THIS WEEK On Y&R: Will Lauren Confess Her Affair With Carmine to Michael?

Things are heating up for May Sweeps in Genoa City, in this week’s latest promo from the number one soap, The Young and the Restless!
After nights and liaisons with Carmine (Marco Dapper), is Lauren’s (Tracey E. Bregman) moment of truth upon her? Look like it… as a fit-to-be-tied Michael Baldwin (Christian LeBlanc) tells his wifey to come clean! Will she admit she has been getting it on with hottie Carmine?
The scene is set for some high drama! Will Michael revert back to his old ways? Will Lauren choose Carmine over trying to get back with Michael? Are you digging this storyline on Y&R?
Watch the latest CBS promo, and let us know if you think Michael should show Lauren the front door? Or, try again to save his marriage? And, do you think Michael might just go after Carmine for some payback? Weigh-in!
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.

I think she’s going to have to. Michael has evidence and suspicions. Carmine and Lauren are hot together!
I can see Michael forgiving Lauren, but she has to want it and not get back in bed with Carmine. Should be good!!!!!
Can’t say the same for Dylan and Avery. Yawnsville. GH can have him back.
I think that she loves Mike and all but I think it is over for them I do not think he can forgive her.as for Carmine I think she is developing real feelings for him.looks like from the preview they jump back into bed together.I like Carmine and Lauren together I hope the writers can write soemthing real for them.
The Lauren/Michael/Carmine story is TERIFFIC!! I’m still undecided as to how the outcome of her affair should play out, but it has been very entertaining !!
“Y & R” is back to character-driven drama!! Some/Many have complained that they are bored, but not me – I’m actually enjoying the show again since the new regime came in to clean house and get back to basics!!
Honestly, I would like to see him give her the front door and possibly pair up with someone else. I find the characters rather boring and leading a dull existence. Love the actors though but enough is enough….
I hate this storyline! Lauren had NO reason to do this to Michael. I think she has reverted to her old ways.
I agree Lew.
This S/L is very creepy… mainly because of “Carmine.” I don’t see this ending well for any of the characters and it’s really too bad. Michael & Lauren were the only long-term, happily-married couple on the soaps and now it looks like they have been destroyed.
For a creepy male-slut 🙁
The interesting dynamic is that this could bring Michael & Fen closer as Fen would most likely be horrified at his mother’s affair.
I still think they are going to make Fen go all stalker on Summer ala Michael & Christine from years ago.
I hope they don’t go down that route with Fen. It took years to redeem the character Michael after his attack on Christine. But I do agree that the actor playing Fen has a Norman Bates from Psycho look about him—that I wouldn’t want to run into him in a dark alley myself.
I think it would be more interesting for Kyle to go down the route. Go all stalker and obsessed with Phyllis. This would create conflict between father and son, but also mother and daughter because you know Summer would think Phyllis lead him on. I guess we will just have to wait and see which offspring goes off the deep end next.
I think the story line is realistic and it has been a nice chance of pace that it is the woman having the affair, rather than the man. Last year, while Lauren was away for a while, I thought Michael was going to hook up with Avery, and cheat on Lauren, but it didn’t happen. A part of me hopes the writers will have the couple work it out- going through the process of healing after an affair. It was nice to have one normal married couple on the show, and I’m surprised they kept them together for this long.
I wish they would just get to it and not drag it on and on and on..
I like faster paced soaps, and GH is doing a very good job of moving on but Y&R still drags out the stories, and that bores me and sometimes I just lose interest when stories go on forever..
so, ya hope Michael finds out tomorrow .. 🙂
They were the one couple that was stable and I hate what you have done with Michael and Lauren. Let them go back being the loving couple that they were.
I am tired of this story line…it has gone on too long. Get everyone back on track…Kevin and Chloe…either make them bad and in jail or fix them. I like Avery and Dylan. So glad Steve Burton came on Y/R…if only for a short time.
Great story all the actors involved are doing a excellent job!! Kudos Tracey,Christian,Marco,and Max you guys are keeping me entertained the only days I watch are when you guys are on.
Way to go Lauren! Still one hot mama!
I dont like it at all. The whole reason Lauren got mad at Michael was ridiculous. I don’t know what is wrong with her. Michael and Lauren are great together. If the writers knew how to heat them up without using the same old tired stories. All they know how to do is keep it all in family. As for carmine Lauren story. Its disgusting. I am sorry but they make me sick. But I love Michael taking charge. In these situations they always end badly. Michael I just Sony know but wait he will probably sleep with Sharon next week. She’s always eager to help out. I love Tracey but I am very dissapointed in Lauren. If they break up I will stop watching. Tired of watching shows with no moral values.
if some one remembers…. could you tell me what days this happens….
so i can you-tube or hulu this epi.
Thanks.
I don’t like the whole direction the show is going. For the first time, I am getting tired of the same old predictable shows.
Stupidest affair ever. I can understand why she would want him, but why would he want her? Doesn’t make any sense.
I think that Carmine is going to end up being murdered & that there will be a long line of potential suspects, another murder mystery. Instead of Michael being on the persecutions side, he will probably be prime suspect number one.
