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.
Thank you
They have been a really terrible match up – – she is clearly way too old for him
Too old? Who says there can’t be love and romance between members from different generations?
Hoping it is temporary. Lucas Adams has sparked as Noah, and Tamara Braun has been a welcomed addition as Sienna. Praying they are both back soon!
Why ?? He has a mother relationship ugh and JM is always going to play the pathetic horn dog 50 years lild and he still plays the same song and dance
Not once in my response did I ever mention Joshua Morrow, so zero idea why you felt the need to insert him into your reply.
She’s a fantastic actress and plays a character that is dictated by the writing staff. She has no control over what her character says or does.
He was not a bad Noah but where the heck is Christian?
Have Noah’s disco shirts been written off as well?
HA!
Noah escaped Audra in London, Allie Abbott in Paris and now a ” reformed” Matt clark. A pattern seems to have crept in on the character
Another failed attempt to turn Noah Newman into a successful character. They should have tried the original plan to make him gay…
They never stood a chance with the silly story they’ve have to play. Noah had to be one of the dumbest characters ever written. Real shame about Tamara because she had CHOPS! Sad situation.
Tamara Braun is an excellent actress. It’s too bad.
i thought Lucas was doing a good job as Noah it’s a shame this legacy character has had such a revolting door hopefully the new writers will figure this out ! Btw keep wearing those disco shirts Noah it has everyone talking !
Lucas is a great actor. I could see him being a great addition to GH, maybe as a love interest for Joss.
You can bet your soul that both of them will be back in Salem before too long. And of course, by that I mean they will probably be taping there within a few weeks, but given the ridiculous taping schedule at Days, you wouldn’t see them until Summer 2027
I fo not sed a future for them. Unless it was going to be revolved around Matt who i hope is ousted soon. I do. Ot cars for the character at all.
They have never been able to write for Noah and that’s too bad keep writing for the old and the listless I have no faith in the new writers!
This is a ridiculous move. Matt Clark should be the first one ushered to the exit door–it seems like keeping him around is done to give yet another storyline for Phyllis. Sienna ought to be written out, but Noah Newman is a main character the writers never developed into someone who clearly wanted to be a black sheep, not part of the Newman corporation. Art teacher? There’s something unique. Was hoping to see Audra in the Noah mix. I wonder what’s next– Christian leaving for school in Europe? Maybe he’ll join Reed… and Katie and Johnny. UGGGH on what this show has done with younger cast members just to give the same old boring stories to actors who’ve been on the show too long.
Wish I didn’t see this coming from the beginning. Just grateful they didn’t attempt a Nick/Sienna/Noah storyline, which is how I thought this story would begin and end
I’m hoping the new writers bring a very good murder mystery. A serial murder mystery would be great. I don’t want to see romance. I don’t want to see gratuitous sex scenes that GIDDENS seems to want to throw on all of his shows.
Just give us a good murder, mystery, serial murder, like the edge of night style or even the loving murders that is my hope
Eric Braeden should retire….killing off Victor could be storyline, if written well, that could last over a year in time. Everyone in Genoa City would be a suspect, everyone has a reason to have his life come to an end.
I totally agree. Bearden needs to go away.
He was an absolutely atrocious Noah. They really dropped the ball by letting Rory Gibson get away.
I liked Lucas as Noah. I don’t want them to recast him. Noah has already been recast way too many times. I always hoped they would break up and he would get with someone his own age. The 2nd time they’ve had Noah leave with a girlfriend.

I am glad Noah and Seiena are being ” written ” off. They are boring…both do not have personalities and do not
” click” together…
I predicted this maybe someday writers will come in and want to write for the younger group
Noah Newman is to Y&R as Kevin Reilly Buchanan was to OLTL.
But at least the last Kevin stuck and came back for the series finale.
Tamara Braun looks old enough to be his mother.She should be replaced with a little younger actress.
She’s only 24 year older than him, but who gives a shit.
Actually she is 22 years older than him. They had zero chemistry together.
According to you maybe I think they did.
That storyline, amongst other bad storylines, was part of the reason I stopped watching. I read that they wrapped up Jack’s storyline without any scene with Traci going face-to-face with her ex…just that it’s over. Maybe Josh was given an order to simply wrap up his crap as quickly as possible. Guess Nikki got her sight back, Patty and the nutty psychiatrist are in jail, and now Noah and his Oedipus complex girlfriend were sent packing as well. Just need to see the new head writers names in the credits, and maybe things will get better.
Agreed
It’s about time they are being written off. They have no chemistry between them. They aren’t interesting at all. I’m a 50 years watcher of Y& R.
I’m surprised, but they never really caught on. Maybe if they hadn’t paired Noah up with Sienna it would have worked.
So glad they’re leaving the show !! Such an odd coupling ! But to leave the Shadow Room now for Danny to run it ! Hoping we won’t be seeing much of that !!
They’ve never been able to write for the character of Noah no matter who is playing him. I just hope both actors find work elsewhere whether it be on another soap or some other genre.
Hard to watch these 2 become lovers after mother/son on DOOL. I wish Y&R would do better by Noah Newman. Hard to accept a “new” Noah all the time. What a waste of people.
This show is so boring lately, so boring. I tape it and can watch it in 8 minutes. Same old , same old, same old story lines. Do the writers have no imagination? A preschooler has more imagination and can tell a better story than these writers.
Thank goodness they hired new writers recently! This storyline goes back to Josh Griffith, not a fan
I still can’t believe they are making Matt Clark a good guy after he tortured Nick and Sharon for years. You younger people don’t know the half of what he did..in fact you probably wasn’t even born yet!
That is one of my biggest issues with Josh Griffith. He’s canonizing Matt, and Victor goes along with everything? Not the Victor we all grew up with, he’d have the guy killed. But instead, come move onto the ranch and work for me, okay?
Do these characters learn nothing from their constant “taking the law into their own hands” mentality? Seems like the writers do not know how to come up with a storyline and bring it to life in creative and unique ways. Oh, what Bill Bell must be thinking.
I didn’t buy their relationship, Sienna was clearly too old for this young guy supposedly in the late 20’s? It should have been approached as a May-December romance and go onto another storyline.
Why can’t they just still play from LA?
That’s exactly what I said no need to cut them out completely. I’d much rather watch them than keep Matt around no thanks. I quit watching the day they left. I knew from day 1 that the writers would pull this crap.
Bring them back
I want them back too!
May they never darken Days’ doorstep again. YawneR ruined them, they’d forever be known as the incestuous mother/son.
Yes why would they have mother and son on Days, and then bring them to Y&R as a couple, disgusting if you ask me just my opinion
Omg get real
Oh brother seriously they’re actors on completely different soaps such a silly comment
Get rid of Mariah please!!!!!
I absolutely agree. My friends wanted to see Tessa end up with Daniel. Mariah is just a character that is beyond burnt out, totally annoying, and has been so “blah” that she really has nothing more to offer on that show.
Tessa has gone on to do other things
Lynn– the list is much deeper than that. Too many characters from 30 or more years ago that are always “front and center” just makes for dull writing and duller viewing. Has no one ever heard of “short-term” contracts? Or, maybe I just made that up? Bill Bell knew how to work with a cast of characters, when to give them top-tier stories and then when to put them on the backburner. He aso knew how to bring meaningful social issues into stories and fully explore them. Lastly, things took place ONSCREEN– there’s so much plot that takes place (rather never takes place) and we only hear about it as an after-thought. MISSING TIME is a crime in creative writing.
Casting them as lovers was sickening as watching them as mother &son before. Thanks for writing them off the show.
Didn’t bother me at all of course I’m an adult so…people take these silly make believe shows way too seriously.
Hate to see them go but want Daniel and Tessa together!! Please keep
I quit watching the day they left. Tessa has gone on to do other things with her music, etc
Love the new Matt!! Keep him this way!!
Keep Mariah but give her to someone else and let Daniel go back to Tessa!!please!!
The new writers appear to have a plan as to what to discard which is good. Josh Griffith toward the end raided characters from the past and brought them back even if it didn’t make sense. Sienna and Noah didn’t make sense. Noah Newman as a character doesn’t make sense. He is still an aimless legacy character with no set career goals. As for Sienna, she was a former ? old enough to be Noah’s mother. Hopefully, Matt Clark is the next exit. Roger Horwich is a powerhouse actor. He should have been hired as a new character. Instead the viewers are being asked to accept a reformed psychopath who only months earlier was trying to burn several Newman’s alive. Good Luck.
The new writers appear to have a plan as to what to discard which is good.
Considered they just began their positions this week (material is not going to air until this autumn), how do we know what their supposed plan is?
Scott, I am sure when they interviewed for the job and before they were chosen they had to give their ideas as to how they would improve the show. Or maybe it the executive producer clearing the decks like last hired first fired. I hate to see any actor or actress lose their job but judging from the comments on this board, the characters do not seem to be working out with the longtime audience.
Well I loved them and lots of others do too not everyone who likes them comments on these posts
I don’t want to see the new Noah and Tamara leave The Young And The Restless. I love to see them on there. It has been nice to see different people’s on there. So I hope they stay on The Young and The Restless on there .
Same. We needed new characters and a new storyline and I think the fact that Noah was with someone who is older actually made him a lot more interesting than he would have been.
Not a regular viewer for many years but tuned in one day when they were on. It’s a shame that no writers have ever known what to do with Noah. He’s Victor Newman’s grandson, for cripe’s sake and should be every bit as important to the show as the other core family members. Some writer needs to give this character a real identity. While I can’t judge the actor based on one viewing, he seemed as adequate as anyone else on that particular episode. As for Sienna, like WOW. Never saw her before, but she is a natural actress, far better than some who have been on this warhorse forever. Excited to tune in more regularly and see if the new writers can sustain my interest.
The Young and the Restless enduring favorite and two-time Daytime Emmy-winning actress, Jess Walton (Jill Foster Abbott) is set to release her memoir!
Kensington Publishing has revealed on their website that Walton’s book The Young and the Rest of Us is now available for pre-order while listing an April 27, 2027 release date. In addition, in June of 2027, Walton will mark her 40th anniversary with The Young and the Restless and her debut as Jill.
The official log lines for the memoir share, “Emmy Award-winning actress Jess Walton, known to millions as the iconic Jill Abbott on the #1 soap opera The Young and the Restless, shares her extraordinary journey to stardom, sobriety, true love, and self-discovery in this startingly candid, intimate, and star-studded memoir.”

CAKE FIGHTS AND CORPORATE INTRIGUE
The book description for The Young and the Rest of Us adds, “In June 1987, Jess Walton walked through the artists’ entrance at CBS for her first day on The Young and the Restless,where she had just been hired to play the recast role of Jill Abbott. Two Emmy awards, four decades, and countless onscreen affairs, marriages, corporate takeovers, and cake fights later, she’s a beloved icon with an astonishing tale to tell.”
“In her refreshingly candid style, Jess shares her journey as a young actress from Toronto theaters to Los Angeles, where she found herself at the center of a Laurel Canyon circle that included the likes of Neil Young, David Geffen, Laura Nyro, and Joni Mitchell. Landing a Universal contract and a steady stream of guest starring roles, Jess embraced everything 1970s L.A. had to offer—including Hollywood parties fueled by limitless booze and drugs, and trysts with stars. She recounts with candor and gratitude the surprising path that eventually led her to sobriety, true love—and ultimately, to fictional Genoa City, Wisconsin, and the role of a lifetime.”
“Brimming with behind-the-scenes drama and celebrity cameos to delight fans, The Young and the Rest of Us is also rich in personal, relatable truths about marriage, motherhood, empty-nesting, self-discovery, and finding the courage to start over—as often as it takes. In a voice as fearless and frank as Jill’s, but with, humor and grace all her own, Jess Walton looks back on a life as unpredictable, and adventure filled as anything she has portrayed on screen.”
WHO ELSE PLAYED JILL FOSER ABBOTT?
Fans of The Young and the Restless know that Walton became the fourth actress to take on the role of Katherine Chancellor’s original nemesis Jill Foster back in 1987. The OG Jill was played by Brenda Dickson, also Deborah Adair, Bond Gideon and Melinda O. Fee played the part.
This year, Days of our Lives star Lauren Koslow (Kate Roberts) filled-in for several episodes for Walton who was unavailable to travel from her home in Oregon to Los Angeles where Y&R was taped. Walton is still with the long-running soap opera as Jill.
So, excited to learn of Jess Walton’s upcoming memoir, ‘The Young and the Rest of Us?’ Will it be it a must-read for you? Drop a comment below.
Days Of Our Lives
‘Heated Rivalry’ Star Franco LoPresti Opens Up About ‘Days of our Lives’ Debut as Dante Vitali
Next week on Monday, September 14 will mark the first appearance in Salem of Franco LoPresti in his new Days of our Lives role of Dante Vitali.
Heated Rivalry fans now LoPresti very well from his part as hockey player Cliff Marleau in the series first season. (No word yet if Cliff appears in season 2).
Now in a conversation with TV Insider, DAYS fans will learn that LoPresti is on the soap for a limited run. No timetable was given.

When LoPresti does burst onto the scene come Monday, Dante makes quite the impact as Franco LoPresti explains. It seems that viewers will first see him in scenes in Monte Carlo at a poker table with none other than Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez) and Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier). However, Dante will come to Salem to talk to the Brady family about his supposed fiancée Sami Brady (Alison Sweeney).
Franco shared, “Dante was born and grew up in Italy and educated at this pretty top-tier English boarding school. He then went on to build his own dynasty in finance, all the while trying to distance himself from the Vitali name (as viewers know Tamara Braun played his cousin Ava Vitali).”
“But at the core of Dante, there’s definitely an old-school quality to him”, continued LoPresti. “He’s super passionate, he’s sincere and incredibly generous, but he’s also someone that you probably shouldn’t underestimate. Loyalty is something that means a lot to him. As Dante enters Salem, I think the audience will get to slowly peel back those layers and discover what’s really driving him. So, I’m excited for Days fans to go on that ride with Dante.”

As it turns out, LoPresti taped his episodes of DAYS starting back in November 2025 which happened to be weeks before Heated Rivalry became a smash hit.
Franco recalled, “It’s so funny because I thought my episodes would air in a month (on Days of our Lives). But I found out it was nine to 10 months and I was like, ‘I gotta wait that long?!’ So, I’ve been biting my nails, trying not to think about it, and I think it’s actually kind of helped because now it’s here and it’s all coming at me from all different angles. I’m nervous. I’m excited, and I just can’t wait to see it all come together. It’s one of the best jobs I’ve ever had for sure.”
In his personal life, Franco just had his first child with wife, actress Emily Alatalo, just a weeks ago on August 23rd when they welcomed their daughter, Stella into the world.
So, looking forward to seeing Franco LoPresti’s debut come Monday? What do you think about the fact that it’s being reported as a limited run? Do you think Dante and Sami have a chance on-screen or off-screen to be a happy couple? What do you really think brings Dante to Salem sans Sami? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section below.
