Young and Restless’s Tricia Cast Dishes Return as Nina, Confrontation With Cane Over Chance (Excl)

By Mara Levinsky November 20, 2025

The remarriage of Christine “Cricket” Blair (Lauralee Bell) and Danny Romalotti (Michael Damian) is slated to take place on Young and Restless on Friday, November 21 and Monday, November 24, and Daytime Emmy-winner Tricia Cast is returning as Nina Wesbter for both episodes of the splashy nuptials. The Nashville-based actress spoke exclusively with Soap Opera Digest about her Genoa City comeback — and the long-awaited confrontation Nina will have while she’s in town.

You Can Go Home Again

Cast, whose Y&R roots date all the way back to 1986, agrees that it would have been “unthinkable” for Nina not to be on hand for bestie Christine’s latest walk down the aisle — after all, she’s served as her maid or matron of honor at all three of her prior nuptials (one to Danny, two to Paul). Nina’s participation in this week’s ceremony was locked down when the show’s casting department reached out to check on her schedule. At the time, Cast didn’t know what Y&R had in mind for Nina. Recalls the actress, “They said, ‘Are you available?’ and I thought, ‘Okay… So what’s going on?’ And then I said to Lauralee [Bell], ‘It looks like I’ve got a day [of taping]. What’s up?’ She said, ‘Oh, uh, Cricket and Danny are getting married!'”

The news came as quite a shock to Cast. “I just about fell over in my chair!” she reports. “I’ve always thought that that should be a thing, that Danny and Cricket should probably reunite and get back together and that would be wonderful, but you never know what’s going to happen, and I don’t really pay attention [to the show] all that much, so I didn’t know what was going on. And so when she said they were getting married, I was like, ‘How wonderful!’ I was just so excited about it and so happy that they found Nina to be an indispensable part of the party — and just so thrilled to be getting on a plane and going to play with my friends.”…..
