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.

Susan Flannery and Ian Buchanan Visit the Set of ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’; Daytime Emmy Winners Reflect on Show Then and Now
The one and only Susan Flannery (ex-Stephanie Forrester) dropped in to see her former co-stars on The Bold and the Beautiful at their Sunset Las Palmas Studio in Hollywood, along with her good friend and another B&B co-star Ian Buchanan (ex-James Warwick) on Tuesday October 20.
It was the first time in a very long time that The four-time Daytime Emmy winning actress was reunited with Katherine Kelly Lang (Brooke), Jacqueline MacInnes Wood (Steffy), executive producer and head writer, Brad Bell, Jennifer Gareis and even her TV sister, Alley Mills (Pam, B&B now Heather, GH) showed up for the day too!
Flannery played the Forrester matriarch from 1987 until 2012. It was then that after playing the part of Stephanie for 25 years that Susan made the decision to retire from acting and in one of the most heartbreaking sendoffs, passes away from lung cancer in Brooke’s arms in November of 2012. During her B&B tenure, Flannery won 3 of her 4 Daytime Emmys, the other being for her first soap role as Laura Horton on Days of our Lives back in 1975.

As for Ian Buchanan, he played Dr. Warwick, psychiatrist, from 1993 to 1999. He returned for other runs in 2014 and 2017. Buchanan took home his Daytime Emmy in 1997 for his work as James. Soap fans also remember, Ian as mobster Duke Lavery on General Hospital, and Dr. Greg Madden on All My Children,
Both Susan and Ian shared their thoughts on coming back to The Bold and the Beautiful, for Susan 14 years later since he exited and for Ian close to 9 years since his last appearance below.
Susan said, “It’s definitely like coming home in a way, even though it’s not the same studio. It’s really lovely to see old faces and old faces with new faces. It takes you back mentally. You start remembering what it was like back then, even things like how much your feet would ache at the end of the day from wearing six-inch heels. It was just lovely to be back and see everybody.”

Ian expressed, “It’s a mind trip, you know. When I was sitting looking at the big Forrester set, it was like stepping back in time, almost. It takes you back mentally, and you start remembering what it was like when you were here before.”
“It’s lovely to see all these people again, even if you don’t know everybody,” explained soap vet Buchanan. “There’s something really special about coming back and seeing the show and the people who have been part of it for so long.”
So, happy to see Susan and Ian with some of their former castmates? Do you think Stephanie and Brooke is one of the greatest frenemy stories in daytime history? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section below.
Beyond the Gates
Tabitha Brown and Kandi Burruss Guest Star on ‘Beyond the Gates’ for Dani’s ‘Welcome to Your Life’ TV Special; What Could Go Wrong?
As previously announced, Beyond the Gates is bringing chef, author and actress Tabitha Brown and Grammy Award-winning songwriter, singer and actress Kandi Burruss to Fairmont Crest in a special episode of the CBS daytime drama airing Thursday, October 22.
In the episode, Dani’s (Karla Mosley) best friend Pamela Curtis (Cady McClain), arranges a “Welcome to Your Life” television special for her. As it turns out, Brown will play the show’s host, Tia Allen, while Burruss takes on the role of Dani’s first modeling agent, Kalista Kilroy, who turns the celebration of her life into a bad trip down memory lane.
Dani’s parents Anita and Vernon (Tamara Tunie, Clifton Davis), sister Nicole (Daphnee Duplaix), and daughters Chelsea (RhonniRose Mantilla) and Naomi (Arielle Prepetit) all join the show to celebrate and support her but also witness how things so south. Also appearing in the episode are Molly Figueroa as Tatum Stewart and fan-favorite Anita Williams (Tunie) impersonator Jackie Tyree!

THE 411 ON TIA AND KALISTA
Speaking with TV Insider, about their soapy experience in Fairmont Crest, Tabitha Brown previewed about her host with the most, “Tia is very professional, but she’s a girl’s girl. She is a protector of women and wants to tell their stories in a beautiful way, but she also wants to make sure they’re seen in a very good light.”
However, Burruss previews that Kalista arrives with a score to settle. “She’s spicy,” shared the recording artist. “I always love playing somebody that has come to start trouble. It’s always fun to play a villain of sorts, but Kalista feels like she’s been done wrong and she’s hurt by what she feels has been done to her. So Kalista is stirring up trouble, but she feels justified putting Dani on blast. Kalista is ready for some payback.”
Beyond the Gates is produced by CBS Studios, as part of the CBS Studios/NAACP Venture, in partnership with P&G Studios, a division of Procter & Gamble. Created by head writer Michele Val Jean, executive producers include Val Jean, Sheila Ducksworth, Julie Carruthers, Tracey Thomson, Leon W. Russell, Derrick Johnson, Anna Saalfeld and Lela Coffey.
Beyond the Gates is broadcast weekdays on CBS (2:00-3:00 PM, ET/1:00-2:00 PM, PT) and is available to stream on Paramount+**.
So, looking forward to this special episode of Beyond the Gates when Dani is put on a blast during a blast from her past and Welcome to Your Life TV special? Share your thoughts via the comment section.
For months now, Days of our Lives has teased the character of Dominic Marino. In recent weeks, viewers learned that Marino is on the down low working with Sami Brady’s (Alison Sweeney) apparent fiancé ‘Dante Vitali (Franco LoPresti), and that he is the never-before-heard-of child of Stefano DiMera (the late Joseph Mascolo) and Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall)!
Up until now, the Peacock streaming soap opera has never revealed his face, but that all seemed to change on the Tuesday, October 2o episode of DAYS. In story, Dante met Sami’s parents for the first time, Roman (Josh Taylor) and Marlena.
He shows them a photo of Dominic, which he happened to have on his own phone and even commented he kind of looked like he could be Marlena’s son. The photo, which has quickly made it around Soap Twitter/X, revealed that British-born actor Kyle Pryor is the man in the photo and eagle-eyed viewers actually located said photo on Pryor’s Instagram.

Deadline revealed Pryor started taping at the end of 2025 and will first be seen in the role, on air Monday, November 2. In addition, Days will celebrate its 61st Anniversary with two special episodes featuring Dominic’s arrival, as well the returns of Tony and Anna DiMera, played respectively by Thaao Penghlis and Leann Hunley, on Friday, November 6 and Monday, November 9.
Those in the know, are are that Pryor previously held series regular roles on Australia’s Home and Away, and the UK’s Hollyoaks and guest starred on Emmerdale. In an ironic twist, Pryor appeared in the series Spartacus: Blood and Sand which is the same action series his apparent TV brother, Dan Feuerriegel (EJ DiMera), once appeared in before coming to DAYS.
So excited to see Kyle Pryor take on the role of Dominic Marino as Days of our Lives sets its anniversary story to kick-off with is arrival in Salem? Share your thoughts in the comment section. And in case you missed our latest conversation with Conner Floyd (Chad DiMera) he weighs-in on how Dominic’s appearance will shake things up in Salem. You can check that out below.
