Y&R Exclusive: Noah Reconnects With Audra — Is Sienna About to Be Blindsided? 😱
The Young and the Restless’ Sienna and Noah have declared their love and are envisioning a bright future together. But you know what tends to happen to even the best-laid plans, right? They go awry.
And in this couple’s case, the catalyst for a zag when they expect a zig could well turn out to be Audra, with whom her old flame shares a warm moment in Wednesday’s episode. Is Sienna worried that “forever” could end up being “for now”?
“She has seen a life that isn’t easy,” portrayer Tamara Braun reminds. “It isn’t rosy and just fairy tales and magic, you know? So as much as she wants to feel safe — and I believe she’s never felt safer with somebody than Noah — there is that tiny little thought in the back of her head that says, ‘Oh, I can’t feel too safe. I always still have to take care of myself.’
“She’s accepting [that this relationship is real] as much as she’s able to,” she continues, “but a part of her doesn’t want to trust in it, because she’s wondering when does the rug get pulled out from under her.”
Such concerns could cause even the strongest of hearts to unleash their self-saboteurs. But the Emmy winner doesn’t see that as her character’s m.o. “When she first came to Genoa City and wanted to leave, it wasn’t that she was sabotaging herself,” she says. “People could look at it that way, but she was trying to protect Noah [from her murderous husband Matt] and get his family out of a situation which she feels responsible for.”
Braun is as aware as viewers that Sienna is hardly to blame for Matt’s actions. But “she believes that if she hadn’t been involved with him and then connected with Noah, he wouldn’t be going after the Newmans.
“Even though that’s not true,” she hastens to add, “because he’s been going after them his entire life. She’s just the kind of person who feels a great sense of responsibility and therefore guilt that this is happening.”
