Robin Sounds Off

Robin Strasser is a brassy broad, one who doesn't let anyone silence her. It's one of the reasons I have admired her all these years. Now the diva is letting rip with the reason her exit is coming early and more in an interview with TV Guides Michael Logan!! According to Robin it was One Life To Live's decision to have her leave early, though she does say that she needed some medical time off "I went prepared to a meeting with [OLTL exec producer] Frank Valentini and took notes. I gave him August 19 as the likely last tape date for me before departing for what I expected to be at least eight weeks for surgery and recuperation." She continues to say that when she talked to Frank, she was well prepared  "I don't go to the well without being respectful of Frank's time so we were talking in shorthand and lo and behold he told me I'd be out by July 1. I said, "That soon? You don't even want to say August 1?" "No," he said. "July 1." This was prior to the announcement that there were a number of other actors also being written out on July 1. He put me into the exiting herd, and that is the situation to the best of my recollection and according to the notes I made at the time. I went in to talk about working through the end of August."
