(Yes folks, she was a doctor). At any rate, Vicky flips out into schizophrenia becoming both Vicki and *Icky Nicky*. Real neat plotline. plotline. I don't remember what all happened back then except that it finally was resolved and Vicky was one whole person for the longest time. Alas, now little twit Tina has discovered that her real father is none other than Vicki's beloved Dad, Victor Lord (I never liked him anyway). Vicki idolizes the memory of Daddy and can't stand the idea of him bedding down with Tina's mom, Vicki's past best friend. Vicki cracks under the strain, and Nicky is back. Plot twist: Although it didn't really happen in the scripts of yesteryear, the writers have it now so that Nicky was having an affair with Harry years ago, and she disappeared (of course) when Vicki was cured that time. Not only does this mean that very straight Harry was cheating on his wife, **but**, it sets up a verrrry interesting competition between Dorian (who now wants Harry) and Vicky/Nicky. Bravo to the writers for thinking this one up. *
