On Friday’s episode of The Young and the Restless, Neil (Kristoff St. John) got an eyeful!  Suddenly, Neil’s sight returned to him as he was shocked and overjoyed to be able to see!

However, Neil was in for the shock of his life when he catches his wife Hilary (Mishael Morgan), and his son Devon (Bryton James) going at it hot and heavy!

The big question is, what will Neil do with the Intel?  Will he tell the duo he walked in on them?  Set a trap for them? Turn to the bottle once again? Will he pretend he is blind to see exactly what has been going on behind his back since he lost his eyesight?

Watch the clip from Friday’s cliffhanger of the number one daytime drama after the jump! Then let us know, what you hope Neil does next? And, are you rooting for Hevon to be together?

OK-
That was the most predictable story of the past 5 years LOL!

From day one when Neil became blind I knew he would get his sight back and the first thing he would see would be Hillary and his son Devon in bed getting it on..
Campy- that is pure sappy Campy soap writing ..
The Y&R stories have been very campy..
I hope Pratt changes the camp to intrigue, if that would be possible ..

Really, did anybody not see that coming??

Fans demand Victoria Rowell as Drucilla. Enough now! Its about ratings and making fans stay with the show. They ONLY ONLY ONLY reason I am still with this show after 35 years is SHARON CASE as my favorite! WE fans dont care what Victoria did or said we want Drucilla back and dare they try to replace her its the last straw to a long time fan ! I already want to stop watching YR. Everyone loves BB, Days and GH better now. I am just waiting for this Chelsea thing to find out its Adam so he can get his son and find his as MM always said as Adam that can be seen in all the videos My true love is Sharon!!! Team Shadam!!!!! 🙂

I agree they never found Drucillas body in the first place. So how long are they going to wait. They keep having the right time to bring her back but never do.

I would like a recast of Drucilla, but not Victoria Rowell. Just not a fan of hers on or off screen. JMO

Yes Ruby, I love Sharon and love Shadam!

Dru definitely return…remember Phyllis and ShSharon was on the scene of her death….?????? $he could survive years of being lost…Malcolm did.

It was just announced today that Victoria Rowell is suing Sony/CBS. Rowell alleges CBS and Sony rejected her re-employment in retaliation for her speaking out on the need to increase the presence of African Americans in soap operas. She will never return now. Recast if anything, and that will make her more mad.

I know … HOWEVER, Neil’s scenes with Nikki today (believe it or not) finally got me to pay attention to Kristoff’s scenes again! This blindness story has gone on way too long. Finally some good stuff … a man/father scorned!

I loved their scenes together. Yes, I paid attention, too. Really, who could blame Neil?

Predictability doesn’t necessarily negate good story telling. I thought the scene was riveting and well acted.
Here’s what I envision–Neil to Lily–Honey, I have some good news and some bad news. What do you want to hear first?
Lily- Oh, the good news first!
Neil–Okay. The good news is that my sight came back and the bad news is I caught my wife having sex with my son. Oh…..and your husband knew about it all along.
THUD!

PLUS, Neil’s planning revenge…that’s good soap 🙂

IT’S ABOUT DAMN TIME!!!!!!!!!!

SERIOUSLY MR.PRATT??? Super lazy and lame plot point to bring Neil out of his blindness. You didn’t write that story but as a “better” writer this could have been done much more differently than the myriad of times it’s been done over the soap decades. What is the problem with thinking outside the box on a normal everyday level without getting outrageous??..So you don’t want them to know…then have smarmy Colin know where they are outside of Genoa City in a rendezvous..in a public place making out and Colin wants Neil to AT THE LEAST overhear their love talk…and he does…and at that moment of realization his sight returns and even COLIN doesn’t know it ..and he pretends he didn’t hear what he heard and he still can’t see and the drama would be much more better than pretending a bent key card still doesn’t beep and announce your entrance into a room whose door is so quiet Hilary and Devon could have been murdered on the spot and woke up in Glory none the wiser…UGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

The best thing Pratt could do as a follow up is make it a thought in Neil’s head..and then his sight DOES return but he can’t get the thought out his head of Devon and Hillary..and even though he feels guilty…he makes it up in his mind to lie and keep being blind and you have a whole other sweeps period before May just on the simple fact that Neil proves himself right. WAKE UP DUDE!!!..Stop thinking of umbrella disaster and think CHARACTER CHARACTER CHARACTER…not hiding somebody under rubble on a trailer for sweeps and the excitement is in finding out who…SO NOT THE DRAMA…

And in the process let Cane realize Neil can see and be Mr.Uptight Upright as usual and clap his trap and secretly anticipate Devon getting caught…”some of those Chancellor billions should have been mine anyway and all Devon is doing is squandering it away..getting blackmailed and duped into bad investments.”..”So you knew all along he was having an affair with that duplicitous ass tramp and you kept quiet…FOR WHAT CANE…FOR WHAT???”…”Because he’s a smug ass self centered bastard flaunting what should have NEVER been his. He got what was coming to him..Your father took time out of his life to raise a child whose mother didn’t want him and he threw it all back in Neil’s face…and not just once. You wanna make me the bad guy..you wanna tell me I should have spoke up…I didn’t …and I don’t regret it..not for one second…” See it’s difficult..but if you take the time to think a story through to drama and holding viewers…I’M OVER IT.

Pratt can make us happy and give us a happy Sharon with Adam and a happy Neil with his true love Drucilla. Now that is ratings that will be off the charts 🙂

Pratt hear our cry! SHARON and ADAM belong TOGETHER! I never EVER liked Chelsea from day one. Sharon and Adam for years had me excited to see The Young and The Restless. They just need him to come back to show he loves his son but as soon as he does he WILL go find as the role of Adam Newman can be seen in many videos he will find his true love Sharon. Infact Adam has always said “Sharon you can’t quit me!” He loves Sharon. STOP treating Sharon like a doormate!

David, I agree with much of your rant. You mention “swarmy Colin.”
Here’s my plea to Chuck Pratt–You have a class act, a true gem in Tristan Rogers.
Many fans followed him over to Y&R from GH eagerly awaiting his next great story. Now I realize he cannot forever play a high class, super duper spy forever but may he play someone intelligent, someone classy, someone worthy of this actor’s charisma and acting prowess? Instead they have him written as some low brow, sleazy con artist and not even a very good one at that. Please, impress viewers by giving Tristan some decent material–let him go head to toe with Victor and here’s a thought–let him win a few.

This storyline started so well but has become so boring and predictable.

Id like to see(pun) Neil go all ‘Lizzie Borden’ and take an ax to both of them…lol…but in the end he’ll pretend to be blind and play games with them, with them unaware he has seen an eyefull…lol

I hope it will be just games Neil will be playing, jimh. We drive through Fall River many a-time, and I always get the chills…LOL. I don’t like gore.we already have a resident nutso….kelly or Phyllis?

Im with you…im not a fan of gore(but i did once meet in person Al and Tipper…lol)…i hope Hiliary ends up preggers but not Devons child…let him or her be Neils!!!!!

I did state, many, many weeks ago that this scenario would unfold just as it did. Neil would suddenly get his sight back….and, Lo and behold…VOILA’…..what a kick in the arse, as my grandfather would say.LOL.
FOr once I was right. Yeayyyyy. Then again, all of you,most likely, thought the same thing! LOL.

Neil got an eyeful for sure! I think he may pretend to be blind to keep Hilary and/or seek revenge/set a trap. Should be good. Hopefully, because a lot of stuff with the Winters is boring.

He will continue to act blind, set them up and send them both to hell!

That’s what it looks like, Timmm.
Are all men this calm when they find out their spouse/mate has cheated on them? WOW, I would have yelled and screamed my head off. …taken his clothes; throw them out the window and kick him where it hurts…but, that’s just moi.

Men are definitely more subdued when it comes to this. Sounds like your husband better behave!

@Timmm.
Lol. My husband knows better. I have Viking blood running through my veins…LOL.
I just wonder how far Neil will go with this. I am glad he has, at least, confided in someone (Nikki). Perhaps Neil’s ‘predicament’ will be a distraction for her. Hopefully we won’t see her face all scrunched up in a confused stupor as often as we do.
For Neil to methodically conjure up a plan of revenge, he must , not only, have a steady hand, as it were, but also an iron determination.
Finally, a storyline that interests me!…..finally, a storyline steering me away from the Phyllis/Kelly/Jack insipid drama!….ugh.

For sure..
Campy campy campy !

It’s kind of hilarious in a dark and twisted way.

Soapy and sweet!

It was very predictable, who didn’t think it was going to happen like this? But it’s about damn time! Y&R seems to drag out their stories way too long (that music box madness, anyone?) so thank god this has finally happened. And I hope, whatever the outcome of the story is, it ends with Neil getting Dru back. She’s his one and only true love.

Props to Kristoff St. John for some great acting during a very difficult personal tragedy. Hmmm can we see a drunken Nikki and Neil in the sack???

Shelly…the I-D-E-A of Neil and Nikki in bed together????? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! But you know what…that would serve that stuffy-old D-R-A-G-O-N Victor right…LOL!!!!! Yep.

The only way Nikki and Neil would end up being in bed together is if Neil went blind again.

One never knows, Jaybird. These clandestine meetings between Nikki and Neil romancing the bottle, will probably lead them straight to a roll -in -the -hay in a drunken stupor. It’s nothing new to either of them.
I don’t understand how people can reach this age, this period in their lives and still make the same mistakes. What about life-lessons?

yay!!!! this storyline may be predictable but its classic good soap! lovng the chancellor business connection, getting jill and colin involved for selfish reasons!
dont care about devon but i hope hilary goes back to her nasty ways when everyone turns on her!
i hope leslie returns to help neil with the fallout and i hope lily turns to leslies bro tyler for the same! pls mr pratt can u bring back leslie and tyler for this!!!
lastly the neil and nikki scene in the bar was my fav scene recently after paul vs victor after dylan was attacked! great seasoned actors showing how its done!! thats true y n r !

Well at least Nikki has a new drinking buddy—but other than that I really not invested in this story. Never brought the idea that Neil could be so in love with this young thing, I think he got what he deserved for robbing the cradle in the first place. The only thing that might redeem this story for me is if I find out Hilary has been playing both of them all along– that she didn’t “change” and this was her ultimate plan to get back at Neil for leaving her mother to die alone in that hotel room.

Interesting, Mary. You could be on to something.
I frankly don’t see what she sees in Devon. He’s very unappealing in so many different ways. Neil may be older but he looks a lot better sans shirt than his scrappy son.

Hi, Harry,
The scrappy son lacks any kind of appeal because he’ s immature . I know he’s an adult, but due to his youthful appearance, I cannot take him seriously in this role.

That would make too much sense, Mary SF.

I agree with everything you said. One thing though, I am waiting (rolling eyes) for the who’s the daddy story to come out of this.

If this concept was truly fleshed out in the early writing stages it could have become something intriguing rather than gimmicky. The story (which I never ever liked) could easily mirror a Greek Tragedy, i.e. Oedipus. Oh, to think of the ways this might have been clever! Once again: writers, do you have degrees in English and creative writing?

I want Neil to pretend that he didn’t see them ; then set them up for an humiliating
fall. Something that ‘s spectacular!

That is in the making, Belle. Your wish was right on target.

Why should Neil be surprised? Devon slept with Tyra when she was with Neil.

Devon just needs to remember that you lose ’em like you get ’em….

THIS STORY WENT ON FOR WAY TOOOO LONG AND WAS PREDICTABLE……………..HOWEVER SOME GOOD ACTING TODAY BY NEIL!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree, Judy.

I know Kristoff was playing blind for months, but because the story was so god-awful and way too long, I didn’t care for the acting. HOWEVER, today’s episode, now that was acting! He and Nikki were actually fun to watch.

I think the worst part of the whole thing up until yesterday, was all this garbage happening behind/in front of a blind man’s face. That just made Neil look like such a pathetic loser and Neil is anything but a pathetic loser.

I also hope this puts some much needed angst between Saint Lily and Cane. They could stand to be apart for a good couple of months. I think they have used up all their “romantic getaways” for the duration of their coupling. That’s all they have them do – that and make out in the middle of the restaurant or do it on someone’s desk.

I must be a loner lately but I really like the writing and how it’s being played out. I think C.Pratt is doing a great job. No matter how Neil found out you know he would turn to the bottle just like Nikki did. I would like to see Neil with the actress that pretended to be Devon’s girlfriend. She was a great actress. I agree that Sharon is being treated like a doormat but who knows what’s in store for her. The days of Shadam & the magic of Orleans is gone with M.M. & we have to accept it. I think the new Adam/Gabriel is doing a fantastic job but I want to see him stay with Chelsea. I think it would make for a better story if Sharon was with Dylan. I’m so happy Sharon finally has a friend in Chelsea.

I liked it too, Nikki.
And I do think happier times await Sharon. I think Dylan and Betty Crocker are going to split and Dylan may be paired up with Sharon. The only time Steve Burton comes alive is when he’s talking to her.

Hi, Nikki.
I think Neil should relax. He just got his sight back, and wow…he had a lot to take in. Yes, he is out for revenge, but, I just can’t picture him as the vindictive type. He has been hurt, deeply, so, his ‘meek’ personality is a thing of the past.
However, to pair him with another much younger woman again? I don’t know….he hasn’t fared well so far with much younger women.
To be honest, I don’t want to see Dylan with anyone. I think his so over-extended ego will make a great bed-partner for him. That’s all he needs. He is in love with number one…himself. Sharon deserves a little happiness, but not with Steroido.
You have a good heart, Nikki. I, too, am glad Sharon has a friend in Chelsea….a buffer. Later.

Didn’t it seem like they are trying to test Sharon and Dylan lately? I have said that for a while now that Avery get pried away from Dylan. She drags him down. She was fun with Nick (but that is a credit to Joshua Morrow and his ability to act like a doofus).

I like Gwen too. Maybe Neil and Gwen will do like the movie SHATTERED and turn the tables on the cheaters. That would be fun.

My problem is I don’t like any of the characters in this triangle. It’s karma for Neil for being a cheater himself & marrying someone he doesn’t know & is too young for him. Then trying to saddle her down with a baby while he’s fidgeting around, newly blind. Sure it’s in sickness & health, but put the baby on the back burner til you & your wife are well-adjusted to your new blindness.
Devon a sh*t messing w/his dad’s wife & waxing on about love even though he was shagging what’s her name (twice!) just wks ago ,And Hilary, who shouldn’t have married him, talks about is Neil non-stop-before they start sucking each other’s faces off til they’re done & during pillow talk..Neil, Neil, Neil..”I feel so bad, but shag me again.”
I didn’t mind the reveal. It was cheesy and the sl did go on too long. The revenge them is the thing I don’t get. I get it, but not from this show. I’m a GH lifer, and I get their campy take on their sl’s. We fans understand the crazy writing. We’re in on it. I feel Mr. Pratt’s writing some campy stuff, but still trying to pass it off as fine art. Y&R did need some jolts, but the first thing he did was put Phyllis in a looney bin & have Sharon lose custody. Don’t even get me started on how he skipped the entire sl leading to the hearing. I’ll move on.

All the women are suddenly weak or dependent on a man. Weak: Phyllis, Hilary (meltdown in front of Neil), Sharon, Sage lets Gabe bash her & is looking kooky chasing Nick, Summer’s whining is non-stop, Chelsea’s moved Billy in & is putting up with his rude bashing of Adam, Victoria’s moving Ben in, Jill’s addicted to Colin, now Mariah’s a victim & has no where to live (not with Nick?) & moving in w/Kevin. Avery’s even dreaming about Joe. Phyllis is now moving in w/God…I mean, Victor & Vic didn’t even ask booze-bag Nikki, he “told” her..ouch. I won’t even get started on crazy Kelly. Weak women, dependent on men! Sad.

I want to add that I LOVE drunk Nikki and drunk Neil at the dive bar! I’ll tell you mine if you tell me mine! More, please! I have a bad feeling 1 of them will drive drunk and kill Cricket’s baby.

Cricket can do that all on her own. She is too obsessed with bringing Phyllis down to take care of her unborn baby. Check-up schmeck-up. She does not care enough for that unborn baby.

I guess I like predictability because I am so enjoying this story. I like the little twist yesterday when Neil and Nikki ended up in the same bar, and Neil told her everything. And I appreciated that Neil wasn’t made to look dumb – he quickly figured out that Cane has known all along. Didn’t expect that and I thought the acting was great. Now I’m waiting for what I consider to be the real payoff for this story, and that is when Lily finds out and especially when she finds out what Cane knew and when he knew it!!

Yeah, Annie…some showdown that will be.
I want Devon and Hillary to pay, and pay hard. My resentment toward these two surprises even me.

I hope Neil pursues Hillary in the bedroom and really wears her down and out so that she has no time or energy for Devon.

I also loved the scene between Neil and Nikki. Priceless.

I doubt Neil will have the stamina for all that ‘loving’, Mark….Viagra, anyone?…LOL.

It seems this is karma since a few years back Neil slept with Devon’s girlfriend.

Actually it was Devon who slept with Neil’s girlfriend Tyra. I guess that was just the warm-up for sleeping with Neil’s wife.

Yeah. Tyra was so beautiful. I did mention this earlier…couldn’t remember her name. I do remember that Devon’s little sister was in her guardianship….no karma here.

Lucas Adams and Tamara Braun Written Out of The Young and the Restless

Published

By

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 Says She Will Return to ‘The View’ During its Season 30

Published

Rosie O'Donnell

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.
