Tonight TOLN Soaps and On-Air On-Soaps Michael Fairman launched their first Google Hang Out Chat where selected fans got to join in on the conversation live on their webcams and ask questions directly to the guest who for the premiere episode was One Life to Live’s Melissa Archer (Natalie Buchanan)!

Throughout the chat, host Michael asked Melissa questions on the return of One Life to Live, Natalie’s new set, what is happening between Natalie and Cutter as seen in the First Look One Life to Life preview reel and much more.  In addition, Michael posed questions from Twitter and facebook from fans of Melissa’s including: how long she might be staying in Llanview? And, who were some of Natalie’s all-time favorite hook-ups?

Next, the special guest fans asked some very intriguing questions, and we got a tease from Melissa of just where Natalie might be headed in terms of where she is in her life and what it may cause her do in all new episodes. In addition,  our hangout fans each revealed to Melissa, what has been there favorite Natalie moment on OLTL throughout the time she has played the role!

Watch the video after the jump, and let us know what you thought of it? Do you like the concept? What do you think of some of Melissa’s answers? Are you psyched for One Life’s return more after seeing this?  Let us know as we get close to the premiere episode of One Life to Live on April 29th!

I love this!!! I always wanted the soaps stuff like Google Hangouts, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Tumblr and even the teen magazines, what a great way to interact with fans. I also LOVED Melissa’s answers, hope to see more Google Hangout with the rest of the cast of OLTL and also the cast of AMC.

Great interview! Melissa is beautiful inside and out.

Love Melissa! Great interview and I can hardly wait for the premiere! ♥

Loved it Michael and Melissa and all!!! Very good questions and answers!!! Love the format and would like more!!! Michael are you thinking of doing your podcasts this way too? Love all of what you do and hope there is more!!! I hope you are working for and with the TOLN as they can really use your expertis and knowledge… and you are a huge OLTL fan!!! Thank you Melissa and others… you were great!

Can’t wait for 4/29/13!!!

Melissa was wonderful. SO much fun! This is a fantastic way to promote the shows and let fans reach out and be involved. I saw it live and re-wached again last night!! Thank you for doing this. It makes us feel closer to the stars we love so much.

Cant wait to see OLTL and AMC but unfotunately my two daughters age 9 and 10 will not be permitted. Theyll have to wait til their 18 and make that decision. Two years ago they sometimes watched with me and liked Shane, Jack, Sam and Destiny and appeared to be future soap fans but now with the adult content i will not allow them to watch. I do not allow my young children see R rated movies with explicit sexual content and nudity, obscene language or allow them to view shows with graphic violence so the same rules apply with tv and shows online. I feel childhood is fleeting and want them to enjoy it while they can, and not deal with that adult stuff until they are mature adults. It sure isnt like when my mother introduced me to the show when i was 11, and could watch. I will be watching these myelf with my mother and sometimes my husband on April 29th. Thanks to my neighbor and friend Jim for allowing me to use his computer while ours is in repair.

Hey Kim… I admire and commend your post! They really will miss out on the multi-generational families watching together… if they push the envelope too far. That is a sad thing especially after 70+ years of serialized drama on radio, TV and now on-line. If I had children I would do the same thing. There will be multi-generations watching… just not together… and that is a loss. The idea that they need to bring a reality TV woman from a less than stellar show to come on as a bartender shows that they are trying hard to get viewers but not necessarily the right viewers. I have loved OLTL for all of the years it has been on… but if it isn’t OLTL and if it is pandering or using gratuitous anything… it will cause me to stop watching it. Again… I applaud you for your post and your parenting!!!

why don’t you wait and see what will be offered first before you criticize-or better yet, let your kids live in the real world. Parents like you are the reason so many kids are screwed up today. Grow up, will ya? We have fought for 2 years now to get AMC and OLTL back-and we don’t need people like you judging something that hasn’t even aired yet. Life is not a Leave It To Beaver rerun, and it’s about time you realized that

Thank you, Michael. Great interview. Thanks to Melissa and all your guest fans. Nice job!

First off, great interview and so nice to see other soap fans joining in and participating. Would love to see more of these.

How beautiful is Melissa? GORGEOUS! So kind of her to take time for the fans. She always seems so genuine and down to earth.

If you get a shot at another video interview like this, I would love to see Robin Strasser (DORIAN) and get her take on all sorts of things. Robin seems like a straight shooter and someone who does not hold back, I imagine that being another great interview.

I agree, Melissa looked STUNNING-the year-plus off seemed to agree with her (she has either dropped weight or shifted it around) I could never decide on her attractiveness during the network run, but I never took my eyes off her either. But, now, she will DEFINITELY be a character to watch this time around

Melissa is so pretty & that gorgeous long red hair! Can’t wait to see her and everyone else on OLTL(my #1 favorite soap)!!!!! She seems like a really nice person to me. And done to earth..Can’t wait to see the new sets of OLTL.. You can’t keep a good soap down! Eat your hearts out abc. We’re back & for a long time! Best wishes and good luck
to ONE LIFE TO LIVE!

Loved it and loved the format. Can’t wait for my OLTL on April 29th. I’m a big Melissa Archer and JOLIE fan and will watch even if she is with yucky Cutter!!

Watching this was so much fun….you and MA were great together…so excited after watching the video and watching this…yea Natalie has her own place and we have a Liam…also Cutter and her would be kinda awesome but I would also love John back….since ME is not coming back I vote for GMC from ATWT to be our new John….love love that RH is doing both soaps….also MA is so so cute…

She is so pretty it’s ridiculous!

Natalie belongs with John. The ending of the show was good because they belonged together. Now its screwed up. I hope they find their way back together!

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

Published

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

Published

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.
