Melody Thomas Scott revealed that she felt honored that her fans noticed she hadn’t been on the show very much lately, but she noted it wasn’t her choice. She said that her storyline wasn’t very strong this past month while they moved into the Adam Newman (Justin Hartley) reveal and Paragon Project plot. She said, “She will return to a front and center storyline in time.”

She noted that it would be a little while before fans see her on the screen, but she has a good storyline coming in the coming months. When you factor in the show tapes about six weeks or so in advance and Melody talked to SID about three weeks ago, one can assume we should see Nikki on the screen any day now.
