Soap fans, mark your calendars! Emmy-winning actress Tamara Braun is officially heading to Genoa City this fall, and her debut promises to shake things up in a big way.

When Will Tamara Braun Debut on Y&R?

Braun will make her first appearance as Sienna Bacall on The Young and the Restless on October 14, according to Soap Opera Digest. This marks Braun’s first time joining the CBS daytime drama after decades of work across other soaps.

Who Is Sienna Bacall?

Details are still under wraps, but Braun teased that Sienna comes with mystery and plenty of connections to Genoa City’s elite. “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,” she revealed in an interview with TV Guide.

With personal ties to multiple characters already established in town, Sienna is set to stir both drama and intrigue right out of the gate.

Y&R Is Turning Up the Drama This Fall

Executive producer and head writer Josh Griffith recently teased that the coming season will focus on family, power, and romance while re-centering legacy characters. Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn) is also returning, setting the stage for fresh conflict and shifting alliances.

“Sienna’s arrival, paired with Cane’s comeback, ensures fans are in for twists, tension, and surprises,” Griffith hinted.

Tamara Braun’s Soap Legacy

Braun is no stranger to daytime drama. She’s played iconic roles across General Hospital, Days of Our Lives, and All My Children. From Carly Corinthos to Ava Vitali to Dr. Kim Nero, she’s built a reputation for bringing fiery, layered women to life.

Now, as she steps into Genoa City, fans are eager to see how Sienna Bacall fits into the Newman-Abbott power plays and whether her arrival will bring romance, betrayal, or both.
