Great news this morning out of Soap Opera Digest, that feisty, fun firecracker Marcy Rylan, has been asked back to The Young and the Restless after she was part of the recent cast cuts and shown the front door at the number one soap.
According to SOD; Rylan will now bring her Abby Newman back to the canvas on recurring basis though. T he popular actress will start taping new episodes in January.
So will Abby and Carmine (Marco Dapper) have a future? Is Abby coming back for some Newman drama?
Soapers, are you glad she is coming back, although not a contract? Let us know your thought!
So far not impressed in the least with the new regime. The sets for Avery and Victor are a nice change but the stories seem to be all over the place.
For the love of God, let this be the LAST wedding for Victor and Nikki.
Hearing Marcy Rylan is coming back may keep me watching, she was a breath of fresh air in a stale old show.
JFP trademark is look and special effects, not story. This has still been proven right again.
Exactly. JFP destroys every soap she goes to. She destroyed Another World which eventually led to their demise and ruined OLTL when she was at the helm there. She was the reason the impeccable Robin Strasser left OLTL in 2001 because of JFP. Thank god, I don’t watch the Y&R. LOL.
She should never have been let go. She is one of the freshest actresses to be seen on this soap in ages. Now, if you would only do something about keeping “Daniel” in town. He deserved to have a storyline also.
I agree with everything you said, Diane.
I was also really starting to like Jennifer Landon paired with Michael Graziadei, but it is too bad they let her go.
Daniel was exciting with Amber and I found that his scenes were Lily made her as part of a couple enjoyable. I just want to fall asleep when Crystal and Daniel Goddard share scenes together. To me, they are boring. Now when she had lunch with Leslie the other day, I enjoyed her scenes.
Fantastic news. I know I’m in the minority, but I am really enjoying the show. It’s more serious and relatable. It’s not perfect but I am very happy with the improvements. Abby being fired and not even written off, was the one big mistake. Happy they are correcting.
I am so happy for the character of Abby being back and so so SO happy for Marcy Rylan and her little family (two little boys like me) that she will have a job, albeit recurring. Marcy is such a sweet woman and she never should have been let go in the first place.
I think they realize that Abby was an important character and getting rid of her was an error in judgement I am grateful they are willing to correct. If gives me hope that they will do what is in the best interest of the show, over their own egos.
Well, thank god Phelps and Griffin realized what a mistake it was letting her go.
Now, if they would only send Fen to Canada or wherever the hell Scottie is supposed to be and put Summer into a coma I would be really thrilled.
Good news! She’s a great actress. Too bad she’s no longer on contract, maybe one day.
I like it too. It’s just Classic Story telling. I love that Chloe is getting a decent story. I’m excited about the new additions to the show
Can only agree it IS “fantastic” that Marcy is the one bringing back the Abby we all love. She was made for that role. She makes Abby entertaining, but not irritating.
Not every actress can carry off that spoiled brat, diva personality without making you hate them. 😉
PLEASE put her on contract!!!
We need to give it time. It is much better than the crap we had with MAB and I think the new regime is trying to provide what has been missing from Y&R for some time now – Telliing a tale and watching it unravel.
Oh, and I am glad Marcy is back!
YESSSSSSSSSS! Abby is a huge part of the show-she is connected to almost everyone! And Marcy Rylan is to die for adorable!. Can’t wait, bring Carmine with her! He is so FINE he hurts my eyes! (but in a good way!, ha)
So glad she is back. She was my favorite on Guiding light and has been my favorite on here. She helps to make the show more interesting. Love her. Phyllis needs to go and give Abby a contract. Can’t stand Phyllis.
Love that she’s back. Y&R needs a spark.
Letting Marcy go was a huge mistake! She was adorable and had finally evolved her once cartoon character into a well grounded character. Now lets see what she can do with a good writer for a change!
Not to mention they have story left to tell. What happened to all her shares of Newman stock? There’s definitely more there.
I am delighted ! The teen age new comers have been tres boring – except NewNoah is getting interesting. Abby was a brat but an amusing brat.
I’m VERY glad she’s back. So far, this is the only good decision made by the horrid JFP. The show is stinking up the screen as badly if not worse than it did under MAB. Not something I thought was possible.
Why TPTB insist on recycling failed producers like JFP who have killed other soaps instead of investing in people who actually love the genre more than their own egos is beyond me.
At least getting Marcy back is ONE step in the right direction. I’ve been unable to watch this trainwreck of a show. When she’s back, then so will I be.
YAY!!!!!
I’m in the minority here, because I do not like Abby, and was thrilled when she was writen out.
I also like what JFP has contributed to the show so far. I am very pleased with the Sharon/Adam/Chelsea storyline, and I love Avery and Nick. I do miss Daniel, Lucy and Daisy however, so I would love to see them return.
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.
