Actor Amanda Davies, who played the teen version of her mother Erika Slezak’s character on “One Life To Live,” has died “suddenly” at age 42.

Davies appeared in flashback scenes as Viki for her soap opera legend mother Slezak, who won six daytime Emmys in the role.

“It is with great sadness that I share the news of the passing of Erika’s daughter Amanda Elizabeth Davies who died very suddenly,” a statement read on Slezak’s website, run by her fan club.

Entertainment Weekly confirmed the death Monday through a rep for Slezak but provided no details.

“The family is heartbroken and would appreciate privacy at this time,” the statement continued.

Davies played Viki in a series of flashbacks in 2002, according to IMDB.

Slezak, 77, played Victoria “Viki” Lord for more than 40 years until 2013.
