BREAKING NEWS! Tamara Braun reveals why she joined Y&R. You’ll be surprised to know her main purpose is… too dangerous

tamara Braun has made her official The Young and the Restless debut as Sienna Bacall. The former General Hospital and Days of our Lives star is excited for her new role, and being part of Y&R is extra special to the actress for this reason.

Key Takeaways

• Tamara Braun made her debut as Sienna on the October 14 episode of Y&R.
• The actress previously played Carly on GH and Ava on DAYS.
• The actress is a Chicago native.
• Y&R takes place in the Midwest, close to the star’s hometown.

Midwest Native

Braun’s previous soap roles took her to GH’s Port Charles and DAYS’ Salem. Now, she’s part of Genoa City with her new job on Y&R. While her character Sienna is based in Hollywood, she has connections to Genoa City, which will unravel in a mystery storyline.

Braun’s new role has generated lots of excitement, and nobody is more thrilled than the actress herself. In an interview on the Y&R Insider YouTube channel, the star discusses the best part of being on Y&R.

“It’s super cool to be part of a show that began its roots…has its roots in Chicago,” Braun explained. Chicago is the star’s hometown and where she found her “passion” for acting. “There are so many talented people that come out of Chicago. You know Chicago, it’s a big city, but it’s so Midwest. It’s still kind of got those Midwest values, which people talk about; family, loving your neighbor, and community.”

The actress then discussed how the show’s creators, William J. Bell and Lee Phillip Bell, got their starts in Chicago. “The Bells were creating something from that base and that dream then brought them here. And look at what they’ve created for all these years. So, to be part of that and to know that I, too, am from Chicago, it feels like a real gift.”

Sienna Stirs Up Trouble

Braun is going to be front and center as Sienna becomes involved in a big mystery storyline. The Hollywood nightclub owner already knows Holden (Nathan Owens) and Audra (Zuleyka Silver), and could expose their past.

But Holden and Audra aren’t the only ones Sienna is connected to. She might have something to do with Noah’s (Lucas Adams) accident. After Nick (Joshua Morrow) discovers her number in Noah’s phone, he’s anxious to talk with Miss Bacall.

Sienna’s definitely keeping secrets, ones that involve several key characters. Whatever Sienna is hiding, it already has fans hooked as they watch this L.A. mystery unravel.
