General Hospital
Michelle Stafford Talks Recalls Decision to Go to ‘General Hospital’ and Return to ‘The Young and the Restless’
Three-time Daytime Emmy-winner Michelle Stafford (Phyllis Summers, The Young and the Restless), joined hosts Rebecca Budig (Taylor, The Bold and the Beautiful) and Greg Rikaart (Leo, Days of our Lives) during their latest episode of their Soapy podcast.
Throughout the conversation, Michelle touches upon the early years of her career from modeling to acting, plus balancing motherhood, her skin care line, Skin Nation, her time on the series Pacific Palisades with pal, Finola Hughes (Anna Devane, General Hospital) and her leading role on the CBS daytime drama series.
As daytime fans know, it was at the end of her second run as Phyllis (1994-1997 and then 2000-2013) that she decided to exit the series, launched her web series, The Stafford Project (2013), and then joined the cast of General Hospital in 2014 in the role of Nina Reeves, and stayed with the ABC daytime drama series until 2019. The part is now being played by another Daytime Emmy winner, Cynthia Watros.

When Michelle left GH, it was to go back home to Genoa City and reprise the role of Phyllis who in her absence was played by Gina Tognoni. It was in 2019 that Stafford returned to Y&R as Phyllis when the show asked her back. During her chat with Soapy’s Greg and Rebecca she explained a bit more about the set of circumstances.
FROM Y&R TO GH AND BACK
“I left Y&R for a couple of years, and then I went back, because they asked me and I thought, ‘Why not go?’ I mean, it wasn’t really much more than that,” said Michelle. “I was like, ‘this would be fun,’ and they also were really excited to have me. It’s really nice to be somewhere where they want you anywhere.”
Stafford added, “When I left (Y&R), I think I was kind of burnt out on the character. Even now, Phyllis is jacked all the time, and way that she’s written, especially now, and I really do like it, so don’t get me wrong, but she’s fighting for her life in every scene. She’s hanging from the cliff. That’s like where she is emotionally on a soul level.”
“I played Phyllis for a really long time. I was ready for something different. I went to General Hospital and it was totally different,” shared Michelle. “My sister was sick at the time, and I tweaked, man. I had my kid and I think I needed to do something else. I did my web series The Stafford Project and other stuff, and then Frank Valentini (executive producer, GH) asked me to come on GH. I thought, “Oh, this is such a different character, and she (Nina) was light. There was a lightness about her that I really liked and I really liked doing it.”

Now let us know, did you enjoy Michelle when she played Nina Reeves on GH? Glad she eventually returned to Y&R where she continues to play Phyllis for all she is worth and then some? Share your thoughts via the comment section.
I know it was her choice to return; however, it sits poorly with me, considering she swore she would never return to The Young and the Restless when she quit the role of Phyllis in 2013. And we had a welcomed refresh with Gina Tognoni in the role. But, between Stafford’s return and Josh Griffith’s writing, it feels like she is back to portraying the role she now claims she felt burnt out with portraying.
Yeah, I’m still not happy Gina got the shaft just to make room for Michelle to come back. That was BS!
Exactly I liked the other Phyllis. Michelle played her role very well until she quit and they bumped the other one so they could put her back in there and she’s been a train wreck ever since.
I agree; I felt like Gina Tognoni matured the role a lot, in the same way Sandra Nelson did during her stint.
I don’t think Gina got any shaft! She got 5 years on the number-one show. That’s a hefty paycheck, and a good addition to her resume. And she won a third Emmy … her first for Lead Actress.
I love Gina’s acting. I would love to see her back on soaps. It’s not even that I am a huge Michelle Stafford fan. But she IS Phyllis. When Gina replaced her for those 5 years, it just always felt like one of those “place-holder recasts”.
She did a good job, most viewers warmed up to her and came around, but I think everyone knew at some point that Michelle would be back.
I would like to see Gina in a brand new role written just for her. But all the shows are so top-heavy with females in that age-range … meaning women in their 30’s-40’s.
I’ll take more pearl clutching over absolute horseshit for $2,000.
I agree I miss Gina too, it was a nice change. It would be nice to see Michelle do something different Recently GH, which I’ve just started to watch aired an episode honouring Tony Geary and she was in that episode as Nina. It was great to see.
She played the best Nina on there the way she put her heart into saying her cousin but yet it was her brother so she thought JAY‘s name that relationship between she and he the one that they’ve got playing Nina now cannot even begin to be a Centella of what Michelle Stafford was in that role We got to see a completely vulnerable side to her or as with Waters #. She’s butchered that role she’s just like total on psycho. There’s no soft there’s no remorse. It’s just justification with her so would be nice to have Stafford back
Rosie, you provide an excellent example of why we could use a block feature in this forum. You speak gibberish.
Agreed 100 percent
No Cynthia is fabulous
Agreed, you summed it up perfectly
I miss Dex.
Y & R asked her back, but yes, she chose to return. She’s not the better of the two IMO either.
Ginas show design business is flourishing I’m sure so it’s better that Michelle is back in the role she made famous from day one
I liked the other Phyllis as well she fit the part perfectly. I would like to see her come back.
It sits poorly with me too. In fact, it bothers me to this day what Y&R and CBS did to Gina. I’ve never liked Stafford. Something about her just does not feel right.
I totally agree
What they did to Tognoni does not sit right with me, either, even though it is the name of the game in daytime. But given what Stafford said, it should have been a ‘non-factor’ for her return.
I miss Gina
Me too like a lot
Me too
100% agree because she had that vulnerable side to her and Stafford had already played out her role on there. She came in there as disruptor as the home wrecker, and when Gina rolled around while although she crashed and burned with Jack with Billy, at least it was believable And you could actually see when she was vulnerable and she hurt and stuff or as with Stafford she always has to play this. I am woman and I can do everything and it’s a turn off. It was one thing back in the day when her and Nick were at it and stuff because he needed a mommy, but she really hasn’t done anything for it. I stopped watching wine are over a year ago cause it just got to be the same crap and never found any comfort in Stafford coming back. I thought it was always a raw deal that Gina got pushed aside for her.
Its hard for me to see Michelle Stafford as Phyllis. Gina will always be the Phyllis for me.
No knock to Cynthia Watros, but i get upset that we didnt get to see Michelle Stafford play Nina in all of the powerhouse scenes and fights against Laura Wright(Carly). Laura and Cynthia have an amazing dynamic but could you imagine Laura and Michelle going at it?! Michelle played Nina in the earlier years before the character got REALLY good. Sigh.
Stafford left GH at a point when Nina could’ve easily be written off the canvas permanently. Watros came in and made the character relevant. She made me actually care about Nina – something Stafford’s portrayal did not.
Have to disagree. The Nina that Stafford played was more believable than the role that Walrose is playing a complete psycho. I mean Stafford had a little issues with being a psycho. The psycho was coming out, but not to the extreme of what this one Walrose is doing Stafford actually showed some humility and vulnerability. Where is that one now? Complete narcissist and psychopath complete justification and at least from staff or you could see that there was remorse from this one complete justification.
Nope. As I stated in another post, as Nina, Stafford vacillated between being bratty, aggressive, sassy Phyllis and acting like an infantile, nail biting weirdo. I hated her version of Nina. I didn’t like Nina or Phyllis until they were played by other actresses. Stafford is too campy for my taste with her propensity to constantly ham it up for the camera.
Harry…oh I agree with you…100% AND BEYOND!!!!! To me, Gina Tognoni is A WAY BETTER actress than Michelle Stafford…and has WAY MORE ACTING RANGE!!!!! To me, MS is way too one-dimensional. Example: A while back, remember when Phyllis (played by Gina) TOTALLY WENT OFF on Victor Newman while she was on the witness stand??? To me, THAT’S ACTING!!!!!
Harry…YOU TOTALLY ROCK!!!!!
HAPPY 2026!!!!!
Yes, she was brilliant. She needs to back playing Phyllis. Gina chemistry with the entire cast. Michelle is a extremely obnoxious way over the top performer.
Thank you, Jaybird and long time no see! Yes, Gina knew the importance of the timely pause, the necessary quiet undertones before she rises up to produce a crescendo of emotional heights. Phyllis always seems to be in a state of swarmy hysteria. And you, Jaybird totally rock! Happy New Year!
Writers destroyed the Nina character.
FF all her and also Portia scenes.
Disagree
Just like she sunk the character of Phyllis. Gina was and is.top notch and she made Phyllis must see t.v. now when Michelle comes on I
Its fast forward time on THE DVR
She was great as Nina . But I don’t think k if she stayed that Willow wouldn’t be hear daughter or even Nell. But i really really love Cynthia she brought Nina into a whole new light and passion.
Are you for real? MS absolutely sucked as Nina! It was like watching Phyllis all over again! Cynthia is much better at it!
I always thought she left because JFP wasn’t letting her get her way on everything . I don’t watch anymore I think she is over the top in her acting choices these days, I read the recaps to see if I am missing anything and sadly I’m not this was a show I once loved so much.
There’s probably a lot of truth in the JFP story. Phelps had a reputation of not valuing actresses over 40. (Stafford was 48 in 2013 when her contract came up). For reference, see Phelps treatment of Jackie Zeaman, Kristina Wagner, and Leslie Charleson.
I don’t think it’s an age thing with JFP (she adored Linda Dano on Another World, for example) as much as it is that she always, always, always comes in to a show and butts heads with established powerhouse actresses to try to show she’s the boss bitch so that everyone else thinks “Wow, if she’ll mess with [extremely popular] Y she’ll make mincemeat out of me; I’d better toe the line.” She generally doesn’t go after THE lead folks (so it wasn’t going to be Melody Thomas Scott at YR, for example), but after someone whose popularity is high enough to be someone you’d think was untouchable. If memory serves me (and it might not; so much gets jumbled in my mind these days), it was Sarah Brown at GH and Robin Strasser at OLTL–she made their lives so miserable they left. I wonder if the same thing happened with Stafford. It’s hard to believe, given the timing, that JFP had NOTHING to do with it; she’d just come in within the last year when MS left, and she was gone by the time MS came back. Coincidence? I doubt it.
Interesting theory about not going after the leads. One would think that JFP learned her lesson after taking Beverlee McKinsey for granted. Dano, Slezak, Elliot, and Scott were pretty much untouchable. Elliot had Geary in her corner, which helped as well.
In addition to McKinsey, both Kristina Wagner and (especially) John Ingle got the upper hand with JFP. GH had a front burner story revisiting Maxie’s heart transplant. Wagner turned down her cut contract renewal forcing Phelps to put (a recently dropped to recurring) John York back on contract and bring a miscast Sandra Ferguson on as Felicia.
Phelps thought Ingle would accept recurring. As soon as he went off contract, DAYS offered him a contract. GH scrambled to (horrendously) recast Edward with Jed Allan. Ingle returned to GH on contract after his 2 year deal with DAYS expired.
Wasn’t JFP also horrifically brutal to Genie Francis back when she was on Y& R? That is what I’ve read and it would validate the premise that she aggressively challenged powerhouse veteran actresses.
My understanding at the time was this was related to Scientology. The actor Michael Fairman came on the show cast as Catherine Chancellor’s husband. He was an outspoken former Scientologist who made it clear how horrible the religious leaders had been to him and his wife. That’s what was happening when Michelle left and went to GH. Those who watch GH will remember that their insane asylum was called Miscavage, a la Scientology leader David Miscavage. That name was changed when Michelle joined the show.
around the time that Fairman left Y&R, Stafford returned.
Oh wow. I did not know any of that but it certainly makes sense.
You are so right, and its sad
Gina T made Y&R awesome, with they way she played Phyllis. Her acting was out of this world, giving day in and day out. I was hooked, then when I heard that Michelle was returning and they dumped Gina, it was awful and horrible. So rude and mean and hateful. I couldn’t believe they let the idoit running the show do this and CBS did nothing. Now with Michelle back, it’s back to boring boring and boring. I have skip her with my remote when they show her.
Y& R was awesome, today it’s not. Bring back dead charcters from the 80’s/90’s and Josh G is dumb as they come, why is CBS letting him ruin this show? Gina will probably never return, but she made impact with me and I sure others, but now even Beyond the Gates is beating down on Y&R! I guess this could be the next soap to bite the dust it is 2026. Bad storylines, and all, even Michael’s end of the year reviews didn’t give Y&R any kudos!
*Note BB storyline about retirement and leaving your job due to retirement was Awesome! So true and I watching could feel the pain and sadness portrayed by John McCook -awesome actor! A real sense of what we all feel or will feel when we get to that age and have to leave our jobs. I’ve been at mine for 34years now, and I don’t want to leave either.
I honestly do not understand how Y&R has been in the number one and number two spot in the ratings for a while now. I have tried tuning in several times over the last couple of years and I cannot get back into it. It’s so boring. The show was at its best in the 90s for sure I will stay true to General Hospital. It is the only one I still watch. I quit watching. B&B, Day’s and Y&R a couple decades ago, but I’ve at least tried to give Y&R a chance here and there!
i have to say michelle stafford is the one and only phyliss! she adds that vulnerability to the role so one minute you want her to leave your house forever and the next minute you wanna hug her ! she’s one of the best in daytime and i will add it’s tiresome always hearing about Gina t she’s a good actress but she was never Phyliss
As mean and bitchy as Phyllis is Michelle makes her kind of goofy too lol. She is the only Phyllis I loved that soapy interview love Becky Budig on Bold and Beautiful right now!!
The thing about MS is that she can only play Phyllis. That’s it. No versatility at all. She was horrible as Nina.in tact she was only Phyllis NOT Nina. Cynthia is Nina! Gina was great in everything she ever did. Better actress imo.
Totally agree, Ashley.
Oh, please come back to GH that role has never been the same since they put that other one in there and the way you say JAY and the way you had respect for Maxi please come back
Oh brother.
I miss Gina. I can’t handle Stafford’s overacting. She wasn’t like this when she played Phyllis the first time. The show brought in Gina, and I will never forget how she threw open the doors of that church and burst onto the scene at Nick and Sharon’s wedding, the role of Phyllis was immediately hers. I was like Michelle who? Gina gave so much dimension and depth to Phyllis that had never been there before. What the show did to her was terrible and so ridiculously unfair. Michelle chose to leave. Why ask her back? I miss Gina to this day. But I know she’s doing well and doing projects she enjoys. So, she’s better for it. I love Cynthia Watros as Nina. She’s so talented!
Agree with all of this. I recentky saw Gina on an episode of The Sopranos. She just lights up the scene just from entering it. I gave up Y&R after decades of devoted viewership due to the bad writing as well as the scene chewing Stafford. Like you, I love Watros’s portrayal of Nina. She fleshed her out in such a way as to make her vulnerable, sympathetic and real. Moreover, Watros has a flair for comedy as seen with her clumsy and awkward scenes.
I stopped watching Y&R when Gina Tognoni was fired for Michelle to return to the show. Gina & Jason created the wonderful pairing of #Philly which was so magical.
I love Michelle Stafford! Gina rubbed off on me eventually and yes she’s wonderful! But there’s only one Phyllis and that’s Michelle and also let’s bring Doug Davidson back as Paul!!!! Y & R your not listening
Michelle Stafford and Cynthia Watros are both excellent actresses, along with Gina Tognoni. I don’t think Gina would come back even if they begged and offered her all of the money in the world. She was treated badly. Michelle Stafford ‘s Phyllis many years ago was a compelling character. She was an intelligent and sexy vixen. She could make you hate her, but made you feel for her when she was done wrong. Josh Griffith has butchered the character. She is now a total mess! Out of control, desperate and I have to say a loser. This isn’t Phyllis. He’s also destroyed the characters of Sharon, who also seems somewhat neurotic and Victoria, who is rarely seen, into Margaret from Father Knows Best! (I am dating myself here). This used to be must watch tv for me. Now days I miss Y&R for two weeks. It’s a shame what he has done to this show.
Gina was awful Phyllis she wasnt good as kelly Cramer and she wasn’t good at all as dinah on gl. She always looks like she’s acting.
LOL..stop the cap and stop trolling. Gina was awesome!
Yes
I never cared for the role of Nina until Cynthia Watros took over! I don’t see how the role of Nino was like considering she played the same psycho Phyllis character on GH lol! Those crazy ranting eyes and over the top antics! Cynthia made the character of Nina believable and her dynamics with the other characters changed considerably , in a good way!
Oh yeah. Loved her. Nobody place crazy like Michelle! She’s the best!!!
Will Willow be found out to be the one that shot Drew
Kimberlin Brown is much better at crazy. Love Sheila over Phyllis any day!
She was the best Nina on General Hospital don’t care for Phyllis character
I despise Drew also. I thought Willow shot him until I was reminded of Selina Woo and Trina’s dad were “talking” about Drew’s demise then Sidwell running her out of town. I am so glad Willow finally had an original thought. Give the girl a medal, a key to the city
Gina Tognoni would make an excellent Samantha Gene Brady.
Nah; if she went to Days of Our Lives, it should be Billie Reed. I do think Sami should be recast sometime this year if Alison Sweeney is unable to recommit full-time or even on a more persistent recurring basis.
I beleive Michelle went back to young and restless because she got more money to return. It was about money,nothing else
I love Michele when she came to GH and was sad to see her go, but Cynthia to me is now Nina, and as much as I did like Michele it was not enough to follow her to YR, I’ve been curious because YR has several ex GH stars on their show but when I see them none of them have convinced me to stick around and watch them in their new roles, in fact when I have tuned in Phyllis seems a lot like Nina, but the other characters around her are just snooze ball, I really can’t take it, so that’s how I see it and I’m sure many others have similar believes.
Beyond the Gates
RATINGS: ‘Beyond the Gates’ Inches Closer to ‘General Hospital’ in Total Viewers

The latest ratings are out for the week of October 26-30, 2026 and the big takeaways include: that CBS daytime’s Beyond the Gates was separated by only 23,000 viewers behind third place (of the soaps) General Hospital! For the last several weeks, Beyond the Gates has been closing the gap on this year’s winner for Outstanding Daytime Drama Series, and continuing to best GH in the key demos.
According to the latest Nielsen ratings breakdown from Soap Opera Network, the final week of October brought Beyond the Gates 1.790 million on average tuning-in and the show set a season high in total viewers. Meanwhile, General Hospital hit a new season low! The long-running ABC soap had 1.813 million for the week, and once again the series did not go over the 2 million mark.
Meanwhile, in the key Women 18-49 demo, Beyond the Gates was firmly ahead of GH with a rating share of 0.21, while General Hospital had 0.17 rating share.Then, in the key Women 25-54 demo, Beyond the Gates was once again ahead of the ABC soap with a ratings share for that demo at 0.30 while GH came in with 0.26.

MORE BY THE NUMBERS
In addition and comparatively, Beyond the Gates +22,000 viewers week-to-week, and had the largest gains in viewership year-to-year in daytime TV with +267,000 from this in 2025.. However, General Hospital seems to be going in reverse. The show was down -56,000 viewers week-over-week and down -22,000 year-over-year .
BEYOND THE GATES
Let’s take a look at some of the storylines that had people tuning-in to Beyond the Gates during the ratings week:
Hayley (Marquita Goings) attempted a massive shocker regarding her pregnancy and tried to use it to extract money from Bill Hamilton (Timon Kyle Durrett). Although, Bill saw right through her game, he demanded a paternity test, and made it clear he has no intention of raising the child—planning instead to pay her off to take the baby and leave. Meanwhile, Hayley confided her plan to her cousin Randy (Maurice P. Kerry).
Jacob Hawthorne (Jibre Hordges) and Naomi Hamilton (Arielle Prepetit) clashed over Jacob’s ongoing investigation into The Impaler, causing significant strain in their marriage. At the same time, Smitty (Mike Manning) considered taking matters into his own hands—including potentially heading to Mexico for evidence—while Martin Richardson (Brandon Claybon) worried about what comes next.

GENERAL HOSPITAL
Over at General Hospital for the ratings period, the story served up included:
Carly (Laura Wright) and Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) teamed up to investigate what really happened to Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna). Later, Danny (Asher Antonyzyn) leads them to Jack’s dead body.
Jude (Wil Traval) dropped a bombshell claim to Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn); that he is Phoebe’s father, while Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) and Chase (Josh Swickard) signed their divorce papers.
Then, Danny caught Rocco (Finn Carr) and Scout (Kayden Brenna Tokarski) sharing a kiss, plus the shocking return of Heather Webber (Alley Mills) capped the week.
Now the questions become; without having much promotional synergy in the ABC day-part to draw more eyeballs it is not helping but hurting General Hospital. It seems Beyond the Gates is also a benefactor of a one-two-three punch of CBS soaps (Y&R, B&B and BTG) and promotion.
However, that still doesn’t take away the fact that Beyond the Gates is close to besting GH in all ratings category as they go head-to-head in some markets across the country.
So, are you excited to see Beyond the Gates climb in the ratings? Are you concerned for General Hospital? Do you think they can stave off Beyond the Gates in total viewers or will the upstart soap overtake them in the next ratings report? Share your thoughts in the comment section.

Antonio Sabáto Jr., the former Jagger Cates of General Hospital and GH: Night Shift, and the former Dante Damiano of The Bold and the Beautiful has issued his first public statement since the incident involving his son, Jack’s arrest in Alaska for a fatal hit-and-run.
Jack is the son of Sabáto Jr. and Oscar-nominated actress Virginia Madsen, and according to court documents obtained by KTUU Jack, was allegedly driving a white Chevy Tahoe when he hit and killed Carl Simmonds, 42, near an intersection in Anchorage around 5:35 a.m. on Monday, November 9.
The reports indicated that Jack fled the scene — but later decided to called the cops to say he hit “something” that “suddenly appeared in the road” while he was “doing late-night DoorDashing.”

Now, Antonio has taken to his Instagram breaking his silence on the situation, sharing, “At this time, my family and I are navigating an extremely sensitive and deeply personal matter.”
He added, “As a father, my love for my children remains unconditional, and my priority is the well-being of my family. We ask that the public and members of the media honor our privacy during this difficult time and keep us all in your thoughts and prayers.”
The soap alum concluded, “I also wish to extend my heartfelt condolences to the family and loved ones of the gentleman who tragically lost his life. My thoughts and prayers are with them as well. We sincerely appreciate your compassion, understanding, and respect for the privacy of everyone affected.”
Jack Sabáto was arraigned in court on Tuesday, November 10 with bail set at $5,000, and a no-driving order and the potential of $5,000 penalty fees if he fails to attend future court appearances.
Antonio is the father to Jack, 34, daughter, Mina Sabato, 24 and son, Antonio Sabáto III, 15.

‘General Hospital’ Casts Ayla Bullington as the New Avery Jerome-Corinthos

Sonny (Maurice Benard) and Ava’s (Maura West) daughter Avery looks quite different, starting on today’s November 9 episode of General Hospital. That’s because GH has made Avery into a full-blown teenager and the role is now being played by actress Alya Bullington.
In her debut, the Tennessee native was thrown into the deep soap waters with Daytime Emmy winners, Maurice Benard and Eden McCoy (Josslyn). Bullington weighed-in to TV Insider about her first scene which featured Avery overhearing a fight between Sonny and Josslyn.
She explained “It was something I have never done before, I did not have a lot of experience with the screaming and the crying stuff, but I got my first script, and I was like, ‘OK, this is a huge opportunity to learn so much about how that stuff works and to become this character that I have never even tried playing before.’”

Photo: ABC
THE TEENAGED VERSION OF AVERY WILL HAVE A LOT TO CONTEND WITH
Speaking of working with McCoy, Bullington shared, “She’s incredible. I remember her just laughing and making jokes on set, and then the minute that they started taping, she just locked in and she cried immediately, and my first thought was, ‘I want to be able to do that.’
The soap opera newcomer added, “I think she just inspired me so much because she is so great and she can just lock into whatever character she wants to in the moment.”
The character of Avery was born back in 2014, but as recently as the October 8 episode of General Hospital, the character was suddenly referred to as a teenager. This is the second young female character in recent months to be aged up following the casting of Kayden Brenna Tokarski as Scout Cain.
As for her take on Avery and what’s ahead, Alya said,“She’s emotional, and she’s curious, and she’s a really fun person to play because so much stuff is happening in her life. I think she’s kind of confused about what’s happening and what to believe.”
So, what do you think about General Hospital making Avery a teenager? Are you excited to see the conflict between Sonny, Ava and Avery now that they have aged up the character? Share your thoughts and welcome Alya to GH via the comment section below.
