Y&R’s Eric Braeden is More Than Impressed with Former TV Son, Justin Hartley and Season Two Finale of ‘Tracker’
This past Sunday, the season 2 finale of the hit CBS primetime drama, Tracker, was all the buzz with former The Young and the Restless star, Justin Hartley (ex-Adam Newman) as series lead, Colter Shaw. Hartley is also one of the executive producer of the show.
In the finale entitled, “Echo Ridge,” Colter confronts Otto Waldron, a mysterious lineman who reveals that he pushed Ashton Shaw (Colton’s father) off of a cliff more than 20 years ago. However, there is more to the story. Otto tells Colter that his mother Mary asked for his help that night. With that, it begged the question for the cliffhanger going into season 3. Did Mary want Otto to kill her husband?
While we previously reported CBS had already renewed Tracker for its third season back in February, the #1 entertainment series (non-sports and non-news) on broadcast TV continues to impress. One person who is extremely impressed, and in particular, with the season two finale is Hartley’s former TV dad and daytime icon, Eric Braeden (Victor Newman) of The Young and the Restless.

After viewing Sunday’s May 11th Tracker season finale, Braeden took to his Facebook page and expressed, “Watched, ‘TRACKER“ with my friend JUSTIN HARTLEY starring! I was blown away by the final show! Excellent script, direction, casting, camera work, locations…and Justin is one of those rare actors with absolute authenticity! One believes every move! Great show, brother!!”
Hartley’s journey to being the series lead of his own primetime show was a natural progression as his popularity soared. He replaced Michael Muhney in the role of the black sheep of the Newman clan on Y&R, and first aired in November 2014 and stayed with the show short of two years till September 2016.

From there, Justin joined the hit drama, This Is Us for six seasons playing Kevin Pearson, The series came to its conclusion with the series finale back on May 22, 2022. Justin’s next TV project has been Tracker, which continues on through, at least, the 2025-2026 TV season.

Back in 2020, when Eric Braeden celebrated his 40th anniversary with the top-rated soap as Victor Newman, Hartley showed up at the on set celebration and spoke on working with the icon and what it meant to him as a special moment in his career.
This all begs the question, should Justin Hartley have a role written in for Eric Braeden to guest star in season 3 of ‘Tracker,’ thus having the two former on-screen father/son share some scenes together? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section below.
That would be great if Justin can figure a way to have Eric on his show for an episode.
I was thinking the exact same thing! It would be fun to see Eric and Justin in scenes together again, as well as Eric being someone other than Victor Newman. Fingers crossed!
Yes most definitely!
I am not a fan of Justin Hartley – I think he’s a totally over-rated actor. He did not fit the role of Adam; and was the weak link in This is Us.
Just my opinion
I liked Justin Hartley he is good in the tractor I like that show .
I think he was a FABULOUS ADAM & he is an excellent actor . Why would anyone say otherwise? Did you not WATCH THIS IS US ?????
Yes I did. As I said, just my opionion to which I’m entitled.
Justin was my favorite Adam and really great in tracker…also, This is us.
I would like to see Eric make a guest appearance on Justin’s show. Cool beans
Me too
I love Justin on the tracker and also Adam with Victor on the young and the restless. It would be great to see both of them on tracker. I am a big fan of both.
I watched it and it wS spectacular
I would like that. Eric is one of my favorites on Y and R. I’m sure the two of them will have an awesome time.
Cast him as his uncle
Definitely victor new man guest star season 3 of tracker!❤️❤️❤️

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.
