Melody Thomas Scott Sits Down With Pat Harvey
The event, set for Monday, September 27 at 4 p.m. ET/1 p.m. PT, is being held by The National Arts Club. Scott’s interview is being labeled as Always Young and Restless. If that sounds especially familiar to Y&R fans, it should. That’s the name of Scott’s memoir. The actress visited Soap Hub last year for a Fireside Chat to talk about her memoir.
Scott has played the role of Nikki Reed Newman since 1979. The actress is the show’s longest-running performer currently on the air. Viewers fell in love with the love story between stripper Nikki and mogul Victor Newman (Eric Braeden). The couple wed in 1984 but the journey for the star-crossed lovers was just beginning. They had two children, Victoria (Amelia Heinle) and Nicholas (Joshua Morrow), but they split in the late 1980s.
Even though each moved on to other romances and marriages — Nikki wed Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) and was engaged to Brad Carlton (Don Diamont) while Victor wed Ashley Abbott (Eileen Davidson; Brenda Epperson) and Hope Adams (Signy Coleman) — their love could not be denied and Victor and Nikki reunited in 1998. Nikki was on her deathbed and had one dying wish — to leave this mortal world as Mrs. Victor Newman. Victor got a quickie divorce from Diane Jenkins (Alex Donnelly) only Nikki ended up living after Victor’s love gave her the will to survive
Life Before Y&R
