Eileen Davidson (Ashley, Y&R, Kristen DAYS) came home for Y&R’s 40th anniversary, and so too is her on-screen sis, the beloved Beth Maitland! Beth will return in her role as Traci Abbott. The actress took to her facebook page to announce the good news stating, “Wait….what? A plane ticket to Genoa City for Traci? I think yes.” Beth also stated she thinks her episodes will air in late April!
On-Air On-Soaps also can confirm her visit after speaking today with The Young and the Restless executive producer, Jill Farren Phelps and head writer, Josh Griffith for a special interview that will be posted next week in celebration of the shows 40th anniversary and much more!
So Y&R fans, are you excited to see Beth Maitland come home to Y&R? Let us know!
You’d think drucilla’s spirit would show up for y&r’s 40th anniversary given all of victorial rowell’s contributions to y&r’s ratings. But she was very vocal abt hollywood’s racial issues w/c must not have helped her career. There are a plethora of lgbt storylines but there’s resistance to racial diversity. It’s not only w/ daytime soaps. bravo’s real housewives franchise is pretty much considered the new soap operas what w/ those housewives being household names and getting more publicity than daytime actors. The highest rated bravo soap is rh of atlanta w/c is full of African american personalities. You’d think that would encourage more racial diversity from soaps. But nope bec majority of soap operas from daytime to primetime to reality tv shows like the rh franchise have majority white chars. There would be more racial diversity on soaps if hollywood was primarily abt money. But that’s not hollywood’s priority. The Bible’s ratings are the highest for cable. There should be more racial diversity much like there should be more religious projects from hollywood. But of course hollywood is against more religious projects much like it’s against more racial diversity.
Wow here we go again with the racism junk. I can’t figure out where you are coming from. Like many I too would like to see more diversity in all media and soaps certainly could do better but you have to stop whining about this. It is not a conspiracy. Victoria Rowell hasn’t been brought back to Y&R not because she is black (there have been many black actresses on that show since anyway) but because she pissed off too many people on that show and reports of her attitude are pretty well known. I loved Drucilla but Rowell was difficult to deal with and many of her co-stars simply don’t want her back. Those same co-stars have no trouble with other black actors so lets leave the racism stuff out of this please. It wouldn’t kill Y&R to have a decent LGBT storyline either, where is this plethora of LGBT storylines you talk about? There are certainly more black characters/storylines than LBGT, not that we need to keep count but why not diversity FOR ALL and not just the one group you care about. Bring on the blacks, the Asians, the gays, give me some Latino and how about some little people too? Why not, all should be welcome and represented. Lets just keep the religious stuff to a minimum, its way too toxic and has caused enough damage to society already.
Well put! I could not have said that better.
Great response. Id like to see more diversity as well, and an overweight couple in love, handicapped actors and those with learning disabilities. BC does need to stop whining like you say because BC isnt going to win any votes from us by constantly repeating herself.
love sharon and adam together, dru and neil and all the abbotts.
Since you like repeating yourself so will i. Sometimes we get tired of hearing the same old broken record being played over and over again, especially when the needle gets stuck in the groove. Maybe if you go back and reread some of your own post you might just see some racism there too. If you dont see then you are blinded by your own criticism.
MY FAVORITES ARE SHARON AND DRUCILLA. THEY NEED VICTORIA ROWELL BACK. THINGS I DONT LIKE IT CHELSEA,CHLOE OR LESLIE AT ALL. NOT EVEN AVERY ALL THAT MUCH. BUT GLAD TRACY IS COMING BACK 🙂
Ahhh Y&R bringing back old favorite vets..
Guess whose coattail Jill is ridding on? (clue; Name starts with a FV)
Y&R will copy GH..
FV and RC makes it happen to greatness and Jill follows their lead LOL 🙂
yeah…. until they bring back Brenda Dickson… and Sean Young… only then will classic camp hoopla it up….
LOL….
when the #1 soap shoots pheromones outa the TV set… will they render me still.
This post is about BETH MAITLAND…she is white! She is a part of the heart and soul of Y and R. She brings a warmth and tenderness to the part of Traci that the show always needs. I‘m not sure why people are ranting about diversity…the show has recently hired two new black actors, significantly beefed up the part of previously under used Lesley Michaelson, hired two new Hispanic characters…and surprise…not many of these new additions are taking off as hoped. Let‘s enjoy Beth coming back and hope she gets some good stuff to play. She herself is a minority…she is a REAL woman…not an anorexic size zero.
I would hope Traci would encounter Lauren and tell her off about Fen bullying Jamie. The scenes would be great if there would be flashbacks to when Lauren bullied Traci over her weight. Lauren needs to fully know how Jamie felt being bullied by Fen and Summer.
AWESOME STORYLINE
In ONE,word, YES!!!!_____
Beth is a lovely lady and Traci is a great character… and I am excited to have her back for as long as we get her!!!
How about a comment about Traci’s homecoming? I would so enjoy having this character on the canvas, the actress on contract. Traci brings something to Genoa City that does not exist day to day. Traci is a conscience and, if she never would be given major storyline, she could be an integral part of the community and a surprise element to plots.
I am so glad that Traci is coming back. I just wish they would make her a full time castmember again.
Yay !! I always love when Beth/Traci is on…..she has such heart.
Love Beth maitland!
I always love when Traci shows up into town. She is the voice of reason in the Abbott family, and if always a joy to see!
She is the glue that holds the family together as Abby once told her. And as much as I love John Abbott he is dead why don’t we use Traci as the voice of reason.
I LOVE Beth Maitland….
Geez! I saw her and Jordan Clark… ie: of GL… playing husband and wife… on “The Grove”… internet series…. and just beamed….
how natural…. and pleasant… to see her emote… her emodiment… she reasonated… so much for US… on screen…. and she’s grown…
I celebrate the Abbotts…. they are Y&R.
yes, I am excited about her coming back…..
she is a beautiful person!!!
and I do love her as a person and an actress…..
maybe while she is back on the show this time, she can get weight lost program
going on the young and the restless….
a lot of the skinny viewers who are watching ‘YTR” need to realize that weight lost
is not as easy people think it is and it could be medical.
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.
