back when i was watching 1970 parallel-time i waxed rhapsodic about the possibilities of a not-so-nice victoria at the center of the proceedings.
vain,pleasure-seeking,cruel,clad not in boxy dacron ohrbachs but draped with gems and exquisite couture...
ooh la la!but 'twas not to be and i digress.back to 1968 i just wonder if jeff's departure was done deal from the get-go,a character with a limited shelf life,or if his abrupt disappearance was triggered by all the cast changes and the storyline shift.
the reason i said one can "assume" that had alexandra not left than the character vicki would not have been sent back in time is that she left abruptly mid-contract.so had that not transpired one can assume that the character would have stuck around to endure more suffering.she was so good at it.
