Victoria’s Storyline Shifts After The Corriedale Crossover
Victoria’s exit begins with the fallout from the Corridale crossover. She had killed her serial killer brother, John. It happened when he was attempting to kidnap her.

He forced Victoria and Robert to sign over their share of the farm so she could avoid prison.
