Five-time Daytime Emmy winner, Heather Tom (Katie) is taking a short break from filming episode of The Bold and the Beautiful. The actress announced via her Twitter account that she is in Vancouver this week shooting a guest star turn on Fox’s new dramatic series Lucifer! Tom related: On my way to Vancouver to do an episode of @LuciferonFOX #ohcanada.
Then once situated in her hotel room, the always political Tom shared a beautiful picture of the city via her Instagram account and added this: “Nice view from my room at @suttonplacehotels I love #canada I could be an expat, I really could… Hey if @donaldtrump2o16 gets elect I might have to! #scary #politics”
Lucifer stars Tom Ellis as the devil, and is a procedural drama with a twist: Lucifer defies God, takes a vacation from Hell and teams up with a hard-edged Los Angeles detective (Chicago Fire‘s Lauren German) who’s somehow immune to his powers. No word yet on the airdate of Tom’s episode.
In addition to her busy shooting schedule in Vancouver, Heather is again front and center in story on B&B this week. For Katie will find out about Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Bill’s (Don Diamont) unresolved feelings for each other which will send her spiraling. But the actress noted it’s not going to be the same ole’ same ole’ to the viewers relating on Twitter: “Watch tomorrow everyone! It’s going down this week!!! This story is going to have some turns- it’s definitely not what we did before!”
So, what do you think about Heather’s upcoming guest star turn on Lucifer? Glad to see she is getting an opportunity to spread her wings? And what do you think will be the difference in the Katie/Bill/Brooke triangle storyline this time that Heather hinted at on B&B? Share your thoughts in the comment section below!
It looks like the current run of Lucas Adams (Noah) and Tamara Braun (Sienna) on The Young and the Restless is coming to an end, after the Monday, August 3 edition of the CBS daytime drama revealed that Noah and Sienna are leaving Genoa City and heading back to Los Angeles.
In the storyline, Noah informed his mother, Sharon (Sharon Case) and half-sister Mariah (Camryn Grimes) that he and Sienna made the decision to move back to the West Coast to put distance between themselves and Matt Clark (Roger Howarth). Although Noah did not say it was a permanent move, he did assure his mom that once Matt is hopefully gone from Genoa City they could return.
However, as previewed already on the video teaser for this week’s episodes of Y&R (see below), it appears Noah left Genoa City’s The Shadow Room to be run by a returning Danny Romalotti (Michael Damian). So with that, coupled with today’s episode, it would appear the move could wind up being more permanent.

COMINGS AND GOINGS
Adams made his Y&R debut on November 4, 2025 as the successor to Rory Gibson who last played Noah on-screen in April of 2023. Earlier in 2025, Gibson took over the role of Michael Corinthos on Genera Hospital replacing Chad Duell, who stepped away from the part after 15 years.
Braun who played Adam’s mother on Days of Our Lives when she was Ava Vitali and he was Tripp Dalton, first appeared on Y&R back on October 14, 2025, where we soon learned she had become Noah’s lover as the new character, Sienna Bacall. It should be noted, Adams was on contract with the number #1 soap, while Braun has been on recurring status.
With Josh Griffith now exited as head writer of The Young and the Restless, and the newly announced co-head writing team of Jamey Giddens and Dan O’Connor having taken his place and starting their new tenure this week, it will be interesting to see how the duo resets the show, and if a Noah and Sienna return is in the cards for the future or not.
So, what do you think about the seeming departures of Lucas Adams and Tamara Braun from The Young and the Restless? Weigh-in via the comment section. But first, check out our recent live chat with Tamara and Lucas on the Michael Fairman Channel.
Rosie O’Donnell revealed that she plans to head back to a seat at the table of ABC’s morning talk show The View.
The announcement came during Monday’s episode of The Tangle Podcast where she shared she will participate in “in whatever way they want” her or “just as a guest” for its upcoming 30th season.
The View’s season 30 will kick-off this fall in September. O’Donnell explained, “They’re bringing back all the hosts, I think. And, you know, I’m pretty proud of that show, what it’s become and how it really speaks to the people and to politics.”

ROSIE ON HER PREVIOUS GO-ROUNDS ON THE VIEW
As fans of The View know, O’Donnell famously had two different one-year stints on the talk show in 2007 and again in 2014- 2015. She often feuded with then co-host Elizabeth Hasselbeck.
However, during her discussion with host, Kyle Ridley on The Tangle Podcast, O’Donnell also noted she often had tense moments with longtime moderator and anchor, Whoopi Goldberg.
O’Donnell also expressed, “Many, many people got the short end of the stick there. It was, you know, it was a factory where people were being churned in and out and their tenuous security, nobody got to be calm. It also was a show at the time that was run by a man. A show created by a woman, for women, about women, and the man was deciding what we should talk about. And that didn’t sit right with me, you know.”
Back in 2023, Brooke Shields had asked Rosie on her podcast, Now What? with Brooke Shields, about how she felt on her two stints at The View and all the controversy that surrounded it. Rosie at that time, stated, “I know this, it’s not the best use of my talent to get in a show where I have to argue and defend basic principles of humanity and kindness. It was not something I’d ever do again.”
You can check out the clip with Rosie and Kyle Ridley discussing her return to The View in some form for its upcoming 30th season below.
Then weigh-in: Would you be excited to see Rosie, even for a one-day or a week guest stint on the upcoming celebratory season of The View, or not so much? Let us know via the comment section.

I do not watch B&B, but I know Heather very well as Victoria on Y&R. I watched LUCIFER last night. Simply loved it. It is so refreshing for me to watch the “supernatural” without being turned off. So, I am sure I will enjoy seeing Heather ….exciting!!
CeeCee I didn’t watch simply because of the name I so agree it can be very disturbing and exasperating watching these types of shows
Hey, dav,
That’s just it; LUCIFER was not what one would expect it to be. The twist is; the character who plays Lucifer, is sort of a ‘good’ guy, who wants to help people…..interesting! Well, last night’s episode was. Who knows if the theme will continue in this vein.
As yourself, I do not like THE WALKING DEAD, or gore of any kind.
Heeeeyyyy!!
LUCIFER fan, here!
I want to sleep with the devil !!! 😉 heh
Lol. I don’t blame you, Suzie Q. Lucifer is soooo hot!!!! Just don’t tell my husband!
You can su just lay your head on your pillow and say goodnight to yourself. LOL
Hey there, ladies…..As an aside here…if permitted…..the seemingly most appreciated Mr. Ellis was formerly featured as “Garrrrry!” on the sassy Britcom “Miranda,” which starred Miranda Hart…It was a wickedly funny brew of all sorts of saucy stuff, and I would highly recommend it for those who have enjoyed Tom’s talents stateside on Lucifer….it shows a much less serious, yet completely charming, facet to this man! (“SUCH FUN!” If you check out the series, you will completely understand my reference to this oft-used buzzphrase.) Later all!
This triangle should never even have been written or even contemplated in the first place. So so sick of Brooke Logan. Really she needs to go… there is no purpose for her at all.
You have over stayed your welcome Brooke….
I am tired of the endless B&B triangles, quick marriages, and misguided romances and REPEATED mistakes. Katie and Bill as a power couple are so interesting and filled with story possibilities beyond his affair with Brooke. Katie and Bill are attractive, smart, exciting, spirited… they are publishing magnates in a major world city! Give them adventures, romance, danger. THAT is the stuff of good soap opera. Maybe a little Nick & Nora fun? As for Brooke, she should enjoy a real romance and remarry Eric and become the matriarch of the story and a wheel in the business. I would like to see her become strong, not written to be dependent on a man or a relationship. It appears there is no Brooke-Ridge end game and that is fine by me.
I hate this repeat story line with Brooke and Bill. My God with her money she should be traveling , there must be places she’s never been. Maybe she could find a man that didn’t belong to another woman esp. her own sister. Maybe she should just marry Eric again . I love Katie and Bill together and he needs to get a grip on reality. He’s just an old horn dog and Brooke is like a dog in heat all the time.
I agree so past time for another Stephanie or and Sally. .KKL would be a great Stephanie 2.0
Iakovos…like your ideas for Brooke/Eric/Katie/Bill. Sounds like fun, and there’s enough self-destruct, learning curve going on with everybody else.
LOL KKL isn’t going anywhere soon. .worn out her welcome. .she’s a veteran staple of the show. .smh
lol… ok… we all have a right to our opinions…so what is it you like best? Her constantly speaking in whispers or her crying in every episode? This character never learns from her mistakes… lies, betrayal of her own sister…old dog in heat.
I agree with Iakovos, they should put her with Eric and send her to Paris to model lingerie or whatever it is they want us to believe…
Sorry but KKL and John McCook ARE 2 of the BIG 4 and they will decide when they want to go. The show was centered around The Forrester and Logan families when the Bell Family started it. It was also centered around fashion and the writers have forgotten that also. KKL and John will stay until they decide they want to go lke SF and RM did. Its just too bad that the writers don’t give either of the decent NEW story VS the recycling that keeps happening.
Stephanie is gone. .Sally Spectra is gone. .it’s time for someone to pick up the mantle and it should be Brooke. .she learned at the hands of the master. .literally. .Stephanie was always knocking her this way and that. Quinn is a cartoon caricature and Steffi is just a bumbling bully. .who stumbles into creating near death and death scenarios for other people. .who does that lol
I totally agree. This show needs to get BACK to basics. I don’t think Quinn is in ANY league with the likes of Sheila or Morgan as villains on the show. RS talents are being wasted with this stupid Liam story-If and when they decide to have her sleep with him-Everyone better not say its OK-ITS GROSS. Steffy is fine but the thing I cannot stand is that Ridge is NOT a Forrester-He is HALF a Forrester by marriage. Sick of folks saying otherwise. I wish writers would get that to the forefront in this NEW Rick VS Ridge battle. Ridge IS NOT Eric’s son at all-ITS IN NAME ONLY.
GLAD SHE LIKES CANADA…..WHY DO SOME OF THESE ACTORS ALWAYS HAVE TO INVOLVE POLITICS..?????? DO NOT DO THEMSELVES ANY FAVORS…..
Like it or not, she has a point! Trump is far too dangerous for this country.
You knew it was coming with Katie/Brooke/Bill. The soap gods just can’t help themselves. And after seeing the reveal today between Brooke and Katie you just know it won’t be pretty. Maybe Katie can pick up some tips from Lucifer on payback while in Vancouver. The new show was very entertaining. It followed the mini X-Files part two in my market. Big TV night in my home!
hi Rose..
We need some ”X-Files” in our soaps!!!! Some ”Lucifer” too!
((X-Files– I’m hording the 6 episodes for one great uninterrupted binge watch!
can’t hardly wait!!
@su….Would Tom Ellis not have made an excellent Valentin Cassadine?
Lucifer was AMAZING-You don’t want to like it (camp factor) but you do..LOL
Loved the show today with Brooke and Katie scenes. Heather is so believable in every story she does and beautiful as well
I love watching Heather Tom. She was good on the y & r and she is good on BB. Keep up the good work Heather.
Heather Tom and KKL are such powerhouse actresses and I love them both. Even though I miss Heather as Victoria on the Y&R, which I barely watch anymore due to all the changes, I love watching Heather on B&B…Heather is such a top notch actress…Her scenes when she first found out about Bill and Brooke…WOW, how tears came to my eyes.
I do not give a crap about her politics I will be happy to inform her Donald Trump is no different then anyone else in power deal with it. She is a great actress stay with that myself I follow the Prince of Peace Jesus Christ the only way I can get thru the madness our family just hangs on to each other . She is a hell of an actress!
Love Heather Tom great talent she was powerful this week
