Young And The Restless Spoilers – Three-Time Daytime Emmy Award Winner

Tognoni’s 2017 Daytime Emmy award for her work on Y&R was not her first such honor. It was her third, with the first two earned (2006, 2008) for her portrayal of Dinah Marler on Guiding Light, where she was part of the cast from 2003-2009.

The actor’s first break came in 2002, when she appeared in the film Pride and Loyalty. Tognoni was in other movies during her career and appeared in various television series including The Wonderful World of Disney and The Sopranos.

She also was part of the casts of the internet based soap opera, Venice The Series (2009-2010), as Sami Nelson, which is partially based on a GL storyline, and One Life to Live (1995-2002, 2010-2011), as Kelly Cramer.

Young And The Restless Spoilers – Alternative Phyllis Summers

Tognoni was provided with scripts during her run on Y&R that took this character in a different direction than had previously been seen. Her Phyllis was more vulnerable and was injected with Tognoni’s wonderful comedic sense.

Michelle Stafford (Phyllis), another Daytime Emmy-winning actor, who played the original Phyllis and has since returned to reprise her role, projected a starker edition of the character and also interpreted her differently. Her version of Phyllis is iconic and stands on its own.

One of the many great aspects of this entertainment genre allows soap operas to last for many decades, which allows more than one actor to fill a role over time. As a result, fans were able to enjoy Tognoni’s consistently terrific performances during the period when her rendition of Red was seen.
