'Young and the Restless' Casting Shakeup: Michelle Stafford IN as Phyllis, Gina Tognoni OUT


Emmy winner Michelle Stafford is returning to The Young and the Restless as Phyllis, replacing Emmy winner Gina Tognoni in the role. According to Daytime Confidential, Tognoni has been let go from Y&R after a five-year run.

Stafford will be leaving General Hospital and the role of Nina to reprise Phyllis, a character she played from 1994-1997, and then again from 2000-2013.

Tognoni posted a statement on Instagram: "Five years ago, I was blessed to embrace the incredible character of Phyllis Summers Abbott. I am beyond grateful for the creative experience that The Young and the Restless has given to me as well as the amazing relationships I made with the cast, crew/staff, producers, and writers. I love my Genoa City family, which made it easy to give 110% every day. My long commutes always went smoothly because I loved where I worked and the people I worked with!

'The Young and the Restless' Star Gina Tognoni Visits 'Soap Box' (Video)

Gina Tognoni
Emmy winning actress Gina Tognoni, who plays Phyllis Abbott on The Young and the Restless, was the guest on Thursday's episode of Soap Box with Lilly & Martha.

Hosts Martha Madison and Lilly Melgar asked Tognoni, who previously played Kelly Cramer on One Life to Live and Dinah Marler on Guiding Light, about playing strong characters.

"Dinah at Guiding Light had more of a tendency to be mean sometimes, so I liked getting in there and trying to make her stronger instead of mean," Tognoni explained.

Tognoni assumed the role of Phyllis on Y&R in August 2014, replacing Michelle Stafford.

"When Phyllis came into my life, it was just the right time," revealed Tognoni. "I felt like I get this. I love Phyllis. I love going to work every single day."

Tognoni was recently recognized as "Phyllis" by her doctor after a recent appointment.

"I have to tell you why we love soaps," the doctor explained to Tognoni. "It's because you do the things we wish we could do."
