EXCLUSIVE Y&R Sneak Peek: Nikki & Victor Prepare To Attend Katherine's Memorial! Paul Gets A Surprise Visit!

Courtesy/CBS
The Young and the Restless is getting ready to tug at your heartstrings with the upcoming episodes honoring Katherine Chancellor played by the late Jeanne Cooper. Next week on Tuesday, September 3rd and Wednesday, September 4th, the residents of Genoa City and those closest to Katherine, gather together in the new park named after the Grand Dame.
But before those loved ones from Katherine’s life make it to the memorial service, there is plenty of drama, especially from this sneak peek clip given to us by Y&R as prelude for the dramatic moments to come.
In this video preview, as Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) is getting ready to pull herself together as best she can to attend the memorial, she speaks with Paul (Doug Davidson) who is trying to figure out the cryptic information Nikki has given him about the contents of her letter. Meanwhile, Victor (Eric Braeden) almost overhears the conversation. Back at the police station, Paul is getting ready to head to Katherine’s memorial when someone very important from his and Katherine’s past shows up!
Watch the preview after the jump! Then, let us know will you have the hankies ready for the two-day farewell to Katherine? What do you think might happen in story that might surprise or shock you? Weigh-in!
Bring it on – Looking forward to this!!
Well, I hope I will need my hankie otherwise it would mean the writers did a lousy job. As for shock or surprises– I doubt it, this show hasn’t had either in their stories for a very long time that if there was a surprise– I would be shock.
SIDEBAR -STAT
? Is Carmine done? gone? kaput?
NO! I hope theirs a legal loophole… that free’s him.
he’s one newbie that reign HOT! capital savor and tanatalize
Patrick JFP and writers ruined his possibilities instead we are stuck with the new Kyle and I am not going to say anything except this the guy has ZERO appeal!
I predict Carmine will be back. The last shot of him was sitting in his cell, but that doesn’t mean he won’t be around.
Plus he’s too hot to waste!
Just watched the first episode of Katherine’s celebration of life.
It was great to see Gina again (along with all of the other former characters that returned for the celebration).
Previews for the second episode mention Katherine’s will & knowing Katherine, I’m sure there’ll be something “explosive” in her will.
Didn’t you find it funny, there wasn’t even enough chairs for the small amount of characters that were there to sit on? They could have made the set just a tad bigger so those characters didn’t have to stand there, while Father Todd had a park bench all to himself. Could say a lot about part one but don’t want to spoil it for the American fans who have yet to see it–there were some disappointments, but overall I think they did a good job so far celebrating everything Katherine was.
Well tell me did Gina go over and smack Kevin for burning her restaurant down? You know him trying to kill Colleen but hey the past writers made him a friend of Katherine’s he only tried to kill her friend John Abbott’s granddaughter the fact he got a letter just tells you how bad these writers are and does Jill know she has a real son named Billy. I have heard what happens I am not impressed and I tell you the fact they did not even attempt to get TB/Phillip back just for a couple of episodes really makes me angry.
I was hoping they would bring someone back that was more valuable to the show I’m not a big fan of Nina’s but oh well I see where this goes I still think Paul belongs with Christine!
I have a full box, and a new tape for the VCR! Hopefully, CBS will create a Katherine Chancellor DVD that will hold her final episode, the tribute, Murphy breaking the news to here loved ones in the living room, their reations the past 2 weeks and the funeral. The proceeds could go to her favorite rehab center in TX, so as not to profit, but it would certainly be an act of good will. Her/their devoted fans would much appreciate it! I had hopes that they would invite LOTS of old cast members who “heard the news or read iti n the Business section of their newspapers” since she was an international mogul! Derek, the hairdresser, The Brookes girls (and their families), the Foster boys (to support Jill), Miguel (the Newman butler); Mac; Phillip IV; Casey Reed (Nikki’s sister to support her–which should be done anyhow since she has MS); JT, Andy Richards (Paul’s sidekick in the early years) …. I also hoped that Phillip and Rexx’s ghosts would be present in the background (hanging with John’s of course)….This is a monumental event in GC and in real life! I was please to hear flashbacks of her will be used throughout the year as the many changes to GC and the families in it unfold now that she is gone. The Duchess will NEVER be forgotten. As Doug Davidson Tweeted in May, “Heaven just got more interesting” RIP and Love to Jeanne
The reason I love Katherine so much is she reminded me of my own mother I lost many years ago. Sure miss her and can not wait for the show about her will. Should be very interesting
Maybe Katherine’s Real Daughter!!!
Carmine Basco has been a dumb doofus since the first day on the Y and R set…What purpose does he serve anymore..he is to dumb to redeem and h efits in no where..come on writers lets write a good who dun it story and kill Carmine Basco off NOW not LATER

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.
