But while Y&R is set to give its fans the 10,000 episode, there are a few events surrounding the big event to be noted! First on Wednesday September 26th live on The Talk, Sharon Case ( Sharon) and Joshua Morrow (Nick) will chat with the ladies of the panel about Shick’s long standing and tortured relationship, and of course being part of the iconic soap opera! So make sure to tune in at 2PMEST/1PMPST.
Then on Thursday, Melody Thomas Scott (Nikki) and Daniel Goddard (Cane) will be live tweeting during the east coast feed of the 10,000 episode at 12:30EST.

After the jump, watch this week’s big promo and then let us if you will be watching the 10,000 episode, The Talk, and will be part of the live tweeting with Melody and Daniel!
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 am excited for the 10,000 episode and all the festivities, but the promo left much to be desired. I want more! Ha! Ha!
As is the case with most climaxes of a story, it should be interesting to see whether next week is good or a snoozefest. I hope poor Paul’s situation gets wrapped up and Victor gets back to running his company and then the new head writer give us a good, but fast-paced story.
I LOVE SHARON and Drucilla!!! I am so excited for Dru to return.
I am not a Shick fan I love Sharon Case & Joshua Morrow big I am a big fan to Sharon Case&Michael Muhney I love Shadam & I hope the writers put them back to together
So in love with Sharon! She was so funny at Victor’s funeral. OMG she also can do comedy also! Just loved it!
LOL now Y&R is copying the great GH once again with the ”live tweeting”
What’s next Y&R will have band as ” Port Chuck”” lol
There will be more GH familiarity with Y&R with JP taking over.
Y&R has been struggling for a long time, how it stays on top rating wise is a mystery.
I am looking forward to the changes and hopefully better stories and if lucky Y&R will go out of the box! 🙂
I’m not excited about the 10,000th episode but I can’t wait to see Joshua Morrow and Sharon Case on the Talk. Love Shick! They’ve been a huge reason why I’ve watched Y&R for so long.
I am loving the fact that the suits at CBS are finally cross promoting Y&R with other shows (TPR and The Talk). It’s a huge milestone and it all leads up to the 40th anniversary of the show in the first part of next year. The Young and the Restless is known around the world as the best, and most iconic daytime serial out there, and this fan will be front and center for all of the fireworks! Thank you, CBS!
can’t wait
Just finished watching 10,000 show ( day earlier here) I was really disappointed, with all the hype I was expecting something more than what it was. The best part for me was new photos for the opening sequence FINALLY. I think I was more excited about that than for the whole show, because it has been a pet peeve of mine for years that they didn’t update those photos that were so out of date. And now they have, I hope that is beginning of great things to come.
Mary SF, what did you think about episode 9,999? I don’t know if it was my hormones, but seeing the sham of a funeral that the family had to endure and seeing them so heartbroken (especially Nikki) made me cry. It was great to see Victor walking over to Nikki, but after what you said, I fear that this feeling will be shortlived. I hate when a big story has climaxed and then there is a soft landing and then back to business as usual.
I am glad that we will finally get to see the long-awaited new opening. I am sure Michael Graziadei and is short haircut are gone, though. I loved that scene. But if Sharon Case got a new opening that doesn’t look like she has lost her car in the parking lot, that will be nice. 🙂
I can only hope that the new head writer can do our characters justice, and at a quicker pace.
I have been watching since 1979 and I lost count the number of times I have seen funerals for characters I know are not dead that I find it hard to empathize with the emotion. So for show 9999 I like they played up the farce that it was because it made think at least they are not attempting to convince me invest being upset over a death we all know didn’t happen again. I give MTS credit for pulling off another grave side scene off, but it would have meant more if I thought the character really died, like Cassie, Brad or Colleen, those deaths were real tear jeakers and for those kinds of deaths I will get out my box of kleenex and cry my eyes out.
I think there is something morally corrupt with Sharon right now. I know that it is just a SHOW, but think about the implications of having a “body” cremated? It was very unfair of her to take some John Doe and cremate it without finding out who he belonged to. What about that person’s family?
I guess I am in the minority because I do not for one second think Sharon’s antics are funny. It is sad. I don’t care what she knows to be true or not, but for the rest of the family to believe he was dead and then to do that to them was horrible. They had a better memorial service for her when they thought she was dead. I kept wishing someone would come up and punch her in the nose and get that smirk off her face. Her constant primping during the service. It was all just disgusting … in my opinion.
Perhaps Sharon didn’t really cremate John Doe. All we heard her say was she wanted to take care of things right away. She could have paid the attendant to tell the family the body had been creamted when in reality she made other arrangements to store him until she could figure out who he was. I think that is plausible considering how she treated the urn at the funeral. Maybe she knew no ashes were really in it. We can only hope the writers will address this in up coming show and tell us ,who this guy was, if not I am just going think Sharon did something with the body that was a bit more respectful than what we saw.
