Now, are you looking forward to this Y&R 50th anniversary celebration special? Comment below.
Can’t wait !I’ve been a loyal Y&R fan for over 40 years. One of my sisters and I would role play some of the scenes but really exaggerate the drama.
Very special show for many years wish we could get that magic back ! But keeping in the spirit happy 50th
I’ll be there, front and center! I know we’ve been discouraged with lack of good SLs but like family,you don’t just dump them when they displease you.
WOW—Violet!! You’re right—-We all have members in our own families with whom tempers flair—-but, we love each other.—-except for Diane—-is she a narcissist or what? That dream of hers truly is a fantasy. All about her.LOL
No one on earth could ever take my mother’s place—-This only proves how deluded and off-the-wall-this woman is—bad news is on the way—beware GC.
Happy Happy 50th—❤️
Celia, if I believed in reincarnation then I must have been a real s.o.b. in my previous lives to have to suffer today’s Diane-centric fantasy episode. What horrors! I knew Phyllis would revert to reckless, destructive mode again but the more that Jenkins woman is rammed down our collective throats, I can’t really blame her. I found MYSELF trying to text Jeremy today, saying “I’m in, too.” Pathetic.
Here you go again, Soaphound—cracking me up—-just getting into bed and laughing my head off, as I read your comment—-ever tell you my husband thinks I’m a little crazy? He’s looking at me weirdly.
How old is Diane supposed to be?
Oh, man—I’m with you—-can’t wait for a Jeremy/Phyllis “partnership”—-in more ways than one —-this will be the next hot couple, putting everyone else to shame.
Any luck getting through to Stark? LOL
Happy 50th Y&R
Derrick, you are a fan too!!! Another reason to love you on Eyewitness News!
I have been watching the Y&R fo”r 50 years! I would watch with my mom when I’d be home from school or work. When I would get home from work, my mom would tell me what happened on the show, then one day when I came home my son came running up to me saying “Mamam Cricket got raped and Michael got caught!” That was the last time I had him watch the show, he was too young for watching then repeat it. He started watching TV with my dad instead.
Then on days when I didn’t have work, I’d watch with my mom and dad (my son was in school at this time) and my dad started ‘talking’ to the cast. While watching the show. He would complain about some of the clothes, and how many days in a row an actor/actress would be wearing the same clothes I was trying to tell him that even though in ‘real life’ it was a different day however it was the same day on the show.
I still cry to this day when there are flashbacks showing the Great Jeanne Cooper. Nrs. Chancellor was the type of hard, no holds bar down woman I wanted to be like. Same thing when they show even a picture of Kristoff St. John. Even after all these years, my heart breaks for both of those two people. They were such a huge part of my life, they were ‘family’ to me.
Then finding Doug Davidson – Paul Williams is on TWITTER! WOW and then Eric Braedon is too! They like my comments!
I like most fans am still upset that Doug Davidson isn’t on anymore, and we are to accept the fact that Christine isn’t shown with her husband. The rest of the Williams family? What about Snapper and his family?
I also remember when the theme song used to be sung at the beginning of the show. I still sing those words every day at 12:30 pm est when the show starts.
I was a wreck learning when Jerry Douglas was killed on the show as well as when he really passed away. Another chunk of my heart fell apart then,
I’m 64 years old now, unfortunately living in a nursing home (I’m the youngest resident living here) and everybody knows not to bother me or call me when the show starts until it’s over.
Since I can’t afford to stream anything, I’m hoping Y&R stays on CBS all the time. I’ve already put a note on my calendar to watch the Y&R in prime time to celebrate their 50th year of being on TV. I wish my parents were still alive so we could watch it together. I have now taken over when my dad would ‘talk’ to the characters, complain about certain outfits and when do these people go to work, and I can hear my dad’s voice in my head, and my mom telling him to be quiet already or leave the room.
Thank you to the wonderful Bill Bell and his family for this show and for allowing us fans to feel we are members of the entire family.
Question-Sharon,
You a fan/watching for 50yrs/half a century-
Did the YOUNG and the restless actually have young people??
cuz if it did they’re all senior citizens on the cast now.
Were the characters then actually young and restless?
LOL, SusieQ—According to my grandmother? Yes!! They were young and restless–especially Nikki–ohh, boy, was she ever restless!! ❤️
Celia,
Your grandmother is very right but as I said to Susie I can relate to those people who’ve grown and aged right along with me! Most of the younger ones, not so much, especially Summer lately being such a spoiled brat getting Grandma to help break up her dad and Sally, which I’m not a fan of either but he doesn’t butt into her lovelife.
Well, Violet, I fit more in your circle than you think—my grandmother introduced us ( grandchildren) to soaps—-she took care of us while our parents worked. My ideals and mores have always been old school.
So, nanna’s word was law—if she liked a character, we liked the character and vice versa. I don’t remember storylines because I was too young—-also, we were in school—but, my interest in Y&R really started when Nick’s and Sharon’s love story began.
I agree about Summer—-i don’t like the way she treats her mother—-no matter what, Phyllis means well, albeit intrusive—she’s still her mother.
As far as Sally, I can sort of understand—-Sally has a long road ahead to prove herself—-She was pretty obnoxious in the past. I can’t really blame Summer for being protective of her father; considering what a beguiled fool Nick is, at this point. It’s obvious Dummer does not trust Sally.
Aside—-I like Melody in jeans, too. Did you notice her new hair style? love it!!
HaHaHaHaHa—-you know I meant Summer. right. Violet? LOL—I mean “S” is right next to “D”—-I should sport shorter fingernails??
But, if you think Dummer is a better alternative—go for it. LOL.
I think she’s a little stuck-up, albeit I sort of like her —just a tad unapproachable.
Celia,
I had to read and re-read and then saw the second post. I am still laughing as I thought you meant Dummer as in Dumb and Dumber, but had fun trying to figure out which was which. I thought you might be referring to Nikki being as I guess she’ll be helping Summer tear Nick away from Sally. Gee, look what a slip of a finger can cause.
Oh, Nikki changes her hair a lot, so really didn’t notice but I have noticed something for years that never changes. It’s the cutest smile even at her age, if you haven’t caught it yet, it’s when she smiles and laughs full on and you see this big smile on the right side of her mouth showing her teeth. If you don’t know what I’m speaking of already, maybe you’ll catch it. As a young girl talking and flirting I guess you’d call it beguiling but I think it’s still very charming. Sorry for going on so.
LOL, Violet—I should have left it “as is”—but, Summer is not so dumb–Actually, after today’s episode ( which I just watched ), the “title” is more fitting for Phyllis. I can’t believe I’m saying this because I’ve always respected her “smartness”, for lack of a better word. She and Stark hatched up the most idiotic stratagem–they’re supposedly such astute co-conspirators. They’re doing exactly what was done to Stark–How hard is that to figure out? More Dumb and Dumber? Nick and Adam.
Then, there’s Nate and unsexy Victoria, who is sooo not a minx. No coquette there. She was never a femme fatale nor will she ever be one. Did you notice that creepy half-smile at the end of her conversation with Nate? She’s a powerful, worldly business woman—is she that hard-up? Nate? Ewww–
Speaking of smiles; yes, Melody’s smile is mysteriously fetching—-a tease!
The reason I mention her hair is because what we are presently looking at is her own hair. It has a glow and the ends do not look dry, like hay–more commonly pertaining to wigs.
No worries—I am just as guilty about going on and on—I’d keep writing, but my little Rosie needs help with her homework.
Celia,
I was still laughing last night about that D&D thing , my cat gave me a dirty look and tore off. I’m afraid she’ll have a nervous breakdown . Ha,ha!
I’m still wondering why Kyle and Summer never pursued questioning Phyllis as to to how she got the J.Stark info of him going to Paris in the first place , and then them confirming it. It would be to pat and suspicious for me. Jack did say it could be a trap. Stark wants Phyllis to get the two personal items of Diane’s, wonder if one will be the engagement ring? Yes, Victoria is hot for Nate and doesn’t have any pride in chasing after him. He’s an out and out liar right to Elanie’s face, who I think is looking unattractive these days, stress or otherwise?
SuOOO ,
Sticking my nose in here! Yes,Celia is right. Nicki was very restless, had a couple of husbands nd a baby before she was 30. Jill, another one, playing with Jack, marrying his father, etc, etc. Mrs. C already pushing 60, her mantra “I’m going to live until I die” and that she did. The booze, the men, her escapades, but I think we all loved her. I still love these characters, not the younger ones like Sally, Summer, Kyle,Maraih and her boring wife, whom I hear is thankfully leaving. There are too many of these 20-30 age group for me and I find them the most boring. Being a senior citizen myself, I just can relate to them better I guess.
Sharon Wallace,
I can relate to just about all you said about Y&R even to your son seeing and hearing too much at a young age. I had the same thing happen with my granddaughter years ago so from then on, didn’t watch when she was there.
I miss Doug Davidson too and his sleuthing as only he could do, unlike this grundgy Chance. Do you remember that big old steel thing he used as a briefcase? And Lynn who was so crazy about him? I really felt bad last week when we couldn’t see a reunion with his daughter.so many memories. Hope you enjoy the big 50th Celebration, I know I’m looking forward to it.
Finding it odd that Mark Grossman and Courtney Hope were missing from this CBS special (50th Anniversary of Y & R). What gives?
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.
