The Young And The Restless Star Eric Braeden Weighs In On The Great Phyllis Switch

Eric Braeden has once again taken to social media to make his point clear. This time, The Young and the Restless star has a message for a returning co-star and he’s setting the record straight!

Recently, Braeden tweeted out support to existing cast member Gina Tognoni, who just wrapped her run as Phyllis on YR. This caused some fans to question where the actor’s “loyalties” were.

But, Braeden tweeted his feelings on Tognoni and Michelle Stafford. “I have nothing but the greatest respect for GINA TOGNONI,” the Emmy-winning actor tweeted. “She’s a consummate professional!” He added that her exit is a stark reminder of how fleeting show business can be.

The YR vet wrote in another post that he couldn’t be happier that Stafford is coming back as Phyllis. “I’m very glad she’s back where she belongs &look forward to working with her!”

Check out Braeden’s tweets below. He looks forward to the new, old Phyllis and so do we. Just like we’ll miss everything Gina Tognoni brought to this iconic soap role for the last five years.
