Greg Rikaart and Judith Chapman Make a Return to The Young and the Restless
Looks like the Fisher/Baldwin clan will be back together for the holidays. According to a few tweets, first emanating from three-time Daytime Emmy-winner, Christian LeBlanc (Michael Baldwin), and followed by LeBlanc superfan, Franco, look for the returns of Greg Rikaart (Kevin Fisher) and Judith Chapman (Gloria Fisher Bardwell) some time in November.
Previously, both Rikaart and Chapman were last seen on the CBS daytime soap opera back in January of this year, when Y&R celebrated Tracey Bregman’s 40th anniversary as Lauren Fenmore Baldwin in a special episode.
Rikaart has played the role of Kevin Fisher on and off since 2003. He can currently be seen in the role of Leo Stark on Peacock’s Days of our Lives.

As for soap vet Chapman, with roles on ATWT, Ryan’s Hope, GH, OLTL, Days and Y&R, this champ of daytime has given numerous memorable performances in her work and through her characters.
Judith came to The Young and the Restless back in 2005 and has played Gloria on and off since then. Chapman replaced former Knots Landing star, Joan Van Ark as the troublemaking mother of Kevin and Michael.
The upcoming Fisher/Baldwin reunion will also feature Elizabeth Hendrickson (Chloe) and Tracey Bregman’s Lauren as part of the familial mix.
So, looking forward to seeing Greg and Judith reprise their signature roles on Y&R? Let us know in the comment section. But first, if you missed it, check out our surprise soap anniversary livestream for Greg and Liz Hendrickson with special guest, Judith Chapman and more below.

“Hopefully, the upcoming Fisher/Baldwin reunion will also feature Elizabeth Hendrickson (Chloe) and Tracey Bregman’s Lauren into the mix.”
Excuse me, but it never was said the reunion only was about Michael, Kevin, Gloria…
Lauren & Chloe are on the pics like are it Michael, Kevin & Gloria. And this spoiler is based on this pic.
Kevin & Gloria are on for one day, it’s likely they filmed Thanksgiving.
They don’t write a story for Michael, Kevin, Gloria. Don’t forget how this family was created in the first place, in 2004. Lauren was a big part of that.
The one who should get a story is Lauren. Tracey Bregman deserves it since she celebrated 40 years in January. And the family can support her unstead she’s reduced to support family & friends.
I bet JG does not write once scene where Kevin sees Daniel they use to be best friends. How long are they going to let JG literally destroy this show??
It’s not a reunion only for Michael, Kevin & Gloria. Lauren & Chloe are one part of that too. The spoiler is based on the pic posted by the YR’s official account and Christian Leblanc posted one too, and Tracey & Liz posted on IG it was a great day. I think they filmed Thanksgiving and it’s why Gloria & Kevin are back.
Glad they are back but how soon we forget the days when Kevin first came to G.C as a sleeze, that met Lily on the Internet, seduced her as a young teen, giving her an STD. Guess the apple didn’t fall from the tree in his case, whose father ” big ,bad Tom” who caused problems with countless other characters including Ashley, and associating himself with Shelia Carter, who conceived his children, one of them being Daniel’s daughter Lucy’s birth mother, Daisy Carter. Of course Sheila is now obsessed with her son on B&B but if they ever want to send her to G.C again, that would be a doozy of a SL.
Dear Violet, I say that, instead of mass incarceration, they should send select criminal offenders to a soap opera town for rehabilitation and absolution. Daniel was no angel in the beginning, either. Ditto Amber Moore, Chloe, and Michael Baldwin himself. Ava Jerome on GH is one of the recently reformed as well. But I love the Baldwin/Fisher clan, especially Greg Rikaart, so I’m happy.
Soaphound
Thoroughly agree. I just got thinking back to all that stuff years ago, especially now with Daniel, Heather and Lucy coming back, I see a triangle with Lily joining the mix. Looks like Heather is more than just interested in Lucy’s dad.
Oh nobody has forgotten this is common look at Michaels behavior just when a character kicks off becomes popular they move Heaven and earth to make them a good guy. I loved Y&R go to soap but it’s not the same the sets stink snd nobody care about anyone all talking up a storm just silly. The latest Mamie gosh was that out of Gone with wind!! Geeze anyway does anybody believe she would hurt Neil’s adopted son this way? Answer no JG is off the reservation with his story or lack of. Financial advice freeze salaries if Scott Peter Stafford & braeden build character back up and don’t tell me you can’t find a decent actor to play Noah he should be front and center . JM is almost 50 the actions he portrays is of a teenager that ship sailed a long time ago he belongs with Case they should be the back bone of this soap
Mamie is really getting on my nerves. She doesn’t seem to care what happens to Devon as long as she gets her precious Nate back in the fold. You know what they say, “blood is thicker than water”. Devon is ten times the man Nate will ever be, what a disappointment he turned out to be.
Great news. Looking forward to seeing the wonderful Judith Chapman a Gloria. Wish she was on permanently
Reunited and it feels so good.
So happy to hear this—-Mostly, I am over the moon with Hayley Erin’s return. Could Victoria’s and Cole’s daughter, Eve, be alive?
I think this is going to be really exciting or to say the least, interesting. This gal’s definitely got ties to the Newman’s, since she’s so interested in the family, hence all those clippings and photos she has. As far as being Victoria’s daughter, the writers can make a back- story into anything they want. It was said years ago, the baby didn’t survive” but that outcome can be changed in an instant. I like her and I just hope they don’t make her into a self serving, little money grubbing bitch.
Agreed, dear Violet—I love just watching her—very charismatic. Yes, the PTB can resuscitate anyone or anything. Baby Eve all grown up? Wouldn’t that be a shocker?
PS—Hey Violet—another shocker would be if Brian Hamilton, Daniel’s bio father, would make an appearance. Great timing?? —looks like Danny and Phyllis are “reconnecting”.
How did you remember that guys name? Just the other day I was trying to think of it and just to lazy to look it up.
LOL—My grandmother. She’s in her mid eighties but her brain is sharper than mine. I was around ten, maybe?? I remember vaguely. Nanna also told me that Nikki slept with Victoria’s husband, Cole. Holy caca!!
PS—It does make sense, though—right, Violet? Claire is about the right age? 23? 24?
PPS—LOL—Ohhh—you mean Brian Hamilton? My grandmother again—When I’m home and not substituting, I pick her up and bring her home with me. We watch soaps together. She’s a riot—with a Scottish mouth on her. Double LOL.
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.
