Melody Thomas Scott Interview - The Young and the Restless: 45 Years of Nikki Newman

#TheYoungandtheRestless #MelodyThomasScott #NikkiNewman #Interview
The Young and the Restless' iconic Melody Thomas Scott (Nikki Newman) chats with Michael Fairman for a very special conversation honoring her 45th anniversary with the CBS daytime drama, which is this month in February.
In addition, Melody talks on her current red-hot storyline which finds Nikki battling her addiction to booze, after her new nemesis, Jordan (Colleen Zenk), and the granddaughter she never knew was alive, Claire (Hayley Erin), kidnapped her and force fed her an IV-filled with alcohol. That sent Nikki off the deep end, and she has been attempting to return to sobriety only to go back to the bottle. During our chat, Melody talks on playing a drunk Nikki, working with Zenk, and where the story may go from here.
Over her 45 year-run, Nikki has had numerous marriages including to Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) and Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman). Melody recalls some behind the scenes moments at Nikki's nuptials, working with her co-stars, and being part of her on-screen TV family, which includes: Braeden, Joshua Morrow (Nick Newman) and Amelia Heinle (Victoria Newman).
Melody also recalls some of the highlights of Nikki's torrid past including her days as a stripper, or the time she was involved with "Crazy Edward" and much more.

If she doesn't win an Emmy this year or next, there really is no justice.

[@toddbowman7380]

Great actress as always, that's why she's a daytime queen!

[@1marianne]

She is the greatest. Love her attitude and she's doing a tremendous job with this current great storyline.

[@DeborahSilva-uy2dx]

Melody is a great actor.

[@user-pj5ep5nk4m]

her comic moments in the hotel room with Lauren when she waved away the water with the words NOT INTERESTED IN IT and a simple eye roll when Victor is mentioned were the pure LUCY...something she knows so well

[@marilynwelther5823]

Thanks for this interview and video. She’s the best. Saw young Melody recently on an episode of The Waltons.

[@kathyspanner3755]

Congratulations she still looks good after 45 years

[@jabjab4434]

Ive been saying for a very long time to have Nikki drunk and doing hit and runs 😂 . Im so delighted for her with this latest storyline and then adding Colleen Zenk is genius. Thank You Michael.

Met her and other cast members of YNR while working a concert venue in Toronto decades back. They were all super nice! Melody Thomas Scott was absolutely stunning in person! 😍

[@calcitygirl93505]

Congrats Melody! You looked beautiful at your 40th...and you're still beautiful.
It's been long time since you did your thing on My Three Sons.... and I'm so sad to know we were at SC together and our paths didn't cross.
Congrats again!

She's my favorite forever and a day!

[@tommyparkerparker]

A great actress and also one of the most prettiest women in the world.

[@user-pj5ep5nk4m]

give her that evil twin - would'nt it be great to see her think about/dig into her friendship with Kay, suffer some trauma and assume a Jeanne Cooper persona as this alternate personality...What a treat

[@mdw71]

Would love to see clips of Edward!

MELODY THOMAS SCOTT

[@user-nw9mz3vu3s]

Nikki and Jack used to be my favorite couple. Nikki brought out the softer side of Jack..& I'm kinda tired of Victor always ending up with Nikki..One of the reasons I love Nikki and Jack together, is because..it's..different, I wouldn't mind seeing them together again. I'd also like to see Nikki's sister, Casey back..& rekindle things. One more thing I would like to see..(and, I hope Melody sees this, cause..it's an 💡 idea. I would like Nikki to strike up a friendship with..Jerri Jewel (aka Rose) and do a storyline on Cerebral Palsy/CP 😊 :) That's all I wanted to say. Roberta Langhton, Jerri Jewel & Melody, would have quite the shenanigans!! 💕 💘 Love the show!!

[@DNBursky]

Great interview. She also married Nick DiSalvo but it was invalid, not sure if that counts :)

[@hkstephenson6991]

Who was the baby number one and who was the baby daddy?

[@as-lc2gs]

Baby nro 1 was Victoria and the dad candidates were Victor and Nikkis husband Kevin
