It’s really that time folks, as One Life to Live prepares to film it’s final weeks of episodes for ABC. Some more Llanview returns for fans to expect now include: Roscoe Born as evil incarnate Mitch Laurence, Jessica Tuck (Megan) and Susan Batten (Luna). Just how they will be utilized is yet to be uncovered They join the already announced Catherine Hickland, Brian Kerwin, Tonya Walker and Fiona Hutchison who all in the coming weeks set to tape shows at OLTL studios in New York.
So who else would you still like to see return? We all know that we want Judith Light as Karen, but there have been conflicting reports that she will not be returning, and some saying they spotted the name “Karen” on a script on Friday. Clearly, it would be the one super-get if it could happen.
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.

Apparanltly Judith Light forgot where she came from.
Really want Dorian back for the ending and Trevor St. John. Would also like to see RJ with Lindsey!
I am totally with you about TSJ and RS
Yeah what is up with Judith Light??? But i’m glad Luna, Alex, Gabrielle and Lindsey are back! Hope a lot of them follow to Prospect Park!
Waiting for Joe Lando to make it back. Any news on that?????
Would love to see Larry W. return. That was Vicki’s brother in law. That would be really nice to see him again. The Doctor.
Not thrilled about Mitch……he gets more rediculous every time he returns. I loved Megan and Luna. They were 2 of my all time faves. Megan’s death was a huge story at my college campus. Hundreds of people gathered in the Union and we all watched together. It was amazing.
Well there is no true finally without Robin Strasser as Dorian Lord! Now come on!!! Especially with Mitch Lawrence back!!
I am very excited so far about some favorites coming back. I hope many others will also make an apprearance like Max, Jake, Wanda, Larry, Deliah, Rafe, Karen, Kevin, Cassie, and Herb. And please, please, please Robin Strasser as Dorian. It will not be the same to see OLTL leave the airwaves without this diva of all divas. Give her four scenes to do. She has devoted 30 years of exceptional work to this genre.
What about Max? James DePaiva?
I want Marty and Patrick to return. OLTL really needs to fix the damage they did to Marty.
what about Oliver Fish ? And Stacey’s baby? Let’s get some info on them… You’d think Marcy would be visiting them., but most of all, Karen Wolak should come and visit Vicki.
I want Joe Lando / Jake to return, especially with Jessica Tuck / Megan back.
Really? More dead people? I would love to see the Woleks and Craigs return but it seems silly now as for 20-plus years no one on the OLTL staff seemed to care. So lighten up on Judith Light everybody.
I have only read good things spoken about her time on OLTL from interviews with Judith Light. She doesn’t seem like a snob at all. I don’t think she is turning her back….I think it is more they don’t have a story for her. She hasn’t been mentioned in 20 years.
I want Dorian!!!! I want Max!!! I would also love to see Larry Wolek & Ed Hall come back. Most of all, I wish that Marco (RIP, Gerald Anthony) could come back.
Hey what about having Bobby Blue (Blair Underwood’s breakout roll) come back as a judge or something? Just a thought.
Seriously Prospect Park needs to sign Robin Strasser!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She wants to do it too!!!!! Also want MAX HOLDEN BACK!!!! HELLOOOOOO! He is a legacy character too! Thrilled about Tina, Gabrielle and Megan! Though! But why is it we never see Megan with her very close sister Sarah Gordon in heaven?!?!?! Make it happen Ron!
Just give me Trevor St John and Robin Strasser, please!!!!!!!!
Would love to see Joe Lando. Since I have never had an opportunity to watch soap operas in the past, I would make a point of watching if Joe Lando returned.
He is such a talented actor and so handsome. Would be FANtastic.
If they’re going to bring Mitch Laurence back, then why not bring back one of the best villains in OLTL history….Carlo Hesser, especially since we have Tina and Cord back on the show. Would love to see them mix it up before the finale.
i got nothing…everyones said it one way or another
I an thrilled Mitch is coming back! He is and always will be the best villain in soap opera history! Having Mitch (Roscoe Born) on the show is a breath of fresh air. They seriously need to give Roscoe a four year contract. It’s sad that Roscoe only stay’s for three month stint’s.
