That I am not sure of? I heard about the possibility of them doing a molesting story with Little Phillip but not sure if it was Kyle or the soccer coach?

Oh maybe it was the soccer coach I was thinking about.

And my bad the character Nina dated for a few months was Brett Nelson not Greg the actor or the AMC character lol. I do remember the soap press made it know that Greg Lauren was related to Ralph Lauren.

Also the only other thing I had to point out was Michael Damian was long gone by this point but still in the opening credits. (His final scenes complete with Christine’s final rejection and disgust of him in July was very hilarious to me at the time.)

Did Nina ever learn who her father was?

Nope. If JG finds out, we may get Ian Ward, lmao. Which I actually think Tricia Cast would kill, but ugh, lol.

Whoever it was would be someone who would enjoy young Flo in her boozy libidinous prime

Ian was with pre stripper Nikki. So he should be the right type!

Silly comment on the 1998 episode, but I had forgotten how Nick Scotti’s lips would make me melt 🥹 I still wonder why they replaced him.

Scotti was hot for sure!!

Regarding his exit, this quote comes from the entertainment gossip section of the San Francisco Chronicle dated 12/21/98:

Nick Scotti, the heartthrob of "The Young and the Restless," will soon leave the show, much to his fans' dismay. Scotti, who starred in the feature movie "Kiss Me, Guido," tells Soap Opera Weekly, "I would like to have stayed on, but I have pressuring agents; they want me to do films"

Unfortunately he never had a film career take off and just disappeared in the late 00’s.

I wonder if Tony would still have been killed on New Year’s 2000 by Tricia’s vehicular manslaughter if Nick had still been in the role. I don’t think the replacement Jay B was as popular.

I know Tony and Megan had their fans and I recall Jones and Bontatibus had chemistry but Jay B, may he RIP was also probably too old be playing Tony. Scotti probably was too but ya know gay men never look their age 😂

Regardless I feel like Tony still would’ve been killed off even if Scotti was in the role. Or at the very least Tony and Megan written off into the sunset in early 2000. Despite the buildup Tony and Megan’s forbidden young love arc was quickly eclipsed by the start of Billy and Mac. Also characters like Cole, Grace, and Callie were all written out around the same time period making room for the even younger Glo by Jabot teen set

Nick Scotti will be 60 this coming may! (as will Scott Reeves too which is kind of crazy) On the show he definitely looked more mid 20's then 30 when he started.

BTW people’s aversion to Tony always felt contrived to me. What was the big deal? He was such a sweet guy. Maybe it’s because he was a biker? Because he was Italian? To this day I still struggle to understand. And if there was an age difference, I did not perceive it. Megan, as beautiful as she was, didn’t read as young as Mac to me.

Does anyone have video of this April 17 2000 Crimson Lights scene where Grace tells Meg that Tricia helped frame Tony I am especially looking for the Meg Tricia confrontation that followed
