UPDATED: Look for a new man to enter Nikki Newman’s (Melody Thomas Scott) life on The Young and the Restless just in her time of need. Brian Gaskill, who has appeared in numerous soap operas, is joining the cast of the top rated CBS daytime drama.

According to the latest issue of TV Guide, the new year will bring the character of Seth to the Genoa City canvas as played by Gaskill, Seth is said to be, “a man that Nikki meets at her AA meeting.”  A rep for Y&R had shared that Gaskill’s first airdate is Monday, January 8th and that the actor will appear over several episodes.

Hopefully, Nikki can find some emotional support from Seth, who we hear is supposed to be a ‘good guy’ to help her fend off her demons when Aunt Jordan (Colleen Zenk) and Claire (Hayley Erin) forced an IV of booze down her veins, which put her into her latest spiral.  Gaskill told TV Guide, “Melody has been incredibly inviting and kind, a joy to work with. It feels amazing to be back (working on a soap set).”

For those may recall, Gaskill has an extensive soap resume appearing as: Bobby Warner on All My Children, Rafe Kovitch on Port Charles, Oscar Marone on The Bold and the Beautiful, B.J. Green on As the World Turns and Dylan Lewis on Guiding Light.

Now the question becomes, will Seth truly help Nikki? Will something more happen between the two of them in 2024? Stay tuned.

Let us know what you think of Y&R casting Brian Gaskill in Nikki’s alcoholism storyline via the comment section below.

Just so they don’t have them get involved romantically! Nikki needs to stick with The Mustache for the long haul!

I really would like to think that Victor and Nikki are a little too old to be playing bedhopping games with anyone anymore but you never know….

Old not dead!

What? Aunt Jordan and Claire gave alcohol to Nikki through an IV? Damn, that’s almost as sick as making somebody pregnant with a turkey baster against their will. I love Brian Gaskill. I remember him from AMC, ATWT and Guiding Light, the soaps I watched faithfully until they went off the air. Now that Soap Opera Digest is gone, so is my connection to the soaps but I will always love them and the genre from a distance. I wish Brian a long run on Y&R (I was thrilled to hear its been renewed!) and I’m sure he’ll have amazing chemistry with Melody Thomas Scott but I certainly hope the writers don’t forget that you’re not supposed to hook up with somebody you meet in an AA meeting. Nikki will certainly be at her most vulnerable and I think writing in an attraction and how to deal with that would certainly be interesting. Let’s just hope all that is addressed. And that Seth is somehow related to Ashland (Robert Newman). Gotta love a soapy twist!

It’s not as bad as creating a baby clone of yourself and then giving it aging medication to catch up to your age….Reva Shane!

Really great news. It’s been far too long since we’ve seen Brian. Looking forward!!

Rumours i am hearing that aunt Jordan, Colleen Zenk will be back in a few months.Love Nikki Newman as a drunk lol. Melody is a wonderful actress, also Colleen is a badass. Love her as aunt Jordan.

Brian’s air time will last as long as Aunt Jordan and Ashland’s recast… The fact is these are cameo from long gone soap actors, nothing long term. Y and R doesn’t even give 90% of their hired cast air time.

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

Published

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

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.
