During a red carpet interview with Michael Fairman TV at “The 52nd Annual Daytime Emmy Awards,” two-time Emmy Award winner Tamara Braun inadvertently revealed the name of the character Roger Howarth will be portraying on “The Young and the Restless,” and since then the daytime drama series has released a new promo teasing both Braun and Howarth’s roles on the long-running drama series.

According to the actress, who made her debut earlier this month as Sienna Bacall, Howarth will be portraying her husband, Mitch Bacall. Meanwhile, the new promo notes Howarth will make his debut sometime this week.
“She’s a badass,” Tamara said to Michael Fairman TV, describing her new acting persona. “So, you take that for what you want. I love Sienna Bacall. I love her wardrobe. I love her attitude. She’s got a bit of an edge. She’s had a bit of a life. She knows how to take care of herself. I’m very, very excited to see what unfolds.”
As for working with Howarth, who previously portrayed Franco Baldwin on “General Hospital” during her time on the ABC soap where she played Kim Nero, and her former “Days of our Lives” co-star Lucas Adams (ex-Tripp Johnson), who makes his debut next month as Noah Newman on “The Young and the Restless,” Braun says, “I was hired before both of them. It was just random that everybody ended up on the same set at the same time!”
In her red carpet interview with Soap Opera Network, Braun shared that Josh Griffith, the show’s executive producer and head writer, reached out to her about joining the soap opera. The two previously worked together at “Days of our Lives” more than a decade ago, when he served as the show’s co-head writer and she appeared as Ava Vitali.
“[Josh Griffith] gave me a call and asked me, and said I have this great, cool character, I’d love for you to play. Are you available? And I was actually working on a film called ‘Drifter,’ and so my start date overlapped with when I was shooting and he was kind enough to shoot that back, or scoot that back a little bit, and so, I was all game and very excited to come on over [to ‘The Young and the Restless’],” said Braun.
