Vicky Hudson

Vicky Hudson is a fictional character that appeared on the NBC daytime soap opera Another World and the CBS daytime soap opera As the World Turns. The character was introduced in 1985 as the secret twin sister of Marley Love, and the twins were played by Ellen Wheeler, who left the following year due to exhaustion. Rhonda Lewin then portrayed Vicky from September to December 1986, before the role of both twins were then played by Anne Heche from 1987 to 1991. Vicky was last played by Jensen Buchanan, who debuted on July 25, 1991. The character was killed in a plane crash in November 1999, but remained as a ghost through 2001. Cynthia Watros also portrayed the role temporarily in 1998.

Victoria "Vicky" Carson and her twin sister, Marley, are born to teenagers Michael Hudson (Kale Browne) and Donna Love (Anna Stuart). Michael never knew Donna was pregnant and Donna was unaware that she had given birth to twins. Marley was raised as Donna's sister and enjoyed all the privileges of coming from a wealthy family. Vicky was stolen by her grandfather, Reginald Love (John Considine), and given up for adoption. Vicky was adopted by Phillip and Grace Carson and grew up poor in Lassiter, Pennsylvania. She was raised by Bridget Connell (Barbara Berjer) after her parents' death.

Teenage Vicky discovered that there was an heiress named Marley Love that looked exactly like her living in Bay City. Her boyfriend Jake McKinnon (Tom Eplin) came to Bay City before Vicky. The plan was for Jake to film Marley so that Vicky could study videos and impersonate her for long enough to access her trust fund and take the half to which she was entitled. With Vicky's arrival, the truth about what Reginald did all those years ago came out and Vicky was welcomed into the Love family. Jake ended up falling in love with Marley, leaving Vicky heartbroken since she and Jake had been lovers. Despite the wedge between them, Vicky saved leukemia-stricken Marley's life when she donated her bone marrow to her. Vicky came around eventually and formed close bonds with Marley, Donna, Michael, and the rest of her family. She reluctantly gave her blessing to Jake and Marley's marriage.

Vicky got into a car accident and was in a coma for a few months. Jamie Frame (Laurence Lau) was Vicky's doctor during her coma and helped to bring Vicky back to life. Vicky started to fall for Jamie but he didn't return her feelings because he was in love with Lisa Grady (Joanna Going), niece of Felicia Gallant (Linda Dano). Both Lisa and Jamie regarded Vicky as a friend, but that did not matter to Vicky who was determined to have Jamie for herself. After trying for months to put a wedge between them, Vicky finally got her way when she and Jamie made love. She also slept with Jake, who was separated from Marley, around that time. Vicky found out she was pregnant and was unsure of who the father was. Vicky told Jamie the baby was his, causing his and Lisa's relationship to deteriorate. Jamie and Vicky married and welcomed a son, Steven Michael Frame. After Jamie grew suspicious, Vicky confessed that Jake might be Steven's father, but then lied that he had raped her. Jamie attacked Jake who revealed that the sex was consensual. A DNA test was done to determine Steven's paternity. Jake and Marley had reconciled and decided they would sue for full custody of Steven if Jake turned out to be his father. Vicky was infuriated by this and made it clear that her sister and best friend were now dead to her. The DNA test proved Jamie was Steven's father, but the damage was done and both Hudson sisters saw their marriages end.

Jamie sued for and won full custody of Steven. Vicky was devastated and vowed to get her son back. She had been left stock in Cory Publishing by Reginald and decided to use it as leverage when the position of CEO at Cory Publishing was up for vote and it was between Jamie's mother, Rachel Cory (Victoria Wyndham), and his stepsister Iris Wheeler (Carmen Duncan). Vicky offered to vote for Rachel in exchange for Steven, but Rachel refused. The vote came down to a tie with Vicky having the deciding vote. Vicky walked into the Cory Publishing boardroom and announced her vote for Iris, getting her revenge on Jamie and Rachel.

One day, while riding her horse at the country club, Vicky met the love of her life, Ryan Harrison (Paul Michael Valley). Ryan was instantly smitten with brazen, feisty Vicky, while Vicky was unimpressed with him. They began dating, but Vicky was only using Ryan to make Jamie, who was now dating Marley, jealous. Eventually, Vicky realized she cared deeply for Ryan and they began seriously dating. Vicky fell head over heels in love with Ryan. Vicky's relationship with Ryan also helped her give up her devious ways, although she was often jealous of Ryan's close friendship with his private eye partner Frankie Frame (Alice Barrett).

Meanwhile, Jake had gone into a downward spiral of depravity since his split with Marley. One of his most heinous acts was sleeping with Donna, who was now married to Michael. Vicky was disgusted when she found out about their one-night-stand, but agreed not to tell anyone to keep her family together. One night, Marley came home distraught and claimed that Jake had tried to rape her (Marley was lying since Jake actually did rape her). Vicky was furious and decided to take care of Jake herself, but someone beat her to it, because she found Jake shot. Jake survived and Marley, who was innocent, was charged with his attempted murder. When Marley panicked and fled the country, Vicky took her place at trial so she would not get into trouble. When Vicky found out from Marley's lawyer, Cass Winthrop (Stephen Schnetzer), that Jake had actually raped Marley, she was devastated.

Marley eventually returned to face the music. When it appeared Marley was going to go down for the crime, Donna confessed to shooting Jake, even though she was also innocent. In her "confession," Donna had to admit she slept with Jake. Luckily, Donna was cleared, but her marriage to Michael was over and Marley wanted nothing to do with her. The Hudson family was in tatters, but Ryan was there for Vicky every step of the way. Ryan proposed and Vicky happily accepted.
