One Life To
Live: Viki Killed Her Father!
The Secret: Viki always blamed stepmother Dorian for her father's death. Finally, 18
years after the fact, Viki discovered evidence that could put her nemesis behind
bars. However, Dorian was found not guilty, leaving the mysterious murder of
Victor Lord unsolved.
Who Knew: Somewhere, buried deep in Viki's disturbed unconscious, the
truth resided.
Who Found Out: Psychiatrist Susannah peeled away each layer of Viki's
tortured psyche until the cause of her dissociative identity disorder became
exposed – as a child, she had been sexually abused by her father!
The Big Reveal: While under hypnosis, Viki summoned the eerie details
of the night her father died. What was uncovered shook every bone in her body –
Tori, one of her multiple personalities, was responsible!
The Fallout: Dorian was cleared of murder charges, but while her
nightmare was ending, Viki's was just beginning. She always had held her father
on a pedestal. Now, with one sudden swoop, he had been knocked down.
