She's taking time off for back surgery, her character is beingsent to London. I'm assuming for a few weeks or so.

Or, darn!back Surgery - depending on the type - can be an 8-10 week ordeal.Speedy Recovery, Ms. Slezak!

After thinking about it, they should have done a temporary recast.The story is too important to have Vicki in London. Mitch has Jessica....Vicki would NEVER leave for any reason.

They have in the past but think they woman that replaced her played another character and that character got killed off so might confuse the audience. She played Pamela I think. Maybe they will have Mitch holding her captive or something like that.

By the time that Viki goes to London, Jessica is rescued. I think it will be one of two things that take her to London, either she goes to find a doctor for Jessica or she has to have time away from Charlie. I'd much rather it be the first.

Her kids are darn near 30...LOLWhatever it is will be too contrived, at least for me. Unless they shot a few scenes ahead to soften the blow.
