« on: August 28, 2008, 05:29:18 PM »[spoiler]many fans have surmised that Vicki was simply sent back to the past because Betsy Durkin didn't work out as Vicki[/spoiler]
I've never heard that one but I'm a fandom neophyte still. There was Victoria #3, so they didn't just jettison the character, obviously...? After all the build-up about the romance across time, it's hard to imagine it just petering out, with Victoria 2 staying in 1968 and Jeff/Bradford staying gone (if Durkin had been thought to be working out)... not that DS isn't full of unhappy endings. Quentin [spoiler]lost Amanda Harris[/spoiler] and just soldiered on....
Vicki has just disappeared in my viewing, by the way. Anyway, Roger's dream must have meant something, and obviously it didn't refer to Jeb Hawkes, so I'm guessing that the danger Jeff would lead her into was the past. Earlier on with Vicki they talk about her obsession with the past, how it might be dangerous, and how she might lose herself in the past. That all seems like some pretty heavy foreshadowing to me. It could be that they were considering having her hang for real the "first time around" though.
