Vail Bloom OUT at The Young and the Restless?
It looks like Heather Stevens had been killed-off on The Young and the Restless marking the end of Vail Bloom’s most recent run on the CBS daytime drama series, although the series is not officially commenting on her status with the show.
Rumors have been circulating that Bloom, who has been on recurring status with the soap, would be leaving, but there has been no word from the actress as of this writing on social media, either. Then, on the Thursday, September 26th episode of Y&R, Heather met her maker when in a confrontation with a deeply-disturbed Sharon (Sharon Case), she conked the back of her head and was bleeding out on Daniel’s apartment floor.
If there is a twist coming to the story, could it be that Heather is actually alive and the events we saw transpire are all in Sharon’s troubled imagination? When speaking with Michael Fairman during her recent visit to You Tube’s Michael Fairman Channel, Case had teased on her current storyline, “This is is a page-turner. This has a lot of twists and turns. So, even when you think you do have it figured out or ‘now you know,’ that’s going to change. I guarantee you it’s going to change several times. There’ll be different circumstances that will come up, different people and characters, and it wildly shifts.”

Meanwhile, the role of Paul Williams’ (Doug Davidson) adult version of his daughter was first played by Bloom, when she joined The Young and the Restless in 2007 and ended her run the first time in 2010. The soap brought back the character when All My Children favorite Eden Riegel (ex-Bianca Montgomery) took over later in 2010, but she exited in 2011.
Next, three-time Daytime Emmy winner, Jen Landon (ex-Gwen, As the World Turns) played the part in 2012. No one had seen the character since 2023, when Heather returned to the Genoa City canvas as part of the return of Michael Graziadei to his signature soap-role as Daniel Romalotti.
So, do you think Vail Bloom is no longer at The Young and the Restless? Do you think Sharon is imaging the whole thing and Heather is alive and well? Comment below.
I for one hope it’s a dream because I don’t know how the character comes back from this. Going to hang with it because I like Case she has taken everything every writer has thrown her and smiled she is a team player. The interview she had with MF gave me hope it will be a page turner I’m not happy if she murdered someone
If Sharon did kill Heather then she should do life in prison. Any other out come would just be insane. I hate this story line.
It’s complete justice! Daniel deserves the same suffering that Sharon endured for 20 years.
No he doesn’t deserve it. Daniel didn’t kill Cassie, she was responsible for her demise. She was a spoiled brat her parents couldn’t handle.
I don’t care at this point. This boring crap with Sharon is the worst I’ve seen in many years on Y&R. We know darn well they are not throwing Sharon to the wolves so we just have to watch the mess, or not!
What Violet said.
Hope not because this is a exit for case also I just not sure it is what it seems
No sadly she doesn’t leave. If only it was that.
If Heather is indeed dead, then I doubt Sharon did it, but she believed she did it so got rid of the body.
Also since Sharon started acting so odd for no reason, and she was apparently taking her meds, it’s possible there could be a third person who tampered with her meds to make Sharon mentally unstable. Then this third person was following her, took advantage of the situation at the apartment when Sharon passed out, killed Heather in order to gaslight Sharon in believing she did it.
A third unexpected person who hates Sharon, being behind all of it, would definitely add another twist to the story and seems the most likely way to redeem the character at some point– I sincerely doubt Y&R is going to blow up the character Sharon permanently.
But whatever it is, kudos to Case– she’s got a great Emmy reel in the making with this storyline.
Typical Sharon stans who act like this crazy bitch can’t make wrong. She’s able to kill in cold blood.
I like your explanation of what’s going on with Sharon the best from all the other theories I’ve read.
Interesting! But who could the third person be? Phyllis is not that crazy anymore – pain in the ass, but I don’t see her doing that. Nikki, I think she’s pass her hatred of Sharon. I like your theory.
I can’t believe that out if the blue there could be a third person that has it in for Sharon or Heather, for that matter, None of it makes sense and is one of the worst SLs they’ve ever done. Why do they want us to hate Sharon Case? The only thing I can think of is that they are using this SL to bring Paul back and being the great detective he is, he will want to be there himself to find his daughter’s murderer.
In all the years I’ve watched, I’ve never known one person to hate Sharon.,we all know Niicki thought she was after the Newman money, but she’s mellowed out over the years.Even Phylliss was just jealous and resentful of Sharon, because of Nick, but this is not her doing, Hopefully, if Paul comes back, he will straighten Sharon out as well as finding Heather’s killer. He and Sharon were in love years ago and she was married to his son , Dylan that he and Nicki share, that is now in Witness Protection.
I agree, that this whole cockemami story is not to get rid of Sharon Case, one of their favorites, there are a lot less convoluted ways of doing it.
I hope she imagining this bc this is getting stupid. Little way out there.
Heather is not dead.
Oh really? Was that a dummy in the Morgue?
Noooooo. Love Vail Bloom. She is soo cool and confident in her portrayal of Heather, Paul’s daughter. Carrying the legacy of a major past character and the last of the Williams.
Pls let something have happened in between when Sharon fell asleep and awoke to find her body. Just when you think Josh Griffith couldn’t get any worse!
I hope he didn’t kill off Heather.
JG should be fired if he killed Heather. This story needs to be his demise.
I agree. This will be JG fault. I liked Heather.
If a character needs to be killed, it’s Sharon, she ran her course on this show, she isn’t needed. I get fed up of all the favoritism for her. Others celebrated 30 or 40 years on this show and they don’t get one whole week of shows all about her. More she commits crimes she never pays for. It’s time to write for other characters who are ignored since a too long time.
I do not like this story. I don’t know how Sharon could come back from this. She can’t say she was insane because she knew enough to cover up Heather’s death. I don’t like that they killed Heather. I am hoping this is some nightmare/dream or something.
I’m not a fan of Heather, but I bet she’s not dead—it’s a soap!! I ‘m not even sure if this is real—regardless, Sharon was incredibly believable ( pardon the oxymoron)—She must have really studied the behavior of someone with such a mental malady.
Not a fan of Heather? This cannot be the Celia I knew and loved! I really enjoyed the scenes with Heather and Sharon. Both actresses did well. Whether its fake or not, they both showed the range they have IF they actually got someone to write a story with some juicy parts!
Celia…girl, as we all know, just about all soap characters NEVER, EVER die. And if they do die…they don’t stay dead for long. Oh, those soaps. LOL
My dear…have a good one.
I think she imagined this
Yes
Very upsetting storyline. If she’s dead – it’s a deep cloud over Y and R.
Please let this be a nightmare
I was hoping that Sharon killing Heather was a hallucination.
Another blog suggested it was Daisy /Lucys bio Mom from hell. I think I will sit this one out. This is about the fourth mental illness JG has come up with . Depressing
When and why does CBS allow Griffith to perform character assassination? This is not the compelling show that it used to be. I can’t believe they are still the #1 show.
Doug Davidson is not coming back so who ever is telling that story is a lie . He has put young and the restless in the rear view mirror as he said . The best of that show ended a long time ago .
I learned something a long time ago, Never Say Never!
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.
