[edit] Storylines

Viki first appeared as a new employee of Carla Connor at the Underworld factory. As she is a Polish immigrant, she was paid less than other employees, and they became concerned that their pay would be affected by this. She was bullied by Joanne Jackson and Kelly Crabtree, but Hayley Cropper secured her equal pay from Liam Connor, when the workers went on strike after Sean Tully was fired by his brother Paul.
