Lucas Adams departed The Young and the Restless on-screen back on the August 3, 2026 episode when Noah and Sienna Bacall (Tamara Braun) decided to leave Genoa City and head back to Los Angeles to get away from Matt Clark (Roger Howarth).
Adams had portrayed Nick (Joshua Morrow) and Sharon’s (Sharon Case) son for a little under a year having debuted on November 4, 2025. Previously, Adams played Tripp Dalton on Days of Our Lives from 2017-2024 with multiple runs on the soap opera.

Longtime General Hospital favorite, Kelly Monaco (ex-Sam McCall), took to her Instagram on Tuesday, September 15 and shared that she is six months, seven days sober from alcohol. Monaco played Sam for 21 years on the ABC soap opera.
Accompanied by a screenshot from the I Am Sober app that tracks the progress of anyone struggling with or trying to not drink, Monaco wrote, “Now the whole 6/7 thing makes sense! #duces.”
Monaco has kept a very low profile since her final episode on General Hospital aired back on October 30, 2024, when Sam had a shocking heart attack and died. It was later revealed that Daytime Emmy nominee, Jeff Kober (ex-Cyrus Renault) injected Sam’s IV with a fatal dose of digitalis.

KELLY MONACO HAS KEPT MORE TO HERSELF SINCE LEAVING GH
This year, Kelly has posted on her Instagram account a total of four times, most recently to celebrate her mother, Carmina’s birthday, who turned 70 just four days ago.
Jumping into the comment thread on Kelly announcing her sobriety were several of her former GH co-stars including Brandon Barash (ex-Johnny, GH) who shared, “Love this. Congrats! 👏👏👏,” Ingo Rademacher (ex-Jax, GH) who just posted the hands up and heart emojis, and Lexi Ainsworth (ex-Kristina, GH) who wrote, “So proud of you 👏 badass.”

DANCING WITH THE STARS BEGINS NEW SEASON; KELLY WAS THE SEASON ONE CHAMP
With this season’s Dancing with the Stars about to kick-off tonight, in which Kelly was the first-ever celebrity winner in season one and returned for an All-Star version, might we hear from her on her picks or thoughts on this year’s batch of contestants?
One thing has remained a constant with Kelly’s unwavering fan base, they want her back on General Hospital, because as we know in the soaps, many characters somehow come back from the dead, so why couldn’t Sam?
Share your thoughts for Kelly and her six months of sobriety via the comment section below and if you would still like to see her back on General Hospital or even another soap opera within the next few years.

Soap Alums Remembered During In Memoriam Segment at 78th Emmy Awards; Patrick Muldoon Omitted
During last night’s 78th annual Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony, as it does every year, the television academy paid tribute to those in the industry that they’ve lost over the last year; since the previous Emmys held each year in September.
Starting with an emotional tribute to the late Catherine O’Hara by three of her co-stars, Schitt’s Creek’s Annie Murphy and Dan Levy and Home Alone’s Macaulay Culkin, the segment then dovetailed into Noah Kahan performing “Bridge over Troubled Water” as the faces and the names of those being remembered were shown on the screen.
Daytime soap alums, who either stayed in the genre for the majority of their career, or went on to primetime success as well, were honored including: Anthony Geary (Luke, GH), Hayden Panettiere (Sarah, OLTL, Lizzie, GL, Juliette, Nashville), James Van Der Beek, (Dawson, Dawson’s Creek, and Stephen, ATWT), Gil Gerard (Alan, The Doctors), June Lockhart (Mariah, GH), Patricia Crowley (Mary, Port Charles and GH), Randolph Mantooth (Clay/Alex, Loving and The City, and Richard, GH) and Jon Cypher (Alex, ATWT and Arthur, Santa Barbara).

THOSE HONORED AND THOSE WHO WERE NOT
However, in a glaring omission, the producers of the In Memoriam failed to include Days of our Lives beloved star, Patrick Muldoon who played the OG Austin Reed and also Richard Hart on Melrose Place. Muldoon passed away in April of this year at 57.
After Kahan concluded his performance, a special tribute to Rob Reiner began with Jamie Lee Curtis taking to the stage to share some warm words about her late friend.
In a ironic and sad twist, Curtis shared ,“Last week, Robbie won an Emmy for guest actor in a comedy series for his beautiful work on The Bear, and he now holds the record of 48 years for the longest gap between acting Emmys, which was previously held by his father Carl Reiner, at 37 years.”
Reiner, who along with his wife, Michele Reiner were killed by their son, Nick Reiner, is currently awaiting a decision if he will stand trial. Prosecutors on Tuesday, shared they will not seek the death penalty if he is convicted at trial, but instead life in prison. Curtis said of Rob, “He was generous and kind and funny as hell, and a friend to all. We all miss Rob and Michele and all those we lost this year.” The Emmys then faded to black and went to commercial break.
So, were you happy to see those who you know from their work in soap operas included in the 2026 In Memoriam tribute at the Primetime Emmys? Share your thoughts in the comment section. But first, in case you missed it, you can watch it below.

More and more, this is getting too ridiculous. Instead of Summer, Y&R should give this so-called storyline to Courtney (Summer’s VERY ANNOYING BFF). And, besides, of the 2, Courtney is the real TRAIN-WRECK anyway…LOL!!!!! Yep.
Love this storyline. All awesome actors and wish them all the best.
I believe the killer driver is that evil Kelly!
Gosh, I could like this story but once again how much proof do people need to see it’s now “The Young and The Depressive”. There are some bright spots and I continually torture my soul and watch, because I’m over a 40 year loyalist to CBS’s daytime. I might have to do as I done back in November & December and skip episodes and only watch for whom I enjoy in performances. It’s sad to watch for performances and not the stories. The stories I’m liking is mighty lean.
We had Fen on drugs, Jack on drugs and now Summer with only 15 month into her tenure from Jill Phuck-up Phelps….geez! Where’s the romance at, don’t give me Tyler & Abby (I like her when in scenes with Abbotts or Newmans) or Noah & Courtney (poor RA, great talent stuck in no win story again) because there wasn’t a setup at all to have the viewers to get to know these characters as couples but it’s like Jill is throwing pasta against the wall to see if any will stick! YR writers take a clue from Days, which is doing it perfectly today. She would like the viewers to be invested in these dark, gloomy and dreaded stories and think it’s entertainment? Not to me at least but disappointment, anger, frustration and bewilderment.
JFP is the worse EP to write for women. At all her soaps she has headed, the women characters are weak, submissive, uninteresting and stereotyped always have women to fall at the feet of the men. She loves to write for male characters and have done a pretty good job for the masculine characters. The balance on YR is whacked, no romance, no levity or humor, no close friendships to say of, JFP makes “islands” on her soaps where most characters only interacting among a few and no feeling of community in Genoa City. Community feel has all characters inter-meshing with one another. They don’t have to have stories together just connections.
Why could Summer not be written as young, intelligent upcoming junior business executive at Jabot. She could be her mother’s daughter and have a side of devious attentions to move up the corporate ladder. But no we get another story coming from a soap about a girl being model, which has been rehashed & rehashed since the 1970s, nothing fresh or creative.
I just want my YR to be somewhat good & entertaining again, I know it will never be as Bill Bell’s YR but please writers stop using old writer’s ideas and put some imagination into the writing and let the viewers be inspired to watch.
OH it could be corrected quite easily by Kay Alden, Jack Smith and Ed Scott, sigh…..Bill’s team!
I like how you think. You should bring some of your insights to GetGlue. Com.
Would love to have you weigh in on the Y&R discussions.
I call it “The Dead And The Depressing”. If everything I have read on Jill Farren Phelps is True, I Wonder How Long CBS Is Going To Allow Jill To Torture Hunter King!
I find it ironic that after all the brouhaha about HK that she now has this big story coming on. If all of this was to work up publicity for her upcoming storyline I think that more than one person should be fired from this show. This whole sceniero reeks of something underhanded. You now what they say in show biz…..there is no such thing as bad publicity. This just leaves a very bad taste in my mouth.
And mine too, unless they either kill her off or keep her in a coma for a couple mts. and replace her with a more suitable Summer.
So predictable, of course Sharon will be off the show somehow, they won’t let her get away with her support of MM, be sure of that, she will pay but I think she knew what is coming, they knew she was close to MM, so why not give her a story that will eventually send her away, now Hk can get front and center attention without even saying a word, how convenient. If they say this was before all the MM stuff they are full of it.
I agree 100 %. I think she (H.K.) will be taking over the screen with one big story line after another just to keep her happy. Well once M.M. is gone I don’t give a hoot what happens. Ratings for Y&R are up right now but that’s because everyone wants to see M.M. final show. The joke is M.T.S (Nikki) & J.M.( Nick Newman) think its because of them. Read their twitter. Like their taking credit. Maybe next time guys hee hee!!
The story just got more interesting.
Not watching knowing what has alleged went down behind the scenes makes my stomach upset.
I think it is time to put Jill Farren Phelps in a COMA!!!
Jacqueline…you just made my day…HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Anyway, I don’t know if putting that fire-breathing JFP in an actual COMA would help. I mean…JFP is so heartless and so arrogant…so much so that she might like the coma. LOL!!!!!
I wish this young actress well in this storyline and hope she really pulls it off. So much pressure on her right now. I’ll be watching.
Maybe she should cancel her contract and leave while in a coma. That way the pressure is off her.
It seems like the wrong angle for the canvas right now. Last year at this same time we just finished Jack’s popping pills for pain– the we had Fen taking drugs, and now we have Summer. Is Courtney some kind of undercover cop? Or is Alex aka Zach a dirty cop selling drugs? I’m sure this twist has to be related to the Summer popping pills story. If they can related all three “drug stories” to this Courtney and Alex thing — okay, but just as a separate story– it has been down too often in the last year to go down that route yet again.
OMG
mind numbing
juvenile
teeny bopper
bubble gum
barbie
this is the best they can come up with?
UGH… at the very least… any modeling stories… should be left to B&B
why don’t we just prescribe coma’itis for the audience as well
I think that if I was in a COMA and someone had Y&R on, I would DIE!
@Jacqueline that has to be the funniest comment I have heard in a while and so refreshing! Right about now I am wishing they had never aged this character 10 years for all kinds of reasons.
LOL.
that is hilarious!
high 5 Jacqueline
very refreshing… in light of
Good one
Sharon would feel doubly guilty Jacqueline.
Jacqueline I wish I had thought of that , especially lately. HA HA
Phyllis would be so impressed that her daughter is in a coma just like her. Where in the hell are the writers? This is so stupid. Hunter is used to better writing on her Disney show!
I think all of the media attention has been leading up to this story line coming out .. Wow…anything to get the fans to stop watching the longest standing # 1 soap in the USA… The story lines are falling into place now…. I have not watched since the day Michael Muhney announced that he had been fired..Been watching the show since its original air date back in 1973… If MM is gone ..Then so am I…
I hope she stays in a coma and never wakes up.
Pam…me, too…LOL!!!!!
Kill her off the show!!! Take JFP with her. Y&R is going down the tubes very fast. It won’t be long now. Bye Bye 1st place rating.. Hello B&B!!
Not that or matters to me which company picks up the two shows, I just want them both to return. However I am highly disappointed at ABC simply because they owned those shows so they had absolutely NO reason whatsoever to cancel them. Y on earth did they do so???? I REALLY & TRULY HOPE & PRAY that Prospect Park sues the pants & panties off ABC if this ENTIRE ISSUE goes to trial. I LOVE AMC & OLTL…But ESPECIALLY OLTL. I want them both to return in a HURRY!!!!
How sad today. Its getting closer guys. Billy in Adam’s condo knows something and Adam almost cried when Billy left. What marvelous actors and what a shame we lost them and Hunter King I hope she dies in the coma. I can;t stand to see her or Eric Braden.
ITA! After Summer dies we actually find out that neither Nick or Jack is Summer’s dad, but that Danny Romalotti is the father of Summer!
That would be a funny one Sharonda. But as long as they kill her off I don’t care. The stupid way the story goes she will probably need a blood transfusion and that will tell the answer. But I made myself a promise once Adam is off at the end of the month so am I & the only thing I’ll vote for is Bold & Beautiful and General hospital.
After all the Michael Muhney/Hunter King ongoing saga, I wouldn’t be surprised if they leave her in a coma, let her die, or send her off on a modeling assignment and let her contract run out, like they did Michael Muhney. Never more to see her again.
Today Chelsea & Adam got married. It was so sad to hear Adam promise Chelsea how he would spend his life making her happy but with tomorrow’s previews as he says goodbye to Jack that old fool that has his big ugly nose in everything walks in. I just knew he would have to spoil the moment. What I like about Victor is the Mute button on the T.V. gets some usage.
Fran…I TOTALLY AGREE!!!!! I cannot stand old Igor…I mean Victor (LOL!!!!!), either!!!!! And…that’s how I feel when that annoying wail-fest Nikki cries and rambles on and on about ‘her son’ Dylan The DULLARD…I reach for the Mute button on my remote control…QUICKLY!!!!!!! Yep.
