With Michelle Stafford signed on to play Nina Clay on General Hospital, The Young and the Restless has put out a casting call for Phyllis Summers Newman. The character has been in a coma since Stafford's exit last August.
Y&R is seeking a 35-40 year old actress with the following description:
Phyllis is beautiful, smart and conniving. She is confident in her own sexuality and is unafraid to use it to get what she wants. She knows she has power over men and many times has used it, both to her benefit and to her detriment. She definitely has an edge.
Sandra Nelson played the role of Phyllis in the late '90s.
We Love Soaps' Michael Goldberg predicted in his latest article that Y&R would be hot to cast Phyllis after GH snapped up Stafford:
Y&R is coasting, and it's time to stop. The priorities seem to be all wrong. The first thing I thought of when I saw former Y&R actress Michelle Stafford pop up on ABC soap General Hospital last week was, "Oh brother, which current or former GH actress will Y&R try to 'steal' now to play Phyllis?
Who would you like to see as a recast Phyllis?
