Tamara Braun Reveals the Secret Young and the Restless Clue We’ve Been Missing All This Time
In the September 29 issue of TV Guide, Emmy-winning soap vet Tamara Braun teased what fans can expect when she makes her The Young and the Restless debut next month. The actress confirmed that her first episode as Sienna Bacall will air on October 14, marking Braun’s first role on a CBS daytime drama.
Sienna’s World Unveiled
While Braun stayed tight-lipped about the finer details, she revealed that Sienna will run a Hollywood nightclub — and it won’t be just any glamorous hotspot.
“There’s mystery there,” Braun shared. “Which I think is a really cool way to introduce a character — and very fitting for a soap.” The intrigue immediately sets the stage for Sienna to be at the center of Y&R’s upcoming noir storyline.
From Daytime Vet to Genoa City Newcomer
Braun’s casting adds another layer of star power to Genoa City. She’s no stranger to daytime fans, having portrayed multiple roles across General Hospital and Days of our Lives, winning two Daytime Emmys along the way. But this marks her first foray into CBS soaps, making the reveal of Sienna’s world even more intriguing.
Adding to the excitement is the fact that Braun will once again be working with Lucas Adams, who joins Y&R as the new Noah Newman. The pair famously played mother and son — Ava and Tripp — on DOOL. Now, their reunion comes with a twist as Noah becomes entangled in a dangerous new mystery linked to Sienna’s club.
The Bigger Picture
Executive Producer/Head Writer Josh Griffith recently revealed that Braun, Adams, Roger Howarth, and Matt Cohen will anchor a “major L.A. noir story” that draws Nick (Joshua Morrow) and Sharon (Sharon Case) into a fight to save Noah from peril. With Sienna’s Hollywood club at the center of the action, Braun’s character is set to become a pivotal player from the moment she steps onscreen.
Fans already buzzing about Braun’s arrival now have just weeks to speculate on how Sienna, Noah, and the new mystery will collide — and what secrets might be lurking inside her glamorous nightclub.
