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.
Antonio Sabáto Jr., the former Jagger Cates of General Hospital and GH: Night Shift, and the former Dante Damiano of The Bold and the Beautiful has issued his first public statement since the incident involving his son, Jack’s arrest in Alaska for a fatal hit-and-run.
Jack is the son of Sabáto Jr. and Oscar-nominated actress Virginia Madsen, and according to court documents obtained by KTUU Jack, was allegedly driving a white Chevy Tahoe when he hit and killed Carl Simmonds, 42, near an intersection in Anchorage around 5:35 a.m. on Monday, November 9.
The reports indicated that Jack fled the scene — but later decided to called the cops to say he hit “something” that “suddenly appeared in the road” while he was “doing late-night DoorDashing.”

Now, Antonio has taken to his Instagram breaking his silence on the situation, sharing, “At this time, my family and I are navigating an extremely sensitive and deeply personal matter.”
He added, “As a father, my love for my children remains unconditional, and my priority is the well-being of my family. We ask that the public and members of the media honor our privacy during this difficult time and keep us all in your thoughts and prayers.”
The soap alum concluded, “I also wish to extend my heartfelt condolences to the family and loved ones of the gentleman who tragically lost his life. My thoughts and prayers are with them as well. We sincerely appreciate your compassion, understanding, and respect for the privacy of everyone affected.”
Jack Sabáto was arraigned in court on Tuesday, November 10 with bail set at $5,000, and a no-driving order and the potential of $5,000 penalty fees if he fails to attend future court appearances.
Antonio is the father to Jack, 34, daughter, Mina Sabato, 24 and son, Antonio Sabáto III, 15.
This is a developing story. You can check out Antonio’s official statement below.

Days of our Lives long-running cast member James Reynolds revealed on the November 10 edition of Entertainment Tonight that he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and his character of Abe Carver will now be going through an on-screen Parkinson’s battle as well.
Speaking with ET’s Nischelle Turner, the 80-year-old actor and Daytime Emmy winner shared how he attempted to hide the warning signs dating back to 15-20 years ago when he would have, “What they call the hallucinations. My wife (Lissa) would say, ‘You were hitting me last night in bed,’ and I would say, ‘What?!’ I was having these really horrible dreams.” Reynolds also added that he realized falling out of bed was an early symptom of Parkinson’s too.
Discussing the on-going tremors that have become more noticeable over time especially in hands, James shared that when he finally told the Days of our Lives cast they were nothing but “extraordinarily helpful and supportive.”

SCREEN LIFE TO MIRROR REAL LIFE
Now with DAYS about to launch into Abe’s Parkinson’s storyline, Reynolds hopes that he can turn his experience into something positive by encouraging others facing the disease to keep fighting. During the sit-down, Reynolds co-star Jackée Harry (Paulina Price) recalls her reaction to learning of Reynolds’ real-life diagnosis and how she has continued to search for new treatments to inform James about.
Although Parkinson’s disease currently has no cure, there are medications and treatments can help those manage symptoms and improve quality of life. The condition progresses at a different pace from individual to individual.
As discussed in his conversation with ET, Reynolds cited Michael J. Fox and Alan Alda as two high-profile celebrities who have brought awareness to the disease.

In story on DAYS, Abe in recent weeks had been experiencing tremors which led to seek help and a diagnosis Dr. Kayla Johnson (Mary Beth Evans). Soon Abe and others will find out of his battle with Parkinson’s. Although on the promo for this week’s DAYS, Abe is seen telling Kayla, that he will do something, “when the time is right.”
James Reynolds is one of the most prolific performers, being the longest-running Black Actor in a role on a television series, not to mention his aforementioned Lead Actor Daytime Emmy win in 2018, and being inducted in 2025 into the Daytime Emmy Gold and Silver Society of honorees.

Michael Easton Pays Homage to ‘One Life to Live’ Cast and Those From Llanview We Lost in Candid Photos
Michael Easton remains one of the soulful individuals we know. Not only is he an accomplished actor from his various roles on daytime soaps, primetime and films, but he is graphic novelist, a director, writer and a photographer.
In a surprise Instagram post on Tuesday, November 10, Easton took a trip back to Llanview and the beloved One Life to Live with a series of photographs that he himself took and showcased in a touching display.
It was on One Life to Live that Easton first portrayed John McBain, a role he played from 2003-2012, and then, he would play the role for another year after OLTL was canceled and he took the character over to General Hospital until 2013. With all the ABC/Prospect Park legal disputes going down at that time over who owned the rights to the characters, eventually Easton became Silas Clay on GH, and later Hamilton Finn.
Photos: Michael Easton
Now, Easton is sharing some fantastic snaps he took 21-years ago when the OLTL cast recorded a benefit album to help those affected by the devastation of Hurricane Katrina.
The photos include: the late Phil Carey (ex-Asa Buchanan), Renee Elise Goldsberry (ex-Evangeline Williamson), plus the late Kamar de los Reyes, who was Easton’s best friend and the former Antonio Vega of Llanview.
In addition, there are images of six-time Daytime Emmy winner, Erika Slezak (ex-Victoria Lord), Timothy D. Stickney (ex-RJ Gannon), Bree Williamson (ex-Jessica Buchanan), Tika Sumpter (ex-Layla Williamson), Robin Strasser (ex- Dorian Lord), the late Patricia Elliot (ex-Renee Buchanan), Melissa Archer (ex-Natalie Balsom) and Kristen Alderson (ex-Starr Manning), Kathy Brier (ex-Marcie Walsh), Ilene Kristen (ex-Roxy Balsom) and even Melissa Fumero (ex-Adriana Cramer), Trevor St. John (ex-Todd/Victor Lord Jr.), Robert S. Woods (ex-Bo Buchanan), Catherine Hickland (ex-Lindsay Rappaport), the late Nathaniel Marston (ex-Al Holden), Kassie DePaiva (ex-Blair Cramer), and Eddie Alderson (ex-Matthew Buchanan).

In his post, Easton shared in full: “FOUND A MEMORY (part one) stored on an old Nikon camera. In 2005, the cast of One Life to Live recorded a benefit album with all the proceeds going to those affected by Hurricane Katrina. Not being nearly as talented as my fellow actors (looking back what a badass cast it was) my contribution was to take photographs of their amazing faces.”
Michael continued, “In lieu of a proper photo studio, our friend Richie Hersch was kind enough to loan us his bar, Prohibition, on the upper west side for the afternoon to have an impromptu jam session. It was a beautiful time and I look back fondly on those moments, even when it takes finding a camera to awake the memory.”
With sorrow, Easton also shared, “It also brings up a little heartache as some of our friends are no longer with us and although they live in our hearts it’s nice to see them again and remember how perfect they were.”
This was followed by PART Two of FOUND A MEMORY with a carousel of images from Easton in a second post, which included: candid shots of Melissa Fumero, Dan Gauthier (ex-Kevin Buchanan) Paul Satterfield (ex-Dr. Spencer Truman) along with Trevor St. John, Nathaniel Marston, Kamar de los Reyes and many others.
Take a look at the One Life to Live cast images from Michael Easton below.
Then let us know, does it make you miss the beloved ABC soap opera even more? What did you think of Michael’s photos of the cast? Share your thoughts in the comment section.
