CBS’ The Young and the Restless will celebrate its 11,000th episode on-air on September 1st. Leading up to the milestone and celebration, the series will feature clip packages featuring retrospective clips and interviews with some of the most notable and enduring names in the A-list iconic cast.
Look for Peter Bergman (Jack), Lauralee Bell (Christine), Sharon Case (Sharon), Doug Davidson (Paul), Jess Walton (Jill), Eileen Davidson (Ashley), Kristoff St. John (Neil), and Christian LeBlanc (Michael), along with Melody Thomas Scott (Nikki) with Eric Braeden (Victor), as previewed on TV Insider, to start each episode and get their special moment beginning next Monday on the August 22nd, and continuing through September 2nd on the top-rated soap.
If you caught a glimpse of the package featuring Melody and Eric that will air in its entirety next Monday, there was an emotional moment when Braeden talks about the legendary late, great Jeanne Cooper (Katherine Chancellor). It’s not-to-be missed.
Are you excited to see these upcoming packages on Y&R and stroll down memory lane with some of your Genoa City favorites? Let us know in the comment section below.
Zzzzzzzzzzzz
rolling on the floor LMAO
it’s priceless that your post is up front
I CANNOT and will not… care
dust off the dead… here comes plaudits pundits and persevere… Victor and Nikki
oh gosh
I have heard and read– fans saying that super couple this super couple, they could be a super couple about most all the couples including the 3/whatever years of Luke and Laura..
Victor and Nikki are the one and only super couple, the one and only super couple who can carry that title ..
They hold the title, the crowns belong to Victor and Nikki ,,,, !!..
Except when he kicks her to the curb for disagreeing with him. You got that?!
THIS IS THE STORY THAT REPLAYS OVER AND OVER…IT IS NOW TIME TO FAST FORWARD WHEN THIS SUPER COUPLE COMES ON…..WE HAVE SEEN AND HEARD IT TOO MANY TIMES….BORING!!!
Su,
Totally agree….Nikki and Victor for sure!
Yes! Y&R rocks!
These two relics continue their suffocation of Y&R. It has become apparent that Chuck Pratt will do everything to prop these two at the expense of the show’s future. The audiences are tuning out in droves as the ratings dive. CBS & Sony need to get this show turned around before it falls off the cliff.
I love legacy characters but I am not sure just what Victor and Nikki do anymore! What about her MS? Miracle cure? Why does she allow herself to be victimized by Victor’s machinations? Why does she go back after all the adultery and misdeeds? Let me see a strong Nikki without Victor. There is no romance here. Too many wrongs, illegitimate children, whatever. Y&R needs a Katherine type again. Nikki is poised to be that person if she “womans up.” Miss Scott is a strong enough actor to take us there. Kudos to Mr. Braeden, but I see nothing on Victor anymore for which to cheer. Even as a villain, Victor is boring. Mr. Bill Bell changed out the show’s core characters in the early 1980s to reflect changing tastes. Maybe it is time to do that again?
EB is on five days a week or they are discussing him not sure you should wrap the future of a soap opera on a 75 year old bully.
William Bell did not change the core characters in the early 80’s to reflect changing tastes. He did it because Jamie Lyn Bauer quit and that part was not going to be recasted. He had already too many recasts in the main families, so he decided to change the families to the Abbots and the Willliams. Victor Newman was a hit so this character and family was expanded. If Jamie Lyn had not quit, we would have had Prentisses and Fosters for many more years.
I agree to some extend. Certainly, the turn of events, where Adam is concerned, is stupid and uninteresting. Seriously? Adam starves himself for two whole days which cause him to hallucinate, and attack the guard? Tell it to an idiot!!!! None of us is one!!!!
Chelsea’s whining; her perfect wifey act is unnerving…..and, Chloe? C’mon–her hate for Adam, which has been an insidious malady in her blood, has suddenly dissipated; blowing in the wind? Nah…I don’t buy it.
But, I am enjoying Victoria and Tristan. He reminds me of the typical California beach god. I thought I could not see Victoria capture my baser senses with anyone else but Billy M….but, Tristan comes veeeery close, Sandy.
Sorry, Timmmy. LOL.
Travis is a Billy Miller clone so I see why you are getting toasty C! As you know in soaps, there has to be an object in the way of happiness so Travis will be Billy’s object!
@Timmm.
Toasty? That’s a new one. I like it!!
I am, generally, not into fair-haired or fair-complected guys, but I can make an exception for Michael Roark. He can make any girl ‘toasty’.
One thing, the hair on his arms looked like fur…turn off!! LOL.
I simply cannot abide Nikki, the Victor-horse whisperer, defending her husband when she knows he’s a rat bastard from hell. I wonder if there is a storage unit in Genoa City containing Jack’s and Nikki’s backbones? Yes, I know Jack has evolved and has left his foolish play things behind which includes his obsessional need to destroy Victor. However, why must this include his constant simpering and kowtowing to Phyllis. “I’m so sorry for breathing Phyllis,” Jack seems to say every single day of his simpering life. What an utterly joyless couple. However, even Phyllis’s affair with Billy seems joyless and herein lies the problem with Y&R–folks have sacrificed their spines, their morals their ethics in order to sustain joyless relationships. Where’s the fun in that?
Yes, I agree with Celia about the Adam-is-framed debacle. What a horrid storyline! The only positive thing I could say about it is that it was finally coming to an end. But that speck of positivity was dashed when Adam lunged for the throat of the guard after becoming delirious from a day of fasting and no sleep. So this torture will go on and on.
And Chelsea is unbearable with the constant fretting and moping. The only enjoyable thing about this character is her beautiful hair styles and stylish wardrobe which is more than I can say for Chelsey. Chelsey wears the most God-awful, dreary looking clothes. Speaking of Chelsey, she seems to be establishing squatter’s rights in Adam’s apartment. Yesterday she acted astonished when Victor told her she will need to move out when Adam is released. This psycho chick in the bad clothes ain’t going anywhere! And she doesn’t seem to return Kevin’s feelings because it seems to me that the only person for whom she has romantic feelings is Chelsey. I sense a Single White Female storyline evolving here, but at least that would be interesting!
Sorry–I sometimes mix up the names of Chloe and Chelsey. Chloe is the one in the bad clothes and the object of her affection, Chelsey, is the one in the good clothes.
It must be the CH of their names which confuses me
I agree with CC to. Adams two day hunger strike wouldn’t cause this melt. He was JUST celebrating Connors birthday and now he sees Warden Mustache! Just lock Adam away since Justin is leaving!
Everything you said, Harry.
Chelsea? The whine-my-heart-out forevermore, Chelsea? It’s not just her eye-catching hair styles. It’s the texture of her hair. It’s healthy, lustrous and luscious!! Gorgeous hair. And, her wardrobe?
Obviously, the clothes must be original creations, if she is the ‘designer’….I wonder who is behind said designs….there’s a buck or two to be made there!!
“Copies” of many of the tunics Chelsea wears are sold at Nordstrom’s . I recognized them right away.
I always appreciate strong friendships between women, Harry. And, I have said that I like the one between Chelsea and Chloe. But, I must also agree with you.
Surprisingly enough, considering the bad blood between Adam and Chloe, Chelsea welcomed her with open arms into her home.
Now that you mention it, perhaps I spoke too soon.
It is a weird situation going on in the Adam Newman’s household turned daycare/shelter center.
I love Elizabeth H….I don’t trust Chloe as far as I can throw her. She is a snake, to me. And the only thing snakes change is their skin.
Writers, please prove me wrong!!
Right on!!! Good show, Harry!!
I say: snap out of it, Nikki. You’re not imbibing your daily fare of vodka, so you seem to be lucid.
I just don’t get it, Harry!! Nikki knows her husband inside out; which means deep down, she knows Victor is capable of hurting his own child this way and more.
She’s not some ingenue in the throes of her first relationship. The character has been ‘used’ and ‘reused’….how many times?
And, Adam? What’s with the martyr act?
As I intimated, and also, Ron…..TPTB are giving Justin some room for both the shows…or, as Ron said….giving time for a new actor to pick up the Adam role.
no tracey e. bregman ( lauren) clips?
shes been on the show 2nd longest to doug davidson..
lauren and michael need a storyline.. bring back carmine for abby and lauren…
abby must be bored by now of stitch and lauren can be tempted again by him if he claims hes redeemed
Actually here is the way it goes in who has been on longest: DD,MTS,EB,ED&TB. However you are right Tracy should have been part of it . Not sure what the situation is she did however tell someone she was not part of it that asked her on social media. Why Pratt will not write for her don’t know?
Thank you CBS even though you NEVER spoke to the fans about why Michael Muhney was dismissed! Needless to say, Y&R is #1 and thats the reason you will not see any clips of…
Glummer
Kooka
Ratalie
Carmine
Austin
Fake Malcomm
Daisy
Ryder
And farmhand Sam!
OMGEEE… Farmhand Sam! I forgot all about him…
Concerning MM it was more convenient to let you assume the worst and it did indeed work out for them.
HaHaHa. Promise , Timmmy? No clips of Glummer and Kooka?
Since Chuck Pratt is STILL trashing this show via his horrible so-called writing, I will take a pass – this show is TANKING in the ratings and he is to blame.
11,000 episode or not, I’m sure it will be like any other show he has written since – dull, lame and nothing about nothing.
I just can’t muster up any enthusiasm for this milestone.
WORD ! Well Said ! GH, not perfect, but it’s damn entertaining, unfortunately can’t say the same about any other show….
hey Bart ..
Y&R is not ”TANKING” in ratings-
it would need to lose 2 million viewers to be in the numbers of other soaps lol..
Y&R to even be near to tanking would need to lose millions and that will never happen..
Y&R will not even lose a million ..
One thing about Y&R– it is steady.. even if it loses 20,000 it still would be on top..
Oh, Bart!! I can’t blame you for your sentiments. I do hope there is a light at the end of all these marionettes’ backsides, as they exit the stage.
I have noticed significant changes with Mal Young’s hand. I agree that Chuck Pratt’s writing is sometimes over the top but the set design changes and the production style are all changing big time. I have a feeling that Mr. Pratt won’t be around too much longer. Just a feeling. But I am excited to see what Mr. Young will bring. As the Fall season comes new stories will come into play and the Summer tales will wind down. I love Y&R and have only positive thoughts for their success. JFP is gone and that was my Christmas miracle. Now let’s get Pratt to go back to Melrose Place and I will be jumping for joy…
This is true, Mateo. I was happy to see Mrs C’s mansion restored to its former glory–good move and perhaps a sign of good things to come.
I’m really liking the changes of Mal Young and his vision. The Chancellor Mansion looks great in an updated original state. Now to rid ourselves of Chuck Pratt would be icing on the cake. We need Judith Chapman to return as Gloria.
I look forward to it. I think it’s great to celebrate the actors, characters, and storylines.

Lucas Adams and Tamara Braun Written Out of The Young and the Restless

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 Says She Will Return to ‘The View’ During its Season 30

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.
