In answer to your OLTO questions (this might take a while, since it is kind
of complicated to explain):

1. Nicki had re-emerged for the first time in 10 years, due to stress about
Victor Lord's true nature (he had an affair with Tina's mother and fathered
Tina).  Vicki couldn't deal with such a horrible truth, so out popped Nicki
again (Nicki is Vicki's opposite--carefree, fun-loving, irresponsible--which
explains Rick James).  Nicki was in love with Harry O'Neil, past president
of Lord-Manning. Well, as the result of an elaborate plot by Tina and her
deranged lover, Mitch Laurence, Harry O'Neil was killed (the bullet was
meant for Clint).  The plot involved killing Clint so that Vicki would
never re-emerge (she wouldn't want to face life without Clint), and Tina
would then legally take control of Vicki's half of the estate--Tina had
found a letter from Victor establishing his fatherhood and giving Tina legal
right over Vicki's part of the estate, should Nicki ever re-emerge. Well, to
make a long story short, Vicki re-emerged when Harry died, and then Nicki
came back when hypnotized on the stand.  As the only witness to the fact
that Mitch killed Harry (and not Tina), Vicki felt obligated to go on the
stand to save her half-sister, even though Tina had caused so many problems.
Nicki felt trapped in the Buchanan household (Vicki remembers Nicki's exist-
ence, but Nicki has no memory of Vicki), so is now pretending to be Vicki so
that Clint doesn't have her committed again.  However, Nicki as Vicki isn't
the old Vicki that Clint loved.  She won't sleep with him, she acts out of
character, etc.  Tina knows what Nicki is up to and has agreed to help her
(Tina is one of Nicki's only friends).  Tina agreed to move back into the
mansion to keep an eye on Nicki's behavior and they have been going to bars
as Tiffany and Brenda.  In the mean time, Clint is feeling left out and
frustrated.  Tina has been making the moves on him and he has been responding
in a flirty way.  Vicki announced at an awards dinner that she is selling her
half of Lord-Manning; surprised by this sudden news, Clint goes home and
starts getting drunk; Tina follows him home and trys to seduce him.  He
resists, but passes out, and Tina climbs into bed with him.  Nicki/Vicki
comes home and sees Tina and Clint in bed and turns back into Vicki.  Vicki
runs down stairs to call Doctor Polk, freaking out that it's November...
when a kidnapper waltzes in to kidnap her, thus turning her back into
Nicki.  Nicki plots with the kidnapper to take Clint for a lot of money, and
sends said kidnapper out into the public to establish alibis.  While kidnapper
#1 is out, another kidnapper marches in to take Nicki/Vicki hostage again.
In the meantime, Clint wakes up and finds Vicki/Nicki's scarf outside the
bedroom door; Clint thinks that he and Tina fooled around, were discovered
by Vicki, and caused vicki to become Nicki again.  It is true that she is
Nicki, but Clint is not aware that she has been Nicki all along.  Tina took
off with Beau to find Nicki, and Tina is on the verge of telling Beau the
whole truth, because a bartender said to Tina (in Beau's presence), "Hey,
Tiffany, where's Brenda?"    Phew!

2. Delila gave birth to Sam and then went on a little European vacation,
where she took up designing (ugly) clothes.  She tried to re-kindle her
relationship with Beau, but they decided to be just friends. Now she's back
and is a self-confident, mature woman of the eighties.  I think she and Raef
will become an item, now that DeeDee and Beau are back together.

3. Becky left town with Billy Wild, Clover's brother, and little Drew. None
of them have been on the show since early summer, but they supposedly live
some where in Kentucky or someplace and Asa supposedly goes to visit Drew
about once a month.


Hope this helps catch you up.
