(Quotes in bold are new.)

About David Vickers

(on David's reaction to learning he's a valuable liver match for Jessica) "I love David, but he's spineless and vain, so his first reaction isn't 'Jackpot!' It's more like, 'Oh, no! A really big knife and an even bigger scar!'" -- Ron Carlivati (OLTL headwriter), SOD 7/17/07

(on what male OLTL character she would want to play) "Oh, David Vickers, obviously! Tuc Watkins can do whatever he wants and it's funny. It's just an awesome role." -- Bree Williamson (Jessica), SOD 10/23/07

(on which male character she'd like Jessica to end up with) "David Vickers." -- Bree Williamson (Jessica), SID 4/7/08

(on why Natalie wants to keep David from finding out he's a Buchanan) "She knows that the company is vulnerable and that David is money-hungry and couldn't care less about the family or the business and could definitely jeopardize them fending off any more attacks on BE." -- Melissa Archer (Natalie), SOD 5/13/08

(on the possibility of David being Rex's dad) "But you know, David Vickers could really make sense, and I would be honored to be his son, because it would be great to be a mini-David Vickers!" -- John-Paul Lavoisier (Rex), SID 11/17/08

(on which role on OLTL she could never play) "David Vickers. Period. Do I need to explain why? Well, aside from the obvious reason, [portrayer] Tuc Watkins is just one of a kind." -- Farah Fath (Gigi), SOD 11/18/08

About David and Dorian

(on going through airport security) "I'll finally get my stuff cleared, my shoes are back on, Scooter is in her cage and I'm walking towards my gate when someone will shout, 'Why don't you marry David?'" -- Robin Strasser (Dorian), SID 5/10/05

"The fun of David and Dorian is the cat-and-mouse [game they play]. They love each other, but they don't totally trust each other. They never say what they mean, and they never mean what they say." -- Dena Higley (OLTL headwriter), SID 9/27/05

(on David and Dorian) "He and Dorian will reconnecte as co-conspirators and partners in machination, which is what they were always great at. I'm not saying that we're walking away from them forever as a romantic couple. But it's going to be a much longer arc. We'll still have all the fun of Dorian and David, but I have to honor how strong she is. Nobody would [leave her at the altar] the way he did without long-lasting repercussions. She's going to make him suffer for that!" -- Dena Higley (OLTL headwriter), SID 3/14/06

"I thought to myself the other day that in years to come -- I don't want to put a number on it -- but in years to come, Rex and Adriana could be the next little Dorian and David." -- John-Paul Lavoisier (Rex), SOD 12/19/06

(on Dorian cheating on Clint with David at the Buchanan ranch) "She's just a huge pool of emotion and she decides to dive in and have a nice swim. To have chosen that moment in Asa's house during a time of mourning, I mean, it's like not only self-sabotaging, it's a very dangerous thing to have done. But when did David and Dorian not find danger more exciting than normalcy?" -- Robin Strasser (Dorian), SOD 11/27/07

About David's Relationships With Others

"I think Paige and David are a team who ultimately could bring Spencer down. They've known each other for, like, 25 years and are the only people who know the whole truth about him." -- Alexandra Neil (Paige), SOD 3/28/06

(on David and Viki) "I'm not saying that it's romantic, but it is a kinship that gets under Dorian's skin... David's returns are always fun!" -- Dena Higley (OLTL headwriter), SID 6/5/07

(on Alex leaving David) "She tells David that she loves him and also that she lied about a bunch of stuff. She's never told anybody that she lied (before). She's never said the words. But they've developed a mutual admiration society." -- Tonja Walker (Alex), SOW 12/4/07
