Today, three names of the contestant list for the new season of Dancing with the Stars were leaked to the media and on the top of the list was Soap icon, Jack Wagner (Nick, B&B, Frisco GH, Peter, Melrose Place)!
Wagner who was just taken off contract by The Bold and the Beautiful certainly has some time on his hands right now, while looking for his next project to do the Cha-Cha and other dances in the ballroom competition!
Along with Wagner, The View’s Sherri Shepherd, and Little House on the Prairie star, Melissa Gilbert’s name have also been attached to the new season, according to TMZ.com!
The official announcement of the full list of contestants won’t come till this coming Tuesday morning at 7AMEST from ABC, but after last season’s interesting array of competitors, it will be intriguing to see who is added to the mix and if these three Wagner, Shepherd and Gilbert are confirmed. What do you think of Jack Wagner as a contestant in the ballroom dance competition? Let us know!
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.

DWTS usually brings ABC stars on their show, let’s hope it means he signed with GH as also rumored…
Oh, I would LOVE to see Jack on DWTS…paired with Kym(?) WOW!
I’d love to see Jack paired with Kym, too. She’s fabulous
I tried to watch this show when Susan Lucci was on & I just could not stand it-so cheesy. I will miss Jack on B&B for sure.
again ,Its on abc so I wont watch,Over at tmz I had to stick up for him some idiot says he is to old ,so I let the writer have it and so did a few others .watched the first 2 seasons really enjoyed it then over the years it went downhill for me ,there are several times I had to scratch my head thinking ,there stars ,or is it abc s Idea of what a star is.I lost interest.
does jack even have any rhythm?? this will be interesting…….
I will not anything on ABC except GH. If he is indeed dancing this season then the execs have an ulterior motive.
I agree. I’m boycotting ABC totally except for General Hospital. ABC is very GREEDY and doesn’t care about the hundreds of thousands of soap fans that they’ve disappointed nor do they care about the hundreds and hundreds of people they put out of work. The reality shows take just a few people…. hosts, cameramen, director and a few more. The soaps employed hundreds.
I don’t watch much of abc, however, I could never give up my REVENGE on Wednesday nights.
I believe JW will be on dwts. What else does he have to do besides play golf?
Also he LOVES attention. What better way??
YES!! I’ll be watching, rooting for Jack, for sure. Here’s hoping this is a sign that ABC and GH is bring Jack back as our beloved character Frisco Jones!
Where-ever Jack will be seen,i will be behind him.
I like DWTS but will have to miss this season. I, along with hundreds of thousands of soap opera fans, am boycotting ABC for the cancellation of All my Children and One Life to Live. I won’t watch (and haven’t for months and months) ABC except for General Hospital. When that goes, so do I. I hope many others boycott ABC too. They didn’t care about their loyal fans at all when they cancelled our beloved and iconic soap operas after 43 years. These were truly great shows but cost more to make than those silly reality shows. ABC is just GREEDY and cancelled these shows without caring at all about the fans or the many, many job that were lost. Shame on ABC !!!
Watch “DWTS” and if you have no favorites, vote for Jack Wagner so he can stay on longer and bring more attention to “GH”, because we can guess that he’s returning.
Don’t worry I will! I love Jack Wagner boy did Brad Bell step into it by letting this guy go! If GH scores him I will be forever grateful Sonny who?
Hes had work I see, doesnt look like the guy I knew….hes squiting eyes made him hot.
And was darker….hummmm
Probably has had some work done, but I don’t blame him for it and he still looks great.
Would rather see him on B&B, but if not, DWTS is fine. But I thought he was rumored before. Maybe now he’s not on contract on B&B he’ll do it. Maybe then B&B will rethink their letting him go. C’mon! So tired of B&B revolving around Hope and Liam and Steffy. All the characters are involved in that storyline and it’s too much!!!!!
I’ll miss Jack Wagner and his sexiness on Bold and Beautiful as well. Brad Bell is making a huge mistake letting Wagner go, but oh well. B&B’s loss will hopefully be GH’s gain. I won’t be watching DWTS though. I’ll just watch his perfomances on Youtube, since I’m sure somebody will eventually post them there.
