What if Daytime Emmy winner, Robin Strasser, could return for a run on a daytime soap opera? Would you like to see her go Beyond the Gates for a role on the new CBS daytime drama series? Well, according to Strasser herself she would love the opportunity.
Strasser who played Dorian Lord on One Life to Live on and off from 1979-1987, 1993-2000, 2003-2011 and again in the reboot of the series in 2013 and was last seen as Vivian Alamain on Days of our Lives in 2019, took to X when a fan asked her thoughts on joining the cast of General Hospital. Previously, Strasser worked with executive producer, Frank Valentini, when he was at OLTL
The comment expressed to Strasser, and also to Valentini said, “You need to be on ‘General’ as a long lost Cassadine- perhaps connected to Sidwell – and who is nursing Spencer back to health because you are a doctor! How is that for a storyline, Frank Valentini?”
Once Strasser put that into the social media space, many of her followers replied with resounding excitement that they would love to see her on the new CBS soap opera. If Strasser were to visit Fairmont Crest, it would also reunite her with many behind the scenes she has worked with in the past including breakdown writer, Ron Carlivati, who was the head writer for her last major run as Llanview’s Dorian.
Not only has Robin appeared on One Life to Live and Days of our Lives throughout her daytime career, but she is also noteworthy from her times as Rachel Davis on Another World, Hecuba on Passions, Christina Karras on All My Children, and let’s not forget her time on CBS’ Knots Landing as Diane Kirkwood.
While Beyond the Gates features a predominantly all-Black cast, the series also has enduring soap favorites: Jon Lindstrom and Cady McClain in recurring roles as Joey Armstrong and Pamela Curtis.
