The Young and the Restless is writing Noah Newman and Sienna Bacall out of Genoa City less than a year after the arrivals of Lucas Adams and Tamara Braun.
On the August 3 episode, Noah told Sharon (Sharon Case) and Mariah (Camryn Grimes) that he and Sienna were leaving for Los Angeles to get away from Sienna's ex, Matt Clark (Roger Howarth).
Although the move was presented as temporary, the show's weekly preview hinted at a longer absence. Before leaving, Noah names Danny Romalotti (Michael Damian) to oversee his nightclub, The Shadow Room.
Adams debuted as Noah on November 4, 2025, becoming the latest actor to play the son of Nick (Joshua Morrow) and Sharon. He previously portrayed Tripp Johnson on Days of Our Lives. Braun, who played Tripp's mother, Ava Vitali, on Days, joined Y&R as Sienna on October 14, 2025. Adams was on contract, while Braun appeared in a recurring role.
The exit was written under outgoing head writer Josh Griffith. Whether Noah and Sienna return to Genoa City will likely be decided by the show's new co-head writers, Jamey Giddens and Dan O'Connor, who officially take over the writing reins this week.
