Yesterday, Criminal Minds and Daytime Emmy winner star Shemar Moore was at the set of The Young and the Restless taping scenes his previously announced two-day appearance and guest star return as Malcolm Winters on the number one soap opera, which will air on September 10th and 11th!
Moore took to his Instagram account and posted this message with a picture of himself stating: “Just finished shooting THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS.. 2 episodes in one day.. REALLY GREAT to work with my OLD FRIENDS again!! 10 years later it felt like just yesterday once we started performing.. It’s short n sweet n dramatic of course.. HOPE YOU Y&R FANS ENJOY IT.. Airing Sept 10 and 11 on CBS… I felt really good to be welcomed home… Where MY CAREER BEGAN 20 YEARS AGO!!!”
And today PEOPLE.com had a first look photo from the shooting day featuring Moore and on-screen brother Kristoff St. John (Neil) where they also revealed that during their scenes, “Malcolm and Neil discuss Drucilla, the popular character played by Victoria Rowell. (Drucilla was married to Neil but slept with Malcolm). Sadly, the actress won’t be there to join in on the fun.”
Shemar added: “I ran into her (Rowell) a couple weeks ago. I told her I’m sorry we won’t be all together. That would be pretty great, but as far as I know, Dru has passed away.”
So, getting more interested in the return of Malcolm Winters? What do you think about the fact Neil and Malcolm will chat about Dru? Comment below!
Blah. Who cares. Sigh. At least it’s the real Malcolm. Not like it matters with only two episodes though. And as far as I’m concerned, VR has verbally burned too many bridges to come back, which stinks because the fans are the ones who lose.
C’mon Y & R, forgive, forget, bring Dru back as a ghost full of mischief and mayhem…and pathos and poignancy…
Maybe the writers are just playin and Dru will return…lol
Please Y&R forget and forgive and give Victoria (Dru) a chance to write some of the episodes, I said and repeat at least “some”, you may find that you like it and that they will work wonders for the show. Please let us of color b able to see that Y&R is not what has been claimed. Many of us are very gifted, and gifted with more thab being able to run a ball, hit a ball, dance, sing, and yes ACT, we are also awesome and gifted writers, did not Angilou wrote beautiful and moving poetry as did Phillis Wheatley. Come please, give it a try. Nell and Dru are an awesome unit, the couple you have today just is not gathering fan welcome and embrace….
They never forgot or forgave Brenda Dickson so I doubt they will ever forgive Rowell.
Not to mention that Rowell keeps picking at the wound. Loved her as Dru, but she’s got issues that are hazardous to her career.
MBmomof3…yes. I agree. Also…if you want to, think about this: More and more, I’m actually surprised that VR STILL has a career left at all. Over the years, she has burned SO MANY bridges. YIKES!!!!!
It seems she is just not worth the trouble.
They discuss Dru– I hope they mention Sophia too– since Neil slept with his brother’s fiancee or were they were married when he did, I forget. Anyway– still looking forward to appearance no matter how brief.
What did Ms Rowell do or say ?
The same things she’s continuing to do to this day instead of letting sleeping dogs lie. She claimed she was released from her contract after Bill Bell passed and Sony acquired the show along with CBS. She rants and raves about how Proctor and Gamble were racists(they were) as a company..she had an on going feud with Michelle Stafford who played Phyllis and more or less alluded to some nefarious goings on with Michelle and Melody Scott’s husband who was EP back then. She claims to want a return and in the next breathe and blog she’s tearing the Bosses of Y&R/CBS/SONY/P&G a new one. They certainly gave her a brutal death that Lily witnessed and the actress Christell Kalil was none too fond of her either. She had frequent rants and raves on set…and on and on…
How great would it be to have Malcolm come visit more often? Shemar Moore works for another CBS show so I would imagine it wouldn’t be too hard to facilitate Malcolm appearing every now and then, like the way Beth Maitland pops up every now and then as Tracy.
But what would really be amazing is if Victoria Rowell could return. I’ve missed Dru so much since she was “killed-off,” and since Sharon fell off the same cliff and came back alive, I’m sure they could find a way to write Dru back in.
Dru?! she s been dead since the last time malcolm came back to town!
whrs Liv?! Olivia s needed in town, to mix it up with neil and that hot new doc husband of leslie ‘s!!!
speaking of leslie, missing her and especially Tyler!!!…
I dont see the point of bringing back Malcom just to talk about Dru being dead…unless Dru is alive and like Adam we will get to see her hand for months…maybe hands newman is somehow connected to the hands winters plot…lol
Now that’s a good one, Newman hand for months
Welcome home Melcomb. Y&R offer him another contract and bring Nell’s brother back home full time. Ir was good seeing them together and the scene where he got Nell to say he is afraid about being blind was touching and emotional and I personally can relate to each it, for in 2007 a stroke took the sight in my left eye and I now am faced with the possibility of losing the sight in my right from Type 2 Diabetes ( glaucoma/cataract…Thet are great together, would love to see more…..
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.
