Daytime legend Erika Slezak (Victoria "Viki" Lord, OLTL) is mourning the sudden death of her daughter Amanda Davies. On Slezak's official website, a message was posted that read, "It is with great sadness that I share the news of the passing of Erika's daughter Amanda Elizabeth Davies who died very suddenly. The family is heartbroken and would appreciate privacy at this time."
Davies, one of two children of Slezak and husband Brian Davies, was 42. A cause of death was not provided.
Fans of One Life to Live will recognize Amanda as the young woman who portrayed a teenage Viki in a series of flashback scenes in 2003. At the time, Viki had been dealing with repressed memories of shocking events during her teenage years that left Viki traumatized and resulted in an alter personality named "Niki Smith."
Davies is survived by her mother, father, and brother Michael, who is 43.
Sadly, this is the second death to hit OLTL in recent months. In December, Kamar de los Reyes, known for his role as Antonio Vega, passed away after a brief battle with cancer. He was 56.
