  1. Vivian Buries Carly Alive (1993)

Vivian Alamain (Louise Sorel) hated Carly Manning (Crystal Chappell) with a burning passion because she wanted to keep Carly’s son, Nicholas.

Vivian eventually confessed to her nephew, Lawrence (Michael Sabatino), and Carly was rescued just as she was running out of air.
