What We're Wanting From Tricia Cast's Return As Nina On The Young And The Restless

Conner Floyd was a recast for Chance Chancellor in 2021, but despite returning to "The Young and the Restless" since, Trica Cast has never had the opportunity to appear opposite her onscreen son. Regarding the upcoming scenes between Chance and Nina Webster, Cast assured Soap Opera Digest, "It's really well-written, lovely stuff." She had nothing but praise for her co-star, gushing, "And what a great person and actor and co-worker Conner is. He just floors me. He's really sweet and fun to work with and I think [the fans] will believe that we are mother and son."

Alongside Cast's return, fellow fan favorite Michael Damian also reprised his role as Danny Romalotti back in September for what appears to be a longer run too, so it will be great to see Nina, Danny, and her bestie, Christine Blair, getting into plenty of drama together. The soap star discussed working with Damian and Lauralee Bell too, recalling that their reunion was: "Just like nothing had changed with us, like no time had passed." 

She continued, "We all work together well and we play together well and it's just so fun." Looking forward to the upcoming stories, Cast further explained that it's going to be exciting not only for the fans but also for the actors themselves, enthusing, "There's meaty [material] for everyone." We can't wait to see Nina and Chance reconnect!
