Now this was cute! OK, dare we say, “super cute!” Patrick J. Gibbons, who has won the hearts of One Life to Live fans everywhere for his portrayal of little Sam Manning, came back to work this week at One Life’s new Connecticut studios to film new scenes with his TV family!
Thanks to Paos Revolution documenting Patrick’s return to Llanview through an adorable series of photos, you can now see first images of Patrick with Andrew Trischitta (Jack Manning) pictured here to the right, plus on-screen mom, Kassie DePaiva, and Sam’s Aunt Dorian, Robin Strasser, and one with Roger Howarth (Todd), and another with what looks to be one of his first on-screen outfits!
Make sure to follow Patrick on his Twitter page, too! So what do you think of this photo of Patrick and Andrew? Are you happy to see Patrick is part of the reboot of One Life to Live? Let us know!
I love all the pics that have been on Paos Revolution’s website! I cannot wait to see what they will release next! It has been one surprise after another with them! Thanks for sharing!! I have to say I am torn between fav. pics from Patrick, him hugging Roger’s leg tugged at my heartstrings, and the pic of him beaming next to Robin brought tears to my eyes!! 🙂
Patrick is incredibly adorable, and such a gift from the land of Llanview. His scenes with Roger Howarth before the show left ABC were magical. Can’t wait to have him back! I just don’t want him to grow up!
Me either. Just don’t want him to grow up.
They arent brothers…they are cousins. Sam is Victors son while Jack is the son of Victors brother Todd. They only were half brothers when everbody thought Victor was Todd. I think iam right. Any way its good to see little Sam and Jack both back on the show.
That would make them cousins as well as half-brothers as they share the same Mom (Blair) 🙂
Confusing but I believe you are right Jen.
Thanks Jen…i knew they werent full brothers because of the two different dads…i kept thinking Margaret was Sams mom because i wasnt watching soaps fulltime when Sam was born and by the time i tuned back i thought Blair was his guardian or adopted him. Better knowing he’s Blairs than Margarets!
Unless they rewrote history I am pretty sure that Margaret is Sam’s mother
Patrick is Blair’s adopted son. He is the biological child of Margaret who raped Victor (who everyone thought at the time was Todd). Jack is the biological child of Blair and Todd. So, since Blair adopted Patrick that makes Patrick legally Jack’s full brother, while at the same time biologically Jack’s cousin.
I thought Sam was Margaret and Victor’s son….Hence, Jack and Sam are cousins.
Your right!
Why did i comment on this…im more confused now. Jack and Sam are definetly cousins as long as Todd is Todd and Victor is Victor and they are twin brothers. I always believed Margeret was Sams momma and Blair adopted him. Jack and Sam would then be cousins as well as stepbrothers. They cant be full brothers M unless he and Jack had the same birth parents, and if they did have the same birth parents they really wouldnt be cousins then. If you are raised by your uncle and aunt that still wouldnt make you a cousin to your siblings…you would always be their natural brother and sister no matter what.
Patrick is adorable and I’m so happy he is back with the show.
Absolutely LOVE him… he is so adorable! I love him with both RH and TSJ. So glad he is back!
You are technically right, Jim, but that is not the point. Blair adopted Sam as a baby, so that makes them brothers, period.
What? Sam is adopted? When? Why?
I just wrote someone that I want Sam to be the son of Victor (who should be the real Todd) bc Sam really does look like Victor.
When exactly did Blair adopt him?
OK Spencer Truman let everyone believe that Todd had killed Margaret at the lake, even tho he actually had Margaret, he blackmailed his ex wife to deliver little Sam, then Spencer took him and gave him to an adoptive agency and Marice and Michael McBain ended up adopting sam whom they named Tommy McBain, When Todd found out that Tommy was his son he wanted him back and that is when Marcie took off with Tommy/Sam. When Todd got Sam back finally, Blair adopted him because she did not think he should grow up with out a mom……
I’m so excited to see Patrick back on OLTL! Though, I was hoping he would visit GH and Sam would meet Emma! Two of the cutest kids acting today!!
I am delighted that Patrick is a part of the revamped OLTL! He has always added a spontaneous charm and innocent comedy relief to the storyline and thus made Llanview an even more dimensional place! I am looking forward to “Sam’s” antics and hope he will be included for many years!
And I hope he is the son of Trevor St. John because he looks like him.
They are all wonderful pictures, I am so happy for them, and us, One Life To Live is back.
Welcome back, patrick! So glad that OLTL is not SORASing like AMC is. I hate SORASing.
What does SORASing mean?
What do you mean when U say that U are glad that OneLife isn’t SORASing like AMC is?
It is a term they use in the soap opera business and magazines. It means “Soap Opera Rapid Aging Syndrome.
On AMC all the kids have been aged 5 years since we last saw the show. So they are using all different young actors. I am glad OLTL is not doing that. I don’t like it when they do that. For instance, Bianca on AMC is going to have an actress playing her daughter who in reality is almost as old as the actress.
I CAN’T WAITE TO SEE SAM WITH VICTOR.HIS FATHER.BLAIR WOULD BE THE BEST PERSON TO ADOPT SAM .SHE TOO WAS THE RESULT OF RAPE SO WHEN HE STARTS ASKUNG QUESTIONS ,SHE THE BEST TO UNDERSTAND HOW HE’D FEEL..THE BOYS AND STARR ARE ADOPTED SIBLINGS /COUSIN.DANI IS SAMS STEP SISTER./COUSIN ,SO ITS BLOOD.AND LUV THAT SAM AND EVERYONE IS BACK,
The picture of Patrick and Roger is priceless……because it wasn’t a posed picture. Really mikes you realize (without words) how much this means to the people behind the characters…..paos, thanks for posting!
Didn’t Sam Manning wear glasses? I rememeber him wearing glasses! He looks a bit different to me. Is he the orginial character? I remember Roger with Sam . When Todd was dressed up as spiderman. When no one knew he really was Todd.
It is the same Sam, and from what i remember he did wear glasses in some scenes.
Patrick ( Sam Manning) looks EXACTLY like Trevor St.John. He has to come back and be the father of both Sam and Jack. Todd (Roger Howarth) can not, it doesn’t work. In fact, Todd needs to be Victor Jr.
I love Sam and Jack…..” Other than ” Vickie and St. John, Jack and Same are my favorites….
I adore little “Spidey” Sam, and he needs to be played by Patirick! The anticipation for the reboots of OLTL & AMC is wonderful…..
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.
