Nichole C Mullen Greatest Hits mood Dorky Hi Shelby here , Where we work is a Energency Room and off our assesment area is a TV waiting room . Well everyone kept talking about finding out what happens to "Jessie" and "Tess" on "One Life To Live " I guess for years, There was a character that played Vicki with her "alters" Nicki and then maybe others . Having MPD/DID she won many Emmys and Soap Opera awards for her "accurate portrayal of a multiple and bringing awareness to the "disorder" The whole plot has changed to now intergrated Vickie Buchanans daughter Jessie or Jessica now has a alter named Tess . It's on at 2pm on Channel 13 ( ABC) Eastern time The Character Vicki now Mom is trying to convince everyone Jessica' ( daughter) husband and Boyfriend, relatives that indeed her daughter is "insane now "and in a fight for her life making statements Like "You have know idea what a "alter" wlll do to ,to continue living " How the Core lives in blackness and a black pit of Nothingness and ,can see the hand of the alter reaching in to help her and pull her out and they need each other to live , merge and integrate" . I finally peeked my head out to see a bunch of clients standing around the TV in suspense as" Tess" is confronted with reality of really being Jessica and not "a real person". Of course Tess pulls a gun on a complete Police Dept and it ends On a close up freeze of Tess and Jess fighting for control of reality and the body, holding the gun shaking , Blinking in pain ... Music fade's away ! I went into my office shut the door and wanted to bash my head on my desk . This plot carried OLTL threw the 70' 80's 90's and just when in 2000 we thought it was over for good , it is back again To visit Vickis daughter . Vicki actually orignated this role and the character of "Nicki" the evil Vicki in the 70's but it was considered split personality, then . Has anyone seen it ?. If you want a good laugh or preferr purging from nausea we suggest ..watch this daily . Peace Shelby

I think, that cross posting coding and things was not the right way to do it.

I'd fix the code but only the person who posted can do that -- the admins are only allowed to delete posts, not really to edit them.

Would you please not delete this post? Would you please edit it to remove everything but the text of your message itself? Go to the top of this screen and click on the little pencil icon. That'll take you into a place where you can work on the message.

I'd do it in an instant, but admins can only delete an entire post.

This post does not need to be deleted, especially with all the responses to it. It's a valid post with valid commentary.

But the actress Erica ? who plays Vicki the multiple Mother who originated the role won a emmy 12 years in a role as long as she played a Multiple .

Now Jessica the daughter will be nominated this year ,It just makes me ill.


I think a lot of multiple characters on TV are just to give the actresses a chance to spin their heads and spit pea soup, so to speak. It's like when Sally Field won an Emmy for "Sybil" in 1976-- I mean, that whole movie, really, half the reason it was so overdramatised (they made her look like even more of a basket case than the book did) was just for Sally Field to show off her acting skills and do everyone's different voices. Actually, I think it goes all the way back to Joanne Woodward winning the Oscar for "Three Faces of Eve" in 1957. Basically, you get to play several characters in one movie-- flat caricatures all of them, who on their own would probably be laughed at for being such stock stereotypes, but if you're a multiple it's "showing your incredible range of acting," and "accurately portraying the tragic life of people with this disorder."

Are they trotting out that ragged old warhorse again? The plot about Viki/Niki's daughter has been going on, off and on, for about what, twenty years now? They probably started it up again because of this Oxnam thing.

The official website for the show is http://abc.go.com/daytime/onelifetolive/index.html

You can post to a message board there, which will inform other viewers that the Viki/Niki, Jess/Tess storyline is crap; that will probably do more good than to write to ABC itself, but to do that, use the contact form here:
http://abc.go.com/site/contactus.html

Keep in mind that more than anything else, they care that you are watching, not whether or not you like it.

Whenever you are asked about multiplicity, in addition to saying "it isn't like Sybil", tell them it isn't like "One Life to Live" either.

Hi Elaine

I was just adding my two cents to the OLTL forum board one day cus I was board out of my mind and the people seemed so confused. Clearing things up like "yes it does actually exist" and there is more litterature on it that just Sybil. My personal favorite is how they were disgusing the concept of Viki being Jessica's mom and Niki being Tess's mom. I had a long post to that one but it is gone so either it was deleted or one the the system didn't want me causing shit and educating these people...not that I am an expert by any strech of the means.
It didn't make me mad just made me laugh and realize we realy need to go back to work lol.

I cleaned up your gr/sp and tightened it up a bit and posted it, crediting it to you, [livejournal.com profile] jadedmosaic^Shelby, to [livejournal.com profile] pavilionhall and [livejournal.com profile] plural_watching -- both communities are fairly dead, but we're using them to keep records of these things.

What kind of communities have you been in that they blacklist you for making a formatting error?

The letter campaigns you're talking about are supposed to be coordinated by Pavilion.
http://www.karitas.net/pavilion/

The problem is that not enough people know about it yet.

Bah, it's not dead, it's just.. hibernating.

Which reminds me, I need to sit down and do up a good review for some of the stuff I've stumbled across... and to do the reviews right the first time around so I don't feel the need to tweak later.

Thanks for reminding me that those comms still exist.

And thank you for your faith in Pavilion.

Re: We made paragraph breaks but they arent here

The admins cannot edit your posts. Only you can do that. For paragraph breaks, you need to skip two lines (hit the "enter" key twice) for each paragraph you want to make.

Again, the only control the admins have over posts is to delete them. Jay's policy on this community is never to delete posts unless in the case of an extreme asshole.

It does look a lot better and I thank you, Elaine.
