He was always a great villain on oltl but i fell in love with roscoe born on santa barbara when he was robert barr- that storyline with eden was so hauntingly beautiful he made me want cruz and eden to break up- he just had a brooding haunting quality that good guy cruz was missing
I remember when Mitch Laurence was causing havoc in Llanview with his tea cult in 1986 for the O’Neils and Cassey. I never watched this before, it’s great to see this storyline relived a decade and a half later.
Usually, some soap villains have some reason behind their despicable actions. I feel Mitch had none and was just pure evil. He lied, cheated, stole, raped, and killed to get what he wanted.
Hush your mouth!!! Mitch is back in 2009???? When I read this I almost fell out of my seat LOL Thank you for sharing this!! Have u seen the earlier posts with Mitch from 1985-86???
Having Tina around was a hoot, I just wish she had had more scenes. I welcome Mitch's return. From the scenes I've watched on here so far, I KNOW we're in for some great stories. I used to watch this as a kid, but wasn't a die-hard fan. All that changed on Feb 14, 2007, been watching it religiously ever since. WOW, I wish I'd started watching these much sooner. Todd seems to be the villain of the moment. But from what I've seen of Mitch, he'll make Todd look harmless.
@@renealexander2703 May be but Mitch kidnapped todd and burried him in victor's grave. he was also one of the reason todd was missing for 8 long years.
@@renealexander2703 Mitch is such a powerful character ,the writers has to sacrifice Mitch himself to keep him away from Llanview bcoz he changes destiny of many people.
I know...it was always VERY far fetched. I always just assumed (so that it made sense to me) that they did a blood typing test or something because they did have those back then...and if Jessica and Natalie had a certain type of blood (each different) then it might make it possible to tell that one of them was probably Clint's and definately not Mitch's and one of them was probably Mitch's and definately not Clint's...Wow...I've really thought about this too much...
Mitch all the way!! Though the story is a bit far-fetched, you just can't help but go along for the ride. When you have such unbelievably strong actors as Erika and Roscoe, the story is so much easier to sell. Actors not up to their level could not have pulled it off. I wish they would bring Mitch back right along with Tina!!! That would be oh, so wonderful!
Poor Vicki! She was traumatized so many times! But she was a very strong woman and was able to overcome the terrible things done to her. Erica Slezak is an excellent actress.
I remember this scene to this day. I remember watching this in my dorm room. I loved every minute of it. Wonderful writing and acting. "My bounty had been doubled." Dear goodness. This is lulz.
When "Mitch," asks "Viki" if she'd like some _iced tea_ the clip of "Allison" bringing it to her is from the 80s (I know because I watched it when it aired and I knew that the tea was drugged, so I was worried that "Viki" was going to miscarry... So was she when she felt the drugs starting to kick in...). The clips that show "Mitch" and "Viki" (but don't show their faces) in _Llanfair_ are likely recreations made for this storyline.
@@bigal650 no Viki was Niki when she was drugged by him, there’s an episode because he forced her to call Clint. He showed up with a gun and everything.
@@ladysasha90 Nope, that was before Mitch killed harry o neil. Viki was pregnant after Mitch went to prison. Mitch wanted to kill Clint that's why he drugged Viki. Viki was pregnant before Mitch became a cult leader (messenger) (They rewrote the story of Mitch and Viki)
@@vasiparvin5113 th-cam.com/video/Y9_vCTfOBX8/w-d-xo.html. This is 1985 Mitch drugged Viki. Of course I get that it was a rewrite but he had drugged Viki/Niki before in 1985!
Too bad the OLTL writing today isn't this good, this suspenseful and exciting as it was in 2002. Yeah, they rewrote their own history, but certain liberties are taken in drama to make an interesting story. It's wonderful and actually makes progress, rather than drag out the same day for weeks, as is the current trend in soaps.
Did you really just compare Mitch Laurence to a unicorn, even in a remote way? You ought to be forever banned from watching One Life to Live through any sort of medium.
I hear he's the father of a certain hottie who still knows not his Sire...though he thought he had thought that he did at some point in the show. (I won't say who said hottie is, though.) ;)

Can't believe this didn't rip Vicki a new personality...
Stefano DiMera: “I’m the evil one”
Mitch Lawrence: “hold my beer”
Mitch was the best villain ever..Stefano couldn't touch Mitch
I loved the the look them Mitch's face when he found out he wasn't Jessica's father
Yup same here
When did that happen?
@@baconbapthe end of the show when the writers retconned the retcon.

He was always a great villain on oltl but i fell in love with roscoe born on santa barbara when he was robert barr- that storyline with eden was so hauntingly beautiful he made me want cruz and eden to break up- he just had a brooding haunting quality that good guy cruz was missing
I got one better as Joe Novak on RH he was conflicted
Mitch was my favorite. The only time he ever showed decency was with Jess. Thanks for posting. :)
Nope. He tried to rape jessica.
Nope, he tried to rape jess..
thankyou very much for posting this
He is the best soap villain ever because of it.
I really wish that Roscoe Born were coming back to portray him.

Mitch was such a great S.O.B. Thanks for posting!
Mitch Laurence has got to be the creepiest, sickest soap villain ever..... he gives me the creeps....
I loved Mitch character..he walks around quoting an twisting scriptures of the bible, an have a smug ass attitude..

to this day no one can hold a candle to Mitch expect for Stefano, Vicki father
Her father's name was Victor
Sheila Carter would like a word
Thanks!!! loved this scene
Same

This was my favorite soap!!! I'm 60 now, re-watch this,and understand now ,why my dad laughed at the soaps
I remember this scene to this day. I remember watching this in my dorm room. I loved every minute of it. Wonderful writing and acting.
"My bounty had been doubled." Dear goodness. This is lulz.
Actually, according to this, Viki was given THREE cups/glasses of "tea." Two times which originally aired in real time, both by Allison Perkins.
stupid question, but I've wondered for years, are those real old clips from back in the day, or did they just shoot it and make it look old?
Nah this old clip is real, from the original broadcast in 2002
When "Mitch," asks "Viki" if she'd like some _iced tea_ the clip of "Allison" bringing it to her is from the 80s (I know because I watched it when it aired and I knew that the tea was drugged, so I was worried that "Viki" was going to miscarry...

themirrorsofmymind thank you!!!! Also it’s so funny I’m watching OLTL again so I didn’t even realize I asked this ten years ago!!!
Such a good use of history. Viki was Niki when Mitch drugged her back in the 80s.
Actually she wasn’t
She got pregnant after she defeated Niki and Mitch was still in prison until she was halfway through her pregnancy
@@bigal650 no Viki was Niki when she was drugged by him, there’s an episode because he forced her to call Clint. He showed up with a gun and everything.

Was the ice tea clip included in the original scene?
The ice tea Allison bringing to Viki is original. The other scene is recreated.

@@justinjohnson_2002 Mitch raping Viki is rewritten story.. Originally he never raped her.
Sanctimonious Vicki. So entitled to a maid bringing her tea.
He has the audacity to say that they did it together when he basically raped Vicky after having her drugged
I hear he's the father of a certain hottie who still knows not his Sire...though he thought he had thought that he did at some point in the show. (I won't say who said hottie is, though.) ;)
If roscoe was alive, i would like joe Novak goes up against sonny from gh! Rest in peace, roscoe.
Nice movie
So sad he took his life
