Michael Graziadei Returns to The Young and the Restless
In exciting casting news, Michael Graziadei (Daniel) is heading back to his home in Genoa City and The Young and the Restless.
According to Soap Opera Digest, Graziadei’s return will happen some time this fall.
Michael has previously played Phyllis’s (Michelle Stafford) son in his initial run on the CBS soap from 2004-13, and once again in 2016.
Stafford shared the news of Graziadei’s return on her Instagram sharing a pic of the two and expressing: “Well… I hear the cat is out of the bag #myfirstborn”
In return, Michael commented back in Stafford’s IG post, “Can not wait to work with you again!”
Most recently, the actor had been seen in the Netflix series, The Lincoln Lawyers.
In addition, Michael has been a busy dad to his twin boys, Oliver and Arlo, born in 2021.
We’ll keep you updated with more news on Michael’s Y&R rin the coming weeks.

Well I hope it’s a real return and not just a guest shot. I’d like to see his great actors’ chemistry with Michelle Stafford again and, maybe, a renewed flirtation with Lily, who needs to ditch that albatross called Billy. I hope Michael will ditch that facial hair also. Why so many great-looking men want to hide their faces or look prematurely gray is a mystery to me. Just because it worked for Clooney doesn’t mean everyone needs to do it.
Losing the beard will make Me. G look younger next to the ever youthful Ms. Stafford. It will be good for Daniel to return. I am hoping for some solid storytelling now that families are being restored.
Soaphound…So glad you mentioned men and facial hair. Way too much of it going on. Everywhere. Especially the big, scruffy beards a lot of guys are wearing. Also, I’m not familiar with Michael as Daniel. But anything to distract Phyllis from the Diane obsession would be welcome. She should have never sold the hotel.
Put him with Cassi’ s twin Mariah! Messa need a serious story push. I ve been ffwd them for a years now.
…
Still waiting for Josh Griffith to be put to pasture. Geez. What does it take to get a writer fired. Mal Young lasted a year and I comparison he was light years ahead the current crap
So he is coming to the wedding, maybe he will have four or five lines of dialog at the wedding. Bet his daughter won’t appear…
I love Michael and have been hoping for a return. I wonder how old his daughter Lucy will be upon re-entry to GC. It would be nice to have Lily and him reconnect, especially since it looks like they are developing a triangle with Chelsea and Victoria for Billy and his two biological children. Speaking of triangles, how many women have Nick and Adam now shared???
I’m with you on this, Margherita. And I’ve now lost all lingering respect for Nick Newman. How low can you sink? I could (though I’m not sure I do) forgive Sally for being vulnerable and/or on the rebound; Nick has no such excuse. And Adam has been reaching out to him in such a touching way. And still, this will be ANOTHER case of Adam being held to one standard and Nick another, namely instant absolution. I’m disgusted by this predictable, sordid turn of events because the current storytelling is of such “quick thrill”, no imagination lack of quality. But I am UP TO HERE with Nick and supercilious Victoria trashing Adam. I say check your own trash before dumping on your brother again!
Yes! Such poor storytelling
Nick and Adam since Josh ‘ the hack’ Griffith took over have been on a personality merrigoround
Nick has done a 180 and turned into a slick business tycoon who ruthlessly sleeps with his bros ex and his daughters archenemies! Where is Summer in this equation?!
Sharon , inwhich we were teased a reunion?!
I thought Nick was done with Newman and he and Adam made ammends?!
I d much rather see Adam and Nick team up against ol mustache
But Josh Griffith is hopeless here asusual
Garbage turn of events
Glad he’s coming back. Maybe when Billy hooks up with Chelsea,Daniel will be around to pick up the pieces with Lily.
YES!!❤️
Hope he comes back and takes his horrible mother back with him. Diane will probably turn out as bad as everyone thinks she is, but I hope she really takes down RED before she goes.That woman has got to be the nastiest thing that ever hit Y&R.
It looks like the current run of Lucas Adams (Noah)Â and Tamara Braun (Sienna)Â 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.
