Having nuBilly moan about a girl he never met doesn’t play for me. I think it would have been better to write Billy out until they could find a suitable recast and give fans time without Billy Miller.
Burgess Jenkins is doing a terrific job as the new billy, You need to give him a chance. I am surprised, he is a great actor and hot too. lol.
He is. Just like the new Adam, all eyes are on the actor who is not Billy Miller. I give Burgess a ton of credit for his persistence and him taking the high road. These actors are human beings. The one big problem with Burgess, and yes he is handsome, he is taller, older, and he needs to relax his hair. Its hard to see him and Jack acting and Billy is supposed to be much younger. He looked really good and believable as Billy when he had a baseball hat on and him and Chelsea were playing ball. Keep your head up Burgess.
I have given him a chance, but I’m just not feeling it. I don’t think he’s that great an actor. I think they could have found someone better.
Like Adam. They let his heels cool and the MM story go away. Now Justin gets to walk in with a little less pressure but there will be plenty of comparisons, for sure. Billy was just shoved down our throats. David was a bust. Burgess is getting better. They need to keep him away from Victoria because when you see those two together you always think of Billy Miller.
Maria:
It has taken me a long time but Jenkins is starting to flesh out Billy as his own creation. Finally, I am seeing him as Billy. I think I would have warmed up to him faster had they not snatched David Tom away as Billy just when he was finding his footing.
I would love to see Chloe come back with Billys baby
I love the new Billy. He’s doing a fantastic job and I think he and Chelsea are going to be the next super couple. Now what can we call them “Chilly?’
I’m starting to get used to nuBilly….not completely. I agree that he is too old to play Billy, and to make it worse he looks much older than his 41 years.
Eventually, we will all accept him…..he’s doing fine.
Off subject, but I am so incensed over the affair between Hilary and Devon…actually, disgusted.
I wish Neil would suddenly get his vision back and catch them in the act so that this farce could finally end. I am so tired of this stupid triangle…which reminds me; didn’t Devon sleep with another of Neil’s ‘women’?
I can’t remember her name, but I think she was Devon’s half sister’s aunt?
This reminds me of the musical beds on GH.
I agree with your comment 100% CeeCee….nuBilly is kind of doing his gig and he is growing on me, good job..And I am also annoyed by this silly affair, much like in GH with Sonny and Carly…What its the point!!
What happen to the good old fashion affairs where you were actually cheering for the cheaters, lol…Hopefully Neil would be given some rewarding material, so he will showcase his acting talent when he finds out about the affair and end this nonsense!!…That said, Y&R is getting back on track!!!
I bet Neil’s vision will return and it’ll happen at the moment he catches Hil and Dev in bed together!!!
You’d think that sight would blind him all over again! Can’t stand Devon. Never could, never will.
@BMmom. Believe you me, my sentiments exactly. I just do not see Devon in a romantic role, period! Why does he always feel the need to feast on his father’s delights? Besides, I said this before….he looks 12. Could TPTB not have written Mackenzie to be the recipient of Catherine’s billions? Devon does not strike me as the savvy -billionaire -extraordinaire. He s@@ks at everything he does.
Please do something constructive with Hilucifer. I just do not get the reason for this role…..enough of Neil storylines….oh, and, enough of Nikki’s melodramas.
CeeCee…I think that I can clear things up here. Her name was Tyra…another TRAIN-WRECK CHICK that was all W-R-O-N-G for Neil!!!!! Anyway, I hope that I was helpful.
Peace.
Thanks, jaybird…pax to you too….later
The only thing that interests me is the return of Phyllis. I will not naysay her recast yet. But, I must comment on the fact that Phyllis would have sensed….caught on to the fact that something was awry with Jack….that he’s acting weirdly and uncharacteristically not Jack.
I want Phyllis to walk out of Jack’s life, pair up with Joe (yummy), and leave Jack with his tongue hanging down licking the footprints she left on the floor.
The Phyllis I knew would not have been so dull-witted. I mean, why isn’t she saying, “Huh ??!!”.
She should be able to discern that when Jack speaks of Billy, he is actually speaking of himself.
Plus, it must hurt Jack each and every time Phyllis refers to Kelly as ‘the whore’…LOL. No disrespect…..
Why is it that I feel no pity or feelings for Jack and Kelly? ….he just couldn’t wait…..and, she just had to have a taste of both brothers. It is for this exact reason that Y&R is well known…..family members indiscriminately sleep with each other without any qualms….sisters-in-law…brothers-in-law…..step fathers and mothers…..daughters and sons-in-law….etc.
Well, come to think of it, all soaps share this over-the-top trait.
I hope Gina delivers because none of the other storylines and lack-there-of is doing it for me. The thrill is gone.
Here goes Nikki again….always about her….so sick of it!
The Winters sick love triangle is not even worth mentioning any more.
The police department is standing on it’s last toe….really, how powerful can one Ian Ward be that gets away with all this stupidity?
And Victoria? Have the baby already!
I give up….but, as the idiot that I am, I’ll keep watching.
Burgess Jenkins still hasn’t grown on me. He is just…blah. FF material, which is too bad, because I like Chelsea and pretty much everyone else he shares scenes and storyline with.
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.
