A Fresh Start for Noah Newman in Genoa City

Big news is buzzing around Genoa City! Fans of The Young and the Restless have been eagerly awaiting the return of Noah Newman, the beloved son of supercouple Nick (Joshua Morrow) and Sharon (Sharon Case). And the wait is almost over! The talented Lucas Adams, a familiar face from his Emmy-nominated work as Tripp Johnson on Days of Our Lives, is officially stepping into Noah's shoes.

Adams is set to make his grand debut as Noah Newman on November 4, 2025. While Noah has technically been back on screen, his character has been in a medically induced coma with his face wrapped in bandages following a horrific car accident. This dramatic entry is building plenty of anticipation for Adams' unbandaged reveal!

For those keeping track, Rory Gibson previously portrayed Noah from 2021-2023 and is now earning rave reviews as Michael Corinthos on General Hospital. It seems Noah Newman has a knack for launching successful soap careers!

Sharon Case and Joshua Morrow Helped Choose the New Noah Newman

Did you know that Noah's on-screen parents, Sharon Case and Joshua Morrow, actually had a hand in picking the new actor to play their son? That's right! Sharon Case revealed to Soap Opera Digest that she and Joshua did a screen test with several hopefuls for the role.

Case couldn't be more excited about the choice, saying, "Love new Noah! I did a screen test along with Joshua for some new Noahs. We picked a good one. We’ve started taping with him, [and] he’s a really good actor." She added that while they were sorry to see Rory Gibson go, they're thrilled for his success at General Hospital, noting, "He's right where he belongs. I'm glad to see that happen for him. It all ended well. We have a good new Noah, and everybody’s happy."

The casting team also took care to ensure that Adams, with his blonde hair, could believably pass as the son of brunette Sharon and blonde Nick. Case explained the rigorous process: "When there’s going to be a big audition for a main character, we have this little theater at CBS and all the top brass goes and gets in the theater and watches it... they kind of want one of the vets to do the scene with the person trying out... If it’s Sharon and Nick’s son, they want to see us paired together. You know, how do we look standing there together?" It sounds like a thorough search to find the perfect fit!
