Darnell Kirkwood Gets Brash & Sassy!

The Young and the Restless has found their photographer for the Brash & Sassy line in Genoa City! After a casting call went out a few months ago, actor Darnell Kirkwood has nabbed the role of Jordan Wilde.
Jordan will interact with that Brash & Sassy crew of Cane (Daniel Goddard), Victoria (Amelia Heinle), Billy (Jason Thompson) and Jill (Jess Walton).
According to Soap Opera Digest, Darnell has already taped some scenes and will first emerge on to the canvas on the upcoming February 10th episode.
Some of Kirkwood’s other TV credits include roles on Burn Notice and Scorpion.
So, how will Jordan fold into the mix at Brash & Sassy? Comment below.
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.

Doesnt move the needle for me!
I think this character is supposedly suppos to have some back history with Lily ! Lord knows Cane and Lilly need something ! Yawn
too young to be an ex-boyfriend of Lilly’s. I dont know, to me, he is like that Ashley stalker Ravi, whats the purpose?
Went and looked up ages he is 27 CK is 29 also other pictures show him to be more mature looking will see just think Lilly and Cane need some pot stirring if they are going to continue on the show.
Relax, Kay. No one said he/she did not like it….we are discussing our feelings. Opining. Isn’t that the point? I would never stop watching, no matter what. Smile.
How did your volunteering go? It is fulfilling is it not? Does the body, mind and soul good.
Later, Kay.
I agree, Timmmy. Revolving door. Dylan isn’t even out yet, and already a new character is brough in.
Something will happen to Dylan– or so everyone will think.
As I said, the door is left open for an eventual Dylan return; whenever.
Stop it she has not fired anybody SB chose to leave probably he did not get the same cushy contract the dragon lady provided now relax take a deep breath give them a chance they have ten years of crap they have to sweep up! If actors can’t be patient then exit left she will get it straightened out it is not about YOU it is about the show
Y&R has always been slow character driven this is what she is getting back to if you do not like it for god sakes then turn it off I am thrilled that all of these characters are becoming themselves again is it slow hell yes but I am willing to sit by and watch them weave their magic! This is the writer who wrote Lauren being buried alive Cassie’s death etc etc ! Give her time
I’m rooting for a trip to Cougar Town with our favorite Glow worm…
If they wanted to bring in a “photographer with serious swagger,” why didn’t they just bring back Malcolm? Even if Shemar Moore wasn’t available, they could recast the character as he already has deeply established roots to the canvas, and could be involved in both the Brash & Sassy story and Winters family drama.
That would have been a perfect idea, since I thought the new writers were trying to incorporate some past cast members into the new stories
Great point.
Shemar may not want to come back, Jimmy. There is that.
Great looking young man but that makes the third young new male character. GC needs some young women to come to town.
That cute computer nerd cannot be following Ashley around like a love struck puppy forever–give him a girl about his age!!
What about the female computer nerd that had the hots for Kevin, who was last seen working for Victor? They would have a lot in commen. She might be little pushy compared to his shyness, but it might be worth as shot
Natalie. Yes….whatever happened her her? It was like…poof–gone.
You’re talking about Natalie. I like the idea you just mentioned but to add some icing to this cake, how about if we have him somehow connected to Hillary? Just another reason for her to keep on being bitchy? That’s when Hillary works best for me!!!
Natalie would be terrific paired with Ravi. I love Ravi, do not want him paired with Ashley.
Sharon and Victor, my friend, was even worse. He is ancient compared to Sharon….HOW, I ask??
Hi, Rhonda,
I agree…NO ASHLEY. She’s old enough to be his mother. We’re not talking about about a few years, here. We’re talking decades. He’s 26. Thirty years!!!!!! Gross.
I like Ravi myself….. easy-going, good-looking guy. He is merely infatuated with Ashley. Maybe he has Mommy issues.
As a nerd, myself, LOL, I get him. He and Natalie would be perfect. But, I do not trust her.
Nothing against Ashley, because I have always loved her but putting them together would put them in the same gross factor as when Sharon slept with Victor. EEEWWW
why wasnt tyler brought back?
redaric had a front burner story with chrisal years back and the two were hot together
would have been fun to interact lily and cane and possibly stir things up even briefly
tyler was a photographer if i remember correctly and cane wasnt a fan..wld ve been perfect
tylers older sis leslie pops into genoa city once in a while ..it would be great to have tyler return every so often too…even to run into abby or mariah, lots of unfinished business
I completely forgot about Tyler, but that’s a good idea! I wasn’t much of a fan of the Michaelson family, mainly because their backstory had no connections to GC and seemed to be mostly an afterthought filler story, but Tyler dropped off the canvas with no explanation, and could have easily been reincorporated into the story.
Abby is single, unless they put him with Victoria. They love to put them young men with older ladies.
LOL.
NO!
Tim…I AGREE…N-O!!! Now…speaking of Abby, WHAT IS UP with Abby’s (current) wardrobe?!?!? To me, it makes her look like a high school student…BLECH!!!!!!!!
Have a good one, dude.
he will obviously turn out to be adopted and looking for his birth mom, who will turn out to be…wait for it….Drucilla….she had given birth to him before she made her appearance in Genoa City….he and Lily will bond and come to realization they are related….it will also turn out he was an adopted heir to Constance Bingham (Adam’s faux mom) and Hilary will jump him because he would be another billionaire to get her hooks into….thus creating conflict with him and Devon…..or maybe he’ll be a gay character and have a hot romance with Noah Newman….Noah hasn’t had any interesting storylines lately and maybe he’ll come to realize he’s gay because he cant make any relationships work with women……so he would be tied to the Winters and Newman clans….I know Sally Sussman is moving everyone around the board like chess pieces, but she needs to pick up the pace….it’s starting to get boring….don’t scream…i’ll give her six months but hope something exciting comes out soon…..
WOW, Scott!!!!! I love the way you think. What a good storyline that would make. Drucilla’s son. That’s a good seed to plant in the writers’ minds. Let’s hope it yields some fruit. One never knows….
Isn’t this character a man from Neil’s daughter past? Hoping it will be a good triangle. 🙂
That’s a fantastic premise, as well, Nik.
He could , aslso, be Hilary’s brother? Or a new beau, considering the fact that as soon as Devon snaps out of it, he will drop her in a blink.
I think TPTB are paving the way for Jack and Hilary to get romantically involved. I have seen this coming for a while.
N-o-p-e. Next……….
