After the news a month ago that Sofia Pernas (Marisa) was now recurring on The Young and the Restless, the talented actress landed a gig on the upcoming CW pilot Transylvania.
Now comes word from Pernas herself that she is back taping new episodes in Genoa City. Sofia posted on her Instagram a photo of herself with Robert Adamson (Noah) and Alyvia Alyn Lind (Faith).
The actress expressed: “Aways the greatest working with these two; little Aly is always the most professional one on set, no lie #yr #confessions #mondaymood”
Pernas will be seen next on the May 5th episode of the CBS Daytime drama.
Are you hoping there continues to be more Marisa on Y&R? Comment below!
I don’t like Marisa at all, she is very annoying. I want Noah to be gay, and pair him up with Kevin Fisher.
I like Marissa — just not with Noah. I would prefer to see Noah with a new girl who would be about his age level. I don’t think it would be believable to see him with Kevin.
I think the Koah combo would be a great match.
Carol: I swear you read my mind. They’d be a couple worth tuning in for. Not sure the network could handle the Heat from those two gorgeous, unlucky-in-love men. But I sure could.
Except that Kevin Fisher wants to be with Natalie.
Why? Marisa is a needless character. Sofia Pernas is very beautiful and talented, but the character is not needed. Hopefully Marisa returns to take Luca out of town, because he’s another character who’s aggravating and useless.
And while they’re at it, send Natalie packing too, I can’t stand her. Side note: does the actress remind anyone else of Elizabeth Hendrickson, with the way she speaks and acts? She could be her younger sister, easily.
Jimmy…I (also) CANNOT STAND Natalie!!!!! And…that recent and so-called ‘makeover’ has made Natalie EVEN MORE ANNOYING!!!!! Truly lame.
Jaybird: I know! Who’d have believed she was actually cuter before !
I actually like Natalie and the actress who plays her.
I noticed the resemblance from day one,–who knows maybe Esther had another kid she forgot giving birth to or gave away off screen and Natalie is her–LOL
agree with Jaybird, Natalie is annoying.
Marisa should have left with Marco!
The actress who plays Natalie should have been a Chloe recast!
IF they are not casting more of Luca’s family, especially his father to go toe to toe with Victor, dump him!
No, I’m not hoping there will be more Marisa. Don’t like the character and don’t like Marisa with Noah.
Clap clap clap clap clap
They brought Kyle back to end his relationship with Glummer, hopefully she will return to end her smooch fest with Noah and leave town FOREVER!
Yes!
I’d rather see Jessica Leccia in the role. Imo.
We need her on for good, I like her and I am glad that she Latin/Hispanic and it’s good for the show to show and keep minorities on board.
I cannot believe all the comments about not wanting her on it- WOW crazy idiots!
More minorities Y&R !!!!
The Winters clan is well represented on the show and their story lines suck!
It has nothing to do with her being a minority. The character does not add anything to the show and I don’t like her with Noah.
The problem with me as far as Marissa is that she is one in a long list of characters that this team brought to the show and shoved down our throats before we barely knew their names. That Noah, who had just lost his lady love could fall so quickly in love with this always sad and pouting character was beyond belief. Rebound, maybe, but eternal love, NO. I don’t get Marisa, I have not been told a story I believe about Marisa, I didn’t even know she was gone, that is how much I really think about her. I only get annoyed when she shows up on screen. Nothing against the actress, just the character. Hope she is back to take Luca with her.
Gina, you summed it up perfectly. The actress is actually quite capable but the character is nearly always frowning or in some dire situation. Do we even know which of her many tall tales have proven true or false? I can’t stand Luca the character but must admit I find Miles G-V sexy, so I’m torn on that one. But why Summer? Hasn’t she gone through enough handsome actors, resulting in their losing their jobs? Kyle (2, actually), Austin, Fen (sort-of); will Luca be next?
I’d forgotten how much I didn’t miss Marissa…
as much as i liked marissa and noah… if any female character is needed back on the show it s avery!!
y n r needs to rectify the mess they created with her character because dylans really going to need her when sullys paternitys revealed
I tend to agree with Damien. Yes, Avery could help clear up this “baby mess” for Dylan. Not only that, she is a wonderful actress and should not have been let go. Dylan and Sharon never made sense.
I like that Hillary is being called for her dark side. A little justice please; not too much, but give us a breather! Don’t make Jack so gullible once again! It is just too soon for that!
Sorry, I got way off base. Nothing against the actress, her role just doesn’t settle in. It is as though you has a very talented person representing another sector of society, but the writers don’t now what to do.
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.
