Viki's (Erika Slezak) life is
about to go from bad to worse as Tess (Bree Williamson) continues to sabotage
her efforts to gain custody of Jessica's baby. But when her plan to expose
Viki's cheating husband proves not to be enough to stop her, Tess is forced to
take drastic action and call on the aid of her "mother," Niki Smith.
Deciding to kick Viki while she's down and out to ensure that she get her
hands on Ryder's trust fund money, Tess pay her a visit on Monday, April 18, and
the two quickly get into an argument. In the heat of the moment, Tess manages to
rattle Viki's cage to point that Niki is able to take gain control of Viki's
overwrought state of mind. With Niki now in control, Tess suggests they team up
to get what they want. Sounds like a disaster just waiting to happen, especially
considering what happened the last time the pair partnered up. Like mother, like
daughter after all.
So what's next for the unlikely duo? Williamson hinted in an appearance on
"The Wendy Williams Show" earlier this month that Jessica may be getting a new
alter later this spring. Also, the Suds Report claims that "OLTL" is looking to
cast a Viki body double, saying the show is searching for an actress with "Short
hair. Height: 5’6”. Estimated Weight: 145 lbs. Top Size: 12. Bottom Size: 10.
(recurring). Note: Strong actress needed. Will not affect possible role on the
show."
This is the first time Niki Smith has appeared since the fall of 2008, when
Tess conjured up an image of her while giving birth to her stillborn daughter
Chloe, at which time, Jessica's "gatekeeper" personality Bess took control.
Look for Viki's troubles to cumulative in a special episode on Tuesday, April
26

oh boy - and so it cotinues. I wonder how long this will go on. Thanks for the spoilers.

Should be interesting, but Niki and Tess together tend to be complete overkill, so I hope that it's brief. I agree with Kral; it would have be more entertaining if Jean came out instead, but I don't think the shows current writing staff are sophisticated enough to write for her.

LOL what about Tommy, we never really got a good dose of Tommy, just some brief moments here and there. I agree with Chris, this writing team would have to do some research into the past to write for Jean Randolph. Niki is pretty much easy enough since she is a lot like Tess but don't you think at this age hearing Niki saying she wants to go out and have a good time with the guys is a bit much?

Totally. Every time Niki comes out, she becomes more of a parody. As much as I like ES, I don't think her post-1980s/post-red wig performances of Niki Smith have been her best. With Niki, she lays on the camp too thick; as if she is compensating for something.

We can only hope that this will all turn out to be a bad dream or at least last for a short time,like the length of one episode!I love
Viki,but I've had it with the alters and that includes whoever else is
lurking in Jessica's feeble little brain.

All Clint have to do is withdraw the trustfund until Jessica reemerges and that will solve the Tess/Ford problem. Why do they have to make everything so hard.
