‘General Hospital’s’ Rory Gibson Opens Up on Y&R’s Lucas Adams Being His Successor and Hopes for Audra and Noah to Have a Second Chance
On the conclusion of the December 10 episode of The Young and the Restless, Noah Newman (now played by Lucas Adams) ran into his former flame Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver) since he is back in Genoa City, marking the first time that Adams has shared a moment in his new role with Silver. The role was previously played by General Hospital’s Rory Gibson, now Michael Corinthos on the ABC soap opera.
Opening about his thoughts on Y&R recasting his previous soap role, and the unresolved relationship between Audra and Noah, Rory Gibson expressed in the latest Buzzworthy radio podcast, “I’m very happy they brought Noah back. I’ve heard nothing but incredible things about Lucas. I haven’t met him yet, but I hear he’s a great actor and a nice guy. I wish them nothing but the best, and I hope he gets a compelling story.”
Y&R fans recall that Noah dumped Audra back in England, at the time, she never got to tell him she was pregnant with his child. Eventually, Audra miscarried, which eventually Noah found out. However, currently in story, Noah is involved with Matt Clark/Mitch Bacall’s (Roger Howarth) wife, Sienna Bacall (Tamara Braun) after his seeming relationship with Allie went bust, also in London.

Gibson mentioned he wants to see what Y&R does know with Noah and Audra both back in Genoa City. “I’m curious to see what happens with Noah and Audra, revealed Gibson.” Zuleyka and I got to start that, and then it just stopped. I don’t think it got fully fleshed out while I was there.”
Rory, who has won rave reviews at the recast Michael Corinthos on GH since he debut in May of this year,, and who was also a recast as Noah on Y&R, knows all to well, the rigors and ups and downs of trying to go over with the audience when they are used to seeing another actor in the part. In the case of Gibson, he replaced Chad Duell, and the writers also made a character shift with Michael making him more willing to bend the rules, a bit more conniving and a bit less upstanding.

“It was tricky. It was a weird route to navigate,” explained Gibson. Being a recast before on Y&R, I knew there could be some resistance. You can’t replicate what someone else has done—you’re going to fail. I can’t do Michael the way Chad (Duell) did, and he did it in a great way. I had to take a risk and make the character my own.”
So, do you hope Audra and Noah’s story comes back around in a major way on The Young and the Restless. Are you enjoying Rory as GH’s latest Michael Corinthos and Lucas as Y&R’s Noah Newman? Does it seem like Noah is becoming more like his dad, Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) where he certainly jumped around to a lot of the ladies in Genoa City through the years? Comment below.
Please get rid of Audra completely!
GET RID OF HER..
I agree. She ruins the show. She needs to go please.
Yeah, right. SHE’S ruining the show but not the insipid and dull writing. If every dynamic woman of color is yanked off the show, it’ll remain a one-dimensional bore.
Audra and Noah, will not happen again. All indications script wise seem to be pointing to the character Audra being written off the show. A couple of characters have threaten her so she will might be killed off or she might go to prison for whatever she did in LA— don’t know which, yet watched soaps long enough to see all the signs of a character whose days are numbered and Audra’s number is up.
Rory does a very good job at portraying Michael Corinthos. Y&R didn’t utilize his abilities, like so many of the actors on Y&R. It’s all in the writing, and on Y&R, there’s very little thought put into that aspect of the show.
I do hope they explore Audra and Noah more.
I don’t want them together and I don’t want Audra of the show . I’m sure you can figure something out
I like Audra..
She’s a force and interesting to watch.
I do want her to get a husband on the show…
Whether it’s Noah or Cane?
I did like Tucker alot when he was on the show.
But I also like Phyllis and Cane.
And Im rooting for the Abbots.
Also I prefer Summer back with Kyle….
Rory was a great Noah – unfortunately the Y and R writing for him went nowhere…
Glad that the legacy character of Noah has returned to GC
Will be interesting to see if they can triangulate the Sienna and Audra potential with Noah, but it looks that one of the two females will end up dying eventually with the inevitable GC arrival of Matt and with Holden and probably Claire being in the mix
Where is Victoria btw???
I’m tired of all of this anticipated suspense that results in minimal impact.
And Phyllis is simply annoying beyond.
I wish they never killed off Heather, and we need the younger generation/offspring to finally take charge rather than showing episodes of 20 year ago weddings that don’t make sense with Fenn being in his 30s, and especially so shortly after a second marriage of Cricket and Danny double episode.
All is a snooze fest!!!
I agree what was the point,they’re not even serious characters on the Show right now. The only thing that made them interesting back in the day was Phyllis meddling and now they’re in their 60’s and still fighting the same battles. That’s senseless to the viewers.
They’re not in their 60s damn
It would not be the same if the young kids took over..
I like how they’re all in there…
Young and old..
Like real families.
And poor Mariah – why was that non-storyline even created?
Y&R needs some new writers. It doesn’t need new faces. The storylines aren’t even making sense.
Agree with doesn’t need new faces.
Rory Gibson is a phenomenal actor!!! I absolutely loved ❤️ him on The Young and the Restless!!!
I’m thinking Audra gets shot or an (attempted) murder/ who dunnit?
Holden, Kyle, Nathan, Claire, her bar drunk victim, even Lili.
There are soooo many possible culprits. My hope is someone is successful at killing that gold digging bitch that makes intelligent, successful, driven business women look bad.
Whoa!!.
I personally like her character..
And obviously plays it well or you wouldn’t be so stressed out over it.
But like Phyllis, she also needs a chance at being redeemed…
Lily is also not a saint on the show.
She betrayed Billie and was backstabbing him instead of helping him..
She wanted Chancellor.
Im not a fan of Claire’s character…
Upset with Kyle over trust issues,
Yet she slept with Holden.
Audra is a narcissist, oh poor me, I don’t have a rich family to turn to, and on and on hearing her pathetic story over and over…. something is going to come full circle when Sienna shows up in Audra s face, she has no clue Sienna is in Genoa. Clair, Sienna, Audra…at Society maybe, not planned… something is going to go down?
Does anyone find it hard to watch Tamara and Lucas play a couple when the use to play mother and son on Days of our lives???
Nope; different soap, different characters.
I love Audra! Yeah, she is a b!tch, but she is meant to be! She harkens back to the brazen, ballsy broads who helped make the show, like Jill, Phyllis, etc. And the actress clearly relishes playing the role. I wish they would give her some anchors and ties to the core of the show. Same with Sally. I always thought Sally should be Tucker McCall’s daughter, and still could be. Sally and Audra are both blank slates, ripe with story and family possibilities!
Truthfully, I never liked Rory Gibson in the role of Noah, and seeing him as Michael, I now know why: Josh Griffith did not write for the character. Gibson’s arrival as Noah was merely a way of filling in the void left by Michael Mealor’s exit as Kyle Abbott, and once Mealor agreed to return, it was adios to Gibson in the role.
I will say: Lucas Adams’ casting as Noah has been wonderful. He fits naturally into the role, and I hope that Griffith does not screw the pooch with this one; Days of Our Lives never used him in the way they should have, but it seems like he is a natural fit as Noah and has chemistry with everyone within the Newman family. Cannot wait to see what else is to come.

Vincent Pastore of ‘Sopranos’ Fame and ‘General Hospital’s’ Maximus Giambetti Dies at 80
Vincent Pastore, best known for his memorable role as Salvatore “Big Pussy” Bonpensiero on HBO’s The Sopranos has passed away.
The veteran actor was found dead on August 1st in his home in the Bronx, New York. Pastore was 80-years-old. The cause of death is yet to be determined.
As well as his role on The Sopranos, many soap fans will recall he played multiple smaller roles on the beloved One Life to Live from 1995 and 2004. However, in 2008, he landed the short-term role as Maximus Giambetti on General Hospital.
PASTORE WANTED TO BE ON GENERAL HOSPITAL
Maximus was the mobster father of Sonny Corinthos’ (Maurice Benard) bodyguards: Max (Derk Cheetwood) and Milo (Drew Cheetwood)
According to Soap Opera Digest, Pastore told Soaps In Depth back in 2009, after appearing in a SOAPnet promotional campaign as a celebrity fan of General Hospital: “‘I’d love to be on the show. So they called up GH’s casting director (Mark Teschner) and Bobby (Robert Guza Jr. ex-head writer, GH) and they wrote me in!”
Pastore was a huge General Hospital fan from way back, who at one point told producers that he would watch the ABC soap opera while working in bars and nightclubs in the 70s and 80s.
Throughout his decades long career, Pastore appeared in films including: Goodfellas, Carlito’s Way and Men of Respect, The Jerky Boys: The Movie and the 1996 HBO TV movie Gotti.
In TV, besides The Sopranos, Pastore’s credits included: Law & Order, The Practice, Son of the Beach, Queens Supreme, Hawaii Five-0, Wu-Tang: An American Saga, plus the miniseries The Last Don II. Most recently, Vincent was a series regular on Gravesend and guest starred on Yellowjackets.
Pastore is survived by his daughter, Renee, son-in-law and granddaughter.
