Members AllAboutAngst Posted January 2, 2009 Author Members Share Posted January 2, 2009 I didn't think she was hinting at a return to OLTL. She always says nice things about the show and has always been a big fan of Susan Haskell in particular. She says this anytime anyone asks her about leaving though I believe in what we do here. It’s a beautiful role, but at a certain time you have to ask yourself, “Is this where I stop? Or, is this where I keep going?” I think it’s healthy to check in I would be very very surprised if she ended up on ABC actually, even if she chose to leave GL, I think CBS would make considerable efforts to keep her on the network. Besides the last time her contract was up she said there was talk between her and ABC about GH but she decided to stay at CBS (which IMO says a lot because I'm sure GH was offering her a lot more money than GL is currently paying her).

Members Cheap21 Posted January 2, 2009 Members Share Posted January 2, 2009 she needs to leave and come back to OLTL as Kelly. GL is a sinking ship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted January 2, 2009 Members Share Posted January 2, 2009 She'd be great as Kelly once again, but All My Children needs her more. Tognoni would have been the perfect candidate to fill Budig's void. She could play Greenlee, she'd fit that role, but let's not go there ... create a new character for her, with shades of Greenlee, but with other qualities that highlight Tognoni's strengths. Honestly, my first thought was that perhaps she should have been this doctor that the lady from Passions is playing, complete with icy/bitchy/conniving undertones a la Dr. Dorian Lord. At any rate, I wouldn't want to watch Tognoni's character with Ryan, so I guess to hell with the whole idea. The thing with Tognoni is that she's so *big* onscreen, her energy takes up a lot of space and I wonder if there's room for her on shows like Y&R and OLTL. I imagine Haskell, Williamson, AND Tognoni, and it's like, oy, is there room for all that intense female neuroses? And my spidey sense is telling me that Williamson would not be too thrilled about sharing that sweet spot she occupies on the show with Emmy darling Tognoni. BTW, remember when Kelly was like Jess' big sister, all those crazy clothes!? As for Y&R, I think they'd look at Tognoni and wonder how to justify ($) bringing her energy (which lives somewhere between Victoria and Phyllis) onto the show. B&B on the other hand could use at least one good actor addition. Hey, as long as she doesn't end up playing Carly #17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dr. Jay S.W. Posted January 2, 2009 Members Share Posted January 2, 2009 All My Children has Tamara Braun. Send Gina back home to OLTL!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted January 2, 2009 Members Share Posted January 2, 2009 I really dont think AMC needs GT. The show has soo many women already in her age group. OLTL is lacking in the 30s crowd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AllAboutAngst Posted January 2, 2009 Author Members Share Posted January 2, 2009 If she were to leave GL, and I don't think her contract is up until this summer, I could see her on B&B or ATWT. I wouldn't be surprised at all if it were ATWT actually. I think all of this is moot until we see how GL performs once Grant Aleksander returns.

Members Vee Posted January 2, 2009 Members Share Posted January 2, 2009 I think Dinah has been the role of GT's career, and I certainly love her in it much more than I did her last few years as Kelly. Heather Tom is Kelly now, "my" Kelly anyway. I'd take Gina back (I'd rather have HT) but not without Dan Gauthier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rangethatrover Posted January 2, 2009 Members Share Posted January 2, 2009 Dan Gauthier. Example of Fron's stupidity at its finest. I don't think Heather Tom will ever work for ABC again. (Her choice) Not only that, B&B and Y&R treat their actors VERY well. OLTL probably seemed like Siberia to her. I like her very much. I only saw her work every now and again at that point. She will always be Victoria to me. I think heather will eventually return to Y&R someday.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted January 2, 2009 Members Share Posted January 2, 2009 Ugh, I hate the Kelly character, Gina didn't find her groove as an actress until she starter playing Dinah IMO. While GL is crap and has ruined her character like every other character, I still think Kelly has always been pretty useless and very annoying on OLTL.

Members AllAboutAngst Posted January 2, 2009 Author Members Share Posted January 2, 2009 I too have always disliked Kelly, but I don't think Dinah on GL has been ruined. I think she continues to be one of very few bright spots on GL. If Gina decides to leave GL, the last place I want her is anywhere on or near ABC though.

Members dragonflies Posted January 2, 2009 Members Share Posted January 2, 2009 Loved her as Kelly, I don't want her on OLTL though AMC got the short end of the deal, I'd take Gina over TB any day of the week! Ugh, please don't stick her with that kind of role. Greenlee isn't needed, and what actor would be stupid enough to want to be recast in that role after how Sabine was treated?

Members Queen Posted January 3, 2009 Members Share Posted January 3, 2009 I'd love to see Tognoni on OLTL or Y&R. Tognoni and Joshua Morrow could have some amazing chemistry and I think she'd be the perfect chick to take Phyllis down a peg or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rhinohide Posted January 3, 2009 Members Share Posted January 3, 2009 I hated Kelly, but I loved Gina T. And I loved Wendy Moniz as Dinah and never believed anyone else could own the role. But GT did it. I would love to have her back at OLTL, but not as Kelly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted January 3, 2009 Members Share Posted January 3, 2009 I hated Kelly and couldnt stand Gina T in the role towards the end of her stint. The relationship with Kevin was horrible and her treatment of Sophia had her on my sh-t list. But Ive grown to really like Gina as an actress after she started playing Dinah, so I think I might be able to get into her Kelly now. Its a shame GH is such a mess and Im no longer watching, bc she would have made a much better Carly than Laura Wright Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
