Who Should Play Julie Spencer on The Bold and the Beautiful?
Courtesy/CBS
The Bold and the Beautiful is once again extending the Spencer clan, as it is becoming one of the prominent families on the CBS soap!
In casting news today out of Soap Opera Digest, “B&B is looking for a Caucasian female in her mid-to-late 40s to play Julie Spencer, a beautiful, smart and sophisticated businesswoman. The role is recurring, with a possibility of it becoming contract. The show wants recognizable names only.”
So just how would Julie be related to Bill Spencer played by Don Diamont? That is one of the questions viewers will have!
Let us know what recognizable names you would submit to B&B’s casting to be considered for the role of Julie? Who would you like to see back on a daytime soap opera? Let us know!
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.

Marcy Walker
Robin Christopher, Tamara Braun or Gina Tognoni!
Gina Tognoni if they are smart.
Sarah Joy Brown
I desire an actress of soap opera “Loaving”, that is very popular in other countries, like Italy…
for example: Noelle Beck … Lisa Peluso …Laurin Marie Taylor …the actress that personified Dinahlee Mc Berry …
I would love to see either Gina Tognoni (ex-Dinah, GL; ex-Kelly, OLTL) or Beth Chamberlin (ex-Beth, GL). Both women would be fantastic to see returning to daytime. Or maybe even a non-soap actress that could be up-and-coming!
I don’t know that Bill needs another sibling…hopefully Julie would be a hard-hitting ex-wife instead! I was kind of hoping B&B would bring BIll’s mother to town in the form of a powerhouse actress (think Elizabeth Hubbard) to be the only one who could control the uncontrollable Dollar Bill! However,,,an ex-wife would do!
I too would LOVE to see Elizabeth Hubbard as Dollar Bill’s mom! Bill Bell hear our voices…
robin christopher!!!!!
Wendy Moniz
It’s hard to say since the character description is so generic. There are so many talented actresses out there that I’d love to see on any show that it is hard to say one or another.
Julie Pinson
Gina and Tamara are a little young. Mid to late 40‘s…let‘s see…i would LOVE to see Marcy Walker back on soaps but last I heard she is doing something much more worthwhile and is heavily involved in her church, so she is not returning to soaps. I say Jensen Buchanan!! Loved loved loved her as Vicky on Another World. Maybe then they could lure Tom Eplin out of retirement too!
Shouldn’t julie spencer be one of caroline’s adopted siblings? That would be the most logical storyline bec the lesbian couple is based on joanna who has adopted children who are racial minorities. The spencer clan can have racial diversity thru this kind of casting. Here’s the problem for racial minority actors and particularly Asian american actors. No one hires them and creates roles for them on day soaps. They get no acting experience. And then casting calls are made for soap actors w/ acting experience on soaps only. Casting calls require that the actor is known from prior soaps. How can racial minority actors and especially Asian american actors get acting experience on soaps when there are no day soap operas that hire them? There are no day soap operas w/ any Asian american chars on abc and cbs! None on gh and yet it’s based on a hospital from a fictional town from ny w/c should have Asian americans among the medical storylines. None on days. None on y&r. None on amc. Only recurring chars on oltl. And none on b&b and yet there are tons of Asian american fashion designers! The population of l.a. has more Asian americans compared to African americans. There should be some Asian american chars on b&b. Casting julie spencer as an Asian american char who is adopted would be a good step towards rectifying that problem for b&b. Casting calls like these were part of the factors that made me quit even reading abt the storylines on b&b.
Catherine Hickland…….
Liam’s mother to get into it with Brooke –and Taylor
Liam’s mother is dead and never married Bill.
Julie Pinson.
I’m thinking a cousin.
I like Julie Pinson like others have suggested. I have no clue though and will leave casting up to Brad Bell.
an actress of Loaving please!!! for Italy!!!
Beth Ehlers, Maura West, Kelley Menighan Hensley, Martha Byrne 🙂 theres a few real good ones!!!
Maura West, Martha Byrne or Kelley Menighan Hensley!
Kelly hensley, Martha Byrne (or the actor who played Susan Stewart on As The World Turns)
Genie Frances!
Elizabeth Berkley
I know she’s busy, but Martha Byrne will be perfect for this role!
How do you apply for that position? what type of experience do they need?
I would love to see Martha Byrne back on soap.
Julie Spencer is Quinn.
Bill got fired and he will find a job at the Quinn ‘s
So this is for me very clear that Julie Spencer is Quinn! or can be Bills daughter!!!!
Because Wyatt is for sure Bills son!….This is what I believe.
I AM 12 YEARS OLD AND I AM A PIANIST AND ORGANIST! Thanks to my mom because she is my jewel and I love her so much!
I like all the characters in B&B. I save it ,when I come from the school I am watching it .
I am a A+ STUDENT and I am looking to meet all the characters from the soap opera in Hollywood! I love school, acting and music! This year I will audition for Juilliard NY for Precollege! Good luck and God bless the producer Mr. Bell! With love and respect for all the girls in B&B…….JB! I LOVE YOU KIM MATULA! Thank you for accepting me as a friend on facebook!
