The Truth About Tina
In 1984, Viki's former ward Tina Clayton returns to Llanview (following her initial arrival in 1978) with shocking news for Viki. The daughter of Viki's deceased childhood friend and college roommate Irene Manning Clayton, Tina had read her mother's diary and discovered that Ted Clayton had not been her father after all. Dorian's marital bequeathing from Victor is frozen when Tina uncovers that Victor had once married Irene; with no record of a divorce, Dorian's marriage to Victor is declared invalid (it is later revealed in the series narrative that Victor had indeed divorced Irene several years before his marriage to Dorian, making his marriage to Dorian legal). Soon, Tina discovers a secret room underneath the Llanfair library-study, in which she finds Nazi-plundered paintings from World War II and a letter written to Viki in which Victor admits to his affair with Irene and siring of his previously-unacknowledged daughter, Tina.

Famous quotes containing the word truth:
“I feel that you will not only be the making of my happiness, but also of my fortunes or success in life. The truth is I never did half try to be anything, or do anything. There was no motive ... and so I have lived, not an idle, but a useless sort of life. Hereafter I hope all that will be quite changed.... I shall have purpose and steadiness to keep ever doing, looking to your happiness and approval as my best reward.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
