The Young and the Restless' Melody Thomas Scott

The Young and the Restless’ Melody Thomas Scott is set to receive a Lifetime Achievement honour at this year’s Daytime Emmy Awards alongside her husband, Emmy Award-winning producer, Edward J. Scott.

The TV Watercooler had the opportunity to chat with Scott ahead of Friday night’s 51st annual Daytime Emmy Awards to chat about the family preparations for the awards, the legacy of Victor (Eric Braeden) and Nikki, and her most recent storyline where Nikki fell off the wagon thanks to the evil Jordan Howard (played brilliantly by Colleen Zenk) in what the actress shared she’s so “blessed” to have given material that was both “intense and very satisfying.”

The Young and the Restless airs weekdays on Global and CBS. Canadians can catch up with episodes on demand, the Global TV app, STACKTV, and at GlobalTV.com. The 51st annual Daytime Emmy Awards air this Friday, June 7 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Global and CBS.
