Erika Slezak Interview: OLTL Icon Shares Her Thoughts on Her Daytime Emmy Nomination & More!

The one and only Erika Slezak found out her name was called this morning when the nominations for the 39th Annual Daytime Emmys were revealed!  And what a bittersweet moment this is for the six-time Daytime Emmy winner, who will now go for her record setting seventh win in the Outstanding Actress in a Drama Series for her work as Viki on One Life to Live.

On-Air On-Soaps received a call from Erika this morning just shortly after the nominations were announced and she shared her reactions and thoughts and what she submitted that got her the nomination.  Plus,  she commented on OLTL’s Emmy snub for Best Show and Writing, and the DID storyline on GH where they have referenced Viki!

Here’s our chat with Emmy nominee, Erika!

Congratulations on your Daytime Emmy Nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress! How did you find out you got the nod?

ERIKA:  I was a judge, so the Academy had sent me an email last week saying the nominations were supposed to be announced Friday, but now they will be announced sometimes next week. And then I had not really followed it, and then my daughter Amanda called me this morning, and she said, “Mom! Congratulations.”  So she figured it out and she was watching it on The Today Show.  So I was absolutely delighted it came from her.

What did you submit for the final round of voting?  It has to be the 40th Anniversary show! It was one of your greatest performances ever on OLTL!

ERIKA:  Yes.  I submitted my 40th Anniversary show.  I wanted to submit a different show that I just loved because it was so good and that was when Viki walked in on Charlie and Echo in bed.  But they split that into two shows, but we taped it as one show. There was so much material in it, so Frank Valentini said we are going to cut it into two shows.  I couldn’t submit it because it was not a full show.

But for the pre-nominations, didn’t you go with a two-minute piece from the episode where Viki walked in on Charlie and Echo at the motel?

ERIKA:  Yes, that is what I did.  Again had that been one show, I probably would have submitted that because there was so much in it and Brian Kerwin (Charlie) was so lovely and Kim Zimmer (Echo) was amazing.   So I submitted my show instead, which is just me! (Laughs)

What a tour de force watching you play, Viki, Niki and Jean.  The 40th anniversary episode was an actor’s dream show!

Courtesy/ABC

ERIKA:  It is an actor’s nightmare and dream show! (Laughs)  The nightmare part was playing all the different alters all together. Listen, I am not complaining.  I loved every second of it! But it was a great deal of work. The problem with doing that show was because we had two doubles, we had to shoot it as if it’s in Viki’s mind.  We had to have all three of us, (the three alters), and so I had to have doubles who would be playing the other characters. So when I would be playing Viki someone else would be playing Jean, and someone else would be playing Niki.  When I was playing Niki, someone else was playing Viki and Jean, and it was very complicated.  I had to know what I was going to do in order to react.  So I had to ask these ladies, “Please don’t do anything.  Just say the lines flat.  I cannot react to you, because I have to know what I am going to say.” (Laughs)  That was the only way I could react to them.  We started with Viki, and then Jean, and then finally Niki.  I was scared to death,  and it was shot out of order.  It was scary and thrilling!  I thank God for Larry Carpenter’s directing.  Frank Valentini was there overseeing everything as well.  I thank God for that, too.

It would be amazing if you were to win your record seventh Daytime Emmy for playing Viki and accept the award on the year when One Life was canceled!

ERIKA:  Yes, but we will see what happens.  I am just glad OLTL got a bunch of nominations and we will be there to represent the show!

So from here on out till June 23rd, will it be a nice time for you to enjoy this Emmy ride?

Courtesy/ABC

ERIKA:  I have made the reservation to Los Angeles with the family and we are going to have a whole week there and make it a vacation.  So that will be nice.  I am looking forward to it.

One Life to Live was left out, snubbed again, out of the Drama Series and Writing categories, in a year when there submission was great!  I am so disappointed!

ERIKA:  Me too!  I was very disappointed that One Life to Live, did not get a Best Show nod. I mean, c’mon.  There were only six shows.  It’s a damn shame.  And I am really sorry about that.  I know what they submitted and I thought it was great material and very different.

Have you checked in to see General Hospital lately and the telling of the Kate/Connie DID storyline?  And, how they mentioned Viki in it?

ERIKA:  No, but someone emailed me and went, “Oh my God.  Viki and Jessica wrote a book together about DID.”  I thought, “Oh no!  That would never ever happen.”  It was something so private between the two of them.  But anyway, it’s Ron Carlivati’s idea and he worked it in to GH, and that’s fine.   I am just waiting for my $25.00 dollars, for when they use a picture or photo likeness of you. (Laughs)

I believe that the Viki/Jess book referenced on GH was unauthorized and not authored by Viki and Tess, but I could see where it could have been interpreted that way!  (Laughs) Finally Erika, what do you think about the other ladies in your Emmy category?  Pretty great group!

ERIKA: I  know them all! They are all awesome. Every single one of them is a wonderful actress.  Laura Wright won last year.  Crystal Chappell, I think submitted an awesome tape and Debbi Morgan as well.  Heather Tom, who I dearly love, is always wonderful.  It will be great to be there at the Emmys with all of them.

What do you think of Erika’s Daytime Emmy nomination for her 40th Anniversary episode? Are you rooting for her to win?  Let us know!

Oh my god I love that woman, I want her to win so bad she deserves it, I hope we get to see her win, Along with robert woods and eddie alderson, it’s a shame that one life to live is not up for best drama series and writing, Im still trying to figure that out. But I love my Erika slezak and I want her to win, I miss vicki buchannan, and all the rest of the cast. In my heart they deserve the gold and I want her to win the 7th one.

So happy for Erika! I hope she wins!!! Lucky #7. I can’t believe OLTL didn’t get nominated for best show or writing!? WTF? OLTL was the best show last year, period. AMC, really? Pull your heads out of your asses daytime emmys.

I have to agree. As much as I love and stuck by AMC, even through their long, downward spiral into creative-death, OLTL has consistently hit the high note with incredible stories and actors to play them out. OLTL should’ve been nominated if only for the touching reunion with Shane, Gigi and Rex.

I agree with you Mitchell………………………………OLTL was the BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am going to disagree on this one regarding Susan Lucci she has always been very gracious about Erika Slezak’s wins she even made a small speech about how she respected her work at an emmy telecast.

Best of luck to Erika “Vicki” Slezak in getting her 7th (and last) emmy trophy. And again, thanks for all the memories.

I do not know yet what the others submitted but as I predicted I think she will probably take this one home! The only reason I can figure out on why OLTL did not get an emmy nom for Best Show is maybe they judges did not get the Fraternity Row episode I thought it was good, I think probably GH will take it for the episode with Lukes intervention.

Casey Costello
Guest
Casey Costello

Yes, I am thrilled that Slezak was nominated again! No one deserves that award more than she does for that brilliant 40th anniversary show performance she gave! I so hope she wins. But Michael, by the way, next time you talk to Erika, please tell her that the book they used on GH with her picture on it was not supposed to have been written by Viki and Jessica–the book was called “Oh Yes They D.I.D.! – The Unauthorized Biography of Victoria Lord and Jessica Buchanan”. So Slezak need not be concerned that they are compromising Viki’s character!

I so wish in the interview Erika would have been asked “are you considering joining any other soaps?” I would love for her to move to GH. Todd and Thea are there, Starr… why not Viki! She could give that show a huge boost. I’d start watching it daily!!!

Her nomination *almost* makes up for the #OLTL snub. I’m so glad she submitted her 40th anniversary episode because it was a tour de force. I’ll definitely be pulling for her come Emmy night!

I am praying with all that is in me that Erika Slezak wins. Erika is still tops when it comes to soap operas. I really miss OLTL. I always counted on seeing Erika at 2pm. I am not alone. There are millions of OLTL fans hoping she wins. I hope OLTL , AMC & GH win every emmy. That would show ABC/D how stupid they were to let them go. Congratulations to Erika Slezak-Know You are a winner!!

I want her to win! Did anyone else think her comments about the DID book on Gh were a bit odd? I miss Viki and wonder what she is up to these days. One thing we know for sure she isn’t doing is a book tour! 🙂

Mitchell1660
Guest
Mitchell1660

I didn’t find them odd at all. As an actress, Erika would know what her character would and would not do. And Viki would certainly not write a book about a chapter in her life she’d soon not think about!

barbara t
Guest
barbara t

Why did you think it was odd? I didnt, However, Heres my Idea, Vickis book becomes a #1 best seller and she goes to port charles for a book signing, Visits Todd, Starr, John and tea, she likes it so much she stays in port charles, The quartermaines need another rich family living next to them, Clint is in london working on his company and will join her soon. I miss Ericka Slezak and I would love to see her on general hospital.

Love Erika Slezak!!! She’s gonna take it. I LOVED the scene where she found Charlie and Echo in bed. I felt all of her emotions, they bounced off the tv screen. So palpable, then when she slapped the snot of out Echo….sweet!!! The woman can act in her sleep. Miss Vicki.

Hope u get all these messages and well wishes.

All the best Ms. Slezak

A lot of emotinal seens & I got caught up in them each & every time….She is a very talented & pretty woman…She is my #1 favorite from OLTL………………..ERIKA ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I totally agree. I know she was to go on to PP b4 the deal fell through. I wonder how she’s doing? IF she went through major withdrawls on not playing Vicki? I wouldn’t be surprised if she guested on GH.

I like too that they always gave her a love interest. Seems like w/most soaps when u reach a certain age they treat u like furniture. Like you’re not a person anymore and b/c u can’t do those hot love scenes, no more love interest for u. OLTL did not do that to them, to Vicki. Loved that:)

I truly hope she wins this award. Erika is so talented and deserves this award. I was only a One Life to Live fan for a short time (after ATWT was cancelled) but I fell in love with the show immediately. It was so easy to get into because of the multi-generational storytelling. I miss it quite a bit and would love for ABC to see the error of its ways and bring back Erika and the Buchanans.

I’d also just like to mention how much it pisses me off that Erika Slezak is out of a job while people like the Kardashians are still on-air and earning millions by doing nothing other than prostituting themselves.

Yes, it is nauseating and it sucks big time. It’s one of the reasons I loathe talk shows and celebrity culture. There is no end to the sleaze appearing on television–from the New Jersey Shore to the California Kardashians–the country is deluged with garbage.

I totally agree with you. I don’t watch non-scripted television. I want to be entertained, not horrified by the lowest common denominator. If not for the second tape no one would know who they are. Erika Slezak deserves her seventh emmy. Break-a-leg Erika!

Oh, David & David Larsson, why did you have to put it that way? It just sickens me even more (if that’s possible). I CANNOT tolerate & avoid every single reference to the KARTRASHIANS or KAR-FAT-ASS-IANS as I refer to them. You are so right-the most awful of people dominating the airwaves & raking in millions while our poor soaps go by the wayside. Just seeing a picture of Erika Slezak or seeing her name in print or the name Viki brings tears to my eyes. I love & miss her & our show so much. It really HURTS me!… Read more »

Gloria, there’s nothing wrong about missing something you love. OLTL was part of our lives for decades. It has only been gone for four months. I miss our Llanview family too and it is still painful. Watching GH today with OLTL characters wasn’t that great for me, although I was happy to see Tea pregnant. There is no way their appearance on GH is anything as great as OLTL was and I can’t force myself to pretend otherwise. And the lack of nominations further adds insult to injury.

I am pretty sure the picture was made before the awful news from Prospect Park on Thanksgiving Eve. Everyone looks gorgeous & happy in this photo.

Yay! Erica Slezac will conquer all> She is the best actress from daytime soap. I would be very mad if she is not rewarded for all she has brought to OLTL. She could teach a Master Class. Maybe she should. She has never missed a beat all the years I have witnessed her perfection as Vikki/NikkiJean/and any other alters. It would be intersting if she came on GH and maybe help Kate/Connie. That could be very powerful. There can only be one winner for that Emmy, and it will be Erica Slezac………….

I feel the same as you about OLTL. I don’t think there’s much hope of OLTL returning while FV/RC are doing GH. However, if GH is canceled at some point in the future, freeing up FV/RC, OLTL could be revived, possibly in a shorter or less frequent format on a cable network. It doesn’t matter if the sets and costumes are gone. All of this could… Read more »

there’s a reason susan lucci and maurice benard have 1 emmy each (after years and years and years of screen time!!), whereas tony and erika have 6 each. that 5-emmy gap is the difference between popularity and talent. no doubt, susan and maurice have some talent, but both have their popularity to thank for their longevity more than any other factor. but erika slezak and tony geary are the true queen and king of daytime in terms of pure acting talent. for that reason i’m rooting for erika’s 7th win as her swan song!

DAYS and GH Alum Tyler Christopher Arrested for Public Intoxication

Daytime Emmy-winner, Tyler Christopher (ex-Nikolas, GH; ex-Stefan, DAYS) was arrested for public intoxication at the Burbank, California airport, this past Friday, on May 26th.

According to the Burbank PD and reports obtained by TMZ, Tyler was arrested after they found him asleep and on the ground at the American Airlines terminal.  The officers noted that Tyler displayed clear and objective signs of drinking.  They also reveal he was unable to care of himself.

Christopher, who remains a fan favorite as the former Nikolas Cassadine on GH and Stefan DiMera on DAYS has opened up and discussed his battle with alcoholism in the past.  Last year, he appeared on former GH co-star Maurice Benard’s You Tube series, State of Mind.

Tyler was released from police custody following his airport arrest, cited, and will need to appear in court at a later date.

Back in 2019, the popular actor was cited for two counts of misdemeanor public intoxication and landed in jail for two days, following an arrest in Indiana.

Y&R Alum Sasha Calle to Henry Cavill on Her ‘Supergirl’ : “Did I Make You Proud, Cuz? Did Superman Approve?”

In just a few weeks time on June 16th, The Flash will drop in theatres nationwide, and moviegoers will get to see former Y&R star Sasha Calle in her major film debut as Supergirl.

Calle played by Lola Rosales on the CBS daytime drama series from September of 2018 till June of 2021.  Now Sasha, who won the coveted role of Supergirl from the film’s director Andy Muschietti, will be mixing it up with other superheroes in the The Flash.

Photo: CBS.

EW reports that in real life, Calle actually met Henry Cavill (formerly Superman) and got his reaction to her taking on the pivotal role. Back in December of 2022, Cavill revealed he was hanging up his cape, although various reports originally had him making a cameo in The Flash.

Sasha shared, “I met him (Cavill) actually after the movie was done, months later. I gave him a big hug. You know, it’s Henry Cavill, man! Our Man of Steel. He is kind and very proper, and it was a great experience.”

She went on to say, “I asked him, ‘Did I make you proud, cuz? Does Superman approve?'”  And he was like, ‘Absolutely. You did a phenomenal job.’ I think, to me, that meant the world, because it’s Henry Cavill, Man of Steel.”

The Flash stars Ezra Miller, along with Michael Keaton, Michael Shannon, Ben Affleck and nomre.

So, what do you think of Sasha Calle getting such positive feedback from Henry Cavill, as she embarks on what is sure to be a key moment in her young career when people see her portrayal of ‘Supergirl’? Comment below. But first, check out Calle’s thoughts on a preview from The Flash.
