Which Wedding Gown Should Y&R’s Cricket Wear to Her Nuptials with Danny? It’s Down to the Final Two and You Make the Choice!
Alrighty! After starting with three choices of wedding gowns last Friday, all modeled by Lauralee Bell (Christine AKA Cricket Blair) on The Young and the Restless, designed by Y&R costume designer, Mandi Line and her team, fans have voted and we are now down to the final two.
You have less than 24 hours left to cast your vote by heading over to the official Y&R Instagram account and to their Instagram Story. That’s the only place that your vote will count!
Voting ends Tuesday, September 23 at 9 am PT / 12 pm ET and whichever dress wins will be the dress that Cricket wears at the wedding, which will air sometime in November on the CBS daytime drama series, when she marries Danny Romalotti (Michael Damian) for the second time.

As previously reported, Mandi Line said of dress #1 featured above, “It may look simple in bodycon, but when she walks down that aisle, it will be the glitz and the glam of Genoa City.” Bell added, “Elegant and the beading is so beautifully done.” For dress #2 featured above, Line shared, “How do you combine rock ’n’ roll, boho chic, ethereal and angel? Oh, that would be dress No. 2. Simple, gorgeous, not over the top but definitely made a statement when she walked through the door.” Meanwhile, Lauralee expressed on #2, “Soft Romantic Lace.”
In case you missed it, you can catch Mandi talking about the three wedding gowns, now down to the final two, by checking out the video below.
Just remember, while you can share your pick to us in the comment section below, between dress 1 vs 2, if you want it to count you can only vote on the Y&R official Instagram story. So, which dress do you hope gets the win? Share your thoughts.

Who cares. They’re senior citizens trying to be teeny boopers.
Ahem. If you’re using the phrase” teeny boopers,” you’re a senior citizen yourself making your ageism even more egregious. And one is never too old for romance.
Lauralee Bell is in her early to mid fifties and looks pretty damn good. Love and romance doesn’t have an age limit.
After 2 failed marriages, NOT white
I like the first one. I do agree she shouldn’t be wearing white.
I can’t believe there are folks clutching pearls over Christina wearing a white bridal gown. Even Miss Manners says it’s okay for a woman remarrying to wear white if she wants to. We are well past the days where young women with dowries are expected to be virgins, hence the white bridal gown. Stop with the tsk, tsking. Y’all sound like Phoebe Tyler from AMC.
Miss Bell looks good in each gown. I do agree after three marriages, a bride should not wear white. Sorry, Christine! I do look forward to wedding day and hopefully seeing man of the recurring cast members that are rarely seen anymore. I recall the connections and hope they may be acknowledged, especially with the Abbotts (Christine as a stepsister once upon a time, Danny was married to Traci), Michael and Lauren (to whose elder son Christine is aunt), Daniel and Lucy, best friend Nina. I did like Christine with Paul Williams, but can accept the inevitability after 40 years putting these two one-time dream teens together. I sense this to be a now-and-forever-for-good coupling perhaps seen only for holidays, special occasions, weddings, and funerals. I do wish some of these recurring actors and characters received more screen time and story. There is a place for legacy characters, especially as consciousness raisers and ‘connective tissue’ in stories.
Lacy dress
Lace with no veil
One ❤️❤️❤️❤️
No veil – period. And neither dress provides a realistic option for a modern 50-something year old woman getting married to a former husband. I’m happy for Cricket (Christine) and Danny to be reuniting but this is not a flashback into the 80s/90s. A sexy rose/pink spaghetti strap dress with some embellishments and a shall – Lauralee is very pretty but none of these dresses are appropriate for her getting married yet again
Wow, nobody cares. I found it intriguing watching Melody Thomas Scott on Soapy say that many times Eric Braeden will use make up his own lines instead of using what’s written for him by Josh Griffith, because Braeden knows the character of Victor Newman better than Griffith. Scott even admitted she does the same thing from time to time.
Hey they were always the end game good luck to them because they were the past when the show was awesome best of luck I have not watched in years but wish the show the best
#1. Love it

Lucas Adams and Tamara Braun Written Out of 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 Says She Will Return to ‘The View’ During its Season 30

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.
