It's another of those fluff pieces I love so much.
In a published report, Amelia Heinle (Victoria
Newman) says her character has come to realize "how
precious life is" now that Victoria has made a
miraculous emergence from a coma during which she
never was fed, or hooked up to life-support. Yup,
near death will do that to you.
Dubbed the "reawakened bride", Victoria says that
J.T. Hellstrom asked her to marry him again and so,
mere minutes out of the fog, she agrees and they do
it today with only "a few friends and family" on
hand who we see aren't really friends at all given
that J.T. has no friends except for his former boss,
and Victoria is so strapped for female friends she
had to turn to never really approved of her marriage
to brother Nick, Phyllis Newman.
As for the wedding dress, Heinle said that Victoria
wanted to wear her mother's gown because "the whole
thing is about family and being together" even
though the family is split three ways from Sunday
with Nick estranged from daddy Victor, and recently
divorced mommy Nikki inviting lover David Chow to the
shindig who has no qualms about poking his nose into
a family affair where he ordinarily wouldn't be
wanted were it not for the fact that these are no
ordinary people.
"She knows at this point that her parents are
getting a divorce, but that doesn't bother her,"
Heinle adds, which is strange because by the time
Victoria came out of her coma Victor and Nikki's
divorce had already been finalized.
And the something borrowed, something blue, wedding
ring given to Victoria by Katherine Chancellor whose
long dead husband gave it to the old lady on her
wedding day? Says Heinle, "Kay lets Victoria borrow
this really beautiful blue ring."
Borrow? So Katherine's an Indian-giver? Or did
Heinle mean she, the actress, got to borrow the ring,
but Victoria the character gets to keep it? At any
rate, Heinle says she'd actually wear the ring in
real life and, "I could probably ask for it and they
would give it to me. It's not real."
Holy shit! Not real? As in fake ruby, or as in it
came from a Crackerjack box and I wouldn't, pardon
the pun, be seen dead wearing it?
As we've already pointed a crooked finger at another
of the bizarre inconsistencies Genoa City is known
for, Heinle went on to say, "Phyllis (Michelle
Stafford) asked Victoria to be her bridesmaid, so
Victoria asks Phyllis to be her maid of honor.
Michelle and I always laugh because we really aren't
friends on the show. Victoria backed out of her
wedding!"
And on the issue of J.T. having to ask Paul Williams
to be his best man, was it because J.T. doesn't have
any friends?
"I don't know why. [...] They work together and Paul
is really the character J.T. relates with," Heinle
said.
The something borrowed is trouble when Victoria
discovers on Friday that she can't walk just before
heading down the aisle. Given the fact that Nikki
has said it's a "miracle" that Victoria is getting
married within hours of coming out of a coma,
Victoria walks and she talks and a grand time is had
by all.
Despite that most marriages in Genoa City don't
last, Heinle concludes, "Victoria and J.T. won't
fade into the woodwork."
