BREAKING NEWS: Update on Daytime Emmys from Romanovich!
As previously reported Associated Television International’s Jim Romanovich was going to have some updated news on IF The Daytime Emmys will be televised this year, and what decision has been agreed upon by NATAS, a broadcaster. and ATI as the production entity who has the option again this year to produce the telecast. Romanovich told On-Air On-Soaps the following exclusively:
Romanovich on Daytime Emmy Update: “As of today, I can tell you that if we go forward, I have a television offer for the event in prime time nationwide, PLUS a second run option on a sister broadcaster should we opt for this. We are still awaiting NATAS’ final decision about the venue and the concept. Oh, yes. There IS a concept that will be a first for the Daytime Emmys. If they agree, we’re in business. If they don’t agree, then they have a place selected that will most likely be for a non-televised event. It will then be our choice as to whether we want to produce it for television or not because ultimately when people see the show, they’re going to judge the production which will have our stamp all over it.
People constantly ask me if this will be the last Daytime Emmys. As far as an event, I doubt it. As far as a television event, it depends. I can’t imagine anyone doing and risking what we do in order to make this happen. With that being said, these last two days I’ve seen something great happen. There’s a buzz about the Daytime Emmys with sponsorships and with the broadcasters that are in direct response to the renaissance we brought to last year’s show. What was dead in early 2009, was shown to be very much alive that August. This week, I have seen the reaction to the Daytime Emmys as not just being alive, but now regarded as a thriving event. A big deal! This, however, doesn’t guarantee a 2011 televised event. Many things have to happen with the 2010 event of which I think we’ve got covered that are ready to go as soon as we’re given the word. But the biggest factor, fans aside, is the daytime community itself. They have to support this. They can’t toss it aside and not show up or dismiss it in the press. That negativity is like kerosene for the press. I have never looked at the Daytime Emmys as a competition as I really don’t care who wins. If we’re on TV, we all win, right? Let’s celebrate the fact that we’re here, we’re having a good time, and we’re not going anywhere. Not this year. So, I’m appealing to my friends at ALL of the daytime shows to support us in supporting them IF having this on television is important to them. But if 2010 is the last televised event with us involved and it happens how we want it to happen, it will be a fitting end to a remarkable era.”
You know, The Daytime Emmys have a better cliffhanger going on then some of the soap operas February sweeps storylines! To be continued…
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 have a sinking feeling that this will be the last year of televised Emmy Awards, and maybe, not even this year.
Who or what can we blame on the demise of some Soaps, and lack of interest in others? Is it just the end of a cycle of make-believe? Is the Internet drawing Soap viewers away? General Hospital has produced some darn good episodes during February Sweeps. If Soaps are forced out of daytime, would there be a home for them on primetime channels? And I’m not talking about re-runs on top of re-runs. I don’t have the answer. Does anyone?
I hope this years emmys broadcast is better thought out than last years. I’m sorry, but the extremely long song and dance routines by Vanessa Williams and the fashion show were just rediculous and lame. It took away time from what was really important. Guiding Light’s tribute was what I mainly tuned in to see because I had watched it my whole life, and they were robbed. I think they need to rethink their view of what the average daytime viewer really tunes in to see.
I agree with Betsy Knapp, I’ve had that same sinking feeling about the future of daytime dramas (soaps) for quite a long time now. The genre seems to be under attack for some reason. In times like these we need an escape from reality (suspend disbelief, call it a well-deserved time-out, if you will). Just don’t call it “Game Over”. I read recently from several different sources, that production costs, are a major sticking point for daytime dramas DOOL, ATWT, AMC and others to continue to be made. Well, someone mentioned cutting the 1-hour running times to 30 minutes. That, in itself should reduce costs, keep people doing the work they love and keep the fans entertained. It is a good place to start, in my opinion.
