Here’s a bit of intriguing casting news! The Young and the Restless iconic Melody Thomas Scott (Nikki Newman) will be seen in upcoming episodes of the hit teen web series Youthful Daze.
In story: children learn from what they seem and viewers are going to learn one day learn why resident bad boy Randy Milhouse (Reese Mishler) adopted his evil ways when Melody Thomas Scott joins the show as Nicole Wallace, Randy’s calculated and WASPy mother.
Bryan James, series creator and show runner says “I’m bringing Melody on to drive story, and I am excited to have her carry out a conclusion of sorts, to a huge arc on the overall series.” He adds “Its a very exciting time for the show. The show is something no soap fan should miss out on. We have new episodes online every single week. You can get hooked and you can watch religiously waiting for that new episode to drop every Sunday at 6 PM. Or you can also catch up every few weeks at your leisure. The episodes are always there. We aren’t going anywhere and its completely free to watch.
There is more good news for people wanting to check out the show. He continues “And you don’t need to watch the past. You can jump right in at any time @ www.youthfuldaze.com and it won’t take long to get caught up, just pick an episode and go from there, like you would when starting a soap on TV.”
Melody joins a roster of daytime fan favorites that also includes Bryan Craig (Morgan, General Hospital), as well as Jen Lilley (Theresa, Days of our Lives) on it currently as series regulars. Upcoming guest stars will include other soap notables: Chrishell Stause, Nic Robuck, David Gregory, and the one and only Eileen Davidson!
You can watch the latest episode of the series after the jump! Let us know what you think of the casting news of Melody Thomas Scott to Youthful Daze!
lol
why would Melody be cast as Reeses mother, it would be grandmother..
Noah and Summer, her grandchildren on Y&R are older than Randy Milhouse (Reese Mishler)
ahaa that is just not right..
I bookemarked it and will watch- looks interesting ..
I really hope Nikki does not forgive Victor. He claims poor Sharon is the bad one but he is so so so much worse
sharon is the best and prettiest on y and r
Awesome news! Melody is a very dynamic actress; they should consider themselves lucky to get her!
What fantastic casting! Melody is a top notch actress, who I’m sure will brighten up the series.
ok-
When I look at Melody I see Nikki of Y&R who has a middle aged son Nick and a daughter Victoria, both have grown children and one married, and that makes Nikki a grandmother of adults..
And if either Noha or Summer have a baby, and both could, then Nikki will be a great grandmother.. As a matter of fact that could happen any day..
Now I see Nikki playing the role of a mother of a son the same age or younger than her married granddaughter Summer who could make her a ‘great grandmother, Y&R..
That is too weird! but that’s show business LOL ..
Nick is not middle aged.
Well, Sharon in real life is 43, and Nick I have no idea, but probably close.
Nick is is 40 in real life Sharon is older
Wasn’t Cassie a teenager when she died, around 14-15 yrs. old? How long has she been dead? She would be over 30 by now I believe. Summer was conceived as a result of Nick’s grief over losing Cassie but now we have Summer, Mariah & Noah as peers hanging out together. Summer should be much younger & Mariah much older. Nick is definitely middle aged. Think of Lauren who has a son Scotty who is a doctor! Lauren should be pushing 60 but she was wanting a baby. And Paul & Christine “starting a family” cracks me up. Gotta love our soaps.
I love Sharon and Adam together in the past and hope Sharon and Adam nu Adam get together because Chelsea needs to be with someone other then Adam
I hope this does not mean that she will be leaving Y&R? Y&R could not afford to lose her, that soap is clinging on the edge as it is, with viewers upset over the new writers, and the outrageous story lines.
You’re absolutely right. Even the new eye candy can distract ne from the awful dialogue, plodding and dangling storylines and the lack of continuity. Somebody needs to step in and do something about this. I could d wonders for this show.
Melody Thomas Scott is a very good actress in this show just like her role in young and the restless I really like her acting
That is a GREAT photo of Scott with the article.
DON’T BELIEVE ANYTHING YOU READ!
I can’t believe Melody Thomas Scott would join an awful show like this. Profanity, gay sex and terrible acting. Couldn’t get through one episode. Makes me sick!
This show and everyone on it are hot messes. The producer has sued half the cast to recover salaries because these people supposedly didn’t support the show through social media. He is suing Bryan Craig for not doing enough work and hit on everybody on the set. He had closeted actor Reese Mishler “practice” giving oral sex with him in his apartment and hotel room. BAD SHOW, BAD PEOPLE.

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.
