In the episodes of Fire of Love, which will be broadcast on TF1 for a few days, Nick appears on the screen with a different hairstyle than usual. Indeed, it seems obvious that Melody Thomas Scott, the interpreter for the First Lady of Genoa City, is wearing a wig… but for what reason?

Why does Nikki wear a wig?

The world was still in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic when these parts of the cult series were filmed. Therefore, hygiene rules and strict barrier measures were imposed on the filming of the series in 2020.

The actor then took to his Twitter account to explain the surprising change, as some fans expressed concern about the soap opera star’s health…

Melody Thomas Scott said to reassure everyone:I know you have a lot of questions about Nikki’s wig. Just wanted to let you know that everything is fine.“

“When we resumed filming, we were limited to our amazing hairstyling team, continued the actor. We needed a short-term solution. You will see my real hair again soon!“

So, after a months-long hiatus from filming to avoid any fake hair extensions, the crew of the feature film The Young and the Restless (which is gearing up for its 50th anniversary with much fanfare) forced the lead actor to wear this wig… but unfortunately, he didn’t. Escape the lynx eye of the American everyday believer!

The latter are still happy to see their favorite character on the front page of intrigue: after discovering the heavy secret that Victor has been hiding about Adam, Nicky’s Victoria has offered her an important job… What will her future hold? adventures?
