Through the Years with Jake and Vicky- Pt. I Quiz

Answer: Lassiter, Pennsylvania

Jake and Vicky grew up in the poor mining town of Lassiter. Best friends at an early age, they dreamed of leaving their small town and finding their fortunes.

Answer: Marley

Vicky discovered she had a rich twin in Bay City, and she and Jake headed over to Bay City in 1985 so Vicky could nab her share of the fortune.

Vicky and Marley were initially played by Ellen Wheeler, who won an Emmy for her work. Tom Eplin originated the role of Jake and played him until the end of the show.

Answer: Donna was actually her and Vicky's mother

Donna had gotten pregnant as a teenager. Her father, Reginald Love, kept her hidden from everyone. After giving birth, Reginald sent Vicky away with Bridget Connell to be raised in Lassiter, and Marley was passed off as Reginald's daughter and Donna's sister. Donna was drugged during the delivery, so although she always knew the truth about Marley, she never knew of Vicky until she showed up in Bay City.

Answer: true

Jake ended up falling for Marley, even though he and Vicky had been together when they arrived in Bay City. To Jake, Marley was the good, kind twin, while Vicky was wild and impetuous. They married in 1986 and left Bay City. Interestingly enough, Tom Eplin and Ellen Wheeler also got married, although their marriage only lasted a few years.

Answer: Jamie Frame

Vicky was pursuing Jamie Frame, but had also secretly slept with Jake, who was back in town and having problems with Marley. When she got pregnant, she wasn't sure who the father was. Jake found out he was sterile, so that solved that problem as far as Vicky was concerned. She and Jamie got married. However, after Steven was born, Jake found out there had been a mistake and Marley was the one who was sterile, not him. A paternity test proved Jamie was indeed the father, but the damage was done and Vicky and Jamie, as well as Jake and Marley, divorced.

The roles of Vicky and Marley were at that time played by Anne Heche, who also won an Emmy for her work.

Answer: Paulina Cory

Marley was the prime suspect because Jake had raped her when she refused to re-marry him. Paulina, however, was the real culprit. She shot Jake because she had been posing as a Cory, and Jake had found evidence that proved she wasn't a real Cory. After emerging from his coma, Jake blackmailed Paulina into marrying him so he would keep quiet about her being the trigger-woman, as well as to get his hands on Paulina's inheritance, since she was finally proved to be a true Cory.

Interesting fact: all the other women listed were also suspects. Donna had had a one-night stand with Jake, and he was blackmailing her about it. Vicky, who was the first one to find Jake after he was shot, had just learned about the rape and was understandably mad at him. Iris had been the one to hire Jake to prove Paulina wasn't a Cory, and wasn't happy with him when she found out he slept with Paulina.

Answer: Grant Harrison

Although Vicky loved Ryan, she was drawn to his brother Grant, a politician. She loved the exciting and glamorous life that Grant appeared to offer her, so she married him in 1993.

Vicky was now being played by Jensen Buchanan, who would continue to play Vicky until the end of the show.

Answer: her son, Kirkland

Vicky soon realized that Grant was not the man she thought he was and divorced him. Terrified that Grant would take their newborn son away from her, Vicky had run away from Bay City for a few months, and came back with a pretty elaborate baby-switch scheme.

She passed off a newborn that she had found while visiting Marley in San Francisco as Kirkland, and left her son with Jake and Paulina, having him pose as an abandoned child that she knew they would take care of. However, the scam fell apart, and the babies were returned to their respective parents.

Answer: Grant

Grant had shot himself and set up Vicky to get custody of their son. This would be a recurring theme in Grant and Vicky's relationship; Grant pulling a diabolical stunt to either get sole custody of Kirkland or trying to get rid of Vicky altogether. This time, Ryan was able to prove Grant shot himself, and got him to confess while on the stand. Vicky was cleared and retained custody of Kirkland.

Answer: she was a pallbearer

Vicky was devastated to lose her best friend. Since there wasn't enough pallbearers, she stepped in to fill the missing spot. In tears, she whispered to the casket for Jake to "save the swing next to yours" in heaven. Nobody knew that Jake was alive and suffering from amnesia. He left town, but eventually got his memory back and came back to Bay City, startling everyone.
