Hey Y&R fans, every second Saturday TV Banter discusses the latest happenings and provides commentary on your favourite daytime drama. Note to U.S. readers - SPOILER ALERT: Here in Canada, I watch the show on Global TV, which is one episode ahead of CBS. I will inevitably refer to incidents you haven't seen yet. Read at your own risk. If you are the curious type, though, you may prefer to discover some things in advance.
Hi fans,
So Adam told Chelsea that he is going to stand up to daddy Victor Newman if he attacks Jack Abbot and Jabot. because he likes Jack. I doubt Adam will succeed, but it's worth a try. if Adam defies his father, I'll be cheering him on. Somebody has to show some backbone and stop that insufferable man. It certainly won't be Michael Baldwin.
The new Noah, played by Lucas Adams, has been unmasked. The bandages are off. His affair with Sienna Bacall (Tamara Braun) has been revealed. Fans of Days of our Lives will find this unsettling because on Days, the two played mother and son when Lucas was Tripp and Tamara was Ava. I'm glad that I never watched them in those roles.
As for Noah's girlfriend, Allie Nguyen, played by Kelsey Wang, her status is unclear. She remains in London, where she has been living with Noah, at least for the time being. It is uncertain if and when she will return. If she does return, it may not be for long. Not surprisingly, Noah is in no hurry to contact her as he feels guilty about Sienna. It doesn't appear that Allie's relationship with Noah will last. She'll be in for a shock when she learns what he's been up to. Allie does have roots in Genoa City, though. After all, she is Jack Abbott's granddaughter.
Detective Burrow, played by Matt Cohen, is a shady individual. He is connected to that slimy Matt Clark/Mitch Bacall (Roger Howarth). We don't even know Burrow's first name yet. He's very mysterious. Will he be trouble for Sharon, Nick and Noah?
Nate and Victoria seem headed for romance again, but will Nate be able to stand Victor's interference? Victor will interfere because he is so terribly controlling, especially when it concerns his daughter, the Princess Victoria. Speaking of Victoria, why doesn't she ever mention her son Reed, with ex-husband J.T. Hellstrom?
Cane has given up on reconciling with Lily, at least for now. He's about to embark on a reckless affair with Phyllis, even though he suspects she hacked his AI program and made a deal with Victor, who now has possession of it. This will end in disaster.
Maybe it's time for Kyle Abbott to move on from Claire. She's obviously not ready for a serious relationship and wants to sew her wild oats. However, I think she has become quite suspicious of Holden, and has been watching him carefully, as she should.
The more Kyle chases Claire, the more she runs away. He should just let her be. Dealing with Claire is difficult for the entitled Abbott heir because he is so used to getting his own way. This time he can't have what he wants.
Kyle could always try to get back with hie ex, Summer, but she seems to be settled in Milan for now. Another possibility is Tara Locke, Harrison's biological mother, played by Elizabeth Leiner. Tara was arrested for embezzlement and sent to prison. Kyle was then granted custody of their son, Harrison (Redding Munsell). His former wife, Summer, adopted the child and became a mother to him. The return of Tara would really stun the Abbott family. It would definitely shake up Harrison.
We haven't seen Lucy Romalotti (Lily Brooks O'Briant) for months. We did hear that she will be spending Christmas with Summer in Milan. I wonder what she would think about her father Daniel's relationship with Tessa. It's hard to figure out what's going on with Mariah and Ian Ward. That storyline is so confusing.
A distraught Tessa has asked for Daniel's friendship. He has agreed to stand by her and has encouraged her to be patient with Mariah, but they have definitely developed romantic feelings for each other. Daniel has invited her to be his date for Danny and Cricket's wedding. That should get some tongue's wagging.
One more thing. Are we ever going to see Nick's son, Christian?
I received an email from CC in Etobicoke, Ontario, a longtime Y&R viewer. Here it is.
Hi Joanne,
Here are some tidbits for now.
Though I am happy about the reintroduction of the character of Noah, I am not finding the new storyline revolving around him to be interesting. I am also wondering if he is meant to be sticking around or just stopping by.
It looks like Sharon Case (Sharon Newman) is giving herself another run at getting a Daytime Emmy after losing out this year. Michelle Stafford won the award in 2024. Sharon and Michelle Stafford were both nominated this year, but they did not win.
Hi CC
Thanks for your comments. I too am pleased about the reintroduction of the Noah Newman character. However, I am also interested in the storyline revolving around him. I like the mystery surrounding Noah in Los Angeles. I think he will be sticking around for a while because a new actor, Lucas Adams, has taken over the role of Noah. The show seems to be focusing on the L.A. storyline.
Y&R REPORT READERS' POLL
 |
| Luca Adams (Noah) |
The new Noah has certainly gotten himself into a heap of trouble. He has unwittingly put himself and his family in a dangerous situation. He is having an affair with an older woman who happens to be married to psychopath Matt Clark, a vicious criminal and rapist, who tormented his parents. That's quite a storyline for Lucas Adams, the new Noah Newman Fans, how do you think he's doing so far? Are you impressed with his portrayal of Noah? Respond to the poll below and let me know.
That's all for now. Please remember that the next edition of Y&R Report will appear in this space on Saturday, November 29, 2025.
Take care,
Joanne
