Y&R: February 2026 Discussion Thread

I just don't understand why Noah can't have a love interest close to his own age. This show seems to do everything to avoid the "young" in the "Young and the Restless."

Noah hasn't worked as a character since the 2008 SORAS. He should have just aged normally.

Tamara Braun is too old for Lucas Adams. The chemistry isn't there. I think she should be written out.

Yes, Tamara/Siena could go. It would fit in storywise. Noah could move on, maybe a returning Allie instead?

Lucas Adams and Tamara Braun are electric together; they were, to me, the highlight of today's snorefest.

Electric as mother and son on Days? Cause I know we can’t be talking about right now..

There is no sexual chemistry between them. It’s so awkward. Sharon making them sandwiches and the family acting like this is Noah’s little girl friend from school coming over to have dinner with the family is SO CRINGE. This woman is in her 50s what on earth is she doing with this little pampered boy?

Exactly. They are TERRIBLE as a couple, and there's nothing electric about the pairing.

If only Tamara Braun was playing Grace Turner and Noah was involved in a triangle with her and her daughter.

Stupid question, but is there anywhere to watch the global broadcast? I’m not gonna lose sleep if there isn’t but the main Blog that usually had the episodes posted no longer exists now.

-- This show is maddeningly bad.

-- That Chancellor Cafe set is very nice, but it's also a complete joke. No one is sitting outside in winter conditions to have a latte.

-- I'd never hit a woman, but Claire can have such a punchable face. Newman has been devastated, right? Eaten up by AI? Yet this bimbo is wearing a riding habit and ready for dressage?

-- Audra continues to be a mess. It is insane that this character would be so worked up over Claire. They cannot make up their minds about who Audra is.

-- Today we got another invented past for Audra. Jesus.

-- Sienna is a joke. Why is she written like she's from Podunk, Arkansas? Didn't she run a bar in L.A.? She can't live in Noah's world because she doesn't know what fork to use? Who is writing this shlt?

-- Nothing Noah told Nick explained why he loves Sienna. Nothing.

-- Sharon immediately says "It's all my fault" when talking about Mariah. I hate the soap trope of characters blaming themselves when things go bad with other people -- turning themselves into the main character. That's followed by someone else declaring "It's not your fault." Save me from this mess.
