How Will Y&R's Newmans and B&B's Forresters Be Celebrating Thanksgiving?

Hard to believe Turkey Day is almost upon us, and the CBS Daytime soaps will certainly have some dysfunctional Thanksgiving familial dinners with all the trimmings!
On The Young and the Restless, Thanksgiving comes to Genoa City on the Wednesday, November 26th episode when Victor Newman (Eric Braden) and Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) host Thanksgiving dinner for friends, family and a few unexpected guests at the Newman Ranch. Meanwhile, the rest of the Newman family are at an important crossroads as Nicholas Newman (Joshua Morrow) finds himself in a life altering predicament, Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) decides to find out who her baby’s father is and Adam Newman (Justin Hartley) prepares to reclaim his life under a new identity. Across town, Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) and his fiancée Phyllis Newman (Gina Tognoni) spend Thanksgiving making up for lost time after she spent the last year in a coma. Will Phyllis finally get the happy ending she’s been waiting for?
On The Bold and the Beautiful look for the Wednesday November 26th episode to brings the Forresters, Logans and Spencers together at the Forrester Mansion for a Thanksgiving Day filled with food, forgiveness and gratitude on Pam Douglas (Alley Mills) and Charlie Baker (Dick Christie) prepare the perfect meal for the group and as everyone settles in, Hope Logan (Kim Matula) announces that they will be continuing the tradition of putting their conflict aside, whether it is in love, business or family, she implores them to say something kind to the person next to them. For a moment in time it seems that all is right in the world, but for two people, we see that the feelings that they have for each other are still undeniable.
So how do you think these families Thanksgiving gatherings will go down? What would you like to see happen? Food fights? Smooches? Revelations? Comment below!
On B&B, I’ll love Thanksgiving if Caroline and Ridge are fighting their feelings for each other. They have amazing chemistry.
Y&R is on a good run right now with their stories…LOVE Phyllis…she is as fierce as ever… this Kelly is no match for her in any way! Love lives are turned upside down….we will see how that plays out over the next few months…
Honestly…. I could not care less about B&B as they have killed the show for me. Wyatt and Quinn are at least interesting to watch. Hope turns my stomach…not sure what the intent is on the part of the writers but I get why the actress has thrown in the towel.
Ridge and Caroline are just wrong. Get Maya on the next plan out…. stop the board meetings that include models…give me a break.
What am I thankful for this thanksgiving in my “soap life” … the fact that I have a break from Brooke and her silly whispers and crying as well as Hope leaving the show. I think this is the chance to win back the audience…if done right.
I hear KKL was tossed off DWTS Italy, so I guess she will be back sooner rather than later. Oh well. perhaps the fact that Gloria from Y&R is coming to B&B will be a game changer for Eric…..she is a trip!
Gloria is a trip, for sure. She’s one of the best out there in soapland.
The most significant surprise in Genoa City for Thanksgiving? Methinks Sharon is pregnant.
Last years B&B thanksgiving episode was just incredible heather tom just nailed it and I’m not a big fan of hers at least not until then. It was like you were really sitting at table with them.
Just incredible.
I honestly would like to see one day of peace, because they spend the majority of the year , drowning in drama, so it would be nice to see them thankful for their blessings. I would like to see the Newman’s invite Stitch and Kelly to Thanksgiving and stop calling Stitch a murderer.
Wish we still had Snyder Thanksgivings, they were always the best.
Nice photo of MTS. & EB! I wonder if Nick is going to come to the conclusion he is a ??
I will be thankful if on the actual Thanksgiving holiday Y&R showed one of their classic shows– it is always a treat to see an episode from ten or so years ago– one that might have Jeanne Cooper in it– those classic shows are usually far better than anything they are doing right now—
As for B&B I usually skip their Thanksgiving episode– a bunch of dysfunctional people getting together pretending for one day to get along, while behind the scenes there is nothing but drama– reminds me too much of my family during the holidays– LOL.
I hope someone throws the turkey at Nick. He’s nothing but a spoiled little brat acting like his daddy. As for Summers daddy when she finally found out she went to his place (tack-house) hugged him and left. Wow she really is in misery. Does anyone out there remember the Christmas’s at the ranch? The beautiful tree & Victor always arranged a sleigh ride. The Abbott’s had a beautiful tree in their living room & they all got together it was just beautiful. Maybe we’ll get lucky and Nick & Avery will get back together for Christmas and take Summer & go to the North Pole until Spring.
BTW Nick your darling little daughter is alive because of Sharon. Sharon found her at the bottom of the stairs & called the ambulance. Sharon also saved her sorry butt when she was freezing modelling & had the camera fellow fired. It was Sharon’s idea to have Summer in her wedding. So think about that before your next temper tantrum. I want to see Sharon with Dylan but only after Nick begs Sharon to come back to him.
I do agree with you, Nikki. However, Nick is lashing out because he is hurt. He feels that he has been duped…hard pill for a man with pride to swallow.
I think he still loves Sharon, but because of his anger, he is blind to that fact.
But, that’s neither here nor there…I just can’t stand it when Nick, among many others, act holier-than-thou, or call the kettle black. Every character has done something unimaginable and despicable….so, Nick should look in the mirror before pointing fingers.
Nick has been the trigger of many of Sharon’s eposodes..
Sharon was the one who did help Summer and the other models, they were being abused ,Sharon stopped it ,than became their advocate,Sharon cared ,it wasn’t that she wanted to be rid of Summer ,she just wanted it to be like it was before Cassie died and before Phylass seduced Nick.when she needed him when Cassie died,
I wish the writers could come up with a better storyline for Niki rather than she drinks-she’s on the wagon – she’s drinking again – she’s on the wagon again – she’s drinking again . . . Good Grief – Get that woman a job! Victor’s just plain Victor can’t live with him but harder without him. Chelsea is great! Victoria is carrying this thing with two daddies a tad to far. PICK ONE ALREADY! And for crying out loud get Adam back there. The writers should tune into General Hospital and see how to move a story along. I guess the first thing tho is to get a story.
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.
