The details of the trail of keys, Viki's therapist being
Nora's sister in Switzerland, Todd as newspaper executive,
and the furnishings and jigsaw puzzle in the penthouse,
are accurate to the original story.
Remember, Todd had faked a split personality -- D.I.D.,
dissociative identity disorder -- which his sister Viki had
actually suffered from.
Pamela K. Long was the ingenious Head Writer at
the time of that brilliant storyline (1998).
Maddeningly, the ratings plummeted during the course
of it. I believe it may have been partly because of a
terrible mistake the writers made just preceding it: They
had Todd strike Tea! I think this may have led to what
Soap Opera Digest used to call "click" moments --
viewers clicking the TV off, and checking permanently
out of a soap.
