On any other soap, that announcement might have had me worried how much longer it would be before TPTB got rid of her or sent her to the backburner. Not on a Bell soap. MTS has many more years, and many more frontburner storylines to celebrate!

A (beautiful) woman whose creation of Nikki was so authentic and real that she became Nikki. Here's to another 30 years!

Finally, a closer look at that legendary dressing room...

Basically I still can't stand that woman but as an actress she has really come to her own in the last decade. Considering that after so many years many stop trying or lose their enthusiam, this is a true accomplishment. Congrats Melody to 30 indeed memorable years and in the current you've my blessing to many more to come...

I cannot believe it's been 30 years already! I haven't been watching quite that long but MTS never disappoints me. She is the epitome of what's wrong with the damn Emmy's and what a farce they are.

Her slow breakdown as her marriage to David collapsed and then the Sabrina/David death was Emmy-worthy and should have netted her AT THE VERY LEAST a pre-nom. I don't understand why she didn't get one. Is she really so deathly unpopular? I can clearly remember interviews by Sharon Case, Heather Tom and Amelia Heinle talking about what a wonderful woman she is to them. HT practically considers her a second mom.

The whole arc was spectacular, leading to Nikki's relapse, and then the scenes in Mexico, followed by Nikki swallowing her pride and asking for Ashley's help.

Do we know for certain if MTS didn't want her name submitted for pre-noms?

Congratulations Melody Thomas Scott on your 30th anniversary on Y&R! It's criminal that she's only been nominated once (1999) for lead actress. Melody was totally ROBBED of a lead actress nomination and win in 1992 during Nikki's substance abuse storyline.

    • I loved watching Shanice hand Leslie her ass and finally shutting her up. It was so good. I also love Martin & Smitty's family.  Anita has to have some sort of plan giving Leslie the tickets to mail for Winterfest. She has to be setting her up for a fall. It's pretty obvious to me Vernon is not cheating with Sharon. I think Sharon is helping him with his terrible singing voice for Winterfest. I still believe Bill & Dani are endgame but I love Dani & Andre too. I am definitely enjoying this story. And making Hayley a black widow is a nice twist.
    • Sorry for the spam. Wasn't sure where to put this, it's from Tony Geary's husband's IG. Tony watching Genie and Maurice on Mo's show.
    • This show is really trundling along BTW. When is someone going to show up to slit Beastmaster's throat or crack the whip on metrosexual Sidwell? (BTW, openly presenting this cheery bon vivant as casually bisexual would at least be something vaguely diverting.) At least kill Brennan by year's end. I'm bored.
    • She told Vanessa to "DOUBLE her offer" on the Jarvis house.  The Jarvis family accepted the doubled price.  Assuming the house has an appraised value of $2,000,000, she's theoretically paid the Jarvis family $4,000,000 for the house.  The bank would loan Leslie 80% of the appraised value ($1,600,000), and Leslie had to pay the balance with cash at closing --- $2,200,000.  She only had ONE million.  Where the hell did she get the rest?!  And now she's got contractors working on the house all day & half the night.  Who's paying THEM?  I keep thinking all this will crash around her.  Either that or the writers have absolutely no idea the limits of a million dollars.  Sounds like a "lot of money", but it obviously ain't when we look at Leslie's spending since she got that million dollar check in August.

    • Vernon is an idiot. Why would he have Sharon in the same hotel that Leslie is staying at?
    • Yes, that out of the blue return was odd. Maybe GG found a forgotten clause in the contract he signed when he was wooed to ABC and they were forced to take him back! Like George Reinholt he talked about the contract that promised him primetime roles. But it was loaded in the networks favor. I think it was Gloria Loring that re-signed at Days on the promise of primetime opportunities, but that was all it was- she was put up for guest spots and TV movies but not necessarily guaranteed that she get the role.
    • I still am baffled by why Monty brought back stunt hire Gerald Gordon in the early '80s out of nowhere for like a year. I haven't found anyone who can come up with a thing he did in that second stint of note.
    • It's interesting to watch this having watched The Doctors. I'm not sure I'm seeing that much of a difference in the characters Gerald Gordon and Anna Stuart played on The Doctors and what they're playing here.
    • I keep forgetting a huge chunk of that year was written by scabs. You're probably right, because by the time the strike was over, they were likely planning an exit for Alan's character as it must have been obvious by then that Bernau was not going to return. If he was still there, it's also doubtful they would have approached MZ and MG about coming back. Wild.
