Melody Thomas Scott, known for her role as Nikki on “The Young and the Restless,” recently shared a heartfelt tribute on Instagram to her former co-star, Wings Hauser, who passed away at the age of 77.
Hauser portrayed Nikki’s first husband, Greg Foster. In her post, Scott expressed her sorrow, stating, “So sorry to learn of the passing of my dear friend, Wings Hauser. We loved working together. He played Nikki’s first husband, Greg Foster.”
Scott reminisced, “We would walk over to Farmer’s Market together every morning to have breakfast at Dupar’s. With his script for that day always rolled up in his back pocket, I would laugh at his belief that he would learn his lines through osmosis. But it always seemed to work!”
She noted, “We shared many powerful scenes. He was so talented and showed me the ropes. He would bring his children, Cole and Bright, to my house on weekends and have a blast. I had the joy of spending time with his children and getting to know his family, while working closely with him at the studio every day. The show was only a half hour then, but it was magical. The beginning of the great heights that Y and R has reached. I adored him and will forever cherish his memory. RIP my friend.”
