Tamara Braun’s The Young and the Restless debut as Sienna Bacall proves she’s still got it — mystery, fire, and an easy A in our soap grade.
On October 14, 2025, Tamara Braun made her big return to soaps — this time joining The Young and the Restless as a brand-new character named Sienna Bacall. And from the little we’ve seen so far, it’s pretty clear there’s more to this woman than meets the eye. What can we say for sure? Sienna’s a take-no-bull kind of gal who runs a nightclub in L.A. and probably doesn’t have time for anyone’s drama… unless it benefits her, of course.
Tamara Braun’s First Scenes
In her first scenes, Braun shared the screen with Nathan Owens (Holden Novak) and Hayley Erin (Claire Newman). Right away, we learned that Sienna and Holden already have some history. The official story is that he used to stop by her club back when he lived in L.A. — but come on, this is a soap opera. When has anything ever been just that simple?
The next time we saw her, Sienna called Noah’s (Lucas Adams) phone, only for Nick (Joshua Morrow) to pick up. She said she was a “friend” of Noah’s, but the second Nick started to push for details, she hung up and went radio silent. Classic soap move: give a little, disappear a lot.
Fast forward to this week, and Sienna’s back again, this time having a tense little back-and-forth with Holden before Nick strolls in. Nick, being Nick, once he realizes who she is, tries to get some answers out of her, but Sienna holds her own and keeps her cool. You can tell she’s not showing all her cards just yet.
The Soap Grade
Now, let’s talk about Tamara Braun herself. The woman just fits in, plain and simple. She’s got that spark, that bite, that effortless mystery that makes you lean in a little closer every time she’s on screen. You can feel there’s something big bubbling under the surface, and Braun sells it like a pro. Whatever Sienna’s hiding, we’re here for it! And having Braun, a two-time Daytime Emmy award-winner in the role, is a big asset.
Soap grade? That’s an easy A from Movie News.
