Y&R SPOILERS: WHO IS SIENNA BACALL AND WHY IS SHE HIDING THE TRUTH ABOUT NOAH NEWMAN?

TL;DR: While Noah Newman fights for his life in a medically induced coma after being deliberately run off a Los Angeles road, mysterious club owner Sienna Bacall keeps calling his phone claiming she’s “just a friend”—but her rattled behavior and refusal to answer Nick Newman’s calls suggest she knows far more about the hit-and-run than she’s willing to admit.

While Nick and Sharon Newman are living every parent’s worst nightmare—watching their son Noah fight for his life in that medically induced coma—a mysterious woman keeps calling his phone.

And her behavior? Sketchy doesn’t even BEGIN to cover it.

Let me tell you about Sienna Bacall, folks, because this lady has my radar going OFF.

The Phone Calls That Don’t Add Up

Here’s what we know so far, and trust me, NONE of it sits right. Noah’s phone has been ringing constantly with calls from “Sienna Bacall.” When someone finally answers at the hospital, she feeds them this line about being “just a friend” who hopes he’s okay.

Just a friend.

Then she hangs up faster than you can say “cover-up.”

If you’re genuinely concerned about someone fighting for their life, wouldn’t you want more information? Wouldn’t you ask about his condition? Want to speak to his family? You know, like an actual friend would do?

But that’s not even the most suspicious part! When protective papa bear Nick tries calling her back (because of course he’s going to follow up on EVERY lead when his son’s life is on the line), Sienna straight-up ignores it. The call goes unanswered while she’s back at her club looking absolutely RATTLED.

That’s not how innocent people act, Y&R fans!

Who Is Sienna Bacall?

Sienna Bacall (played by daytime veteran Tamara Braun) owns Vespers, an upscale Hollywood club that’s already becoming ground zero for all kinds of shady activity. She made her debut earlier this week when Holden Novak brought Claire Newman to the establishment and introduced her as a “really good friend.”

Sienna’s response? Immediate shade with a side of crucial information. She remarked, “Well, anyone is better than that last woman you were hanging around with. What was her name again? Audra Charles.”

BOOM. There it is—the first on-air confirmation that Sienna knows both Holden AND Audra. And given Noah’s painful history with Audra (she absolutely broke his heart before he left for London), this connection is EVERYTHING.

This woman isn’t just some random club owner. She’s connected to the web of people who all have ties to Noah, Audra, and Holden. The question is: how deep does her involvement go?

Kyle Stumbles Into Something Dangerous

Now here’s where things get REALLY interesting. Next week’s teasers are promising “sparks and sabotage” (and we all know what THAT means in soap speak—nothing good!). Kyle Abbott—who’s in LA playing stalker because he can’t take a hint from Claire—is about to stumble into something WAY bigger than his relationship drama.

Preview videos show Claire confronting Kyle as he’s actively spying on what’s described as an “intense conversation” between Holden and Sienna at her club.

Let me connect those dots for you. Holden and Claire show up in LA for a trip. Noah gets deliberately run off the road in what Detective Burrow just confirmed was NO accident. Sienna’s calling Noah’s phone acting suspicious. Now Holden and Sienna are having secret meetings intense enough to catch Kyle’s attention?

Yeah, something is DEFINITELY going down at Vespers.

What Does Sienna Know About the Hit-and-Run?

The timing of everything is just too convenient to ignore. Noah is establishing his nightlife business in Los Angeles—the same city where Sienna owns her club. He has a history with Audra, who also has a history with Holden, who clearly has some kind of established relationship with Sienna.

Given Noah’s background in the nightlife industry (he found success running clubs in London after leaving Genoa City), it’s entirely possible he crossed paths with Sienna professionally. Maybe he discovered something he wasn’t supposed to know. Maybe he saw something at her club that someone wanted kept quiet.

The fact that she’s calling his phone NOW—after he’s been deliberately targeted—suggests she either knows who did this or is involved herself. Her “just a friend” story? Total cover. Her refusal to talk to Nick? Classic guilt behavior. Her rattled appearance back at the club? Someone who’s in over their head.

Could Detective Burrow Be Compromised?

Here’s another wrinkle that should have everyone worried. Detective Burrow (Matt Cohen) is the lead investigator on Noah’s case, and he just confirmed to Nick and Sharon that their son was intentionally run off the road. But spoilers for next week reveal something VERY concerning: Detective Burrow will have a “weird phone call” with Sienna Bacall.

Why would the lead detective investigating an attempted murder be having clandestine phone conversations with a person of interest who’s already acting suspicious?

Actor Matt Cohen described his character as “good, he’s bad, he’s everything in between”—which sounds an awful lot like a dirty cop to me! If Detective Burrow is already connected to Sienna, then the official police investigation is compromised from the start. That would mean Nick’s about to go full vigilante mode to get justice for his son (and we all know Nick Newman doesn’t play around when his kids are threatened).

What’s Next for the LA Mystery?

This “L.A. Noir” storyline is shaping up to be one of the most complex mysteries Y&R has done in years. We’ve got three separate investigative tracks running simultaneously:

The Official Investigation: Detective Burrow is working the case, but his connection to Sienna raises major red flags about whether he can be trusted.

Nick’s Personal Investigation: A grief-stricken and determined father who’s been described as someone who “goes rogue” when his children are threatened. Nick’s already confirmed to start “searching for answers” and being “on the hunt” next week.

Kyle’s Accidental Investigation: An obsessive ex-boyfriend who’s about to witness secret meetings and intense conversations he was never meant to see.

Could this mean Sienna is the one who orchestrated the hit on Noah? Don’t be surprised if she’s either directly involved or knows exactly who is. Her club provides the perfect cover for illicit activities, and her connections to both Holden and Audra place her right at the center of whatever dangerous secret got Noah targeted.

Given Noah’s history with Audra, this likely leads to the revelation that he discovered something about Audra and Holden’s past—something serious enough that someone wanted him silenced permanently.

And then there’s the “mysterious stranger” (Roger Howarth) who just showed up at the hospital where Nick and Sharon are keeping vigil. Given Howarth’s extensive history playing morally complex characters (hello, Todd Manning and Franco Baldwin!), this guy could be the mastermind behind everything—or possibly a private investigator working for someone we haven’t even considered yet.

The Bottom Line

Sienna Bacall is hiding something BIG about Noah Newman’s hit-and-run, and her suspicious behavior is only making her look more guilty. Between her evasive phone calls, her refusal to speak with Nick, her visible panic at the club, and her upcoming secret conversation with Detective Burrow, this mysterious club owner is absolutely at the center of whatever conspiracy put Noah in that coma.

The “just a friend” story? Nobody’s buying it. Not Nick and Sharon. Not Kyle (who’s about to spy on her tense meeting with Holden). And definitely not Y&R fans who can smell a cover-up from a mile away.

Something tells me Sienna Bacall is about to become the most dangerous woman in Los Angeles—and Nick Newman is coming for answers whether she wants to give them or not!
