As previously announced, The Young and the Restless is bringing back Daytime Emmy-winner Tricia Cast as Nina Webster for Cricket and Danny's wedding. Now, the bride herself, Lauralee Bell, who plays Cricket, is giving a preview of what viewers can expect to see when Cast is back on-screen!

"Next month, everyone will see how amazing you are in the wedding episodes!" Bell wrote on Cast's post that shows the two pals and longtime co-stars in the Y&R makeup room. "When you are around it feels like home! ❤️❤️."

"You girls ❤️! You both look 16!!" raved Tamara Clatterbuck (ex-Alice). Added danny_cricket_fan: "Yay! The three muskateers reunited! ❤️ welcome home." Valarie Pettiford (Amy) wrote: "Everything 🎁."

When Bell says Cast is "amazing" in the wedding episodes, does this mean we'll finally get to see Cast's Nina rip into Cane (Billy Flynn) for his inadvertent role in the death of her son, Chance (Conner Floyd)? If the reception is held at the Genoa City Athletic Club, Nina might run into the club's new owner there, right?

After Chance died while trying to save Cane's life, Jack (Peter Bergman) blasted that Nina and Jill [Jess Walton, Chance's grandmother] would be devastated! Alas, Chance's funeral was held off-screen, so we only heard about the devastation. We did get to see some of Jill's response as Walton popped up on screen later and played some of Jill's grief.

Cast is one of Y&R's and daytime's most respected actresses. Her portrayal of Nina, a girl from the wrong side of the tracks, endeared her to viewers. Despite her machinations, viewers wanted Nina to win.

Cast won a Daytime Emmy in 1992 for the storyline in which Nina allowed villain David Kimble (Michael Corbett) into her life on The Young and the Restless. When she discovered that he had planned to kill her for the millions that she inherited after Phillip III (Thom Bierdz) "died" (he actually faked his death, but nobody knew that at the time), Nina shot David multiple times.

She stood trial for his attempted murder and was found guilty -- initially! Her clever attorney, John Silva (John Castellanos), saw a juror who was expressing great emotion over the verdict. He asked the judge for the jury to be polled, which meant they would have to state that that was their verdict and that is their verdict.

A lone juror said that she felt coerced into voting guilty, but that was not how she truly felt. The judge ordered the jurors back into the room to re-examine things. When they emerged a second time, Nina was found innocent!

Will Nina blast Cane for his role in Chance's death? It'd be one heck of a wedding gift to give the Y&R viewers.
