In response to Tognoni’s Instagram message, Alice Hunter (ex-Kerry, Y&R) posted, “You are the smartest, sharpest, deepest and most layered actor I saw on that set and I enjoyed watching you work beginning to end. Thank you for pouring your heart into Phyliss and demonstrating how to love and understand such a deeply flawed character. I’m better for having worked with you. X.” Beth Maitland (Traci, Y&R) wrote, “Love you for reals!!” Jessica Collins (ex-Avery, Y&R) added, “As always, you are a class act. Nothing but love for you lady and can’t wait to see what amazing things come next! Xoxo.” B&B’s Courtney Hope (Sally) posted, “?.. You’re iconic ❤️ I will miss seeing your brilliant work and smiling face in the halls! You deserve the beauty of whatever comes next ?!” In the GH camp, Stafford’s on-screen love interest James Patrick Stuart (Valentin) lamented, “It’s all fun and games…. Until you lose Michelle Stafford.” Marc Anthony Samuel (Felix) shared, “Gonna miss you around the water cooler @TheRealStafford! All the best to you for the future! Xo.” And Laura Wright (Carly), who worked with both women (she and Tognoni were both on GUIDING LIGHT), enthused, “Onward and upward to these two talented beauties!!!! #daytimefamily.”
