One Life to Live: DTR Viki and Joe name their son

[@Faith111213]

I used to love Joe Riley and to see this old tape brings good memories.

[@Blueyes0325]

Sorry to hear of the passing of Lee Paterson, he was a wonderful actor. Never forget the story of Joe and Vicki.

[@natvan29]

I loved Lee in Surfside 6 in fact he was and still is my favorite actor dead or alive I Wish I could find this show when it first aired 1968

[@calalilygirl]

The story of Joe and Viki was the best. Yes he disappeared for a while but was never really dead. That storyline with those two always rocked.

[@brendalovesmariah]

He really did die, but the actor came back as a look alike tom

[@marcusj4641]

@@brendalovesmariah Early in the show, Joe Riley was presumed dead for like 2 years I think? Then he returned just as Viki remarried to a man named Steve Burke. Viki and Steve divorced and she and Joe remarried. A few years later, Joe died for real this time (at least in as far as the storyline goes). Enter Clint Buchanan (along with Asa and Bo) and a whole new era in Llandview!

[@calalilygirl]

Always said Joe WAS Viki's best and most believable husband for her with a great sense of humor. Sorry when he was gone from the show.

[@calalilygirl]

I just found out that "Pat" Jackie Courtney died last December. I felt sad about that. She was so beautiful.

[@miggy25]

thank you so much for this...I always wanted to see clips of Viki and Joe...so funny seeing Erika Slezak so young

[@earth2006]

Wow I did not know there was any thing from this era flooring around. Thanks for posting

[@tanyaflemon1870]

Wow I remember Joe Riley. My grandmother had a lineup Young and the Restless, All My Children, One Life to Live and General Hospital 😂😂😂❤❤

[@cathyj100]

found the answer myself, dorian was played by actress nancy pinkerton, who had an affair with dr mark toland, who was played by tommy lee jones

[@pika23]

yknow whats hilarious? these daytime shows where the kid is born and a year later is like 18...so in real time this kid would be say...32 but on a show he would be like 65 with great grand kids! My mom watched this show for years...I was'nt born til 78 and didnt watch with my mom til i was 4 so this is a treat for me

[@bmf1706]

@gotch09 No problem! Larry was never written out of One Life to Live. In May 2004, Viki needed a heart transplant. Larry worked on her case and after that he wasn't seen again. I believe Viki mentioned he was visiting Dan Wolek, his son with Meredtih. You'll be interested to know that One Life is reportedly tring to recast Dan Wolek, Meredith's son with Larry. He will supposedly be played by Michael Park from ATWT, in October or November.

[@cathyj100]

@gotch09 viki's half sisters name was tina. I think Joe was her first husband.

[@gotch09]

@gotch09 Now that I remember Vickie also had a younger sister named Meredith(?) who died. I think Meredith was married to Larry(?). I think Meredith died in the 70's. Can anyone out there remember too? I do remember that Dorian's original last name was Crammer and she did have a sister named Melinda. And Melinda was either nutty and/or dying.

[@timothymoore6341]

Melinda was crazy indeed! And Dorian's older sister Agatha aka Addie was also crazy. Dorian and Melinda for years believed that Addie was dead, but she had been put into an institution by their parents.

[@calalilygirl]

I thought Meredith died of her illness and not the robbery, but I do remember it was summer 1973 when she died and there was a robbery. Maybe she did indeed get killed in the robbery. Either way I was devastated when she was out of the show. Loved her.

[@gotch09]

@cathyj100 And you reminded me. The original Dorian did have a sister, Melinda.

[@gotch09]

@cathyj100 Jeez, I've looked all over youtube. You've answered what I've said forever. Robin Stasser wasn't the original Dorian. How long did Nancy Pinkerton play Dorian? I remember her and Tommy Lee. BTW, I haven't watched OLTL in years and years, but remind me who was Vicki's FIRST husband? It's been so long. And didn't she have a sister that died years ago? And who was the charachers name that later played Vicki's half sister? Thanks for any help you can give me.

[@AyatollahPez]

haha it's older than I am, too

[@bmf1706]

@gotch09 Meredith died in 1973. When Dorian first came to yown she was treating Joe's sister for an addiction to painkillers and Melinda was getting to know Meredith. Dorian warned Melinda to stay away from the Lords (kind of funny, considering Dorian became a Lord) and then Meredith was killed in a robbery. Also, Melinda recently died, too, in March of 2010.

[@gotch09]

@bmf1706 When you say Melinda died-do you mean the actress who played Melinda, or the character Melinda? I haven't thought of Melinda or Meredith in years and years. I don't even know what possessed me to suddenly remember them.

[@bmf1706]

@gotch09 The character died, I have no idea about the actress. But Dorian was trying to kill Mitch Laurence (who had come back from the dead) and he threatend her that he would kill one of her girls. So, she demanded everyone come back to Llanview (Cassie, Adrianna, Kelly, etc.) and when they were together, Cassie revealed that Melinda had jut died under mysterious circumstances. No onscreen death or funeral, but she died.

[@timothymoore6341]

Melinda was actually killed by Elijah, Blair's fiance, even though everyone thought Mitch did it.

[@SoapsGoldenAge]

I think I'm most fond of Joe & Vicki too. He was such a good match for her. It always felt too "opposites" with Clint. Sloane was also pretty good, not so fond of Charlie. Again, too opposites. She needs a more polished guy like Joe or Sloan Carpenter

[@gotch09]

@bmf1706 Can I bug you one more time? Come to think of it, how was Larry written out of OLTL?

[@calalilygirl]

@bmf1706 Hope they bring him back before the cancellation. They really should. This shows phenomenal history justifies bringing Larry back into the fold before it's ending. He was there from the inception with Meredith and for so long was an integral part of this show. Always liked Larry so much.

[@gotch09]

@bmf1706 I forgot that Larry and Meredith had a son. I haven't followed soaps in 30 years. But with the soap network, I watch a little here and there. I've always preferred the ABC soaps the best.

[@robertmastroianni]

Sorry for the crap comment. It is just that I wanted to watch cartoons as a 5 year old at that time and my mother wanted to watch OLTL. I just remember some doctor saying, "Joe Riley is alive" when everything thought he dies in a car accident.

[@natalieps2387]

Erika said that if joe never was killed off bc lee left the show she & joe would have been together forever. She also said she was never given an explanation as to why Clint & viki had to break up. The show decided viki could not be happy anymore. I just think head writer michael malone wanted to marginalize the 80s domination of the buchanans & bring the lord family to the forefront. They killed off sloan rather quickly bc they wanted a catalyst to vikis d.i d story

[@SoapsGoldenAge]

I can see that--I like the actor fine, but not in love with the aw-shucks Charlies. And Vicki rules when she's being elegant and classy. With Joe, they lived in that little house (this is before she took back Lanfair from a livid Dorian-GREAT stuff). But even in that little house, she had grace. Whenever they've tried to "down-home" Vicki, it just hasn't worked as well. And I'm NOT talking about the alters.She's alwyas great there (though NEVER more than when Malone wrote them!)

[@substitute91]

i agree with you too. I also think she needs someone more 'polished' like Joe or Sloan. I dont like her with Charlie. Maybe a little with Clint and Ben. But she seem to fit in much more with men like Sloan and Joe. I know Joe was also an alcoholic like Charlie, but it sort of difference. Idk, maybe its just me. And Jerry VerDorn's Clint maybe can fit in as well. Well, Cheers.

why did viii have to learn to walk again was she in a accident

[@jlomax]

What ever happened to Kevin????

[@ginamunoz7621]

70s

[@calalilygirl]

@CamilleLord The show has run it's course though. Let it go out with some decency. It really may have already stayed on too long as it is. This show was one of the best in it's day though. IMO Days of Our Lives should follow suit and bid farewell. That show is a shell of what it once was.
