Why Y&R Fans Are Upset With Nina’s Upcoming Return
Nina is an adored character on The Young and the Restless. Although she no longer lives in Genoa City, she often returns to her hometown. Her next return is set to happen soon, and fans aren’t happy about it.
Key Takeaways
- Nina is currently living in Los Angeles.
- The character recently lost her youngest son, Chance.
- Chance’s funeral happened offscreen with Nina in attendance.
- Nina will return for Christine and Danny’s wedding.
Wedding, But No Funeral
Nina (Tricia Cast) has been an important part of Y&R history since 1986. Like many characters, she opted to leave Genoa City, but returns for special occasions. The next event that viewers will see Nina at is Christine (Lauralee Bell) and Danny’s (Michael Damian) wedding.
It’s no surprise that Nina would return for her best friend’s big day. The event will probably bring some joy to Nina, who recently experienced a tragic loss.
Nina’s son Chance (Conner Floyd) was killed during the gathering at Cane’s (Billy Flynn) chateau in France. Chance’s death upset fans in more ways than one. Many expected to see Nina grieving over her son, but unfortunately, Chance’s funeral took place offscreen in Los Angeles, where Nina lives.
The fact that Nina is returning for Christine’s wedding but not for her son’s funeral is upsetting fans. On Reddit, many Y&R viewers expressed their anger toward the decision. “Nina can’t return after Chance died, but she can return for Cricket’s wedding?” asked one user.
“Nina can be at a wedding not a funeral? Ridiculous,” one viewer ranted. “They had best give us a couple of mourning Chance scenes. I’m more excited to see Nina and Cricket mourn baby Phillip than in the wedding,” declared one fan.

Will Chance Be Mentioned During Nina’s Return?
Nina’s return is bound to bring up memories of Chance. While it would be nice to see Nina confront Cane for his role in Chance’s death, odds are it won’t happen.
Since this is about Christine’s big day, Nina will be busy with her friend. While Nina’s trip is supposed to be about celebrating her friends, she might end up being the center of attention.
With Christine and Nina reuniting, the two will reminisce and Christine will express concern about how Nina’s handling Chance’s death. Nina will try to be strong, but deep down, she’s hurting. Christine will get Nina to open up, and fans may finally see Nina grieve for her son.
