GT took the role and made it her own! Congrats. A truly Great Actor!!

Shes an amazing actress miss her on the show

[@kamhyde40]

She's my top favorite actress on YR! Congratulations. She gives Phyllis so much depth.

R.I.P. Kristoff St. John, who looked so supportive of Gina in this!

[@sarakennedy2633]

I know. I'm so sad. he was an amazing actor and everything I've heard is an even more amazing person.

[@-Lily7415]

She was a terrific Phyllis .. I have been watching “Phyllis “ since Michelle Stafford played her and hated when Michelle left the role ,but Gina filled her enormous shoes.Her portrayal of Phyllis was just as wonderful as Michelle’s Now that Michelle is coming back I hate to see Gina go. I hate that they fired her just to have Michelle again. The Emmy win should have been enough proof that they struck gold .Why replace someone who made the role there own.Unbelievable they fired her.Shame on you Y& R

[@erickanew]

Oh!!!, I see now Gina was fired not Michelle, didn't know

[@joycekelly1069]

Blondy I loved Gina. I wish she would come back. Get ride of Michelle. That was pretty crappy of YR

[@rosanneperkins9516]

aileen kelly Why would young and the restless get rid of her after she won a daytime emmy? just to bring back the other actors who used to portray Phyllis that makes no sense.

[@masteraustin6540]

Cuz Michelle made Phyllis who she is.if you have watched it as long as I have. Phyllis is my fav character. Gina did a great job of her too not taking that away from her. But Michelle is the Og

[@leonardonelson9852]

I like Gina but Michelle is so much better. Gina and Michelle both played very different versions of Phyllis and I prefer Michelle’s version.

[@sophiasweet7351]

Gina you’re the best🤗 You’re a great wonderful actress and you played this roll with your soul ❤️❤️❤️ We miss you ❤️

She (Gina) was great - truly. But you watch that Laura Wright/Carly scene and you go - THAT is the winning reel. They're all amazing but Laura was INCREDIBLE through the Morgan death story.

[@W81Researcher]

No one was giving Laura a second Emmy. She probably will only have that one Emmy.

[@JimmieJamOfTheDay]

Guiding Light actors/actresses and former Guiding Light actors/actresses are the best. If Young & The Restless lost Gina to Guiding Light, I'm fine with that. Gina did an outstanding job on Guiding Light.

[@davonchesmith9688]

She is such a bitch for taking the role back

[@JameseGray1991]

@@dstdivazz Gina loved the Philly pairing & supported it heavily. It was obvious that she enjoyed working with Jason Thompson & the writers took that away from her. I'm not thrilled at all. This woman won 3 Emmys for 3 different roles on 3 different soaps. Michelle left in '13 with no intention of coming back. Her stalwart fans wanted her back in the role & are trashing Gina for the way she portrayed the character. I like Michelle, but Gina made me like Phyllis.

[@andysahadeo4256]

Miss Gina as phyliss

[@nassauleaf]

I didn’t know she won this

[@hentlerob7565]

Wow i see Michelle Stafford few seconds ....two Phyllis Summers hehe !

[@laminage]

Gina I think is the only person who won A Daytime Emmy as a "Recast". Dinah #4 on Guiding Light & now Phyllis #3. She did much better than Shari Shattuck as Ashley #3 back in the day. Jess Walton went back on Recurring these past few years so for many not being there Full Time didn't warrant a nomination. Also Laura Wright should consider herself very lucky. To go from Two East Coast Soaps then playing Carly #3 is quite an achievement. Sadly in Britian they didn't have the British Soap Wards because of The Corona Virus.

[@Ellerich3]

I have to disagree on Jess Walton- that hospital scene-WHEW!! The first time I saw it, I knew that was Emmy Gold

[@jackiealbert8298]

IF only you guys knew Kristoff would no more with you all what would you say

Flash forward to 2024: Michelle Stafford wins her 2nd Lead Actress (third Emmy overall) for Phyllis Summers.

[@karenbougher1219]

[@W81Researcher]

Hopefully, Michelle Stafford is about to get another emmy.

[@pb4ugo19]

Gina Tognoni & Jason Thompson had amazing chemistry. I've not seen him match with anyone else aside from Kimberly Mccollough. Idk why they couldn't find a way to keep Gina. GH & Days have actors/actresses playing musical chairs with characters, so why can't y&r?

[@HR-rl4ke]

Unfortunately in daytime they think the louder u act makes u good.....ahhh just watch someone like Helen Gallagher or Victoria whyndom from Ryan's hope and another world perspectaly to see how it's done!!!

Exactly!! You could look at Heather Tom, her reels are ALWAYS competitive-
