Days of Our Lives Comings And Goings: DOOL Books Soap Vet Robin Strasser For A Role

Soap vet Robin Strasser has confirmed that she is joining “Days of Our Lives.” On Twitter, she posted a link to an article in 2017 when it was rumored that she has been cast on Days but it did not materialize.

“NOVEMBER 12, 2017 Nixed rumor I’d b joining DAYS-cut to FEB 2019 THEY called-I JUMPED -You can’t SAY #SupportThe4 & NOT let them in when they KNOCK on your door- #DOOL yes;-)
,” Strasser wrote.

It is not yet confirmed what role Strasser will be playing, but she could be a recast of Louise Sorel as Vivian Alamain. The 2017 rumor turned out that her friend Sorel was returning to Days. In addition, she posted a clue earlier this month about why she is “taking time out for a good reason.”
