For over 42 years, Erika played the role of Viki , and through her battles with DID, her nemesis and frenemy, Dorian Cramer Lord (played by Robin Strasser) and her countless on-screen husbansd, and trials and tribulations, Viki wasthe moral center of the town of Llanview, and to this day one of the greatest characters created by Agnes Nixon, and played by one of the greatest actresses ever in the genre .
This interview was conducted during the COVID-19 stay-at-home precautions, so Michael and Erika decided to bring this video to the enduring fans of One Life to Live and the soaps.
