The Young and the Restless Casting
Tamara Braun, last seen as Ava Vitali on DAYS, is joining the GH cast as Sienna Bacall, a woman with “personal connections” to a few Genoa City citizens. Braun, who begins taping this week and airing in the fall, has an extensive daytime past. She made her debut as Carly Corinthos on GH in 2001 and returned to the soap to play Kim Nero in 2017. She was hired to portray Reese Williams on All My Children in 2008, and went on to briefly play a second character on DAYS in 2011: Nicole Walker’s younger sister, Taylor. She has won two Daytime Emmy Awards as Outstanding Supporting Actress for her role as Ava on DAYS in 2009 and Kim on GH in 2020.
Daytime alum Roger Howarth is boarding GH, too. He’s been cast in a mysterious new role and begins filming in mid-September. Like Braun, Howarth has a long storied daytime past. He made his debut as Kent Winslow on Loving in 1992, before moving on to Guiding Light as Rory. He is most noted for his portrayal of Todd Manning on One Life to Live, which he began in 1992 and played on and off through 2013. He also had a long stint as Paul Ryan on As the World Turns from 2003 to 2010, and played three different characters on GH, beginning with Todd Manning in 2012, segueing to Franco Baldwin in 2013, and later Austin Gatlin-Holt in 2021. Howarth nabbed the 1994 Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Younger Actor in 1994.
