A quote from Lara Parker (Angelique), commenting on the role of Victoria (as played by Alexandra Moltke), from "America On The Rerun":
"Alexandra had this distance, this cool, and was just ravishing. She was a very real actress but she didn't bring a lot of energy to it, but again it worked for her character, because Victoria Winters was supposed to be reactive--she was the protagonist--she was the one that it was happening to.
She was the audience's eyes. We saw it all through her eyes. She didn't have to be strong--she just had to be the bridge that carried us into the show. And her lack of energy--which drove the directors mad--didn't really do any harm because she seemed so real. The rest of us seemed larger than life, but she seemed very placid [and] natural."
That said, perhaps if Vicki had been continuously bewitched, we the audience would have lost our bridge. I love how after Dr. Hoffman slapped Cassandralique, Vicki icily commented to the witch, "You deserve a lot more than just a slap in the face!" Vicki could be a tough cookie when confronted by the adversity brought on by Angelique, and perhaps that gave us hope for normality being triumphant over voodoo.
