It is Melody. Someone in the know on Soap Royalty posted the whole story. They wanted her to take a pay cut but none of the male actors were asked to take one so she said she would not. They then offered her recurring or nothing at all. Seems she is really gone at the end of the summer.

If the news about MTS is true, I am not surprised considering how the soaps are going these days. I hope that MTS takes the recurring. I would not like Nikki to leave permanently because in time, they may yet create a place for her on the show.

I adored GT on Dynasty and then Santa Barbara. I loved his Adam. He was a mess of insecurities. I hated that they had him raped Kirby. I loved that when Alexis realized that Adam could go to prison for whatever scheme he did, she took the rap. She was a monster, but she adored her children. It was great that despite everything Adam had done when Blake and Alexis found out that he was not their biological son, they were like "whatever we love you anyway." Adam finally had the love and acceptance that he need to heal his psyche.

Daytime Royalty is a forum I help run.

I'm the one who posted the MTS information. None of it was confirmed, I was just passing along information that I heard. If anyone tells you that something is confirmed or set in tone, they're lying, LoL.

Nelson said the full story will be revealed in tomorrows Nelson Ratings. I think it's very likely that it's MTS as well. If it's true then it's a shame Y&R is doing what all other soaps, daytime and primetime, do to their female talent. It's shameful how unappreciated women are in a women's medium. I'm so sick of this happening repeatedly with the women and rarely the men. Just like the racial issues nobody wants to address, daytime is also very sexist.

^^^I'm not talking about acting though. I think fans would be more upset (not talking internet) losing Melody/Nikki than they would Jess. Also, I don't think Jess is a "far superior" actress to Melody. Both have extremely different acting styles, and I think they compliment each other quite nicely.

You think so? Melody seems to have had her presense on the show marginalized over the past few months, whereas Jess is getting much meatier material to play again. Sure everything is subject to change, but the Jill character does have a longer history with the show than Nikki does.

For the record, I'd be pissed if Y&R lost Melody too, and I do not think the show would be the same without her.
