Holden confronts his past while in Los Angeles with Claire. On the latest episode of The Young and the Restless, he bumped into Sienna, who knows what went down with Holden and Audra. In the meantime, Nathan Owens is still learning a great deal about his on-screen persona.
Key Takeaways
- Nathan Owens teased Holden’s dark past and drama involving Sienna.
- He’s been trying to keep it under wraps since he’s been rebuilding his life in Genoa City.
- Owens enjoys learning about his portrayer, which he declared is “a mystery for all of us.”
- Y&R viewers will continue to learn more about Holden as his dark past comes back to haunt him.
Who Is Holden Novak?
In an interview with Soap Opera Digest, Owens admitted that he’s still getting to know his character, including his tricky backstory. Holden shares a past with Audra (Zuleyka Silver) and Sienna Bacall (Tamara Braun), who made her debut on the Tuesday, October 14 episode.
Owens is on the same ride as the viewers. He’s loving the journey. Owens even offered his own input on the character. “I’ve written some other things on my own as well, from the beginning, but it’s interesting to see how it all unfolds in the minds of the writers as well,” he noted.
In January, Holden was initially introduced as Damian Kane. But it turns out that he was pretending to be him. So far, Y&R viewers know that he’s been associated with Audra when they both lived in Los Angeles.
Most of his past will come back to haunt him as time goes along. It’s “a mystery for all of us,” including Owens himself. He’s enjoying seeing the pieces fit together.
It’s as if he’s pulling back the layers of an onion, albeit a very complex one. Some Y&R fans think they got Holden down, but there’s more to him than a good-looking guy who ended up on the wrong tracks.
What Does Sienna Know?
Sienna’s interaction with Holden brought up more questions about his past. (What dirt does Sienna have on Holden on Y&R?)
Not only does he share history with Sienna, but that history also ties into his past with Audra, which he has been desperate to escape. But that’s bound to catch up with him at some point.
In the interview, Owens was unable to disclose what happened in LA during that time. However, his on-screen persona worries that his secret could come to light.
Holden knows how ruthless Audra can be. Plus, he wants to keep Claire as far away from his past as possible. What could happen if that trouble catches up to him in Genoa City?
Owens teased that “a lot of doors potentially would close for him if that is exposed.” Holden has just been given the opportunity to work with Cane (Billy Flynn), which could easily slip away. Cane has no problem with changing his mind, as we’ve seen before.
