Mishael Morgan Makes a Return to The Young and the Restless
Just in time for the show’s 50th anniversary, Daytime Emmy winner, Mishael Morgan (Amanda Sinclair) is making another return to The Young and the Restless beginning next week.
Morgan had previously gone off contract with the iconic soap to pursue other acting and career opportunities, and fans have already seen her on primetime in recent months.
So, what brings her character of Amanda Sinclair back to Genoa City after she left last time following catching Devon (Bryton James) and Abby (Melissa Ordway) in a heavy make-out session on Devon’s couch? Well, Amanda is going to represent Lily (Christel Khalil) in court against Devon in their sibling battle over Chancellor-Winters. Now, that could be juicy!
In the latest issue of Soap Opera Digest on newsstands now, Morgan shared: “I realized right after I had gone off contract that the 50th was coming up and I was like, ‘Oh, shoot’. But then I remembered that Amanda is still alive and it all worked out that I could be here for this iconic period.”

Morgan had posted a photo of herself on Instagram just outside CBS Television City where Y&R tapes four weeks ago and expressed: “So nice to be back, for a few days. I really missed you Genoa city!”
Looking forward to seeing Mishael back for a few episodes of Y&R? Do you want Amanda to help Lily win her case against Devon? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.
I like Ms. Morgan. Very much. Sadly, Amanda St. Clair is a bore. The family storyline lacked drive and suspense and no one mattered enough to be integrated into the canvas, not even the sassy half-sister. Amanda and Devin are a snooze. I had thought we would get a new generation version of the days of Neil, Drusilla, Malcolm, and Olivia. Guess not. What is Amanda and Christine and Michael form a law firm and we get a little mystery action a la Edge of Night.
I loved seeing her with Devon although her face is the same and name is different I hated that they killed off her twin sister! We’ve seen it a thousand times where characters didn’t really die and I’d love nothing more than to see the “real version of her returning” even if to say she disappeared when she was suppose to have died in car wreck to find what she wanted in life and losing the baby made her go into deep depression so she faked death and studied to get law degree then returned the first time because she had to be close to Devon then things happened and Devon will realize WHY the attraction was there because it was Hilary the whole time! Devon deserves that happiness back and I hope they sleep together while she’s there and she turns up pregnant. Hopefully she slips some how letting the truth out she’s really Hillary and walking in on him seeing him making out on the couch destroyed her. To make it more juicy maybe Phyllis knew all along it had been Hillary, remember she was close with Hillary then BAM look how close she became with Amanda! Shewww that would make a killer story line
Amanda is back as Lilys lawyer. She is going to get her revenge on Devon for cheating on her.
I agree. She’s an amazingly good actress but I’m getting tired of the dramatic exits and returns.

__ 2 thumbs Up !! __
Me too , she’s so pretty
I would like that, accept Thee Victor Newman Sr would have Michael manipulate Christine & Amanda to do his biddings, but that would also be something worth watching, especially when the womenfind out.
She’s beautiful
This is in reply, to LAKOVOS
I miss Neil!
C’mon back Amanda and release your wrath. Devon deserves every bit of it! He should be knocked down a notch or three. He’s beside himself these days. I remember your other side from past episodes with you, Neal & Davon. So, #releaseyourwrath. If you are back for a brief period of time make the IMPACT WORTH WATCHING LIKE I KNOW YOU CAN!
Ajackson,
Oh yeah, come back and repent for all the times you and Devon,made out right in front of your blind husband Neil. You make me sick, what a hipocrite!
Ajackson and others,
Please forgive the terrible goof! I got so carried away thinking about that time that I’d forgotten it was Hillary not Amanda. So glad no one noticed my post.
I like Mishael Morgan too, and I hated that they killed off Hilary. I grew to love the character – MM is an excellent actress. But the role of Amanda never gave her a chance to show her talent. Also pairing her with Devon may have been an attempt to re-create the Hilary/Devon pairing – if that was the goal it fell flat and a stupid idea anyway. While happy for her in winning the Best Actress Emmy, I would go so far as to say it also puzzled me because I felt that this role was not worthy. Her best scene was probably when she caught Devon and Abby.
I liked her with Devon better than Devon with Abby. I really liked Amanda and I don’t like Nate he is going to hurt elana and he does not need to be with Victoria. Bad casting.
I liked Nate when he first came on, but now he can’t seem to keep his zipper zipped and I think him and Victoria deserve each other and daddy dearest needs to take her toys away from her and kick her out of the sandbox.
I Agree
Yes, I want her to win the case
No I don’t want her to win the case Hamilton Winters belongs to Devon
That’s right I agree 100%..Lilly should know better!!
I don’t want Lily to win, she thinks just because Jill put her in charge somehow that the company belongs to her, so I want Devon to win HamiltonWinters back it belongs to him and only him. And I don’t care for the whole Devon/Abby thing they got going on.
And I want Nick and Sally together, let Adam go after Chelsea. Nick deserves to finally get the girl he deserves and wants. Summer needs to get her nose out of her daddy’s life and tend to her own marriage.
I TOTALLY AGREE
I agree with you about Lilly, but Nick need to stop sleeping with Adams women, and go find his own. Also why do he feel he feel the need to take all if Adams kid’s
Joy,
First of all you don’t know what the hell you’re talking about. I don’t see a sign around Sally’s neck that says property of Adam Newman and seeing as how she slept with both men, played one against the other, Adam just happened to be this baby’s father. Do you know that Christain, is also Adam’s son because he had sex with Nick’s wife and after she died there was a long fight with Victor trying to take the baby away from Nick. Adam agreed to let him raise the boy as his own but he’ll try one of these days to get him back, I’m sure. Adam is self centered and wants everything his brother and sister have, doesn’t want to share.
I So Agree With Your Response… Totally!
Peggy
I agree with you entirely. I’m not liking Devon and Abby but that has nothing to do with Devon wanting to maintain his family business.I think Lily is doing the wrong thing helping Jill try to take it away from him. Also, has everyone forgotten the part Amanda played when she and Devon fell in love when she was married to Neil and she and Devon cheated and made out right in front of him when he was Blind. Sorry, she’s not a little miss goody two shoes.
I Agree
I agree with you, give Devon his company back.
I agree. Hamilton Winters belongs to Devon. He did not sign up for making his company a public entity, which could put it at risk for a take over. Hopefully he will win his case. Lili may come to wish she had never pursued taking her company public and could lose everything in the process.
Sandra D.,
I don’t quite understand all the business aspects and honestly if everything hits the fan because Victor has payed Jill off so he can have Devons part for Adam, I’m wondering how much Lily has invested on her own or is it all Chancelor money?
No I don’t want her to win the case.
I don’t.
Devin was pressured into to merging, he was skeptical from the beginning, he is not a greedy person and money was not his first concern, fools rush in where wise men fear to tread, impulsive people beware !
Mishael Morgan / Hilliary was a powerful character that had my full attention when she was on my screen..
Hillary was the #1 character an awesome character..
It was a huge mistake to create Amanda Sinclair-
that character was an empty boring character that should have never been..
And– for Mishael Morgan having to portray a dull lackluster character after her powerful performance as Hilliary was a total slap to her..
imo
I miss Mishael and Amanda. I hope she comes back and mops the floor with Devon!
Her coming or going is okay with me. I just think that Lily and Jess needs to lose this battle.
I hope Amanda comes back and turn the table on lily.
No l don’t want Lily to win
Yes, I want lily to win
I’m so tired of characters leaving and returning. Please writers of Y&R get a new writing staff and move on!
Yes i wish she could calll me
It so sad about Devon @ Lily
No, I think Lily is wrong and Devon should have his company back, Lily is shady to ask Amanda to help, if she love her brother as she says why is she throwing salt in his wound? disappointed in the Lily we knew…
MM is a good actress but her character was a snooze fest. Her whole sl was so boring. I don’t want her to come back just to get between Lilly and Devon.
I miss Amanda’s character on the show very much. Mishael Morgan is a tremendously talented young lady. Wish she was back permanently.
I AGREE
No I don’t want her to win the case and Lilly should sit down somewhere because if it wasn’t for her kept pressuring Devon in the first place trying to impress Billy and Jill they wldn’t be in this mess. She didn’t think of she might not be with Billy forever she was just caught up in the feelings and living for the moment didn’t think about the what if it doesn’t work out..bad choice Lilly so disappointed how you’re treating devon.
I would like for them to come to some sort of agreement. Two siblings who have been through so much need to get through this. Let Devon run McCall. It can be a great success.
No I don’t think Lily should get Devon’s company. He’s been running a company from the beginning now. She’s gonna come along and take everything from him I don’t think so
I don’t want Jill or Lily to win, because it belongs to Neal and Devon and he was only trying to do something with his Sister Lily as far as Family. Also why does Jill want it to go Public??
WHEN ARE THE WRITERS GOING TO INCORPORATE MOSES INTO THIS BUSINESS CORPORATION SINCE NEITHER LILY NOR DEVON ARE NEIL’S CHILDREN MOSES IS NEIL’S ONLY BIOLOGICAL CHILD AND HE OF ALL PEOPLE SHOULD HAVE SOME SAY ABOUT HIS FATHER’S BUSINESS ..BESIDES HOW MANY BUSINESSES DOES DEVON NEED SINCE MS.CHANCELOR LEFT HIM HER MONEY..
I don’t agree with Lilly. I think she should lose. That’s Devon company. I don’t like Lilly acting hard ball. Amanda would want revenge on Devon but I hope she loses. She can’t last on the show after the trial, who is there for her to pair up with ?
No I hope Lilly does not win. She is being so selfish. She didn’t build Hamilton winters her brother did. Y&R has really taken this to a bad level. I hope Devon wins
Devon already has his way out even without court. Thanks to Ashley, he has a new journey about to take place. Even though it is not going to be a Newman purchase
no Devon should be able to keep his company. Lily is only an employee of Chancelor so she doesn’t understand what his company means to him. Amanda’s personal feelings for Devon shouldn’t come into the courtroom. But this is the Young and the Restless.
What happened to the family of Amanda? Did everyone just die? And why don’t you bring Moses back on did he breakup with Faith. Are they not on show?
Oh no I didn’t like her can’t u ppl find other actors everyone has slept with everyone. Get a better story going.
Lily should win lily’s case…
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.
