Tamara Braun, Ava Vitali, Days of our Lives

Veteran soap actress Tamara Braun (“Days of our Lives,” “General Hospital”) is joining the cast of “The Young and the Restless” in the newly created role of Sienna Bacall, who has “personal connections to several characters” in Genoa City.

According to PEOPLE, which first reported the news, Braun, a two-time Emmy winner, will begin taping next week at the long-running drama’s Television City studio in Hollywood. She is set to make her first appearance on screen sometime later this fall.

Making her soap opera debut as a recast Carly Corinthos on “General Hospital” in 2001, Braun exited Port Charles in 2005, one year after receiving her first-ever Emmy nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her portrayal. After several guest roles on shows like “House,” “Cold Case,” “Ghost Whisperer,” “Without a Trace” and “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation,” Braun returned to daytime in 2008 first on “Days of our Lives” playing Ava Vitali, a character that netted Braun her first-ever Emmy award win in 2009, this time for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series, and later playing the newly created contract role of Reese Williams on “All My Children.”

After a short break from daytime, which saw her exiting Pine Valley in 2009, Braun returned to “Days of our Lives” in 2011, this time taking on the role of Taylor Walker, the younger sister of Nicole Walker. Braun left the soap the same year, only to return as Ava Vitali in 2015. By 2017, Braun had returned to “General Hospital,” this time playing Dr. Kim Nero, whose characteristics were completely different from her prior character, Carly Corinthos.

Braun won her second-ever Emmy award for Outstanding Supporting Performance in a Daytime Drama Series: Actress in 2020 for her role as Kim on “General Hospital.” Also in 2020, Braun returned to “Days of our Lives” as Ava Vitali, a role she continued to play until earlier this year. She received two additional Emmy nominations for her portrayal, one in 2021 for Outstanding Supporting Performance in a Daytime Drama Series: Actress and again in 2024 for Outstanding Lead Performance in a Daytime Drama Series: Actress.

 This is overdue.

Honestly, I would have had her cast as Victoria Newman in 2005, or even Tara Locke (who I suspect this could be) in 2021. But I am happy to see Ms Braun continue to be employed in American daytime.

She's a great addition for Y&R, but I hope it isn't just for her to talk business in every damn scene. She needs to be a homewrecker. lol Jack and Diane? Michael and Lauren?

    • Some of those 1988-ish episodes are up. I'm not really sure she did much else. I think I recall something along the lines of she and Rusty had been suspended over the investigation of Nicky, George's supplier. I'm not sure she even gets some kind of goodbye. I think she just disappeared when Pam Long returned.
    • I did not care, just clarifying that was the discussion point. If there are ice cream bars in Statesville I am sure there is a full spa
    • Seeing Peter Bergman (Jack) and Melody Thomas Scott (Nikki) act opposite each other really makes me mad that their short-lived reunion in 2012 was just that... short-lived. I've always loved the Jack/Nikki pairing.
    • No.  I recall there was also a mention about how distracting it was EOB's Gwen wasn't wearing nail polish as well.  That it was someone's pet peeve. And, yes, the fact characters can have a manicure in prison is the wildest continuity issue here.
    • Can anyone remember Mary Ellen Stuart's run as Jenny? I'm trying to fill in the cracks for missing stuff that we overlooked.  Bulletpoints:  * Dated Ross * Rusty's police partner * Directly responsible for Dinah coming forward about George Stewart (Cam's father)
    • But that's not weird... nail polish is allowed in prisons via commissary. Same with general makeup, haircuts, and hair colouring products.
    • This is DAYS, the show that said you could brainwash anyone with simple kitchen appliances.  An actor's nail polish or lack thereof should be the least of our concerns, lol.
    • It was not that she wasn't wearing nail polish, it is that she managed to get a manicure in prison
    • "We're Knot Done Yet": the name of this lovely podcast AND what JVA tells her plastic surgeon at every appointment. In other news, Michele Lee is reminding me more and more of my old music teacher from elementary school, and I couldn't STAND that bitch.
    • I apologize if this has been covered already, but does anyone know whether Douglas Marland was HW'ing by that point?  If he was, then I see what he meant when he said (in so many words) that he had inherited a mess when he started at GH.  Aside from Alan and Monica, none of that material seems very promising.  The story with Mark Dante and the Corbins is the wrong kind of predictable (y'know, the kind where you know what's going to happen, but you just don't give a crap?), the stuff with Scotty and Laura is cute but toothless, I don't know WHAT the hell Gina and Steve Carlson's character are arguing about and Rick Webber has to be the dumbest man alive not to see David Hamilton twirling his invisible moustache over how to make a killing off Lamont Corbin's declining health.  (By the way, "LAMONT CORBIN"?  What is this, "The Shadow"?  And "Corbin Limited" sounds like some jive I'd hear over on Y&R.) In a way, it's kind of like watching today's GH, right down to the dialogue that's serviceable and pushes plot along but says nothing about the characters' inner lives.
