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!
The latest ratings are out for the week of October 26-30, 2026 and the big takeaways include: that CBS daytime’s Beyond the Gates was separated by only 23,000 viewers behind third place (of the soaps) General Hospital! For the last several weeks, Beyond the Gates has been closing the gap on this year’s winner for Outstanding Daytime Drama Series, and continuing to best GH in the key demos.
According to the latest Nielsen ratings breakdown from Soap Opera Network, the final week of October brought Beyond the Gates 1.790 million on average tuning-in and the show set a season high in total viewers. Meanwhile, General Hospital hit a new season low! The long-running ABC soap had 1.813 million for the week, and once again the series did not go over the 2 million mark.
Meanwhile, in the key Women 18-49 demo, Beyond the Gates was firmly ahead of GH with a rating share of 0.21, while General Hospital had 0.17 rating share.Then, in the key Women 25-54 demo, Beyond the Gates was once again ahead of the ABC soap with a ratings share for that demo at 0.30 while GH came in with 0.26.

MORE BY THE NUMBERS
In addition and comparatively, Beyond the Gates +22,000 viewers week-to-week, and had the largest gains in viewership year-to-year in daytime TV with +267,000 from this in 2025.. However, General Hospital seems to be going in reverse. The show was down -56,000 viewers week-over-week and down -22,000 year-over-year .
BEYOND THE GATES
Let’s take a look at some of the storylines that had people tuning-in to Beyond the Gates during the ratings week:
Hayley (Marquita Goings) attempted a massive shocker regarding her pregnancy and tried to use it to extract money from Bill Hamilton (Timon Kyle Durrett). Although, Bill saw right through her game, he demanded a paternity test, and made it clear he has no intention of raising the child—planning instead to pay her off to take the baby and leave. Meanwhile, Hayley confided her plan to her cousin Randy (Maurice P. Kerry).
Jacob Hawthorne (Jibre Hordges) and Naomi Hamilton (Arielle Prepetit) clashed over Jacob’s ongoing investigation into The Impaler, causing significant strain in their marriage. At the same time, Smitty (Mike Manning) considered taking matters into his own hands—including potentially heading to Mexico for evidence—while Martin Richardson (Brandon Claybon) worried about what comes next.

GENERAL HOSPITAL
Over at General Hospital for the ratings period, the story served up included:
Carly (Laura Wright) and Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) teamed up to investigate what really happened to Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna). Later, Danny (Asher Antonyzyn) leads them to Jack’s dead body.
Jude (Wil Traval) dropped a bombshell claim to Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn); that he is Phoebe’s father, while Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) and Chase (Josh Swickard) signed their divorce papers.
Then, Danny caught Rocco (Finn Carr) and Scout (Kayden Brenna Tokarski) sharing a kiss, plus the shocking return of Heather Webber (Alley Mills) capped the week.
Now the questions become; without having much promotional synergy in the ABC day-part to draw more eyeballs it is not helping but hurting General Hospital. It seems Beyond the Gates is also a benefactor of a one-two-three punch of CBS soaps (Y&R, B&B and BTG) and promotion.
However, that still doesn’t take away the fact that Beyond the Gates is close to besting GH in all ratings category as they go head-to-head in some markets across the country.
So, are you excited to see Beyond the Gates climb in the ratings? Are you concerned for General Hospital? Do you think they can stave off Beyond the Gates in total viewers or will the upstart soap overtake them in the next ratings report? Share your thoughts in the comment section.
Antonio Sabáto Jr., the former Jagger Cates of General Hospital and GH: Night Shift, and the former Dante Damiano of The Bold and the Beautiful has issued his first public statement since the incident involving his son, Jack’s arrest in Alaska for a fatal hit-and-run.
Jack is the son of Sabáto Jr. and Oscar-nominated actress Virginia Madsen, and according to court documents obtained by KTUU Jack, was allegedly driving a white Chevy Tahoe when he hit and killed Carl Simmonds, 42, near an intersection in Anchorage around 5:35 a.m. on Monday, November 9.
The reports indicated that Jack fled the scene — but later decided to called the cops to say he hit “something” that “suddenly appeared in the road” while he was “doing late-night DoorDashing.”

Now, Antonio has taken to his Instagram breaking his silence on the situation, sharing, “At this time, my family and I are navigating an extremely sensitive and deeply personal matter.”
He added, “As a father, my love for my children remains unconditional, and my priority is the well-being of my family. We ask that the public and members of the media honor our privacy during this difficult time and keep us all in your thoughts and prayers.”
The soap alum concluded, “I also wish to extend my heartfelt condolences to the family and loved ones of the gentleman who tragically lost his life. My thoughts and prayers are with them as well. We sincerely appreciate your compassion, understanding, and respect for the privacy of everyone affected.”
Jack Sabáto was arraigned in court on Tuesday, November 10 with bail set at $5,000, and a no-driving order and the potential of $5,000 penalty fees if he fails to attend future court appearances.
Antonio is the father to Jack, 34, daughter, Mina Sabato, 24 and son, Antonio Sabáto III, 15.

Days of our Lives long-running cast member James Reynolds revealed on the November 10 edition of Entertainment Tonight that he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and his character of Abe Carver will now be going through an on-screen Parkinson’s battle as well.
Speaking with ET’s Nischelle Turner, the 80-year-old actor and Daytime Emmy winner shared how he attempted to hide the warning signs dating back to 15-20 years ago when he would have, “What they call the hallucinations. My wife (Lissa) would say, ‘You were hitting me last night in bed,’ and I would say, ‘What?!’ I was having these really horrible dreams.” Reynolds also added that he realized falling out of bed was an early symptom of Parkinson’s too.
Discussing the on-going tremors that have become more noticeable over time especially in hands, James shared that when he finally told the Days of our Lives cast they were nothing but “extraordinarily helpful and supportive.”

During the sit-down, Reynolds co-star Jackée Harry (Paulina Price) recalls her reaction to learning of Reynolds’ real-life diagnosis and how she has continued to search for new treatments to inform James about.
Although Parkinson’s disease currently has no cure, there are medications and treatments can help those manage symptoms and improve quality of life. The condition progresses at a different pace from individual to individual.
As discussed in his conversation with ET, Reynolds cited Michael J. Fox and Alan Alda as two high-profile celebrities who have brought awareness to the disease.

In story on DAYS, Abe in recent weeks had been experiencing tremors which led to seek help and a diagnosis Dr. Kayla Johnson (Mary Beth Evans). Soon Abe and others will find out of his battle with Parkinson’s. Although on the promo for this week’s DAYS, Abe is seen telling Kayla, that he will do something, “when the time is right.”
