I was all set to welcome him to The Rookie, which hasn’t been as good as usual the last few episodes.
I am very disappointed to find out he would not be playing a cop, as we could use another rookie, since the others have moved ahead. Iam sure Jason will do a good job regardless, can’t wait to see him.

I love the Rookie – although I admit to liking all the regular characters more than Nathan. This role description sounds like something that would suit him so w/b interested to see him. I always like seeing soap actors that I’m familiar with in other roles.

Didnt take long for Arturo and Mia to move on to brighter things after Josh Griffith and y n r fired them while they were in the middle of a hot story!
Congrats to both of my fave ex-Rosales!
He might aswell fired Lola too considerimg he dumped her out of the Kola pairing and triangle with Summer,and she already found Supergirl. Wow, come to think of it , Josh really did the Rosales dirty only to make room for Theo and Michelle Staffords massive return!!!…oh yea and we see how that all turned out…

I agree I was upset that they got rid of all of the Rosales family except Rey and Lola. The Rosales family brought excitement and fun to boring the young and the restless. So glad Sasha Calle and Jason have made it to the big time .Oh and Mia has a great part in playing Selena’s sister.

Damian, I agree with your every word!

To me, the mistake Y&R made with the Rosales story was introducing four new characters within a short time and then giving them ALL major stories. Viewers need time to get used to new faces and have them worked in slowly, the way GH has done with Chase, Sasha, and Trina — now all good and welcome characters. (I’m so mad at Willow for choosing wimpy Michael, I can’t even see straight). I’m sure Jason Canela will do just fine…though I’d rather he had stayed and Rey sent packing, especially now.

Hi, I liked Arturo and Lola, but Mia was the ultimate two-timing witch, and Rey is acting spineless with no self respect with what he’s been putting up with Sharon.How could he even sleep with her, thinking she’s maybe wishing it was another man. Sorry, I shouldn’t have gotten started with that mess. I don’t know if I’ve mentioned it before or if you agree with me, but I think Willow is Nina’s daughter, not Nell and and keep waiting for her to see the heart necklace on Nina and tell her that her necklace disappeared from her jewelry box. What do you think?

I love the Rosales family, but you’re right, Soaphound, the entire family was force fed to viewers way too rapidly. Too bad because all four actors are talented, charismatic and unique. I couldn’t agree with you more about Willow and Michael. Not only are they utterly boring together, they’re kind of, for lack of a better word, ICKY together. Yuck. Michael and Willow manage to be both boring and nauseating together. Millow makes me ill-ow.

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

Published

By

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

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.
