Lisa Yamada Returns to The Bold and the Beautiful
We knew we have not seen the last of Luna Nozawa! The murderous young woman will be back in story and making a return on the upcoming Friday, November 8th episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, when actress Lisa Yamada return to the CBS daytime drama series.
According to official B&B spoilers for the week of November 4-8, Poppy (Romy Park) will visit Luna in jail and provides Luna with valuable information, while Bill (Don Diamont) receives a poignant letter from Luna, which forces him to reflect on the situation and the choices that brought them to where they are.
Could the next leg of the story be that Poppy will manipulate situations to keep Bill from reuniting with Katie? Will Luna get back out of jail and still be the same unstable person she was before? Stay tuned.

Fans of The Bold and the Beautiful were blown away by the performances of Yamada earlier this summer and was last seen on the soap back on September 6th when Luna was arrested for kidnapping, drugging, and trying to frame her mother for the murders of two men and was sent to prison.
During a recent visit to the Michael Fairman Channel‘s Yamada’s co-stars, Don Diamont and Heather Tom discussed her performances playing good girl turned troubled psycho and their high hopes for her return to the soap. Diamont expressed on the story,“What a great unsuspecting turn. I loved it. You know, up to that point in the story, she’d been pretty milquetoast, sweet, sweet, everything, puppies and sunshine. This was such a wonderful opportunity for Lisa to show what she could do and she killed it. I was so proud of her. She knocked it out of the park.”

Six-time Daytime Emmy-winner Heather Tom added, “My personal feeling is that it would be wonderful for Lisa to be back, because as I said, I think she’s just scratching the surface her talent. Personally, I really care for her. She’s just a sweet, sweet girl. I really enjoyed working with her, and I just think there’s story there, but that’s above our pay grade.”
Heather, who is now also a script writer and a director for B&B as well as cast member, added, “Lisa was so good (at being bad) it at it that everyone went, ‘Oh! Finally, there’s the character!’ This is like some cool psychological craziness.”
So, are you excited for the return of Lisa Yamada as Luna to The Bold and the Beautiful? What do you think she will do next? Comment below, but first watch a sneak peek for the action this week on the CBS daytime drama.
I sure had enough of Luna’s sick vindictiveness. Why would anyone accept or want her back? She’s unredeemable as far as I’m concerned. She’s not a kid and no matter how her mother raised her, there is no unearthly reason or excuse for what she’s done.
While, I like Rebecca Budig, this is not a part for her, too young for the overly son and daughter and the old grizzly Ridge.
Me and my family won’t be watching,not to mention steffy! I will not condone someone’s sick in the head.
I agree about Rebecca. She’s too young for the role.
I agree with you all. She needs out! Worse bringing Luna back to reck havic again.
She’s one of the best actors I’ve seen. This is not real life you do know, right
I love Rebecca Budig as Taylor. I remember her from Guiding Light. Great actress. But why she is attracted to grizzly Ridge. Unshaven, hairs always a mess, and he has no back bone. Come on Heather Tom, let’s not repeat all these old storylines with Brooke, Taylor n grizzy ridge.
I hope Taylor and Steffy get the biggest slap in their faces. This show is not quiet right. Taylor is a turd, see how she is egging Steffy on over Finn and hope. How dum is Steffy and Finn not get the complete story. Hope Carter, Hope,Brook and ivy start up a rivalry company and sit Forrester on its butt. They need to beg them to come back. Hope. Being the most outstanding legend of the fashion stoppers.
Yes go Brook Carter Hope
Luna is a very good actress, very versatile
Can’t stand Luna! Dump her! Also, too many love scenes! It’s like they don’t have any real story to write, so they filled it with love scenes!!
You are right on it I agree
And I can’t wait
RJ has been MIA hope he will be back too
Good! Send her after the Wicked Witch of Los Angeles, Steffy, and that spineless husband, Finn! Better yet, let her team up with Sheila!
Lew…more and more, I like the way you think. LOL
Thank You.
I agree. I can not stand Steffy or her sick mother. Ship them back to Italy, please.
I Love Steffy and her mom i can’t stand hope or her mom they think they can do what they want her and her whole family and it’s OK but no body else better not do and I Loved Sweet Luna until she did what she did to Steffy i was Blown away i couldn’t Believe it and yes I would Love to see Luna come back as reformed
A good one there! Bring Steffi down a notch or 2. That Ridge…really!
There’s no need for lunatic to come back ! terrible actor ! And what valuable info cud poopy have for lunatic ? It’s been nice without poopy and lunatic being on !
Her name is Poppy but I like yours better.
They bringing the lunitac back
Another Sheila Carter Lisa Yomada is a brilliant actress glad she is back but they again need a better storyline
I’m looking forward to Luna’s return
Can’t wait to see what’s coming up next
Her father, Finn has to know his aunt had a child by him. Steffy’s reaction when she finds out. Finn needs to know Liam and Steffy kissed twice which she never told him.
Wish Finn would grow a set! He needs to know that Steffy is no saint. She’s devious , judgmental and too big for her britches!
It is about time someone take Steffy down anotch or two her hatetred for Hope is too much I hope Luna comes back a d pick up where she left off before she went to prison
Stuffy is such a brat!!
It would be so funny if Finn is Luna’s daddy!!
Could be soap opera do that
I have always thought Finn might be her father after they said he stayed with Poppy when he was in college
I saw Lisa Yomada on one of movies this girl the sky’s the limit brilliant actress at such a young age and has that attractive look to get anything she wants movies modeling etc she is only 22 years old
I did not like what Luna became. Maybe it was someone who disguised herself as Luna who did all the bad things. The good Luna is tied up somewhere but somehow manages to escape. She contacts her mom to let her know what really happened..The bad Luna who is in Jail had something against Luna and Poppie……. These are my thoughts. Please don’t let Luna come back as a bad girl.
Yes, me too…never say never when it comes to the Soap world
I agree but b when I saw Lisa Yomada as an actress when she was sweet and innocent at first then to turn her into a psychological killer I enjoyed seeing Lisa Yomada play
with this part she is a brilliant young actress I’m glad they brought her back but I’m still disappointed again in the storyline need to do it differently than the last time
I feel like if they brought Dheila to the point of redemption, Luna would be a cake walk. She needs to come back in a more positive way after tons of therapy. Yet the writers have to show her doing the work instead of just returning.
I read these comments occasionally as I quit watching B & B several months ago. The show has gone off the rails. Steffy is so obnoxious, so unreal, it is sickening. Once she is knocked down a notch or 2, I might be back. Until then, bye bye.
Sorry we don’t need Luna back. Let her have a twin but not Luna as a character. Too much evil was done. She shld never be out of jail. My opinion
It is just a TV show .it didn’t really happen !!
Get rid of Steffy UGH! She never shuts up. If my husband was that close to his ex like Taylor and Ridge are I’d have a problem. Taylor doesn’t need to be involved in business at FC.
I can’t stand steffy or Taylor get life steffy
Steffy needs to be slap
Bringing Luna back is a great idea. Isn t she Sheila kid switched at birth by Le’
So B/B is going to have a entire cast of mental health characters OKAY
I’d give my left kidney for Luna to replicate Steffy back into a locked cage in a burning building . Quiet on the set. ACTION
Yea, we can toast marshmallows!
Don’t bring Luna back. What’s the point. Where would it lead. Kathie is not going back to Dollar Bill.
If they bring Luna back plus the other 3 or 4 kids, I’m thru watching. Can’t stand the mess this show has become.
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.
