Fans of The Young and the
Restless are in for a big disappoint
ment. Nick Scotti, who plays Tony,
is leaving the show.
“Nick has chosen to leave Y&R to
expand his horizons and other oppor
tunities in prime time and film,” says
William Bell, executive producer.
“He is a fine actor and will be
missed by everyone at Y&R. We
wish Nick all the best in his future
endeavors.”
It is likely the part of Tony will be
recast.
Dear Candace: OK, so like the
last thing I want to see during the
holidays is soap opera characters
turning into dried-up mummies.
What were the writers on Sunset
Beach thinking? I like the characters,
but the stories are so ludicrous. If
this show were to disappear I don’t
think anyone would care. -Samantha
in Florida.
