Quoting excerpts:
Once she discovered what Nikki’s diagnosis would be, Melody began doing research. “I’ve never played a character with this new diagnosis that Nikki will receive, so I spent more time than usual doing research and prepping,” she shared. “I wanted to make sure my portrayal of Nikki’s experience was as authentic as possible.”
With so much drama in Nikki’s life — from her fractured marriage to Victor to Nick’s overdose — she initially dismissed the warning signs. “The timing of Nikki’s headaches lines up with recent stress from her problems with Victor, along with Nicholas’s issues, so it’s easy for Nikki to attribute her headaches to these current events,” Melody explained. “Nikki has a full plate, so she initially brushes them off, thinking they are tension headaches. Unfortunately, Nikki’s condition will soon get progressively worse to the point where she will be forced to get medical attention.”
