If it's true, it's very, very sad and they need to pre-tape scenes for her in the final episodes.

If it's a cover story, I suspect it is ABC or Disney coming down on them; it wouldn't be anyone from inside OLTL as Strasser's fire re: the cancellation has always been aimed at the network and the parent company. It's still very sad, but in any event it can't be helped. Unlike when JFP drove her out.

RS has Said On Her Hotline she needs back surgery this is serious. Its Not spin

I sure as hell hope they pre-tape scenes for her.

Well. This blows!

But, poor Robin if she does need back surgery. That's terrible.

Well that blows. OLTL ending without Dorian seems unthinkable, though a lot of what this show's done in the last couple years has been unthinkable so nothing really shocks me. Viki will of course close out this show, but it would've been nice for it to be alongside Dorian as well. *sigh*.

I hope Dorian can be in the final scenes, but to help fill the gaps, this should be a cue for ABC to try to get back Tina, or Jenny, or Karen, or Larry. Anything to remind people OLTL had a history. Viki shouldn't just have to wring her hands.

I don't want to hold out any hope for them coming back. I'd get my hopes up. Never mind the fact it's been so long since they've been gone, whereas AMC's returns are all characters that were at least on screen last within the last decade. OLTL's seen such a fundamental change in its overall character as a show since Jenny and Karen were regulars that I don't think they'd even consider it now, unfortunately.

I think Brynn and Judith would consider it. I doubt they will be asked, but I would like to believe the finale is not going to be Viki, her Asa/Alan Spuaulding hybrid ex husband, her dumb children, and her rapist brothers, along with Fords and the moper McBain.

That's too bad, Dorian is the second pillar of the show.

ITA. *sigh*

I pray she gets better soon.

Terrible, terrible, terrible news. I'd pretty much given up soaps after AW was canceled, but I saw a promo a few years back of Dorian taking over Buchanan Enterprises and, loving Robin Strasser, I decided to tune in. There was enough Robin Strasser and Erika Slesak to make me happy, so I've been watching ever since. I can't imagine the end without Robin. It's more important that she takes care of her health, of course, but what a blow to the show.

HONORABLE DISCHARGE JUST SIGNED AND FAXED. Mutually agreed to, I will tape my last show July 1. I look forward to my life AFTER One Life.

She will probably last air in August or September, and leave with David. UGH.

I hope they will at least bring Cassie and Addie back one last time to say goodbye. I would also like to see Herb but I don't know if anyone at the show now even remembers him.

I don't think we'll see any of Dorian's Cramer women interact with her again

Hopefully they can pretape a scene with her and Erika for the final episode.
