How brilliant was Gina Tognoni yesterday on GL?

[JONNYSBRO]

Her scenes yesterday gave me chills and mesmerized me. The girl is so talented it is not even funny. In fact I put her in same category as a Cynthia Watros or Sarah Brown. Gina will be nominated or another emmy next year. The girl comes to the screen with her A game and whips the floor with it. I liked Wendy Moniz years ago but IMO nobody can play Dinah like Gina. She has all this range of emotions. I loved her scenes with Matt. The thing is Gina delivers this great performance all the time. What do you think of Gina yesterday? How hard would it be to re-cast Gina in the role of Dinah if she left? I just think she is not only one of GL's best but one of the best in daytime.

I FLOVE Gina! She was truly meant to play the role of Dinah. I watched her on OLTL too, but she never seemed that appealing as Kelly, though I certainly prefer her Kelly over Heather's.

Gina's a true find as Dinah, it's one of the smartest decisions Barbara Bloom has ever made. Gina looks so content in this character and you can tell she's just eating up the material she's given, despite lackluster writing. I wouldn't be surprised if she wins her second Emmy come next year.

I also agree there Jonny, Gina has that saw raw talent that was exhibited by Watros and Brown years ago. Y&R was stupid to pass on her for the role of Victoria and GH was stupid to pass on her for the role of Carly.

I could watch Dinah all day. She's more Dinahesque than Wendi Moniz ever was. Though there times on OLTL that the seeds were there. Anyone remember when Kelly accidently ran Blair and Patrick off the road and killed their unborn baby. Gina and Kassie D were so great in those scenes.

I so agree with you all. I am so glad that Gina stayed with GL. A true talent and she was phenominal yesterday.
