. it makes my day to watch them make the son posters go insane. one of their names, dona, is actually making some posters go bezerk.

I'll drink to [italic]that!

I don't know what you're talking about.

Lez vibes alert!

Her name is VIKI SLEESTAK, OP.

How dare you impugn her reputation!

wish they'd bring back OLTL

Me too so ME and RoHo can get the hell out of Port Charles

Poor Robin. Her DAYS stay seems to have not been a very successful one.

R46 It isn't necessarily that it wasn't a success, she was always just a fill in because Louise Sorel was unavailable for this run of the character.

R42 Judith Light so much more subtle and effective in that scene with La Sleestak than she was in the hysterical and over-the-top courtroom scene, which apparently they still use today in some acting masterclasses.

R48 The courtroom scene was the climax to a story that had been going on for at least a year or more. Many storylines came crashing together in that one scene and although it may seem over the top, I think it was an emotional release for the characters and the audience. The testimony started so controlled and slow you wondered if it was all going to come out the way it did. I see why it is shown in acting classes.

I took an acting for television class at a now defunct acting academy just outside of Rancho Mirage and we watched that Karen Wolek courtroom scene multiple times along with various poignant sequences from Stone Pillow featuring Lucille Ball and Daphne Zuniga.

I know a few years ago that scene was part of a class at MIT

We had to watch it in my drama appreciation elective.

Judith light wouldn’t come back for the OLTL final episodes!

R53 As I understand it they wanted her to be the parent of someone on screen and she didn’t like the story, but I could not be remembering correctly. I know she rejected whatever they wanted Karen to do.

R54 Yes, the retcon was going to be she stole cousin Jenny's baby (or whatever that story was) and that Aubrey Wentworth would have been Karen's daughter.

I'm sure OLTL wasn't paying nearly enough for Light, and she would have wanted 80s money and a bigger story, neither of which were available for her.

I honestly can't imagine Light playing the mother of Terri Conn, so absolutely understand why she would have passed.

R50 You're joking, right? I fell out of my chair. An acting class in Rancho Mirage? Stone Pillow? It's almost plausible. But I can't stop laughing. I'm hoping it's true.

And I think I remember the storyline had something to do with Herb because they wanted Anthony Call as well. My memories might be faulty. I also think she really wanted to make an appearance but what they wanted was just too off for her. She always praises OLTL so I am pretty sure she was willing.

Thanks Vickerman! Why didn’t we see daddy David pursue a Broadway has been twink or even a Ford brother nope they tried to see us David wanted Dorian’s dried up prune!

R59 The character of David Vickers was established as a straight horndog. Just because the actor came out it didn't mean that David changed. Plus, the David and Dorian pairing was one of my favorite couplings on OLTL.

David was believable in the beginning (late 90s) but by the end he was so absolutely flaming on-screen that any scene with a woman was a joke.

Other than Roxy, maybe.

He should have fucked ALL of the Ford boys.

The director should have reigned both Tuc and Robin Strasser in. Both went way over the top in the final years of the show. Both were capable of great work but needed direction to keep things more restrained.

have you guys been paying attention to SON lately? you heard it here first that jonny was making a glorious return to that board. this time he claimed to be a woman obsessed with Reva Shayne and who had plastic surgery to look just like her. It drove the regulars nuts. Pure stroke of genius if you ask me.

but nothing is driving SON more crazy than the new nut job Donna. Lol she is a plant who jonny convinced to join that board

the ford brother with the tit problem is on an episode of season 2 insatiable
