Will Y&R’s Holden Novak Wind Up With Audra, Lily or Someone Else? Nathan Owens Weighs-In
When Nathan Owens made his debut on The Young and the Restless, viewers were initially led to believe he was Damian, the half-brother to Nate Hastings (Sean Dominic) and long lost son of Amy Lewis (Valarie Pettiford). Come to find out he was pretending to be Damian as a decoy for the real guy played by Jermaine Rivers.
Since that time, Y&R fans have come to find out that Holden shares a past with Nate’s girlfriend, Audra Charles, (Zuleyka Silver) and it seems one that has a hot and heavy and dramatic past. Meanwhile, the handsome stranger to Genoa City is surveying the town, while the real Damian has taken an interest in Lily Winters. (Christel Khalil) Just who might ultimately be the on-screen love interest for Nathan Owens in the weeks and months to come?
This week, Nathan visited the Michael Fairman Channel for a livestream interview where he weighed-in and looked to the future of who he thinks the writers might actually pair him with, as the jury is out. First, Owens explained how he views his latest television role of Holden Novak.

“He is not an evil person,” expressed Owens. “However, he is definitely a calculated person and a bit manipulative. He glosses it over with some serious charisma. He’s a charmer, but the whole time he is trying to get some information out of situations, even when he is charming.”
When discussing an on-screen love match for Holden between Lily, Audra or someone else, first, Nathan discussed working with Christel Khalil. “She is fierce. Christel comes with a bit of fire and spice whatever scene she is in, to be honest with you,” revealed Owens. “As a person, she’s just very delightful, honest, and funny too. She has a good sense of humor. As far as if Holden and Lily Winters might up in a romantic relationship together, I can’t tell you, I don’t know. Who knows? We might end up together?”

Y&R viewers can see that Audra Charles is having an issue and is bothered in more ways than one by Holden’s presence in Port Charles. “I think something very intense happened between the two of them that I think she wouldn’t like Nate to find out about,” shared Owens. “I think she’s playing it down for her own sake because I think in her reality, things are just starting to look pretty good in her relationship. Then, you drop Holden in with all this past. I think for her sake, she wants Holden out of there, but at the same time, she wants some information from him. So, there’s a bit of a cat and mouse, push and pull thing going on between the two of them. I’ll leave it at that.”
While bets are on that Holden is brought on to the canvas as romantic partner for Audra or Lily, maybe he is about to find an attraction to someone else in Genoa City as Holden spreads his wings. “Definitely,” said Owens. “Holden is quite the social person and he knows where to meet people and how to rub shoulders with people. I know that he’s kind of surveying the land. He pops up at some of the watering holes of Genoa City. You’ll see him meet a few new characters and jump into their storylines as well. I also think he’s doing that because he wants to figure out what makes this place tick, who’s who, and find out how to work his magic in that way.”

Now, let us know your prediction. Will Holden wind up romantically with Lily, Audra or another leading lady in Genoa City, and if so, who? Share your thoughts in the comment section.
As far as other possibilities, there is only Claire and Summer, who are single, the rest are much older ladies I wouldn’t or couldn’t see with him. Even Lily is a little too old.
Christel Khalil is 37 and Nathan Owens is 40.
Besides ofcourse Lily unwhich i can picture a hot triangle between Holden/ Lily/ Damien ( Atwt redux) Claire is the only one left. ;
She’s such a pill though. Hate to say I think she may be even lamer than Abby. What’s with the lackluster young actresses on this show?
However the actress who portrays Faith is natural , beautiful and capable of leading a story. Is it too inappropriate that maybe she gets tired of being there for her family and she acts out and obsessed over a older mysterious Holden?! That could be really good
I think it’s either the character of Claire and/or the writing, because I enjoyed Haley Erin as Kiki on GH.
Just read that Mishael Morgan is returning to Genoa City.
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 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.
