Gina Tognoni on Crystal Chappell's Venice: “I’d Love to be a Part of it”




Guiding Light's Gina Tognoni reveals to TV Guide Canada's Nelson Branco in this week's Soapgiest that she's been sent a script by Crystal Chappell for a possible role in Venice.

Emmy winner Gina Tognoni (Dinah, GL) informs Soapgeist that she was sent a Venice script by her former co-star Emmy winner Crystal Chappell (Olivia, GL) for a possible role on the much-buzzed online venture. “I’d love to be a part of it,” she tells Soapgeist. “We’ll see!” As for rumours that Tognoni is in talks to join a soap, all she will say is, “things are in the works.” The loyal New Yorker adds, “I AM willing to move to L.A. FOR THE RIGHT SHOW.” Hmmm … Look for a more in-depth interview with one of daytime TV’s greatest talents very soon

Thats it! Why didnt they fire Ellen and hire Crystal in her place? If she can get Gina Tognoni for Venice (if I realize she's not cast yet) then just wow! So far all that I've heard about Venice is made of win, I'm thankful to be excited about a soap premiering and not sad about one ending. On another topic Frank from GL is talking about pitching some ideas to P&G soon that include continuing GL in some form so good for him to.

Maybe I won't be as sad about GL ending since quite a bit of the cast is in Venice!
Well, Crystal has to ask friends to donate their services after all.

She WOULD be willing to work in LA for the right role.
Her hair is now back to brown???

"Venice" is shaping up to be a really interesting series just by the amount of interest it's generating. If Crystal Chappell plays her cards right - and so far she *really* has - she could pull together a "who's who" of the soap world for this little "side project" of hers. Now, if only the script/story is as good as the casting.
