00:05 She was 42 years old.

00:08 Amanda's mom's official fan club website shared the news of her death in a statement, writing,

00:12 "It is with great sadness that I share the news of the passing of Erika's daughter, Amanda

00:17 Elizabeth Davies, who died very suddenly.

00:20 The family is heartbroken and would appreciate privacy at this time."

00:24 No other details surrounding Amanda's death have been revealed.

00:28 You know what, this is going to be a little harder than I thought.

00:31 Except I got a lot of time because little Miss Vicky is not going to be busting out

00:37 any time soon because little Miss Vicky can't face the big bad secret.

00:46 It's a job.

00:47 It's a wonderful job.

00:48 I don't ever take it home with me.

00:50 Ever ever ever.

00:51 I've got a much more interesting life at home, thank goodness.

00:53 Erika, who played Victoria, Vicky, Lord, on One Life to Live for over 40 years, turned

00:58 her job into a family affair in 2002, as Amanda joined the soap to play a younger version

01:04 of her character in flashback scenes.

01:06 I have an awful lot invested in this show, in the character, certainly in my character

01:11 of Victoria.

01:12 And I know her very well and I like her.

01:15 And this show has been like a family, a second family to me for a long, long time.

01:20 I probably spend more time here than I do at home.

01:23 Erika's won six Daytime Emmy Awards, playing Victoria.

01:26 Her daughter Amanda was by her side when she took home a trophy in 1995.

01:31 My family.

01:32 My wonderful family.

01:34 Thank you, Brian, Michael and Amanda.

01:35 Thank you so much.
