SPOTLIGHT: Y&R's Tricia Cast as Nina Webster


I have a secret to admit, We Love Soaps fans. I thought I was past the point of falling in love with a fictional soap character. Sure, I had love in my heart for Sarah Gordan Buchanan (Jensen Buchanan) on ONE LIFE TO LIVE. There was a time when I couldn't miss a scene with Jake Mckinnon (Tom Eplin) on ANOTHER WORLD. And I can't forget my true love, Kimberly Brady (Patsy Pease) on DAYS OF OUR LIVES.

I hate to break it to Sarah, Jake, and Kimberly, but I have a new love. I now want to marry Nina Webster. Tricia Cast is currently stealing every scene she is in on the THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS. There is not one false note in her portrayal. From the moment Cast and Nina returned to Genoa City it was as if she never left. I feel fully confident in saying the current story unfolding could not be happening without Cast and Nina.

Nina is not only the smartest resident of Genoa City (sorry Jill, your drinking may have clouded your judgement), but watching her passion to save her son, to prove that Cane is a fraud and to put snarky Lily Winters in her place is a sight to watch.

I always enjoyed Nina, but never so much since she has returned to town. When all is said and done, I need to see Nina get beyond her troubled romantic past and find true love. Clearly, Phillip, David, and Ryan weren't the answers! If there isn't anyone available in town for her, I hope she knows where to find me.
