Tamra Braun and Roger Howarth on Y&R
Reuniting Michelle Stafford and Roger Howarth is a massive deal for Y&R. They worked well together on General Hospital when she debuted as Nina Reeves. While his role on the CBS soap has yet to be revealed, he is poised to be a part of a big storyline this fall. Howarth’s mystery character has no description or hint of who he will be connected with in Genoa City; Phyllis may cross paths with him at some point.
As for Braun, she will portray Sienna Bacall. The details about her character remain scarce, but she has connections to several people in Genoa City. She begins taping in early September, which means she will likely pop up in October, just ahead of November sweeps.
Both actors will have the chance to reunite with former costars, including Hayley Erin (Claire) and Billy Flynn (Cane).
With Stafford excited about the new additions to the Y&R cast, we can’t wait to see what’s ahead for the CBS soap. The timing for their debut fits with sweeps, which means big things are happening behind the scenes!
