Gina Tognoni Interview - Y&R 45th Anniversary Celebration

Y&R's Gina Tognoni (Phyllis) chats with Michael Fairman at Y&R's 45th anniversary celebration on set at CBS. Gina discusses Phyllis's steamy relationship with Billy (Jason Thompson), how her character gets involved with Victoria's domestic abuse storyline, and how she will take this year''s Daytime Emmy-nominated Lead Actresses to lunch as part of the tradition that last year's winner's always does.

Gina T is a great actress and also she is one of the most prettiest women in the world.

I WISH SHE WOULD COMEBACK ON THE SHOW AS PHILLES SISTER I SURE MISS HER

[@scoma60]

I've loved Gina from the first time I saw her on OLTL. I friggin' ADORED her on GL and I couldn't be happier that she's now on YR. She is so supremely talented it's insane. I love her chemistry with Jason Thompson & truly hope YR gives them a story worthy of their talents. They've languished without a story for far too long.

scoma60 I so agree! Love Jason and Gina’s chemistry! She is my favorite character/actress. Also, been waiting for a storyline for them.

She's so miscast as Phyllis: they should have made her a Tricia Dennison recast.

She basically played a totally different character to the Phyllis I remember, who was loopy and vampy. And she's too young to play the role.
