Reception
The show reportedly dropped in ratings in September 2011 after Scott had exited. Scott has created a Twitter account to "tell the truth" in "her own words". She said "I've recently joined Twitter because I can tell the truth in my own words. So nobody can mess with that. So all I can do is tell the truth and keep fans abreast of what is really going on." The character and actress are considered an icon of the show and daytime television. Former head-writer Maria Arena Bell called Nikki one of the "hearts and souls" on the show, and said "Melody is a phenomenal actress. Nikki is one of the great core characters of The Young and the Restless."

Famous quotes containing the word reception:
“To aim to convert a man by miracles is a profanation of the soul. A true conversion, a true Christ, is now, as always, to be made by the reception of beautiful sentiments.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“To the United States the Third World often takes the form of a black woman who has been made pregnant in a moment of passion and who shows up one day in the reception room on the forty-ninth floor threatening to make a scene. The lawyers pay the woman off; sometimes uniformed guards accompany her to the elevators.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
“Satire is a sort of glass, wherein beholders do generally discover everybody’s face but their own; which is the chief reason for that kind of reception it meets in the world, and that so very few are offended with it.”
