Vicky Hudson is a fictional character that appeared on the NBC daytime soap opera Another World and the CBS daytime soap opera As the World Turns. The character was killed in a plane crash in November 1999, but remained as a ghost through 2001.
Victoria "Vicky" Carson and her twin sister, Marley, were born to teenagers Michael Hudson (Kale Browne) and Donna Love (Anna Stuart). Michael never knew Donna was pregnant and Donna was unaware she had given birth to twins. Marley was raised as Donna's sister and enjoyed all the privileges of coming from a wealthy family. Vicky was stolen by her grandfather, Reginald Love, and given up for adoption. She was adopted by Phillip and Grace Carson and grew up poor in Lassiter, Pennsylvania. She was raised by Bridget Connell (Barbara Berjer) after her parents' death.
Vicky arrived in Bay City to swindle Marley out of her inheritance. She was joined by her partner-in-crime Jake McKinnon (Tom Eplin), who was her childhood best friend and sometimes lover. The plan was for Jake to pretend to fall in love with Marley. She was furious when Jake actually fell in love with Marley, especially since she had always had feelings for Jake. Despite the wedge between them, Vicky saved leukemia-stricken Marley's life when she donated her bone marrow to her. She came around eventually and formed close bonds with Marley and the rest of her biological family. She reluctantly gave her blessing to Jake and Marley's marriage.
Vicky got into a car accident and was in a coma for a few months. Jamie Frame (Laurence Lau) was Vicky's doctor during her coma and helped to bring Vicky back to life. Vicky started to fall for Jamie but he didn't return her feelings because he was in love with Lisa Grady (Joanna Going), niece of Felicia Gallant (Linda Dano). Both Lisa and Jamie regarded Vicky as their friend, but that did not matter to Vicky who was determined to have Jamie for herself. After trying for months to put a wedge between them, Vicky finally got her way when she and Jamie made love. She also slept with Jake, who was separated from Marley, around that time. Vicky found out she was pregnant and was unsure of who the father was. Vicky told Jamie the baby was his, causing his and Lisa's relationship to deteriorate. Jamie and Vicky married and welcomed a son, Steven Michael Frame. After Jamie grew suspicious, Vicky confessed that Jake might be Steven's father, but then lied that he had raped her. Jamie attacked Jake who revealed that the sex was consensual. A DNA test was done to determine Steven's paternity. Jake and Marley had reconciled and decided they would sue for full custody of Steven if Jake turned out to be his father. Vicky was infuriated and made it clear that her sister and best friend were now dead to her. The DNA test proved Jamie was Steven's father, but the damage was done. Both Hudson sisters saw their marriages end.
