She's off GH and that's really the only take away for me!  

 

I don't watch YR and the only thing to get me back to that show is a Victoria Rowell return.  

Good [!@#$%^&*] riddance to that beast!  She's YR's problem now!

I wish I could be happier she's off GH but [!@#$%^&*] Frank just HAD to recast NinUGH.

 

I don't think I'll be watching much Y&R going forward. I'm barely interested now. With Chadam, Shadam, Shick ... no thanks.

 

At least it's Watros, I guess.

Well, this is sweet. Peter Bergman and others made speeches at Gina’s farewell party.

 

Someone on Twitter posted a small bit of Peter’s speech. Looks like almost the entire cast and crew were there - that’s a testament to who Gina is as both a person and a professional actress.

Gina just posted a few pics on her Instagram as well.

I know this is random and not about Gina, but I'll never understand what the show sees in Amelia Heinle, who's been Victoria for way too long. Sigh. I just don't get it. Victoria deserves to be played by an actor with life to them. Victoria as a character has truly suffered with Heinle in the role. After over a decade in the role, I shouldn't still be wanting Heather Tom back  Heinle would have been perfect for doormat Katie on B&B. They really should have switched roles, personally. I also bet she'd have been dumped on B&B while Tom remains employed on B&B. (But I can see why Gareis and Tom were cast as the Logan sisters, they do look somewhat similar to the original actresses)

 

It's an interesting contrast to Gina, who maybe to some was never Phyllis, but she sure gave it her all no matter what, and added different layers to Phyllis (I enjoyed her take, but it was a rough transition, IMHO and Tognoni played Phyllis like a super butch lesbian in the beginning)

Phyllis’s pairing had nothing to do with the actress switch. They wanted the original actress back regardless of who they were pairing her with. Stafford’s version of Phack was popular too and that’s what cemented Phyllis as a long term character on the show. The last time Griffith wrote for Stafford was the Phack reunion

 

I do wonder how much time we’ll have between Gina and Michelle. Will Phyllis be off for a month or so before being reintroduced and sent in a potentially different situation? Whatever it is, I don’t expect Stafford to have nearly the same influence on her stories as she tried to the last time she was on.

From what I have heard and per DC, it def played a part for Anjelica, Griffith (oh Phick writer), and Morina (whose wife created Phick)!

 

It is what it is, no Jack/Phyllis redux, deal with it!

 

And b4 anyone comes @ me with the bs, I am not the one who brought up pairings. 

Well, it’s all hearsay anyway. I don’t count on any Phyllis pairing being front burner story or longterm anyway. 

 

We’ll see how the storylines pan out longterm with Stafford back. Whatever it is, I am not betting on it being anything great with these writers...

LMAO "longterm" 😎

 

Tina's posting the pics from her farewell party, they look great!

Yes, it’s a soap where they have the time to tell long running stories, a concept Y&R and other soaps have not understood for years...

 

I guess the Phyllis/Billy story was sort of long running, but it was clear the show was never that interested and have now gone back to that terrible Billy/Victoria nonsense 

I sure will miss Gina.  When she came along and made the Phyllis character into a real person instead of an annoying, giggling, hip-swiveling, wind-up toy, I hoped I'd laid eyes on Stafford for the last time.  No such luck. 

The problem is rlj thinks everyone here is obsessed with the Jack/Phyllis/Nick/Sharon quad from years ago just like he or she is (or apparently, Nick and Phyllis with anyone but Sharon and Jack). As we've told you many, many times we don't care about that here. If you want to fight ancient couples stan wars Twitter's a different neighborhood from this site. That is not interesting for 95% of us.

She's been in this role nearly as long as Heather Tom. It's mindboggling.

Heather was Victoria from  December 12, 1990--February 21, 1997 & October 2, 1997-December 17, 2003 (12 years)

Amelia Henile March 21, 2005-Present  is over 14 years

That makes it SO MUCH WORSE @John!

I don’t see them ever firing Amelia Heinle, and if they did, I don’t see Heather Tom resuming the role. She seems happy at B&B. Does anyone know if B&B has a bigger budget than Y&R since it’s so popular internationally?
