After the complicated twists and turns of season two of ABC’s hit primetime soap drama in the Hamptons, Revenge, season three looks by all accounts to have been freshened up and streamlined so viewers can continue to invest in the characters they love and hate … or, in the case of Revenge, think they love and hate until the next bombshell drops!
One of the most charismatic cast members of the series, who is adored by fans worldwide, is Gabriel Mann, who plays the ingenious and cunning software inventor and computer hacker, Nolan Ross. While Nolan is best buds with his “Ems”, Emily Thorne (AKA Amanda Clarke) their relationship has been on a bit of a rocky road of late. Meanwhile in season two, Nolan’s love life was a big ole’ mess: there was that girl, and yes, there was that guy. In addition, Nolan found himself in the middle of plenty of peril and danger thanks to the Graysons!
On-Air On-Soaps caught up with Gabriel to chat about his presence on Twitter, which rivals no other from the ABC drama, what he thought of the conundrum Nolan found himself in season two, and where it’s all heading for the beloved character as we kick-off season three Sunday night at 9PMEST/8PMCST!
I love how enthusiastic you are on Twitter for your show! You are really into it. You have truly harvested that whole aspect of social media for promoting, touting, and engaging fans who watch Revenge! How come you decided to take social media by storm?

GABRIEL: I realized it was a show that is so fan driven, that it only makes sense as that feedback started to roll in as the series had been going for awhile. It was really nice to have that interaction with people. It became really nice to have this organic process of getting people’s feedback and the way that consciously or unconsciously it will start to play in the way things go on the show. Whether it be the performance, or what have you, that is a real miracle of modern technology and social media. We are so lucky that this year we have everyone from our show runner, Sunil Nayar, down to give or take a few of our actors who have not jumped on the bandwagon yet. We have our writers, producers, and showrunner on Twitter! I think it makes for a sort of more in-depth way of experiencing the show than just watching it.
What did you think about season two for Nolan and his confusing love life? He had this relationship with Padma (Dilshad Vadsaria), and then there’s his ex Marco (E. J. Bonilla), who walks back into his life! Were you saying to yourself, “Where is this going?” Did it kind of seem to get lost in translation to you in the middle of the story?

GABRIEL: I think we all were like, “Where is this going with the show?” (Laughs) So much of the time we don’t know what is going to happen next, but I think season three is very much refocused. We are out of the boardroom and back to the beach! I would say sexual manipulation is a big part in season three. We got to explore what Nolan would be like if he had a High School sweetheart and a prom date in season two. And certainly now that has been destroyed, I think he is busier now taking numbers and not taking names this season. Is it love …or, is it revenge? I think we will have to wait and see! Nolan is not on the path to looking for true love. Whether he stumbles across it, who knows? Would that make me scared for the character who plays his love interest? Yes, because it usually doesn’t end well for people who fall in love with Nolan! (Laughs)
What do you think now about the friendship between Emily (Emily VanCamp) and Nolan? It has endured, but there seems to be some significant trust issues there!

GABRIEL: Absolutely! I think there will continue to be trust issues between the two of them, but I think at the very least, there is a common ground and common understanding between the two of them that is a jumping off point for where this season begins. I think they now have a common interest in taking down a common enemy, because they both have been hurt in very deep and irreparable ways by this very devious, evil, and ubiquitous family. I think that will set them up in a similar path in season three.
Do you think this character of Nolan Ross is everything you now want it to be? It really took off for you when the audience, and I presume the writers, took notice of how well you delivered the one-liners and zingers, and then you were able to bring the dramatic elements to it in your performance. You seem to have shaped this role and informed it.
GABRIEL: Thank you, that’s a good way to put it. For me, you want to be just more than a one-liner. It really was important for me to find the heart and soul of who this guy was, and sort of keeping the balance of being great with a quip, but at the same time having a heart as big as Texas, and at the same time sort of being able to be kind of devious. Somewhere in between those three things is where I firmly wanted this character to live.
So, as we head into the premiere of season three, what do you think we can expect for Nolan’s journey? Is he getting to the place where you want him to be?

GABRIEL: I am really happy as to where we have come so far, but I am even more excited to continue to explore where he goes next. I think we have seen what it looks like when Nolan has his heart broken. We have seen what it looks like when Nolan is very, very angry. We have seen what it looks like when Nolan is out for blood. So now what happens when he is all of those at once? It’s about taking all of those elements and infusing them together. Yeah, I think we will see a little bit older, a little bit wiser, and a little bit tougher, but certainly as sharp as ever Nolan Ross in season three!
So, Revenge fans, what are you hoping for Nolan Ross for season three of the series? Romance, revenge, or something else? Are you enjoying Gabriel’s performances? Share your thoughts below!
Another great interview Thanks Michael. Love Nolan and Gabriel Mann is such a sweetheart <3 This Aussie fan cannot wait for Revenge Season 3 to start. So excited about Justin Hartley joining the show and breaking some hearts. My poor Nolan to get out of jail .
Lovin Gabriel Mann/Nolan Ross.., he is awesome!!
Season 3 of Revenge will be great, looking forward to its return tomoor night!!!
Revenge and Scandal are 2 must see prime time soaps!! Drama at its best!!
I love Revenge and haven’t missed an episode! I LOVE Nolan/Gabriel… he is my favorite character and actor on the show. I wish we saw more of him! Gabriel is very talented and extremely interesting… I just want to see more and love the complexities he brings to Nolan. I want more of Nolan with Emily/Amanda and more of Nolan with everyone else… love Gabriel as Nolan!!!
I would love to see E.J. Bonilla return as Marco and have that relationship explored. I really didn’t get any sense of closure or understanding of the dynamics between Marco and Nolan.
Oh yes! My “favorite fabulous fashionisto” finally returns!!!!! Nolan is simply adorbs….love his witty, urbane humor, way with words, unwavering loyalty and of course, his cool, preppy goes haute look. A better BFF could not be desired….so envious of Ems!!! That being said, the show is always at its prime when Mr. Ross is gracing the screen with his presence….as far as I’m concerned, there is no “Revenge” without Gabriel Mann!!! He is like the ultimate, essential fashion accessory come to colorful life….and speaking of, hope his new digs include a massive walk-in wardrobe….would like nothing better than to see this designer devotee larking about in his extensive collection of chic, sartorial splendor!
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.
