Laneya Grace Cast as The Bold and the Beautiful’s New Younger Leading Lady, Electra Forrester; Ashleigh Brewer Returns
Welcome to The Bold and the Beautiful actress Laneya Grace who will be taking on the role of Electra Forrester. So, from which part of the Forrester family does she belong?
According to casting news from Soap Opera Digest, Electra is the granddaughter of John Forrester, who was played by the late Fred Willard. Along with Electra’s arrival to the canvas, the soap is bringing back Ivy Forrester played by Ashleigh Brewer. Previously, Brewer played Ivy from 2014-18 and popped up on shows in 2014.
Laneya has already began taping all-new episodes of B&B this week. Look for Electra’s debut on the canvas next month on October 22nd. In story, Electra’s arrival comes hot on the heels of Luna (Lisa Yamada) being carted off to prison for two murders and kidnapping charges, leaving a gap for the young leading man to have a young leading lady to be in a romance with.

Will Electra end up in a triangle with R.J. Forrester (Joshua Hoffman)and Will Spencer (Crew Morrow)? What about Zende Forrester (Delon de Metz)? At the moment, all three guys don’t have a love interest.
As for Grace, she is an experienced model and has appeared in national print campaigns including for Old Navy. In addition, she has appeared in the movie 24 Hours and the music video Wake Me Up by Avicii (you can watch it below), which has been viewed over two billion times as of this posting.
So what do you think of the casting of Laneya Grace as Electra Forrester? And the return of Ashleigh Brewer as Ivy? Will she wind up back with Liam? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.
What the hell kind of name is Electra?! And why would they cast another Forrester?! That takes Zende and RJ out of the running. Unless they start playing up the Marone side of RJ (insert eye roll). They should’ve recasted CoCo Spectra or just bring on a new Family with a PAIR of sisters. Will is the only guy she can date. And why is Ivy back? Someone is about to hit the backburner because they have WAY too many characters on right now. Where is Thomas?! No update has been provided about hus status on the show!
The name Electra is of Greek origin. It definitely is unusual.
Love the name Electra! Got more Roosters than Hens. Bring Thomas back. Please!!!
Electra is beautiful. She needs to cover her ears or get them surgically pinned back. So sorry but it is true
She is going to be the new Ivy.
RJ needs more air time
I agree. People don’t realize he has fans, but he does. I know because I am one of them.
I want Ivy with Liam and if Electra is a Forrester, then why would she be with a Forrester? So maybe with Will, I think they will be cute together, or maybe zende but I can see her with will, zende needs his own woman and no fighting over her.
RJ is a Marone by blood (Ridge is Massimo’s biological son). So technically he won’t be related to Electra. Just saying don’t discount him.
John Forrester’s granddaughter. Probably not Ivy’s daughter so Jessica Forrester’s daughter. Would love to see soap star turned porn star – Maitland Ward make an appearance as Jessica:)
Why are we putting Forrester’s together. Aren’t they cousins. Blood or not too many family members dating. Liam and Will are the only two that should be dating the Forrester women. Bring in someone else not tied to the Forrester name, for RJ and Zende. Please find a man for Taylor, I’m so sick of this back In forth with Ridge.
I agree with that, between Brooke, Ridge, Taylor. That’s so old. And another one Steffy, Liam, Hope, and her new husband. So tired of that story line.
So true and I don’t know why Taylor is back into in the picture she just wants she needs to stop and leave Ridge alone if Rich ends up going back to Taylor I’m not going to see this show ever again cuz I’m sick and tired of them going back and forth Ridge needs to stay with Brooke.
Time to take a break from B&B. Story lines are boring and repetitive.
Yes,you too!!
Would to see Ivy and Liam together
Let’s bring Thomas back for Hope. Marriage didn’t work. Cause he still loves Hope
I’m just so, sick of hearing about the kiss Hope planted on Steffy’s man. It happened get over it. It’s not like she killed someone like Luna did hello. Can we move on……
I’m not feeling this new Taylor! She’s a good actress but she jist isn’t glamorous enough to go up against Brooke. And I hope they don’t restart that love triangle again..so sick of them. Ridge always leads Taylor on and he’s doing it again!
TJ is a Forrester. (Raised one) That’s just gross. An Zende is still related too, that’s gross. Will or Liam would be the only contenders.
Brad Bell is so twisted! The only viable choice should be Will. Marone or not, Ridge is a Forrester. Adopted or not, Zende is a Forrester and so is RJ. New family is needed. I am a fan of Rebecca Budig, but I am not buying her as Taylor.
Love Brad Bell! Love all his storylines and charactors . Love new Taylor !. R.J.not convincing as one time playboy & now designer . .Glad to see Ivy coming back & Electra .
Didn’t they only renew B&B for a year? Time for this show to get it together. Yes, making Luna a psycho was a great turn, but things happened at rapid speed and shouldn’t it have been Katie, instead of Steffy to solve this mystery, since she was so concerned about Bill and determined to get rid of Poppi? This show is dragging and it’s like watching those old sitcoms where they keeping repeating old storylines with new characters. If CBS is invested in this show, then either replace Brad Bell or give him a co-head writer. New ideas are needed and some characters need to be back-burned for a while, to give or to give others a chance to shine. If Matt Atkinson is done, then frigging say so and I hope he is picked up by Beyond the Gates! Dumb move B&B! Firing Krista Allen who was killing it as Taylor was another dumb move. The new incarnation ain’t working!
I couldn’t agree more …these writers are horrible storylines are so boring and just go on for way too damn long and this whole thing with hope is really getting old and tiring not liking what they did to her character at all first Thomas now Finn I meam come on now enough is enough didnt they do this ish enough with Brooke now they’re gonna do it with hope too?? Bring in another family or something find something better to write about otherwise it looks like you’re about to loose a lot of viewers there Bell
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.
