ABC released today this first look photo of the Two Todd’s (Roger Howarth and Trevor St. John) together in the same shot! Who would have ever thought we would see this day, but now it is here! Mark your calendars for this Friday, May 13th when fans will first see Roger as he makes his highly-anticipated return to One Life to Live.
The Daytime Award winning Howarth, originated the role of Todd Manning in 1992 and was last seen in Llanview in 2003. Following Roger’s exit in 2003, Trevor St. John joined the cast of OLTL and answered to the name Walker Laurence but in a surprising twist it was soon revealed that he was indeed Todd Manning…Or is he? There is a mystery that has been brewing in Llanview and Todd (as played by Trevor) is hiding something. Is it a secret identity? The mystery begins when Roger Howarth returns this Friday with his infamous scar. Who is the real Todd Manning? Stay tuned as it is all is about to be finally played out!
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.

OLTL is Rockin HOT – will someone please bitch slap Frons for cacelling it.
I love it! And I volunteer to bitch slap him TWICE. FORWARD AND BACKWARDS! LOL!
I hope OLTL’s ratings soar ! If no renewal is found, the show deserves to go out in the #1 spot.
It would be the end of Frons- excellent!
Oh Happy ,Happy ,Joy,Joy !!!!
LOVE Roger Howarth and am soooo excited he’s back.
Can’t wait til Friday the 13th…..hmmm given the date can we count on that ominous music of his and some explosives first scenes !!!
He’s just got be be the REAL TODD !!!!
My toes are curling with anticipation !!!!!
(hopes) if he is the REAL TODD -scenes with Susan (Marty) before she exits….and of course Erika (Vicki),always loved their relationship……and more !!!!
Oooo ….I’m sooo excited !!!!
I hope this will be as good as I think it will be. I cant wait to see how this plays out. I hope it gives many characters on the canvas dramatic story. Let’s see Oltl get 2nd in the ratings again.
First of all Todd had his scar removed & then he had the plastic surgery. The writers can’t keep up.
I know rite and how are they going to explain the DNA test Tea did but he will be the real Todd because Tomas said he did not shoot Todd but we all no he tried to kill the current one that was hint one for me and in the previews it shows Roger waking yeling saying he’s been in here for eight years. It all doesn’t make sense but we’ll see what happens.
RH’s Todd never had the scar removed. If you watch clips on YT of his last scenes with Mitch Lawrence before he was put into the tomb, the scar is still there. (And if it were removed, there would be a reason in Todd’s bio, prior to TSJ taking over the role, because the scar was significant to the character). He wouldn’t have the scar removed because it reflected what he had done to Marty, who he was, and who he would always be. The scar didn’t disappear until Todd got a new face. And that was ‘explained’ with the plastic surgery angle when TSJ took over the role. But when RH was Todd, the scar was always there. There were days when it was prominent and days when it wasn’t.
Roger Roger Roger!! Will the real Todd Manning please stand up!
Yes i enjoyed the scenes with Ericka and Roger they were so touching and they were nice to watch… I hope OLTL goes out number one in the ratings should have been GH that got the ax i mean really It is the carly jason sonny show one can only take so much of them.
I hope this is done right! How are you going to explain Trevor St. John’s love for his family! We shall see!
I may be the only one, but I hope he isn’t the realy todd, I LOVE TSJ & hope that Roger scenes are flashbacks or that Roger is an imposter trying to claim all of TSJ $ because he thinks that he was killed. Something anything except that he is the real Todd, I am not ready to stop watching Tea and TSJ, plus his love for his family would be unexplained. If he is an imposter why care so much about the kids. The memories he has cannot be imposter memories TSJ has to be Todd. Unless TSJ is a pod and a body for roger who is in a facility somewhere with electrodes in his brain to help TSJ be todd
I agree! I love TSJ as Todd! Don’t get me wrong, I loved Roger as TM and never thought he could be replaced when he left, but I was wrong…TSJ was a great replacement! There’s definitely something really weird going on…I’m so excited to see how they explain this.
I think Trevor St.John makes a better Todd. Why should Roger Howarth could back and take the role back. If hhe really wanted to play the role why did he leave in the frist place. I say no way for Howarth and i say keep St.John as Todd. All i can say is love Trevor St. John keep on playing Todd he has made the role fun and very interesting.
