Loren Lott and Chene’ Lawson Make a Return to The Young and the Restless
As Y&R’s 13,000th episode draws near, casting news from the top-rated daytime drama has shared that with Devon (Bryton James) and Abby’s (Melissa Ordway) upcoming nuptials just a few weeks away; look for it to become a real family affair when both Loren Lott (Ana Hamilton) and Chene’ Lawson (“Harmony” aka Yolanda Hamilton) reprise their roles and arrive in Genoa City as Devon’s sister and mother.
Lott and Lawson are set to appear in multiple episodes beginning with the Y&R’s actual 13,000 episode which airs on Wednesday, November 13th when they join Bryton James as the nucleus of the Hamilton side of the family.
Chene’ Lawson was last seen on Y&R back in May of 2023 when “Harmony” returned home to surprise Devon. The actress is also the co-creator, Executive Producer, Director and cast member for the sci-fi scripted podcast, All Things Undone (ATU) which won the 2023 Webby Award for Best Scripted Podcast Series. The series reached the #1 position on the Apple Podcast fiction charts. Part Two of ATU will launch on Audible in Summer 2025.

As for Loren Lott, she last appeared on The Young and the Restless back in 2019 and since has been busy with multiple projects including guest-starring on the CW’s All American:Homecoming, a leading role in the film, Praise This and will guest star on the Based on a True Story, streaming next month on Peacock.

In the history of Anastasia “Ana” Hamilton was first played by Jamia Simone Nash from 2008-2012 before Lott took over the role from 2018-2019. As for “Harmony” Hamilton, she was first played by Lawson back in 2005-2006. Years later, Y&R brought All My Children favorite, Debbi Morgan (ex-Angie Hubbard) to the role from 2011-2012 and as noted previously Chene’ returned to the role with appearances in 2023.
So, glad to know Devon’s relatives are showing up for his wedding to Abby Newman? Are you looking forward to the ceremony, and do you think it will it go off without a hitch? Weigh-in via the comment section below.
Those characters never stay long so not sure if I really care they’re coming around.
Seems attempts to incorporate the Hamilton family just do not gain traction. There have been many plot turns — family ties, high profile romances, affairs, business partnerships, parentage — to establish Devon as core yet there is little consistent heat. And there should be that heat. Not sure what is missing.
Devon is missing. The actor who portrays Devon is not a leading man.
Look at Dru. She came on like a hurricane and soon they brought in her sister Olivia permanently with the beautiful Tonya Lee , followed by the charismatic Kristoff as Neil for a love interest which lead to his brother Malcolm , the infamous Shemar Moore. These actors shone and fans wanted more. Even Mishael Morgan s Amanda warranted an extended family and her sister Imani looked like she was going to stick around but both actresses seeked prime time work. Not to mention Amanda was not as exciting as Hillary.
Devon god bless is bland bland bland. Without a leading lady opposite who can really make him come alive he needs Lily and Nate to make the Winters family work. He alone with the equally boring Abby are not cutting it
I will say though firing Loren Lott as Ana was a huge mistake. She’s a keeper
Now all they have to do is bring back Mamie Johnson and the family will be (almost) complete. Olivia would be nice too.
Hope all goes well for the wedding, but I remember a fight that developed at a wedding between Jill and Kathryn, cake was flying every where, I don’t remember who was getting married. Given the current “mess” going on now anything might happen.

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

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

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.
