Clint and Viki remarry in 1986.

For many years, Viki has had an ongoing feud with fellow Llanview resident Dorian Cramer Lord. This stemmed from an incident in the 1970s when Dorian was fired from Llanview Hospital and had her medical license revoked as a result of a patient's death. Dorian, convinced that Victoria had voted for departure from the hospital, but, unbeknownst to Dorian, was for her staying, swore revenge against her. This long-standing conflict intensified when Dorian married Viki's father, Victor — hence the last name "Lord." Ever since, Viki and Dorian have endured Viki's multiple personalities, many injuries, being trapped together in an avalanche and much more. Further, their families have a long history of romantic entanglements, which inevitably serve to only inflame their rivalry.
