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

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 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.

yes!!!!! certainly yes!!!!
I would love to see Charles Shaughnessy return full time with a great storyline to Days Of Our Lives. Cool photo. Thanks for posting!
I think it would be absolutely amazing if they would be able to find a way to work Charles’ “Shane Donovan” character into the show permanently. I’ve missed seeing him on DOOLs as I know all of his fans have.
I for one cannot wait to see Shane Donovan back on Days of Our Lives terrifically portrayed by Charles Shaughnessy. I wish so much that Days of Our Lives would sign Charles on to play Shane as Bo and Abe could use some help in Salem getting rid of the bad guys! I would love to see Shane working on reuniting with Kimberly. I would like to see Andrew and Jeannie all grown up. I would like to see Charles and James Scott together in a scene, I would bet they’d be terrific playing off of each other.
of course he should come back to days so should hes daughter eva
Please bring Shane and Kim back long term…There’s so much potential for a great storyline with these two. It’s endless
I would love to see Shane and Kim come back to the show long term!!
i would also love to see them back full time.they were the heart and soul of the show.
I would love it if shane and kim came back on DAY OF OUR LIVES
I had not seen DOL for over 10 years but I have been watching for the past two weeks since I heard Charles Shaughnessy (Shane) would be returning for a few episodes. I would love to see Shane return and give us over 40 crowd a reason to return.

yes bring them back for good …….
I woulde love to see a story line with Kim and Shane getting back together.
It would be the answer to all my fantasies to see Shane return with Kimberly (Patsy) to repair the damage the writers did to them in the 90’s! No one has ever matched their chemistry and passion (or ever will!) Bring back Shane and Kim!!! https://www.ipetitions.com/petition/shanekim/
I would love to see Charles Shaughnessy and Patricia Pease back on DOOL and working on a reunion. The fans haven’t forgiven the writers for breaking them up and this is the perfect time to make amends!!! Their chemistry is unmatched ~ they are magic together!!!
Yes! Absolutely, I’d love to see both Patsy and Charles return to DOOL on a longer term basis. I haven’t watched the show in about 20 years but I’d be eager to return as a viewer if Patsy and Charles returned for a story that thoughtfully and responsibly reunited Kimberly and Shane and addressed the issues that led to their separation. In light of how things ended between Kimberly and Shane, there are numerous avenues to pursue from a storyline perspective. Kimberly’s trust issues, Shane’s weaknesses, and the interferring role of Shane’s job on the relationship should be sufficient to get them started! 😉
I would love to see Shane and Kimberly back on Days of Our Lives, long term, as in forever! This couple was the best daytime had ever seen. No other couple has came close. Shane and Kimberly are THE Super Couple of daytime. Enough said.
YES! Charles Shaughnessy returning as Shane will make me start watching again. 🙂
47 Year old male here. My Aunt got me hooked on Days when I was in High School in the 1980’s. I loved all the Super couples back them, including Bo and Hope and Justin and Adrienne and especially Kim and Shane.
I am hoping for somewhat of a reunion as they are both will be returning for Alice’s funeral. Crossing my fingers.
Would love to see them come back on a regular basis.
I think it would be AMAZING to see Shane and Kim on their full time. They are truly one of the best couples EVER!!!!!!!!
Bring back Kim and Shane for Days 45th Anniversary and have them get remarried in Salem. You will increase your ratings by 200% with a Shane and Kim wedding. We loved Kim and Shane they were the best superr couple of all time.
YES INDEED!! I WOULD START WATCHING DAYS AGAIN IF CHARLES CAME BACK. HE WAS MY FAVORITE!!! KIM AND SHANE WERE THE BEST COUPLE!
i would love to see charles and patsy return. i stopped watching when they left- watch again last year for alice hortons funeral. days would have another viewer if they brought both of them back
i agree with everyone please bring patsy and charles back full time- havent watch days since they left.
Bring Charlie and patsy back long term and give them a loving s/l and no breakup s
