The Young and the Restless Comings & Goings: Tina Casciani returns as Riza, a woman from Adam's past

The Young and the Restless has invited actress Tina Casciani back to the show as Riza. The character last appeared on Y&R in January 2020. Riza knew Adam during his time in Las Vegas when he went by the name "Spider."

Casciani will be back on Y&R on Monday, March 23. So, it's looking likely that Adam (Mark Grossman) and Nick (Joshua Morrow) are making good on their travel plans to go to Las Vegas, hoping to put an end to the threat of Matt Clark (Roger Howarth) once and for all.

Will they encounter Riza, Adam's associate from his days in Sin City? It's very likely, as the actress is back on the show.

Born in New York City, Casciani, in addition to being an actress, is also a model and dancer. She began her career modeling, finding great success appearing in campaigns for GUESS and Giorgio Armani.

Her credits include Revenge, Jane the Virgin, Murder in the First, and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.

Brothers in charms

Adam and Nick teaming up is a bit of a departure for the two men. They've been getting along fine in recent years, but there's a lot of water under the bridge for Victor's (Eric Braeden) sons.

Adam is the child of Victor and Hope (Signy Coleman), the woman Victor chose to marry instead of reuniting with Nikki. Adam had gone to college and business school, unlike Nick, who didn't always gravitate to the money side of the Newman empire.

Nick didn't grow any fonder of Adam after he took up with Nick's former wife, Sharon (Sharon Case), either. But none of that matters now. Not only is the Newman family under attack from Phyllis's AI program, but Nick's mortal enemy, Matt Clark, is back in his life.

Nick needs help, and he doesn't think it's the right time to bring along an army of Newman security hired hands. However, he does have Adam on his side. While Nick wishes Matt had never come back, he and Adam may emerge with a stronger brotherly bond after this adventure is over.
