Tamara Braun’s Young and the Restless Debut Gets an Airdate
Braun will make a bang in Genoa City as Sienna Bacall this fallThings are moving along for Tamara Braun’s Young and the Restless debut!
In August, PEOPLE exclusively announced that the soap opera legend, 54, was joining The Young and the Restless. Now, new details surrounding the air date have been released.
Braun will make her first appearance on a CBS soap when she steps into the role of Sienna Bacall on Oct. 14, Soap Opera Digest reported Thursday, Sept. 25, citing an interview the two-time Daytime Emmy Award-winning actress did with TV Guide.
PEOPLE previously confirmed that Sienna is someone who has “personal connections to several characters” in Genoa City.
“She runs a club in Hollywood. There’s mystery there, which I think is a really cool way to introduce a character — and very fitting for a soap,” Braun told TV Guide of her latest role.
While additional details for the upcoming season of the long-running soap opera remain under wraps, Young and the Restless executive producer and head writer Josh Griffith told TV Insider earlier this month that core characters will be returning with some twists and turns.
“I’m thrilled and I couldn’t be happier,” Griffith said. “I think that this year, especially, we’ve been able to really home in on the core legacy characters and have them front and center, driving story. We’re really playing to the show’s strengths of family and power and romance and mystery.”
Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn) is among the characters returning to Genoa City this fall.
“Cane’s return has created tension, energy, concern, and action. It’s got everybody percolating, waiting to see what he’s going to do and how it’s going to impact their families and their businesses,” Griffith added.
As for Braun, she’s no stranger to soap opera drama.
The Illinois native’s credits include General Hospital, Days of Our Lives, All My Children and more.
She started her General Hospital run in 2001 as Carly Corinthos, where she remained until 2005. However, she did return for a single episode in 2014 to celebrate the television show’s 51st anniversary. (Sarah Brown played Carly before her, and Laura Wright took over the role after her.)
From 2017 to 2019, she took on the role of Dr. Kim Nero on General Hospital.
Braun also played Ava Vitali on Days of Our Lives on and off between 2008 and 2025.
Overlapping with that time, from 2008 to 2009, she played Reese Williams on All My Children.
The Young and the Restless airs weekdays on CBS (check local listings).
