David Vickers
David Vickers is a fictional character from the American soap opera One Life to Live, portrayed by Tuc Watkins.
The character David Vickers was first introduced in 1994 by Tuc Watkins, who played the character until 1996. He then briefly reprised the role in October 2001 and January 2002. Watkins returned from August 2003 through November 2006, and then for a five-month run starting March 6, 2007. He reappeared again near the end of May 2007 and left on July 26, 2007, only to return temporarily in November 2007.
Watkins returned for another short-term run from May 7 to August 6, 2008, and Soap Opera Digest subsequently named David their "Most Entertaining Male Character" of 2008, writing: "Time and time again, David's harebrained schemes and Tuc Watkins's side-splitting performances provide amusement we're always sorry to see end." Watkins returned again from December 26, 2008, though March 2, 2009, later reappearing on April 7, 2009, and on April 22, April 23, and April 27, 2009. Watkins returned on August 10, 2009, February 2010, April 2010, and June 2010. Watkins reprised the role continually from late 2010 through the original television finale episode aired on January 12, 2012, and reprised the role when new daily episodes of OLTL debuted on Hulu, iTunes, and FX Canada via The Online Network on April 29, 2013. Watkins also appeared on All My Children for several episodes in 2005.
In 2007, David spends time in prison for a crime he did not commit. Asa Buchanan agreed to pay him $10 million to murder Spencer Truman. When Truman is murdered by Lindsay Rappaport, David pleads guilty in order to receive the payoff. While David is in prison, Jessica Buchanan is in need of a liver transplant. Dorian visits David and asks him to get tested to see if he is a match. He is not interested in helping Jessica, but takes the test anyway.
David is angry when Detective John McBain fights to get him out of jail because he will not receive payment from Asa. McBain feels certain that David did not commit murder. David is released but has no money and no home. It seems no one in Llanview will let him move in with him. Viki Davidson, however, agrees to let him move into Llanfair when she sees how jealous and angry it makes Dorian. Viki and David pretend to be lovers to further annoy Dorian. In the process, they become good friends.
Jessica's body rejects a transplant from her husband, Antonio Vega. It is revealed that David is a match. David does not want to donate part of his liver but is willing to do it for a fee. He tells Clint Buchanan that he will agree to the surgery for $10 million. Clint takes the deal and states that he will not tell Viki about the bribe.
Viki is grateful to David for saving her daughter. She brings David a new computer as a thank-you gift while visiting him in the hospital. When she finds out that he was paid for the deed, she is angry and storms out of the room. David is sad to lose his best friend and soon signs the money back over to Clint. Viki forgives him.
In November 2007, David is stalked at Dreamland, a pricey rehab facility on an unnamed tropical island, by Alex Olanov. At the funeral of Asa Buchanan in August, Olanov overhears Nigel tell Max Holden that David is Asa's biological son. Olanov also learns that David is at the resort not as a client/patient, but is working there as a towel boy/waiter. Alex pretends to be there to treat her addiction to sex (aggravated when her wealthy ex-husband dies) but cons the broke Vickers into marrying him to help her "cure" her addiction. Smelling a fun ride through the money Alex received from her dead ex-husband, David quickly agrees to marry Alex. Olanov gets David to sign a prenup, which gives him half of her earnings and her half of his earnings in a divorce. Thinking he's completely broke, David eagerly signs the document. Olanov and Vickers then fly to Texas, where Clint Buchanan, Nora Buchanan, Renee Divine Buchanan, Jessica Buchanan, Nash Brennan, Natalie Buchanan, Jared Banks, Nigel Bartholomew-Smythe, and Matthew Buchanan have all gone for the reading of Asa's will. David is at this point still in the dark about his new family and inheritance. David and Alex run into Dorian at the airport on their way to Texas. At the ranch—when Dorian misinterprets a kiss between Clint and Nora—she and David wind up having sex (which Clint discovers the next morning). After Alex discovers that Asa left Vickers no money in the will, she dumps David.
