As PLOT riddled as the last few months of OLTL were, in retrospect it was BRILLIANT . I saw these episodes but 12 years ago. Tiny details are clear now. Totally in theme with the backstory just way over the top. Fun Times!
Wanted to add I dont get why viki from the moment she found out Tina was her sister was always so hard on her. She has forgiven every bad thing todd & vic jr ever did. I know the last time the story was so stupid that Tina kept quiet about Jessica being sick & her d.i.d. basically killed her daughter chloe. She never got check ups so her child died from something drs easily would have found out as Dorian as an doctor said a first year med student would pick up on which was the RH factor. If the mom is o- & the dad's blood type + the baby can die bc the bc the body will literally attack the baby as an unknown invader. That's why a dr will give u a rhogam shot to prevent that. Tina never told viki & also that tess had natalie locked up in the secret soundproof room. I forget why tess made Tina go along with it but why did viki forgive victor jr when he was todd for also knowing about tess & his reasons were dispicable. Tess blackmailed victor bc she discovered he had an amnesiac Marty held captive. He thought he was todd so even though he wound up not being the one who raped her he still thought it & took advantage of Marty having no memories of it. Obviously she forgave victor jr but why not Tina? Also tina was the only living lord child that got nothing. Viki also punished Tina for what her father did. Back in 85 when her true father victor sr. Was revealed viki did not remember the sexual abuse. She adored her father & this secret that he got her 19 year old roommate & best friend pregnant it shattered her . She would not accept Tina was her sister & she split into nikki. Mitch during vikis heaven storyline was there from hell to tell her how she screwed up with Tina. He said " if u had accepted her as ur sister & gave her a piece of your inheritance she would have been as content as a kitten purring by the fire. Instead u denied her both & needy plus greedy is a lethal combination " boom. He was bad but told viki the truth. Yes she let Tina live at llainfair with a staff & fully stocked fridge but Tina deserved her own money. She was entitled to something as his daughter. In Victor's will he had a stipulation that if viki turned into nikki again & was institutionalized for x amt of time vikis entire fortune her home the banner would go to Tina. So after being rejected & finding out her dad abandoned her & left her nothing I get why she was hurt & wanted money. Same with todd. If he did not step foward as the heir 90 days from his 25th bday then tina would get the 27.8 million. It's sad that Tina could only get money on certain conditions. He left her nothing outright. So I've never gotten why viki was so hard on Tina. If she just gave Tina a few million she would not have been this conniving schemer. So I really wish Tina had pointed this out & how tina was banished but victor jr. Wasnt. Plus she found out victor was planning to take starrs baby & let her think the baby died. So victor did even worse. She also forgave todd no matter what as well as clint who had nora kidnapped & almost raped by Eddie ford. He also paid vimal to switch paternity tests & clint did not give a damn rex was his son. He switched that too. He also had david Vickers kidnapper & kept in a Turkish prison & viki had become friends with david. She also was never even mad at natalie for all the horrible crap she did to Jessica. She worked with jared to help defraud the bukes which caused them to lose b.e. & led to nash's death bc he lost his home & buisness. Clint & bo were mad at her. Or when she banged Jessica's fiancee behind her back & lied to her about it was awful. I know natalie is her child ( I hated that lol) but so was jesse & she should have been very upset with her.
Dani's acting got better. U have to feel a little bad how irene was treated by victor. He preyed on a 19 year old girl, vikis bff & irene was young enough to be his daughter. He got her pregnant twice producing 3 kids. He dumped her twice & made her give todd up. Still no excuse for her behavior. I mean irene the single mom turned cia agent was a nutty story. Wish they could have explained the two Todd's better. Oltl did get very campy with many crazy stories like eterna. I think fans hated it at the time but with all the years passed it is actually a nostalgic beloved story.
