OLTL: Is Robin Strasser the weakest of all the actresses who played Dorian?

I barely remember Princi's Dorian so won't comment on that. Robin was never what I would call restrained in the role, but she really never immersed in the camp until they paired Dorian with David IMHO. Then Dorian became half of what was primarily a comedy duo.

Yes, it's the Madame DuPrix (Linda Patterson) role I'm referring to. Certainly the writing did her no favors, nor did being in a storyline with two very green young performers, but she played the part as a total cliche from day one. She brought no humanity to it at all.

I have a very vague memory of her as Kate Winograd, but not enough to form an impression.

I love RS so much. She is Dorian. There is no deny it, but I agree with the OP. MY personal favorite will always be Nancy Pinkerton. It's probably that way because of what the story was back then. Dorian, Mark and crazy jealous Melinda. That was high melodrama. Elaine Princi is a very close second. It's all because she seemed to take the role much more seriously than Strasser which made Dorian more human. I thought she and Ava Haddad had great chemistry as mother and daughter.
