Y&R's Melody Thomas Scott Interview: 10,000 Episodes, The Newman Clan, Regime Change and Twitter!

Today is the airing of the 10,000th episode of The Young and the Restless. And as the episode centers around Victor’s “funeral” and the star-crossed love story of Nikki and Victor on this very special day, we wanted to bring you a very special chat with one of the most iconic names of the series, Melody Thomas Scott (Nikki).
Melody spoke with On-Air On-Soaps to discuss her thoughts on the milestone, and the episode, and tragedies that strike the Newman family. Plus, she shares: what has it been like working with her on-screen children, the Victor/Nikki romance, the new Y&R regime, a preview of what may lie ahead, and if booze is once again in Nikki’s future. Thomas Scott also talks about her loyal fans and followers on Twitter, and those who have supported the series for almost 40 years!
We really enjoyed our conversation with Melody, who is able to look at her soap life with humor, dignity and grace, and respect for the art form she has come to be synonymous with. So happy 10,000th episode Y&R, and now here’s Mel!
Nikki is featured prominently in the 10,000th episode where she believes for all intent and purposes Victor is “dead”. There is a scene at a gravesite that people have been buzzing about featuring you. What can you tell us about the emotional scene and what to look forward to?
MELODY: How many times have I cried at this gravesite??! I lost count! Each time you must make it seem like the first time, so it becomes a challenge.
Do you enjoy the gut-wrenching material when it comes to Nikki’s ever-lasting love for Victor, and the tragedy that strikes the Newman family?
MELODY: Honey, I was born for tragedy! Ever since I have been an actress, which is 56 years now, I have always preferred high drama, angst, and catastrophes. I find it more interesting to play. I guess it’s no accident that I found my way into soap operas!!!
Nikki left Jack for her concern for Victor on their wedding night! Would you have liked to have seen Nikki and Jack last longer as a couple before heading off in Victor’s direction once again?

MELODY: It was written as it was, so I don’t speculate. She has done it before … perhaps she will do it again. But leaving Brad at the altar stands out in my mind as another dramatic ditching! (Victor had just been shot!)
With Jill Farren Phelps and Josh Griffith coming in as the new EP and head writer of Y&R, some of the core contract actors have had meetings with the duo to discuss their character and story. Have you had your meeting? And, did you tell them things you would like to see happen to Nikki down the road?
MELODY: My meeting is today, as a matter of fact. I have no idea what is going to be said in that. However, I have never told a head writer what to write about. Bill Bell (Creator, Y&R) would never have that, so it never occurred to me. And so I just don’t. I enjoy “the-what’s-going-to-happen” as much as the fans do. So, I really don’t want to know. I would never suggest anything, because I think that is telling them what to do, and it’s not my place. I guess I am an old-school actor. You just don’t do that. I would never do that. So I think it’s going to be a short meeting! (Laughs) If he asked me, I would probably throw in, though, the Nikki drinking thing.
Thursday’s episode was Maria Arena Bell’s last script. When you read it and performed it, did you feel that for the 10,000th episode of this iconic series that it honored it, focusing on the core families and relationships?
MELODY: At the time we were shooting that I didn’t. I think probably because it took us six days of shooting for that one episode. So I wasn’t really aware of the, “Oh my God. This is the 10,000th episode!” I didn’t think about that. But now that you mentioned it to me, Michael, I thought, “Wow. This is quite something.” And I thought it did honor the show, and focus on the core families. My only problem with it is that I wish this very special episode did not revolve around the funeral, because it does.

We know that no one plays a drunk better than you! Is there any other actress that you feel in motion pictures, television, or theatre, plays a good drunk, too?
MELODY: Yes Michael. I think there are many that could do that. I have to say I do enjoy playing drunk, as well. Well actually, that does fall into the category of tragic. (Laughs) As far as if booze is in Nikki’s future, only the writers know.
Would you like to see more airtime between you and Jeanne Cooper (Katherine)? The on-screen dynamic of these two has always been something the fans have loved. And, did you read Jeanne Coopers book … Not Young Still Restless?
MELODY: Yes, of course. Katherine and Nikki have a very special relationship, and they have a very special heartbeat. And no, I have not read Jeanne’s book yet. I have been too busy working, but I plan to soon.
What are a few descriptive words or adjectives you would use to describe your on-screen children, Amelia Heinle (Victoria) and Joshua Morrow (Nick)?
Photo Credit: Kathy Hutchins
MELODY: Amelia is an angel straight from heaven. I love just being in her air space. Whatever problem you might have, it seems a little better when Amelia is present. It is so true. She is magical! I don’t think she even knows she is doing this. It just happens. Amelia can do no wrong in my eyes, and she is an amazing actress to boot. Joshua is also a very special soul, who can make you double over with laughter. Ah, if I only I were younger and he weren’t my son … but rehearsals, that’s another story. (Laughs)
Did you ever think when you started on Y&R, that 10,000 episodes were a possibility? Or, at some point did you know this show is such a hit that reaching 10,000 would not be a problem?
MELODY: I never really thought about it. These numbers are just a way of referencing episodes. But every time we reach one of these milestones numbers, I do have to stand back and say, “Holy, Mike! This is really something!” But this 10,000 is quite something. It would take a primetime show 450 years to reach 10,000 episodes!
You and Eric Braeden, as Nikki and Victor, are the staples of the series. Do you think there might come a time where Victor and Nikki might be happy together for at least a week? (Laughs) Or, do you think the constant self-destruction of their own relationship is still as juicy as ever and it needs to happen all the time, or it wouldn’t be true to “them”?
Photo Credit: Kathy Hutchins
MELODY: No. Not because it wouldn’t be “true” to them, but because it would be boring. As Bill Bell always said, “conflict is the essence of drama.”
You have taken Twitter by storm. What are fans saying to you, or asking you the most? What feedback do you get?
MELODY: Well, I am not sure about that! But I will forever be grateful to all of my fans and followers on Twitter, for let’s face it, saving my sorry ass last year. All of their comments have been very supportive, and I have made several friends in the process. Some nights I sit alone in my kitchen howling with laughter. My husband just shakes his head, and my family thinks and knows … I am crazy! (Laughs) I really don’t think I have ever had a negative tweet. I have never had anybody be mean … never, ever, ever. (Editors note: At press time, Melody’s on-screen partner, Eric Braeden, finally joined Twitter @ebraeden, taking the Twitter world by surprise over the last few days)
Are you concerned that the soap genre, as we know it right now, will last only a few more years? We have four shows left, and the two healthiest, at least from outside appearances, are Y&R and B&B. But as had been reported, Y&R has had to make some serious budget cuts, and B&B is also tightening their belts.
MELODY: I think all actors are almost trained from being in this business for so long to not think that way. Being an actor is so precarious anyway, that to try and second-guess how long a show will last, especially something like Y&R, when a show has lasted almost forty years. That’s looking for trouble, Michael. I just wake up and go to work, still happy that it is still here. I don’t want to put that energy out there, so I don’t think about it, and I put my head in the sand. We are so blessed to still be on the air, and rightfully so. I just take it one day at a time and the producers take me 13 weeks at a time! (Laughs)
What would you want to say to all of your fans on this milestone 10,000-episode day, who have followed all of the trials and tribulations of Nikki and have showered you with their loyalty?
Photo Credit: Kathy Hutchins
MELODY: Thank you so much for all of your love and support, and your loyalties through the years. Y&R has the best fans of any show daytime or nighttime. Keep watching, as we never get tired of saying, “Thank you.”
What tease can you give us for what we should watch for Nikki over the coming weeks?
MELODY: Trouble follows trouble and when it rains it pours. Another very tragic event happens on the heels of all of Victor’s trials and travails, and it struck me Melody, very personally.
So soapers, what did you think about Melody’s thoughts and comments? What do you think will happen to Nikki and Victor coming up? Did you watch today’s 10,000 episode? Did you give it a thumbs up? Weigh-in and let us know!
It’s hard to believe it’s been two years since Van Hansis made his debut as the recast Lucas Jones on General Hospital. It was back on October 4, 2024 that GH fans got their first look at the former As the World Turns (ex-Luke Snyder) favorite in his new soap role.
Hansis became the fifth actor to play the role of the adoptive son of the late Bobbie Spencer and Tony Jones, and the biological son of the late Julian Jerome and Cheryl Stansbury. Prior to Van, C.J. Thomason (2002–2003), Ben Hogestyn (2005–2006) Ryan Carnes (2004–2005, 2014–2020, 2024) and Matt Trudeau (2020–2021) had played the part.
When Van left daytime after As the World Turns sadly went off the air in 2010, it would be 14 years until he stepped back into the updated frenetic pace and grind of acting on a daily soap opera.

LUCAS CAME HOME TO PORT CHARLES
Since Lucas has been back in Port Charles, he fell in love with the late Marco Rios (Adrian Anchondo) who was murdered, moved into a new apartment with his current roommate (soon to be love interest?) Joe Fitzpatrick as played by Jonathan Bennett, has become best buds with the “Britch” Dr. Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud), and has found himself involved in multiple other storylines. However, now that Van is firmly implanted on GH, might Lucas get a leading storyline of his own? Stay tuned.
In the meantime, to acknowledge his two-year anniversary at General Hospital, Hansis shared via his Instagram a photo montage and some heartfelt “thank you’s’ and words. “Two years ago yesterday, Lucas Jones came home to Port Charles looking a little different. Looking exactly like me.” began Hansis.
“When I took on the role, I was told it would be a heavy recurring for a few months and then we’d see where it goes – being based in NYC at the time, I thought it would be a fun little gig that would bring me back to my old stomping grounds of daytime for a bit.”

GENERAL HOSPITAL HAS BEEN LIFE-CHANGING FOR VAN HANSIS
Next, the longtime New York-based actor confirmed he has now moved to Los Angeles as this new chapter of his life has unfolded, and how grateful he is that the show’s writers and producers have continually given more for Lucas to do.
Van explained, “But then they kept writing for me more and I fell in love with Lucas, and everyone around him (in front of and behind the camera). I wanted to stay a while and am so grateful I have. Being a part of GH these last two years has been life changing. Literally. My family and I are Angelenos now, I’ve made incredible new friendships and have been able to revisit old ones.”
The five-time Daytime Emmy-nominated actor concluded with, “Thank you Frank (Valentini, executive producer, GH), thank you Mark (Teschner, casting director, GH), for inviting me to the party. You throw a great one. ”
So, happy to know Van is sticking around General Hospital for some time to come? What has been your favorite Lucas Jones moment over the first two years of Van’s run? Let us know via the comment section below.

Robert Kelker-Kelly, ‘General Hospital,’ ‘Days of our Lives’ and ‘Another World’ Star Dies at 62
Robert Kelker-Kelly, who became prominent as a one of the leading men in soap operas back in the late 80s and 90s has died at the age of 62. TMZ first reported the news of Robert’s passing on Saturday, October 3 at his home in St. Peters, Missouri.
According to the St. Peters police report, officers responded to call at around 8:16 pm about an unconscious man who was not breathing, as paramedics and other EMS were en route. Kelker-Kelly had reportedly complained of chest pain shortly before becoming unresponsive and the circumstances appeared consistent with a medical event.
Officers and paramedics administered life-saving measures, but were unsuccessful in reviving Kelker-Kelly. The cause of his death is still unknown and under investigation.

Daytime fans first saw Robert back in 1987 when he was cast as Sam Fowler on Another World. He played the role for three year suntil 1990. Two years later, he took over the role of Bo Brady on Days of our Lives replacing Peter Reckell, who at that time decided to leave the show.
As Bo, Kelker-Kelly was major in story playing opposite the likes of: Crystal Chappell as Dr. Carly Manning, Kristian Alfonso as Hope Williams and Lisa Rinna as Billie Reed. When Peter Reckell returned to his signature role in 1995, Kelker-Kelly left the show.
Next, Robert returned to his original stomping grounds at Another World but this time as race car driver, Bobby Reno who was actually Dr. Shane Roberts. His second AW stint lasted from 1996-1998.

Eventually, the actor would begin his run as the evil Stavros Cassadine on General Hospital in 2001, then make returns in 2002 and 2003. In 2013, he briefly returned as Stavros as part of the show’s 50th anniversary celebration, and made one last appearance in 2014.
Robert has also became a professional pilot full from 2003 to 2015 and had been married to former Days of our Lives star, Miriam Parrish (ex-Jamie Caldwell) from 1997-2011, but the couple divorced in 2011. Since that time, he has not remarried.
Recently, Robert was back in the news when Lisa Rinna talked about her time working with her former Days of our Lives co-star in her recently released memoir, You Better Believe I’m Gonna Talk About It.
Rinna shared on her then on-screen love interest, “Behind the scenes, we hated each other. Remember when Kathy Hilton said I was the biggest bully in Hollywood? Not true. Not even close! I have legit stories about the real bullies in this town. Robert Kelker-Kelly is one of those bullies.”
The former Billie Reed and reality star even punctuated that with, “He made my life a living hell on the set of DAYS, He was horrible to me, I’d go so far as to say verbally abusive. He was passive-aggressive, manipulative and played weird mind games.”
Besides his role in the soaps, Kelker-Kelly appeared on primetime on Touched by an Angel and Rescue 77 , and played Bo in the Days of our Lives specials Night Sins and Winter Heat in the early 90s.
Michael Fairman TV will provide further updates as they become available on the death of Robert Kelker-Kelly.
Now, share your remembrances and condolences on the loss of Robert Kelker-Kelly via the comment section below and let us know of all his daytime roles, which was your favorite.

GH’s Kayden Brenna Tokarski Addresses ‘Positivity and Negativity’ That Has Come Her Way as She Embraces Playing Scout Cain
Kayden Brenna Tokarski took over the role of General Hospital’s Scout Cain from her predecessor Cosette Abinante on the July 20th episode of the ABC soap opera, when they decided to age-up Scout. Abinante has played the part since 2022.
Now, as the story has been unfolding, viewers are witnessing Scout’s journey and burgeoning teenage romance with Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr) and the conflict she’s caught in the middle of between her brother, Danny Morgan (Asher Antonyzyn) and her father, Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison).
Since Tokarski has arrived on the scene, Scout has shed many tears and been in the middle of some heavy emotional beats. On Sunday, October 4, Kayden Brenna Tokarksi took to her X account and dropped a video message to all General Hospital fans.
Photo: ABC
During her message, Kayden addressed how General Hospital has been handed down generations within her family and how she had watched the soap before having the incredible moment of actually becoming a cast member, plus fans positive and negative comments since her debut.
Here’s what Kayden expressed, “I just wanted to come on here and show my gratitude for General Hospital. It’s been the largest dream come true. Seriously, I’m pinching myself. Every single day I get to come to work, and work with the incredible cast and crew. My mom grew up watching with her mom and I watched with her. So it’s very full circle. It’s insane that this is my life. I wanted to give a huge shout out to Cosette who played Scout prior. Thank you for building such a beautiful foundation, and really large shoes to fill, but just such a phenomenal, brilliant actress and young woman, and I just wish you all the best.”
As Scout has grown in front of our eyes, Tokarski shared, “Thank you to everyone for your grace, welcome, and support as Scout is transitioning into a teenager and more. I have never been on a soap opera before, so as I’m navigating this new world, thank you. Thank you for all of the positivity and also negativity, because I don’t look at it as negativity. I look at it as a way to learn and grow and evolve because right now.”
Being on a soap opera is always a work in progress, for any actor who has never fully performed in the medium, it is like no other, with the pace and how it required the actors to make things work often without much rehearsal time. Kayden added, “I’m at a stage where I’m figuring out what works for me and what doesn’t. And if we take it too far, we’ll pull back. Don’t worry. Thanks for being in the ride with me, I hope you stick it out and keep watching General Hospital.”
You can check out Kayden’s video message to all General Hospital fans below.
Now let us know, have you been enjoying Kayden’s performance as the teenaged Scout? Do you appreciate her addressing her love of the show, plus how she hopes to continue evolve in the role? Drop a comment in the thread below.
A message to all the wonderful fans of #GeneralHospital 🙏🫶 #scoutcain https://t.co/ofXCTFcuNx

I just saw the episode-first of all I love how fast the story is moving. Y&R was way too sluggish and dragged out in recent months so today was refreshing setting up future ones while clearing up past ones for the most part.
Oh and I loved the new opening shots! Long overdue!
I HATE HATE HATE THE FIRST FEW EPISODES WITH THIS VICTOR AND NIKKI THING. SHARON SHOULD BE THE LAST ONE IN GC TO GO TO JAIL! I PRAY THIS RIDICULOUS CRAP IS FROM THE OLD MAB WRITING BECAUSE NO ONE BELIEVES VICTOR SHOULD WIN AGAIN AND HE HAS NERVE FROM WHAT HE DID TO SHARON!
Agree 110 percent the nightmare is about to be over hopefully over. Katherine & Nikki bitching about Sharon how many people has Nikki killed three Katherine killed her husband in a car wreck . They both made me vomit today MAB had every intention of getting rid of Sharon Case. And yes she can survive look at everbody’s track record in GC.
What can you say about Melody Thomas Scott that hasn’t been said? She seems like an amazing person. To have fame and fortune, yet still sit down at the computer and tweet with fans is really something. I could think of a million other things someone with her clout might do, but she is so giving of her time. I know because she has responded to me on more than one occasion. 🙂
I love what she said about Amelia – I know she referred to her as “the princess” when she threw a birthday party for her and she has had a baby shower for her too. There is real love there. I love the closeness with Joshua too. I love the friendship that she has with Eric. I have heard before people say they do not get along off the set, but I disagree. I heard about him coming into her dressing room and sneaking cupcakes. 🙂 He really is not as cold as some would make him out to be and the fact that she persuaded him to join Twitter shows that he respects her. I didn’t need convincing, though, because I saw it all on the panel video we saw last month.
I am intrigued about her last comments. I am looking forward to the future of Y&R and keeping my fingers crossed that the veterans are given as much time as the young newcomers. I really help the new team has the best interests of the show – in the loyal fans’ eyes – not by turning it into some show that looks nothing like The Young & the Restless. 🙂
Thank you, as always, Michael. YOU have the best interviews.
Christine did you get the feeling she was hinting at the Newman Ranch getting torched by Sharon? Or am I off base.
OH, kay/kay, that is a good guess and I did hear the rumors that Sharon does that. I could see how that would be personal to Melody if it is true. It could get worse than just the ranch – she could torch the stables too.
That set has been around forever I know how I felt when Kevin torched Gina’s just please do not let Faith get hurt please do not go there or I will be done.
Don’t be too sure burning down the Ranch will result in a set change. Remember a couple of years ago they blew up the Althetic Club? Well, when they rebuilt it it was exactly the way it was before- the same trophies in the trophy case, the same bowl of oranges on the counter- everything. And it took less than a week to do it. And how many times has Jack remodelled the mansion, under Sharon, Dr. Emily etc and somehow it still looks exactly the same.
If Sharon does torch the ranch, you can bet that Jill Farren Phelps is doing a major overhaul of the sets at the studio’s where Y&R is taped. A lot of those sets haven’t seen an update in nearly 20+ years. So, I can see her using the money she saved from letting go four high paying actresses (Marcy Rylan and Jennifer Landon excluded) updating the sets.
So, we could see new sets for some of our core families on Y&R, which IMO is badly needed.
Mary SF, if Jill is going to bring them up to speed looks-wise, I can see them doing a major overhaul on the sets. I still marvel at how beautiful the Metro Court on GH is with those vases and all the pops of green. This is one change I am looking forward to.
CHRISTINE MELODY T.S AND VICTOR ARE SO OVER AND DONE SO TIRED OF THEM. THIS SHOW WAS SUPPOSED TO ATTRACT YOUNGER PEOPLE AND THEY ARE HATING IT!
steve, I suffer horribly from migraines. Can you do me a favor and use the CAPS only for emphasis instead of whole sentences? Reading all CAPS hurts my head. 🙂
We will all have to wait until JFP and Griffith’s work airs on 10/12. It will take time to attract the newer viewers – so if you are one of them – give it some time. I have been watching Y&R off and on since the 80s and while 40, I am not exactly an old bag. I like the black and white opening, but I suppose they could do the same thing in color. Sometimes black and white is just classier. I guess I would have to see something to compare it to.
As for the content of the show, I would like to see Victor be more of what Bill Bell envisioned for him – which is a man with some heart. I think with Victor getting Colleen’s heart, that would be easy enough to do plus his, as someone put it, “born again Christian” (pun intended) 🙂 outlook on life they could do that and focus on OTHER characters.
I have to disagree with you on Melody Thomas Scott and Eric Braeden being so over and done. They still have more story, but I wish they would just keep them together and find a way to write that.
I too watched today’s episode and quite contrary to many folks saying that the script for this episode was horrible, it was very well done. This was one of Maria Arena Bell’s last scripts and to be honest, she did the 10,000th episode justice. You have to give her credit for writing a wonderful script, whether you like her or not (I don’t……..I was one of those that led the campaign to get her fired and finally succeeded in July).
I agree, Michael. The only thing I would have liked to have seen was a montage of past and present characters or something like that. But you have only ONE 10,000 episode and it was nice to see Tracy, Christine, and Danny for the day to support the veterans.
It was great to see Nikki and Victor reunited for the umpteenth time … seriously, I loved it. And seeing Victor, kind of his castle, sort of reflecting and clutching the picture of him and Nikki was nice.
MICHAEL. YOU ARE CRAZY! THIS HAD TO BE ONE OF MARIA BELL’S WORST WRITING EVER! I THINK SHE TOPPED HERSELF IN THE RIDICULOUS POOR EXCUSE FOR VICTOR AND HIS CRAZY EGO ONCE AGAIN. I FOR ONE AND SEVERAL OTHERS HOPE AND PRAY DRUCILLA AND SHARON HAVE GREAT STORIES AND LESS VICTOR/NIKKI THEY ARE SO OLD AND DONE
I freaking love how REAL MTS is! Thanks for a great interview, Michael! Looking forward – as always – to the next episode!! 🙂
Great interview. Can’t wait for the future.
Lovely interview with Melody, Michael.I loved the scene at the ranch today between Nikki and Victor. I do wonder how long this relationship will last this time.It’s nice to see the softer side of Victor. Of course, there is still Sharon crazy lady lurking about with her next plan. I did like Victor’s finally thanking Billy for saving him at the docks. How long will that last!? I’m waiting to see who helped Daisy get out of rehab. Is it Sheila or Kevin? I will be wating to see…….
I like the playfulness Victor had with Billy too. What a treat to see Victor actually smile at Billy! It would be nice for them to be on the same side and make someone else the villain … like Tucker. It’s time for Billy and Victor to just get along.
I think it is Patty that broke out Daisy. It looked like the woman had her stature.
I have two theories of who broke Daisy out. My first one is Isabella. I think she and Ricky were working together to frame Paul. Where did the knife go? Why did Ricky make that video? Why did he confessed to killing Daisy if he didn’t do it? Who dropped the rosary when Paul was at Ricky’s gravesite? I mean Paul just winged him, was that enough force to push him out a window or did Ricky go out on purpose? My second theory, although unlikely, but one I would love to be true is Phyllis is really Shelia and Lauren killed the real Phyllis years ago. I know this is highly unlikely given all the history this year between Phyllis and her sister, history Sheila would not have known, but it just makes me happy to think Shelia has been fooling everyone all these years.
I know, so many questions remain. Those are excellent theories. You should write for them! 🙂
In an era now of ridiculous reality shows that depress and degrade, Melody’s acting and Y & R’s story lines are like a night out on Broadway.
In my opinion I think that Eric Braeden and Melody Thomas Scott are the most convincing, exciting and beautiful ‘on camera’ couple since William Powell and Mryna Loy starred in the old ‘Thin Man’ movies years ago. There is so much chemistry between them that there must be smoke emitting from the set whenever they are doing a love scene. Eric Braeden’s lovely wife and Melody Thomas Scott’s dashing husband must be very understanding. Eric Braeden is a very lucky man, he has a beautiful blond wife waiting for him at home, and a beautiful blond to act like she is his wife on camera. A million men would love to be Mr. Eric Braeden.
