She's always a good interview. It's interesting that she rarely engages on social media but she seems very aware of what is being said.

She does the TW and doesn't engage much if at all. 

I thought it was nice that she made a point of mentioning that she misses BJ as a human being, even though she loves working with JT.

She seems like a very professional actress, that's a breath of fresh air these days in the soap world...

I love it, Tognoni has brought on a lot of depth and more cooler, collected Phyllis that had been needed for the character ever since Stafford had given up trying to be a supporting vixen and went to attempt and fail to be an irrational leading lady with tics and shouting included. 

Gina is a very thoughtful interview. Interesting when she brought up Amelia Heinle (who is a TERRIBLE non-actress) because I always thought GT would have made a great Victoria recast.

Love Gina! And I appreciate the Burgess mention. They worked well together. But I do think Jason Thompson has more chemistry with AH's Victoria.

I think the glasses suits Natalie better instead of "glamming her up". She does it much better than GH's Sabrina did, who just looked like a carbon copy of Theresa's terrible disguises on Passions.

That said, I think Phyllis is getting too obsessed. For many (wrong) reasons, I would love to see Michelle Stafford play this instead. What a trainwreck that would be!

GT is a class act. And obviously a team player as we had to suffer this StePhyllis - ugh - especially when those of us know what GT brings to the table. Y&R is being smart about Billis - make the audience want it.
