On today’s episode of CBS Daytime’s The Talk, several members of the cast of The Young and the Restless took part in an on set celebration honoring this week’s 40th anniversary of the number one daytime drama!
Special Genoa City guests for the Y&R segment included: Peter Bergman (Jack), Melody Thomas Scott (Nikki), Kristoff St. John (Neil), Michelle Stafford (Phyllis), Joshua Morrow (Nick), Amelia Heinle (Victoria), Michael Muhney (Adam Newman) and Melissa Claire Egan (Chelsea)!
After the live episode of The Talk, the cast stuck around and took part in very special web extra called, Keep Talking: The Young and the Restless, where fans in the audience could ask questions of the actors who were part of today’s tribute.
On-Air On-Soaps was in the audience, and we have to tell you, the funniest moment happened when after a sort of challenge was issued through the cast members (starting with Kristoff St. John and Joshua Morrow) … one by one they did ten push-ups! But then the gals got in on the action when Michelle Stafford showed her push-up power, doing ten push-ups, and then following it up with an hilarious curtsy to finish it off! All in all, the gang from Y&R was very funny and candid!
Now after the jump, watch this segment when The Talk co-host, Sheryl Underwood moderates as the cast shares some impromptu moments that will have you laughing! Then, let us know what was your favorite moment in Keep Talking: The Young and the Restless!
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.

Amelia Heinle – IS SOOOOO darned Cute.
and… she gets to hold Nick and Adams’ hand.
have to put this out there….
Neil… has really grown in to his own…. he should have been included in; “the hot men of the Y&R.”.
Very dissappointed they did not have Sharon Case there. She is the face of Y&R along with all that were there but one. One was there only two yrs and in my opinion should not of been included with the rest.
I really was hoping Sharon and Adam would be together. it looked like couples from the show for the most part of at least those who were there at least 10 yrs or more. Why was Chelsea even there. This is a 40th anniversary.I don’t even consider her a Y&R cast member
I was thrilled Kristoff aka Neil mentioned Victoria Rowell aka Drucilla and everyone clapped. She needs to be allowed to come back. Fans are still out raged they the show CBS or Sony don’t listen to the fans begging for years. One question. Why was MCE Chelsea even there? She is not a real character. So many others needed to be there instead. Sharon for #1. EB aka Victor, Mrs C. Anyone but Chelsea, She is a newbie want to be.
Would of loved to see Sharon and Billy there. Not Chelsea. Give me a brake with her already!
Who knew Melody was so funny.They should use that on the show more. Love this segment, they had some of my favorites from the show. Just needed to add Billy and Chloe, Michael, and Kevin!!
What happened to Sharon Case? I could NOT believe MCE was there. She is a new person and I don;t see this character even staying!
I loved MCE on AMC and love her on Y&R, with Adam. Not a big fan of SC and the character of Sharon is ridiculous. So they call gold digging Bi-polar now? Liked the character in the beginning but she has become so sanctimonious and needy over the years. What happened to the Sharon that came to town and could stand on her own two feet without a man to tell her CONSTANTLY how wonderful she is. Sharon has got to be one of the worst mothers on daytime.
Are you crazy!!!! The ONLY GOLD DIGGER IS CHELSEA! Get your facts straight! Sharon loves with all her heart! Sharon and Adam balance each other with love and friendship. They have what it takes to go all the way as #1 till the end game!!!!
TALK ABOUT A BAD MOTHER!!!!!! CHELSEA IS A BAD MOTHER! A WOMEN WHO GIVES HER SON AWAY AND LIVES IN A MANSION UP THE ROAD. THEN LEAVES HER HUSBAND BECAUSE HE DID NOT WANT TO MOVE ACROSS THE WORLD. THAT IS A GOLD DIGGER CHILD! CHELSEA NEEDS TO GO! ADAM NEEDS THAT BABY TO RAISE WITH THE MOST LOVING MOTHER WHO IS SHARON!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like the cast and they were fun… but I am sorry I can’t stand Sheryl and would have loved to have someone else lead the Q&A… sorry! Fun times with the cast!
Sorry Fairman, but JFP’s indulgences of Burton are awful. He is one diminesional and duller than dull.
For this we lost Tucker? and Stephen Nichols!
Well you guys made me want to turn Y&R off and so I have.
Y&R is no more. Its awful now to see the ruination of what could have been a resurgence for the Chancellor family and instead its all about duller than dull.
JFP should NOT be allowed to keep ruining soaps and you keep pretending its just great!! UGH
Michelle Stafford looks just gorgeous on The Talk. Good interview.
y&r is an ancient tv show for hollywood’s standards. Yet it still has no significant racial diversity. There’s never been core Latino american and core Asian american families. y&r has never even had core Latino american and core Asian american characters. Horrid! At least “the talk” puts some effort towards racial diversity. It seems like hollywood would rather have their tv shows crumble than have more racial diversity among their casts and talk show personalities. day soaps don’t exactly have strong ratings. day talk show of blanderson had no racial diversity and it flopped! nbc’s talk show is still flopping despite firing ann curry who was their only Asian american host. matt lauer’s q rating has dropped more than 50% yet of course he isn’t treated like how ann curry was treated. Heck nbc’s cleveland affiliate bumped all its primetime tv shows for matlock reruns! nbc’s comedy the office got only .1 rating higher than matlock. While nbc’s sitcom of a presidential family portrayed by only white actors got lower ratings than matlock! Giggles. There are African american and Asian american personalities on “the talk” who are significant to that tv show. The racial diversity on “the talk” makes it a lot better than y&r and most of hollywood’s tv shows.
I loved the fact that all the actors were so natural and without any pretense. It was fun! I liked it alot.
Loved the video…………Cast members being themselves!
