Young and the Restless Opinion Article
Article written by Barbara 2/8/26
Here is what I liked and disliked about Y&R for the week of 2/2/2026 (just my humble opinions, no particular order, just random musings)
Rants: 
Noah and Sienna – My opinion about these two has changed. My first impression has evolved because of seeing more of them together. I’m just not picking up any chemistry there. Older woman/younger man, fine, but in this case, Sienna is not only old enough to be Noah’s mother, the actress who plays her is actually the same age as Sharon Case, who plays Noah’s on-screen mother! It’s probably a combination of wardrobe, make-up and hair style, but IMHO, Sienna looks like a washed out, tired, old lady. And with the way she speaks, and her mannerisms, she comes off as having no class. I don’t know if it’s intentional, to try to contrast her and make a case for opposites attract, since Noah is wealthy and highly educated, but either way, I don’t care for this pairing.
Also, why did Noah introduce Sienna to Devon as a “good friend”?! Noah is in love with her! He’s planning to uproot himself from Genoa City and move to LA to be with her, FFS. Why didn’t he introduce her as his girlfriend?! 
Raves: 
I really liked how Nick spoke to Noah about his relationship with Sienna and laid out his legitimate (IMHO) concerns about it. Great dialogue.
Michael and Lauren – love these two! Michael never ceases to put a smile on my face. 
I love the dress Phyllis wore on the 2/5/2026 episode!
What was shown this week in the storyline of Mariah kidnapping Dominic, who she reverted to calling Bowie, was pretty good. I liked Mariah’s monologue while she was talking to a sleeping Dominic, it was well done. In addition, the make-up and hair styling departments have done an appropriate 180 and now Abby looks just as would be expected for a devastated, distraught and desperate mother of a kidnapped little child – pale, dark circles under her eyes from crying and lack of sleep, and her hair is combed straight and plain.
The expressions of annoyance, dismay and what appeared to be confusion on Audra’s face while seated on the patio at Crimson Lights eavesdropping on Holden’s and Claire’s conversation about going to LA together – priceless!
