Members SFK Posted October 26, 2011 Members Share Posted October 26, 2011 He sure does. But it's true, Dorian has been a shell of her former dynamic self for YEARS now. The Dorian I adore (aDorian? *sad trumpet*) lives on YouTube circa 1993/4. She can always come back if they want her to, and frankly, I think we need to prepare ourselves for the increasingly diminished capacity even Viki will most likely function in. Keeping Andrea would really sweeten the pot for me though. Man cannot live on Jess and Ford alone, help me God, and the current Stacy/Rex/Cutter/Kim/Aubrey stuff will be wrapping up and many of the players involved are wrapping up their stints with it, so I'm really wondering what kind of cast changes we'll see.

Members DRW50 Posted October 26, 2011 Members Share Posted October 26, 2011 I haven't really recognized Viki in a number of years, although I am hoping PP will be a new lease on life for her. OLTL for so long has thrived with flashy, larger-than-life, but still relateable, female characters. Even when Rauch ran OLTL, women were in commanding roles. That's what the show needs. And I don't mean these Kardashian knockoffs or these hollow camp figures. Unfortunately the only younger woman who may fit that bill is Natalie.

Members marceline Posted October 26, 2011 Members Share Posted October 26, 2011 I wouldn't be surprised if Viki spends most of her time on the backburner and basically becomes OLTL's version of AMC's Opal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted October 26, 2011 Members Share Posted October 26, 2011 RS seems to be one actress who doesn't particularly care for Frank V either--didn't she partially blame him for cutting story? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted October 26, 2011 Members Share Posted October 26, 2011 Well to be fair, didn't she always claim that she left for health reasons (and it does sound like there was something there, but I don't see it as the main reason)? And she did tweet (or am I making this up?) that she was interested in the online venture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted October 26, 2011 Members Share Posted October 26, 2011 RS has always publicly praised FV, even if he's undoubtedly played a hand in the direction of Dorian. She may not have always been happy with what she was given, but I've always gotten the impression that she was genuinely thankful just to be working. And where some folks her age might be comfortable having a less rigorous schedule, she was always talking about how she wanted to work more more more, for artistic and financial reasons.

Members SFK Posted October 26, 2011 Members Share Posted October 26, 2011 That's the thing, we can either accept the story that we were given or we can make things more complicated by assuming what may have actually went down. It was presented that she merely had to leave early because of her back, not that she was cut. To me, that left room for a return with PP. Frankly, there is still room for a return even if she hasn't gotten an offer. This is still a soap. And Robin has left and come back and left and come back before. She may not be back for anything longer than a big event or a short arc, but she will certainly be back at some point. Even if it's for the second cancellation.

Members John Posted October 27, 2011 Members Share Posted October 27, 2011 From RS' Twitter On Oct 6 2011 Whether Prospect Park calls me or not-I'll be rooting for OLTL/AMC catching on in this NEW form. Hundreds of jobs lost could be re-gained Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alexisfan07 Posted October 27, 2011 Author Members Share Posted October 27, 2011 Aww Robin. Love her. She's too good for this show anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted October 27, 2011 Members Share Posted October 27, 2011 I hope Robin can find a recurring primetime gig out in L.A. like her Dianne Kirkwood on Knots. Even Dianne was closer to the Dorian I loved than a lot of the foolishness they gave her to play in recent years. Dorian became too silly for me, and I'd like to RS get some more chances in primetime to play her perfect recipe of strength and neuroses. L.A. was pretty darn good to her compared to a lot of soap stars who've tried their hands. I still have got to see her as the ho in jail on 2000 Malibu Road.

Members DaytimeFan Posted October 27, 2011 Members Share Posted October 27, 2011 I think she actually has a shot in LA in primetime guest work. Her resume is varied, many hit shows in there over the decades and she's worked for Chuck Lorre a few times. She needs to get her face out there, an appearance on Good Day LA and if she could land Chelsea Lately she'd be golden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toups Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I think she's friends with Lisa De Cazotte - worked together at OLTL and Passions (I think Lisa specifically chose Robin for the role of Hecuba). She could play Daniel's mother maybe? Madison's mother? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted October 27, 2011 Members Share Posted October 27, 2011 Robyn would be about as frustrated at DAYS as Louise Sorel...besides, she's not part of a SuperCouple, so her story would be minimal, at best. I hope she just enjoys life, enjoys the sun, takes care of herself and dabbles in whatever she likes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Becki Posted October 30, 2011 Members Share Posted October 30, 2011 Well, since she's gonna be in LA can we at least get her a guest spot on Castle? Pretty please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted October 30, 2011 Members Share Posted October 30, 2011 What about RS pon Y&R As Phyllis & Avery's Mom. I believe Abby Dalton played her before. Her Name Is Lydia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
