On Monday, February 18, “The Young and the Restless” actress Melody Thomas Scott appears on CBS’ “The Talk.” The actress chats about her 40th anniversary on the show as Nikki Newman on the #1 Rated CBS soap.
The actress took to Twitter to say that the Wednesday, February 20 episode of “Y&R” will be a stand-alone episode of Nikki w/vintage clips, not seen since 1st airing!. Currently, on the show, Nikki faces murder charges.
During the emotional interview, the actress also opens up about the sudden passing of her longtime co-star, Kristoff St. John. She emotionally shares how she didn’t let herself feel the loss at first. “I couldn’t, we still had shows to shoot, and I had to remain stoic. I said backstage when I come out and anybody asks me, I’m going to remain stoic.” Scott tearfully adds, “I adored him. We all adored him. There was something very unique and magical about him. He would just draw you into his wonderful world. And all of his bear hugs, I can’t believe I’ll never get a bear hug. Going to any kind of event, any party, the first thing I said when I got there was ‘Where’s Kristoff?’ I want to find Kristoff, I want to be with him, I want to be in his air space. Because that’s the kind of guy he was, and I think that came through on camera. I think everybody sensed that, I mean everybody adored him.”
“The Young and the Restless” airs weekdays on CBS.
