A proposal, and a death, highlight the next few episodes of The Young and the Restless...
That was close.
After a series of tense contract negotiations, Melody Thomas Scott has signed a new contract with The Young and the Restless.
Following a vacation, the actress will return to the CBS series on which she's starred for 30 years and appear in episodes that are likely to start airing in late August or early September.
Scott spoke with TV Guide Magazine about the contentious contract talks, as well as the future of her character, Nikki. A couple excerpts:
On contract negotiations: Negotiations are a necessary evil and are always very bizarre. I guess maybe with me more so than other actors. I don’t know why that is. It’s the nature of the world I’ve chosen to live in.
On her on-air return: I’m going to take advantage of this overdue breather and have a little “me” time, travel a little bit, get reacquainted with my family and friends. I finished shooting just last Thursday [July 2]. And I really have to hand it to the writers. Nobody knew how this [contract situation] was going to end so they very cleverly figured out a way to get me off the show.
I never say stuff like this, but I have been so knocked out, so impressed with the writing of the episodes that air the first week of August. That week is not to be missed. It’s an amazing ride - grueling but really satisfying - and the writers did terrific work. Not just with my story but the whole show that week. You cannot miss it.
Punches and discoveries highlight the week ahead on The Young and the Restless...
In an interview with Michael Fairman, Stacy Haiduk peers ahead on The Young and the Restless.
What's coming up for the character of Mary Jane? Haiduk says:
Mary Jane has a dream of her past and she remembers Jack had an affair the moment she tripped and lost her child. That was another horrible thing that happened. As the dream progresses, young Patty tells Jack that she wants to die. He begs her to kill him, so he tells her to shoot him, and she shoots him three times.
It’s an emotional waterfall. It’s painful, and the audience is going to find it’s disturbing. All the people who remember what really happened with Jack and Patty will get it.
The rumors can now be confirmed as fact:
Following weeks of speculation, John Driscoll has been cast on The Young and the Restless.
The actor, who left the role of Coop on Guiding Light earlier this year, will take on the role of Phillip Chancellor IV. His first airdate is July 16 when the character returns to Genoa City.
Think this is a good casting decision?
