From playing mother and son on one soap to playing lovers on another? Tamara Braun and Lucas Adams are back on-screen together, this time trading in their Days of Our Lives dynamic for something a little steamier on The Young and the Restless.
The pair, who famously played Ava Vitali and Tripp Dalton Johnson on Days, are now taking on the roles of Sienna Bacall and Noah Newman. When their casting was first announced, fans immediately started speculating whether their characters might be connected — after all, it wouldn’t be the first time soaps pulled a full-circle moment like that. But what most people didn’t expect was that they’d be playing lovers.
Of course, this isn’t totally unheard of in soapland. Remember when Jane Elliot and Wally Kurth played lovers on Days before, then mother and son (Tracy and Ned) on General Hospital? History repeats itself — just with new lighting and a fresh set.
How Are Noah and Sienna Connected on Young and the Restless?
In the Y&R episode airing November 6 in the U.S. (and November 5 in Canada), Noah’s connection to Sienna finally comes to light through some black-and-white flashbacks. As Nick and Sharon talk to their son about his accident, Noah recalls sharing a steamy kiss with Mitch’s (aka Matt’s) wife, Sienna. So… could that have something to do with his mysterious accident?
Fans, of course, had thoughts. On Reddit, one viewer wrote, “The first thing I said was ‘eww’ out loud lol. Although it’s not the first time actors who’ve played mother and son on one soap ended up as lovers on another. Wally Kurth and Jane Elliot did the same thing!”
Another chimed in, “Lmao! Acting is so fun/funny. Looks like they have chemistry, though!”
And one more said, “When I saw it, my first reaction was, ‘OMG, that’s just so weird!’ I know it’s just acting, but still…”
Meanwhile, over on X (formerly Twitter), reactions were just as mixed. One fan wrote, “Ew, these two have played mother and son for years on Days. I refuse to watch them as secret lovers now. This is Jane Elliot and Wally Kurth all over again.”
Another added, “They played mom and son on #Days so this is going to be super weird for me. #YR But I do like Noah being involved with an older woman!”
And another one said, “My #Days eyes are grossed out.”
So, what do you think, fans? Weird or wonderful?
