Robert Adamson Shares Heartfelt Message As He Exits The Young and the Restless!
Y&R will be without its Noah Newman, now that Robert Adamson is being written-off the canvas.
Adamson, who has played Nick (Joshua Morrow) and Sharon’s (Sharon Case) son since 2012, and was put on recurring status with the show, found his character being written into a no-win situation. Noah lost his girlfriend, Tessa (Cait Fairbanks) to his half-sister, Mariah (Camyrn Grimes), and the Underground where he worked had burned to a crisp. All of this was certainly part of the reason the young man was making a life-changing decision to leave Genoa City. On Friday’s episode, Noah announced he was going to work for Newman Enterprises Mumbai offices, half-way around the world.
On Friday on Instagram, Adamson shared a special message to his fans: “I want to say thank you for all the support I’ve received for over more than 5 years portraying Noah Newman. The cast and crew truly became my family. While I don’t believe this is officially goodbye, Noah will not be back to Genoa City in the near future. I will personally be back anytime they wish, schedule permitting. That said, as the great @russellhornsby once told me, “The Job Always Ends”. I’ve always tried to live by that Mantra and to see every end as a new beginning. Actors start fresh every time. It’s one of the great blessings of my job. Hope to be back as Noah one day, but looking forward to inhabiting new and exciting characters in the future!”
So, what do you think about Noah Newman exiting the canvas, and Robert Adamson leaving Y&R? Comment below.
He had chemistry with all his family never have understood why they can’t write for the next generation of the newmans?
When you’re right, you’re right, Kay….The younger generation of Newmans does need to be upheld…..fresh storylines, instead of the stale, same old, same old, Abbott vs Newman and vice versa. The only difference here is Ashley’s crazy turnabout because she’s mad at Jackie for not getting her way, albeit Victor has an agenda, who is well aware of Ashley’s agenda to take over Newman’s—-then there arevtwo more co-conspirators; Victoria and Jack…..will they never learn? LOL.
It seems they are still in the playpen.
The next ‘happening’ will be the sorasing of Faith….big leap. Will she be young enough for Charlie or old enough for whatever new male character who’s in the works?
Who’s next? Connor? Christian?
This is an excellent point. Victor and Nikki, Jack and Ashley, who steps up?
Victor: Nick is too much of a pansy! Noah, he is yet too young and weak. Adam would have been awesome, especially the devilish great Michael Muhney!
Nikki: Victoria is horrible! Sharon is and would be great as the next generation Nikki!
Jack: Only Kyle and the jury is out since they are recasting the role.
Ashley: Only Abby. I love Melissa as Abby. She, like her mother just cannot find love!
*Whomever plays the next Noah or Kyle has to be older. I dont care about their historical age, if you are looking for the next big thing, they have to be in their thirties.
Celia, I’m sad about this handsome and competent actor being let go. It’s a crime that ABSOLUTELY NO ONE could come up with a decent story for Nick and Sharon’s son. Shameful. And LOL about SORASing Christian and Conner. Maybe they should really go crazy and cast them as now OLDER than Nick & Chelsea. Then, the boys could adopt the parents…they couldn’t be any more childish!
@Soaphoun.
Hello, my friend,
I liked Noah a lot…loved his quiet demeanor, the easiness of his personality….just a nice guy.
And, it is a shame TPTB could not find the right “niche” for him.
As I expressed to Timmm, I think that Robert was not right for this role from the onset…..
Yeah, the children will be the adults….as I said, Charlie and Maddie are the adults….their parents certainly aren’t, with their kissy-poos and running about town, chasing down Hillary or leisurely sipping afternoon tea…
So unrealistic, Soaphound; only on soaps….
I can see all the sorased kids taking over Genoa City. LOL.
..or next generation of abbotts…or chancellors..or winters?!
the show is titled the ‘ young’ and the restless. yet theres certainly nothing young about the show. supposed young characters like lily, abby devon, and even scott come across as much older and dont act the slightest bit as most twenty somethings would, The youngest set like Reed , Charlie and maddy are total m.i.a
the last good gen of y n r teen set was the glow by jabot crew of billy, j.t , mac and co. that was twenty years ago .Only the original J. T has lasted but unfortunately the ptb killed off his true love Colleen , a legacy Abbot which was unforgivable and a huge mistake. Last weeks scenes with JT and Tracey remanicing were touching.
Absolutely, true and concise post, damien. Kudos.
Please, no more Winters!
I agree, K/kay. I really liked Mr. Adamson and the potential of Noah Newman, especially as he meshed so well with the other actors/Newmans. Sadly, Noah was done no favors by successive writing teams. I liked very much the bond Nick and Noah shared, such contrast with Victor and Nick. Am sure we will have Noah back some day. Powers that be need only to find a reason why for the longer term.
Mal jumped the shark again Sharon gets hurt this next week and he is gone what is the rush and sorry Tessa s like a limp dish rag and JT is he addicted to mds wick an qbuaer wtf
Sorry addicted to meds what is going on???
I appreciated the bond between Nick and Noah; wish it would not be lost. They are going to need each other!
This all seemed to come about SO fast. I, for one, am sorry to see him being written out. I would think with all the storylines going on he could have fit in somewhere.
I admit, upon his casting, I was skeptical about how I felt about him becoming Noah Newman, but, for six years, I’ve seen him grow into the role. So, this exit is disappointing for both Robert Adamson and the character of Noah, who continues to be treated as second-class. I am hoping, that in Noah’s time off-canvas, the character can experience a reboot of sorts, and that when the time comes, Adamson can re-claim the role that it rightfully his. I’m also shocked the bisexual storyline was passed from Noah to Mariah; I’m happy we’re still getting it, but would have loved to have seen it under Adamson’s portrayal, and it would have brought true depth to the character of Noah.
Huge loss to the soap right now; maybe another can pick him up for the time being?
Very dumb move. Liked him in the role.
GOOD LUCK TO A GOOD ACTOR…SORRY Y&R COULD NEVER COME UP WITH A GOOD STORY FOR THIS YOUNG MAN….I FEEL THEY WASTED HIS TALENT…..HOPE HE SHOWS UP AT GH…..
His exit is probably helping to pay for someone who’s getting hired. Most likely a fairly big name in daytime. That’s the only reason I can think of as to why they would write him out.
OK so the show has become slightly less boring, slightly……
This young man has always seemed like the sweetest guy, but they could never seem to find the right girl for him. Actually, I always felt he and Mariah made the best couple, but being siblings, it was of course a no no. I wish him well, and think he is a versatile actor, being able to do many types of parts.
When will Y&R learn that you have to include the next generation? Everything can’t be Newmans & Abbotts. Bill Bell introduced new families and characters who weren’t connected. Are they afraid to age actors/characters? Sharon, Nick, Phyllis, Jack and Lauren have twentysomething year old, but they disappear into thin air.
This exit by Robert Adamson was not all that surprising. Be well Robert. May your career blossom from here on out.
Robert is a good actor and Noah is part of the Newman family. I am not sure I agree with this decision. Hopefully he returns as Noah down the road and the writers give the character the attention it deserves.
I like him as an actor but feel they have written his character of “Noah” in a lackluster manner. During his 6 years on the show, he has never had a really meaty storyline. I wish him the best of luck.
You are right, they never gave him a challenge to see what he was made of.
Sorry to see this young actor leave, but sadly the Noah character was weak and uninteresting. The character needed to be more interesting.
It’s so sad to see you go, but hope that your future holds many new adventures.
So sorry to see u go, you are an amazing actor . I know where ever you go you will be good . Great job
I’m sorry to see Robert being forced to leave the show, and hope he’ll find another that will provide him with storylines worthy of his talents.
For heaven’s sake, couldn’t the show have dumped Devon Hamilton instead? I find HIM boring, particularly with his love/hate relationship with Hilary. Been there, done that. Time to move on.
I agree, Devon is on everyday now and sucks the life out of every scene!
Yup!!!! Talk about righteous indignation, T. I guess Devon forgot when he stabbed Neil in the back, after opening his home, his heart, and giving him his trust. If I remember correctly, not only did Devon sleep with Tyra, Neil’s latest flame, at the time ( and he had plenty), but also, his wife/stepmom, Hilary.
So, Devon’s hypocrasy is blaring….
As far as Noah, T, I think that one of the biggest mistakes TPTB continuously make is casting older actors to play teens. Robert Adamson was already in his late twenties when cast as Noah.
How long could he go on playing the youthful, strapping son of Nick and Sharon?
I don’t know if Noah coming back in his thirties, which Robert is, will help. Kyle, in his thirties, makes more sense, considering Jack is in his sixties. Nick is only in his forties.
I think, maybe, if Noah is to ever come back, he should be younger. He is supposed to be so much younger than Mariah/Cassie….but, he looks older.
I see what you’re saying about Victoria, albeit she is one of my favorite actresses/characters…very disappointed, in that, I expected butterflies and rainbows on the horizon when JT came back. One problem after another….and, to add insult to injury, he seems to be contemplating an ungodly alliance with Ashley ( whose gone rogue a’ la typical-Jackie-boy, yet pontificating on her brother’s vices) against Victor—well, Victor ain’t no fool….
Victoria? She’s flying high within the resurgence of subliminal JT-love…oh, my, oh, my!! LOL.
Please make them all stop. …Nick is a grown man, suffering from pangs of Shell-sea love who is taking him for a ride….as I said….they haven’t made it out of the playpen yet.
And here I thought Charlie was an annoying child. The way I see it, the Winters’ kids are the most adult and the most sane, albeit I know we don’t like them much, my T. LOL.
Such sad news. I like Noah and I loved the way him & his dad interacted. I take little breaks from it every now & then simply because we lost all the young off springs. Where is Jack’s son Kyle or Lauren & Michael’s son Fen. If the writers had tried better they could have had Noah interested in Hilary. Could you just imagine Victor or even Nick’s reaction. Although I really like the new writer I think they need to think out of the box.
Kyle is being recasted and they need Max back as Fenn!
The character has never been written to its full potential as a next generation leading man and I never found Adamson to be all that exciting on screen. And let’s be honest: when your character doesn’t have an apartment set and is seen only at work you know the writers aren’t invested in you (take note, Abby).
Awwww..
So long, sweetie..
Perhaps we’ll be seeing you in another soap in an awesome role ..
Mumbai? Who would want to go there?
I do feel like his exit was rushed. I hope he returns.
Mumbai is quite beautiful.
Robert’s acting and hair had much improved but his stories were never there. Not his fault. He will land on one of the other two soaps, for sure.
Don’t have time to read all the wonderful comments. Noah was cast as too young for his “real” age. Wish he could stick around. Bring him back in a couple of years! He was relaxing; perhaps he could be a mediating Newman. Best to him!

If you have ever tuned-in to the soap opera genre over the last 50 years, and witnessed some of the greatest romances, drama, classic and outlandish storylines of all-time, you would have seen Deidre Hall smack dab in the middle of it as longtime Salem heroine, Dr. Marlena Evans.
It was 50 years on this date, June 21, 1976 that Hall first appeared on DAYS on NBC which was its home for 57 years before it moved to its current streaming platform on Peacock in September of 2022.
In Hall’s first episode she was introduced as a psychiatrist treating Mickey Horton (John Clarke) at Bayview Sanitarium after he suffered a complete mental breakdown. Mickey learned that his brother Bill Horton (Edward Mallory) was the biological son of Mike Horton (Wesley Eure) with his wife Laura (Susan Flannery) and that he had been lied to for years and years. From that moment on, the rest is television and soap opera history. Days of Our Lives put Hall front and center.

There were so many heartbreaking and shocking story twists involving the beloved Marlena. One of the first was the historic crib death of baby DJ (Don Jr.) in 1980, Marlena’s infant son with Don Craig (Jed Allan). The story had never been told on daytime television and Hall’s performances received accolades from TV critics to fans when Deidre received thousands of letters from grieving mothers who had gone through the same thing in their own lives.
DAYS also brought Deidre’s twin sister, Andrea Hall Lovell to the show as her on-screen sister Samantha, who had a grudge and even locked Marlena up in a sanitarium and took her place! Fast-forward and in 1982, DAYS launched the Salem Strangler story where everyone believed Marlena was his next victim, only it turned out to be Samatha. Jake Kositchek (played by Jack Coleman) was revealed to be the actual serial killer.
Later, Deidre would assume the role of Marlena’s look-alike, Hattie Adams in 2004, once played by her sister, Andrea. Over the years, Hattie has come back to Salem and caused trouble giving Hall a chance to play a different type of character, then the always upstanding Marlena.

THE LOVES OF MARLENA
Deidre Hall struck gold with all her leading men: from the late Jed Allan, to Wayne Northrop as Roman Brady, and of course, her enduring love story with the late John Black played by the iconic Drake Hogestyn. In fact, Marlena’s 1986 wedding to John (who was believed to be Roman at the time) remains a favorite of fans to this day.
TOP MARLENA STORYLINES OF ALL-TIME
While the list is long, here are several that were some of the memorable during Deidre’s five decades in Salem!
The Possession (1994- 1995)
Considered one of the most ambiguous, outlandish and unforgettable story arcs in soap opera history, then Days of Our Lives head writer, James Reilly went there! Marlena was possessed by the devil! That included; the demonic eyes, hissing at father John (Black) the priest, morphing into creatures, and the classic levitating in her bed! It became a cultural phenomenon and cemented Deidre Hall’s status as a daytime television legend. Just ask Ryan Gosling!

The Affair with John Black (1993)
John and Marlena’s forbidden love could not be denied and they had passionate affair, while she was still married to the real Roman. Problem was her daughter, Sami (Alison Sweeney) caught her mother having sex with John on a desk that changed Sami forever.
The Salem Stalker Mystery (2003-2004)
In a shocker, Marlena was revealed to be a serial killer who bumped off several Salem favorites residents who were all alive on the island of Melaswen (spelled “New Salem” backward). Turns out, she was manipulated and gaslighted by Andre DiMera (Thaao Penghlis) to do the “killings” and had no memory of her actions.
The Pier Scene (1991)
This remains Michael Fairman TV’s all-time favorite Deidre Hall moment, which featured some of the best acting in the storied careers of both Hall and Drake Hogestyn.
In the story, a presumed-dead Marlena returns after four years. One foggy night on the pier, John is alone, and Marlena steps out of the fog to reveal herself, and is reunited with the love of her life. You can watch it any year, any decade, and in any moment, and it will have you reaching for the hankies again and again. (best music score fo a soap scene of all-time too!)

Kristen’s Secret Room Reveal (1997)
Marlena was caught in Kristen Blake’s (Eileen Davidson) elaborate web of lies, when she was held hostage in a secret wine cellar/room until John managed to track her down, leading to an iconic on-screen reunion. The classic catfight between Hall and Eileen Davidson was one for the ages.
It should be noted that Maison Blanche, Queen of the Night, Possession, Aremid and Lady in a Cage were all a part of classic DAYS storyline and all featured Hall at the epicenter of it from 1993-1996.
THE RECENT YEARS OF MARLENA
In recent years, DAYS brought back the possession 2.0 storyline under then head writer Ron Carlivati in 2021 where the devil leapt back in Marlena after taking advantage of a frail Doug Williams (the late Bill Hayes)
In 2025, viewers watched the end of the love story of John and Marlena, as John succumbed to injuries sustained in an explosion saving a vial of medication needed to bring Bo (Peter Reckell) back to life. Marlena has been a widow on-screen since June of 2025 as Hall as portrayed the good doctor struggling with her grief and to move on with her life since his death.

One story that never goes away is Stefano DiMera’s (the late Joe Mascolo) obsession with Marlena, his “Queen of the Night.” Even in death, Stefano is toying with her from the great beyond with the mysterious chess set and the missing “pawn,” that he had gifted John and Marlena in his will. The mystery is currently unfolding on all-new episodes of Days of Our Lives.
Tune-in to Days of our Lives on the Monday, June 22 episode as Marlena looks back at her 50 years in Salem.
Share your congratulations to Deidre Hall for this incredible 50-year milestone as Dr. Marlena Evans on Days of Our Lives in the comment section. Then let us know, what is your all-time favorite storyline or moment in the life of Marlena over the past 5 decades? And, just for kicks, and to celebrate this amazing milestone, here is Marlena levitating below circa Christmas Eve 1994.
General Hospital
Maurice Benard Gives High Praise to ‘General Hospital’ Writers; Teases Upcoming Sonny Scenes with Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric
With the highly-anticipated returns of Finola Hughes (Anna Devane) on this week’s June 24 episode of General Hospital, Steve Burton’s (Jason Morgan) upcoming return on July 13, which also serves as the ABC daytime drama’s 16,000 episode, things are about to fire on all cylinders in the story, as noted today by series star, Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos).
On Father’s Day, the three-time Daytime Emmy-winning actor and mental health activist took to his Instagram and expressed in a video that he has some unbelievable upcoming senes with the aforementioned Burton and Hughes. Add to that Nazneen Contractor (Justine Turner) and Rick Hearst (Ric Lansing), where Benard gave credit where credit is due to the GH writing team, which is led by co-head writers, Elizabeth Korte and Chris Van Etten..
In this video, Benard said, “I just want to get on here and say that I did some work with Steve Burton, Finola Hughes, Rick Hearst, Nazneen Contractor, and they’re all just fantastic. Truly fantastic. But, I want to say the writing was just exceptional. It truly was. It was exceptional. So, thankful for that kind of writing. I know writers don’t get the credit a lot, but I just want to say to the General Hospital writing team, keep rolling!”
GENERAL HOSPITAL PREVIEW
So now the question becomes, with a major tease like that, what is about to go down between Sonny, Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric? Will we finally get to the end of the line for Sidwell (Carlo Rota), as previously teased by the GH co-head writers? Will we learn what happened to Jason and Anna, fully? Will Justine and Sonny becomes closer or stop their liaisons? And what of Ric? Will he be true blue to his brother or double-cross him? There is a lot at stake as we move further into the summer and one that looks like it could be one of the more exciting ones in years!
FINOLA HUGHES CONFIRMED AMAZING SCENES WITH MAURICE BENARD
As a punctuation point to his video, Benard also shared this written message in the post: “I just did some wonderful scenes with Steve Burton, Rick Hearst, Finola Hughes and Nazneen Contractor and and unbelievable writing, freaking amazing scenes that you will see in the near future on General Hospital.” In fact, Finola Hughes jumped in the post comment thread and responded, “I loved our scenes so much xxx”
Fans will most likely see all the scenes Benard referred to later in July, since GH tapes approximately six weeks ahead of air.
So, are you excited to see what Maurice is talking about? Are you hyped for what’s to come on GH? Any clue on what you think will go down between the main characters on the soap with the returns of Anna Devane and Jason Morgan to the mix? Weigh-in via the comment section below.
