The Week of November 24, 2025

Lisa Yamada appears to be out again as Luna Nosawa. The character was declared dead last week, after being struck by a car. However, it does mark the second time that the diabolical Luna has “died”. Yamada delivered a heartfelt speech after winning the Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Emerging Talent last October.

Also on the exit front, Dan Martin wrapped up his brief visit as Detective Chief Baker. The LAPD officer led the manhunt for escaped convict Luna.

Sydney Bullock resurfaces as Dylan on Tuesday, November 25. She briefly recurred as Hayes’ summer school teacher and made her last appearance in July. She shares scenes with Laneya Grace’s Electra.

Steffy’s (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) kids will be on hand for this year’s Thanksgiving dinner. Sophia Parras McKinley returns as Kelly, and Bryan David Garlick pops in as Hayes on Wednesday,  November 26.

Jennifer Gareis and John McCook get some quality airtime as Donna and Eric Forrester. The characters are back for the November holiday. McCook, who has been a major part of the CBS soap scene for 50 years, reflected on B&B’s move to a new studio last summer.
