Tricia Cast (born November 16, 1968 in Medford, New York) is an American actress, best known for her role as Nina Webster on The Young and the Restless.
She first came to prominence on the television series The Bad News Bears in 1979. After years of acting in TV movies, she starred with Jason Bateman as his sister on the television series It's Your Move. This performance led to a short stint on the soap opera Santa Barbara.
Her most-recognized role stemmed from her first soap opera appearance. The casting directors of The Young and the Restless expressed interest, and wrote the character of unwed teenage mother Nina Webster into the storyline specifically for Cast. Nina Webster was initially a very small, supporting role tied into the teenage pregnancy theme (she was an acquaintance of the main character, Molly Stark, a teenage runaway befriended by Cricket Blair (Lauralee Bell) of the summer 1986 season. However, her character proved so popular that she was added as a regular after the storyline ended. She started on the show in 1986 and her character matured considerably, marrying into the wealthy Chancellor family. It was recently announced that Cast would make a brief return to Y&R in November 2008.
A lucrative role for Cast, she played the role of Nina until 2001. Cast also nabbed a Daytime Emmy Award win for Outstanding Younger Actress In a Drama Series in 1992.
From 1989 to 2000, Cast was married to Jack Allocco, one of the music supervisors for the program. Cast is currently married to Bat McGrath, whom she married on July 20, 2000.
