Courtesy/CBS
After the gun shots, the divorce papers and more, Liam (Scott Clifton) reveals he wants to take over Forrester Creations, and Steffy Forrester re-enters the canvas as fan favorite Jacqueline MacInnes Wood (Steffy) make her return to The Bold and the Beautiful!
In this weeks promo from CBS Daytime, it appears Steffy asks Liam if he is glad to see her, which he clearly sees happy to see his ex! Are you looking forward to the return of Jacqui?
And what do you think about Rick’s (Jacob Young) behavior? Are you glad that Caroline (Linsey Godrey) signed divorce papers? Do you want her with Ridge (Thorsten Kaye)? Who do you want paired with whom?
Watch this week’s promo and then share your thoughts below!
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.

B&B has been great lately. Love the current storylines & cast. I’ll be glad to see how Steffy is without Hope in the picture.
I can’t wait for Steffy to show up and I absolutely love the pairing of Ridge and Caroline! Linsey and THorsten are dynamite together. Unexpected pairings are sometimes the best ones and this is definitely the case with Caridge. Brilliant move by the writers and even more brilliant if they actually keep them together for the foreseeable future.
Boooooooooooooo, don’t take the focus off Rick, don’t bring this triange from hell back.
Ditto.
I haven’t watched long enough so I have no clue who steffy is other then Liams ex. I do Not like Caroline and Ridge. Seems kinda creepy to me. He’s better with Brooke or Katie. Caroline seems way to young for Ridge
Ridge was married to Dr. Taylor Hays they had 3 children together Thomas, & twin girl’s Steffy & Phoebe. Thomas is in Paris, Phoebe died, Steffy was named after her grandmother Stephanie Forrester (Eric’s wife). Steffy never liked the Logan women being a part of Forrester & she always blamed Brook for the break-up of her parents. She dated Liam, got pregnant, married him and lost the baby. Liam wanted to make the marriage work but when Steffy found out she could never have children she took off for Paris & divorced him. Liam went back with Hopeless. Later after seeing a doctor she found out she could have children again & came back to Liam who rejected her to be with Hopeless. Hope all this helps!
OMG I am so happy she’s back. What a beautiful actress. I think she should take over Forrester Creations, Although I love Jacob Young(Rick) and I think he’s doing a bang up job someone needs to dethrone him & Steffy would be perfect. Eric needs to get his butt back and put Rick in his place, Caroline needs to stay with Ridge maybe even start their own company with Steffy taking all the staff that don’t want to work with Rick, leaving Rick with the sinking ship. At the very least let him acknowledge that he can’t run the company.
I am thrilled that they are bringing Steffy back!! However, I don’t want Liam running Forrester, I think Steffy should get the company back again for her family. I really don’t see why they would have Liam having any interests like that concerning the Forrester family company. I’m ready for Steffy to clean house!!
I’m glad that they had Caroline sign the papers but I do not see this Ridge relationship lasting. Seems silly. But I am happy that they finally made her stop begging him back. Her character is way to strong for that.
As far as character pairing, I’m thinking Ridge will go back to Brook or someone other than a girl that is young enough to be his daughter. I want Carter with Myrna’s sister. Caroline needs to be independent for a while, Rick needs serious help, Katie and Bill, and im not sure if I want Steffy to go back to Liam but who are we kidding Steffy doesn’t really need a man.=)) Liam and Ivy are very BORING but I love the characters maybe if the writers could livin them up a bit and they might be ok. But those are my opinions. I really love this show, watch it religiously. Huge FAN!!!!!!
I’m glad Caroline signed the papers as well but they put so much focus on the papers, like Ridge saying (twice) don’t sign them without your lawyer seeing them. I wonder if Rick in his serious state had his lawyers print something like “Caroline agrees to design only for Forrester” just to keep her away from Ridge? Why would they put Liam in charge when Steffy is coming back? She’ll mop the floor with Rick & his Maya. Not to mention since she’s been named after her grandmother she’ll take that picture over the fireplace & break it over Maya’s head. Watch out LOGANS STEFFY’S back.
I LOVE STEFFY… sadly her time here will be short…
Liam swooping in to say he wants to run Forrester is beyond insane….he barely has “worked” at Spencer Creations… never mind RUN FC… these storylines are just getting ridiculous!
Rick needs to seek medical help for his “issues” or to grow up quick..
Caroline needs to be by herself to rid herself of the toxicity…. Maya needs a reality check and Brooke should tell her to get her ass out of this mansion and ERIC’s bed….gross ( its your dads bed)
Ridge…well I just think he’s much too old for Caroline… hate to think that means he is stuck with Brooke but it’s not a good fit….
Eric needs to get home, take down his “GONE FISHING” sign and get the heck back to work before these incompetent idiots tank his legacy.
Lastly back to Liam for a second, I realize they are trying to get him to grow a backbone and I am all for that…but he does not know a damn thing about running a company.
Why on earth would Liam take over Forrester… that’s way out there, imo.
Glad Steffy’s back… pity his current gf. Happy Caroline signed the divorce papers, but don’t really want her with Ridge. I don’t think she really wants Ridge. Ridge is just a dog.
I’m not really a Steffi fan, but I do prefer her over Liam’s current girlfriend (Ivy), she’s beyond annoying. I’m glad Caroline signed the divorce papers so she can move on with Ridge, who has no shame when it comes to putting the moves on other peoples wives. If Caroline is that weak, she definitely doesn’t belong with Rick. Everyone may think Maya is a gold digger, but how many gold diggers go around telling everyone her true motives for being with Rick, she hasn’t denied wanting to be part of a prominent family and live a life she could only dream about. I believe she truly loves him and I hope Rick really see’s that and can forget about that silly, so easily seduced, Caroline. P.S. Rick firing that gun has opened up a new can of worms, I can’t wait to see where the writers are going with this. Crazy!
Glad Steffie is back. Caroline is too young for Ridge who is a mess in anyone’s language. Liam needs the challenge of taking over Forrester. Never been a fan of “Pretty Boy Rick”.
Glad to see Steffy as Jacqui Mac rocks the show. I hope with Hope gone for now, we can erase the laborious exercise that was the Hope-Liam-Steffy then known as the Hope-Liam-Wyatt triangle. What a waste. Hastily shifting plots and allegiances. Makes it all unwatchable as these characters seem not to believe in love save for the concept. I cannot believe if there are all these sudden and upsets and fast-starts to marriages and babies (who all die by miscarriage). Please, Mr. Bell, take stock of your talent, the history your father created, and craft some suspenseful stories that build romance for longer than a minute (same for the marriages that result), put our characters in danger from time to time, and make us not want to miss a minute. Thank you!
I love the character of Steffy, and Jacqueline MacInnes Wood is a great young actress. Her scenes in 2013 when she lost her and Liam’s baby were phenomenal, and JMW should have gotten an Emmy for them. Since her departure, the show has been way too focused on Hope, essentially replacing the Steffy/Liam/Hope never ending triangle with Liam/Hope/Wyatt. Now that Hope is gone, I wish Steffy could stick around for more than just a short-term story arc, and maybe bring Thomas and Taylor back to LA too. But at least she is coming back for a little while, I really miss her presence, way more than I miss Hope.
Quick gripe: why does Liam want to take over Forrester Creations?! He barely even works at Spencer Publications, and if anything, it would be Steffy, Ridge, Bill or even Brooke taking control of the company, not Liam. That makes no sense to me.
I agree with you that Liam would not be able to take over Forrester, I think it was a heat of the moment comment. He is upset the way Rick has been treating Ivy and Caroline. You are right it makes no sense. Either does Brooke coming back for one day and calling the shots
Would love to see Ridge and Caroline together, just to put Rick over the edge.
Love that Steffi is coming back, she has been missed.
Wish Brooke would go back to Italy permanently. No men left for her, they are all taken. Who will she steal next?
I agree, Let Caroline & Ridge get together. Baby boy Rick needs a kick out of the company that he can’t run to begin with & he’s proven that already. I didn’t think Liam could take over the company but if he’s running it with Steffy (who ran it before) and they have enough percentage of the company with Ridge’s percent’s as well (and Ridge will give his daughter his percentage points to get rid of that baby). it could work.I can’t get over Brook today & how she tried to take over.She thinks Ridge owes her??? How many affair’s did she have. He was right saying (great parenting) I think Caroline may just be the one to settle Ridge down.
I think Ridge and Brooke cancel each other out on who is the worst parent, who has slept with the most people, had the most affairs Etc. Even in the world of soaps their compass is far off center…. Caroline and Ridge are more father-daughter then lovers weird, Ridge needs to remember how he felt when Steffy had her fling with Bill Spencer, and all the nasty things he said in regards to that even though in the end it was just to get FC back in the family. Not to say the next few weeks on B&B s h old be interesting.
Thrilled to have Steffy back on the canvas. It gave me a reason to start watching B & B again. She is one of a a kind !!! I quit watching when they turned a romantic male character worth investing in (Ridge) into a hollow inspid child. Professing his undying love to one woman and a month later doing the same to a little girl. This character has lost any credibilty and is NOT worth wasting time watching. Thank goodness for the FF funtion on my DVR. Hoping to see Steffy and Liam together !!!!!! Happy Valentines Day !!!
