Tricky Matters of the Heart
In an interview with Soap Opera Digest, Braun broke down Sienna’s feelings for Noah (Lucas Adams), with whom she had an affair. She claimed their hookup was something that came out of the blue.
“I think it was a thing that happened. Noah and Sienna really liked each other; he pursued her … I think she didn’t go looking for it, but there it was, and it felt good,” Braun explained.
This felt new to Sienna, someone who Braun claimed was “love-bombed” by Mitch. For much of their marriage, she felt ignored. He was more focused on his nightclub and illicit drug deals.
The little attention that Sienna got from Mitch, the more attention she got from Noah. Braun looked at her alter-ego’s affair, and could tell that she had caught feelings. “When you fall in love with somebody, the heart just goes where the heart goes,” she explained.
