"Restless" Recast: New Noah!

Somebody better call a doctor, STAT! Noah Newman from "The Young and the Restless" has caught an acute case of SORAS -- that mysterious TV condition otherwise known as Soap Opera Rapid Aging Syndrome.

Last played by 12-year-old actor Hunter Allan, Noah was sent off to summer camp on June 9. Looks like that was the official end of his childhood ...

When Noah returns to Genoa City on August 13, Nick and Sharon's son will be played by Kevin Schmidt. Who's about to turn 20. LOL! What could that camp be putting in the juice boxes at their canteen, we wonder?

Kevin is best known for playing one of the Baker kids in "Cheaper by the Dozen" and "Cheaper by the Dozen 2," which co-starred Steve Martin, Bonnie Hunt, Hilary Duff, and Tom Welling from "Smallville."

Well the writers must have some point to this but it is such a flagrant move...off goes cute little Noah and back comes Noah, who is appears thinks highly of Amber and that might be the next "well it just happened..we did not mean for it to happen" thing...it would be "Amberish" to bed down the NoahMan. I think it is ridiculous to age someone that fast...is he older than Cassie now?

The same thing happened to Nick! He went away to baseball camp and came back a teen. I thought it was just as ridiculous then as I do now.

I don't they should replace with actor so old. I think that he should go up naturally. It would have been better and more believeable. I know that soap operas do this all the time, but this wasn't don't well. He was just gone for summer camp and he comes back a high school student. A maybe a 12 year to junior in high school let's be real

Why such a big jump in ages from old Noah to Nu ?? Won't that make Sharon and Nick much much older as well? Hmmmm seems to me a couple of years progression would have been more in line.

I think that was just too fast for this kid to have grown up. Couldn't the writers have found someone a lot younger?

Nicholas isn't old enough to have a kid that age, not to mention that he is almost the same size. This has got to be a joke. If they were going to replace Hunter Allen, they should have gotten someone closer to his age. This is just too weird.

I think he'll work out just fine and anyone who thinks these writers are not doing a great job should tune in One Life to Live -- we thought it was a 2 day 40th year anniversary spoof on July 21 & 22 and it's stilllllllll going on. Keep up the good work Y & R

I don't think they can successfully explain Noah's aging miracle. Many times the writers ask us to take a leap where the storyline seems to be a bit much, but this time they are asking us to do it without parachutes. Pat

This is just not right!!! Hunter Allen was growing into such a fine actor and that was his part. These so called writers should have left things alone and let the Noah grow up as Hunter is--Kids just don't grown in 10 weeks; aging 10+ years. In my mind he'll always be Noah!

Aging Noah this much,is almost as idiotic as putting Sabrina in the limo with David. The new kid is cute, but Nick isn't old enough to have a kid that age. The younger Noah was fine. This whole thing is so not believable...aging Summer, is also unrealistic. Do the writers really think that this is acceptable?

I think it's ridiculous that Noah grew up over the summer from a little boy to a full grown guy! They should have kept little Noah and let him grow with the show like other soaps do.

What in the world are the writers thinking? No teenage drama? What gives. This is ridiculous. This is a cute kid they've got but 20 years old? He would have passed for 16 and the writiers should have done that. They aged Nickolas and Phylis' daughter a couple years and I haven't seen Filmore lately but this is rediculous! Karen.. AZ

Noah had to buy all new clothes too since he was packed off to camp with clothes a little boy would wear and suddenly his voice changed too. I guess Sharon and Nick won't have to worry about picking him up at Sam's house. The kid now has his own car and drives. Wow! Are the writers thinking we're going to buy "the little boy who aged over a few weeks". He missed being a teenager. Some growth spurt. They'd better start putting some reality back into these storylines. What's wrong with the writers on this show?

I am soooo happy that younger Noah is gone! I have always thought he was horrible, he could not act!! But to go from him to this is a little much but that's a soap for ya. :) I will be much happier watching the Noah clips now, actually I will watch them now ha ha ha

"WOW"! what the heck is going on with the 20yr old Noah. My son is 22 and that took 22yrs not in a few months lol! They could have brought in a teenager to play him not a 20yr old. that is just not practical and impossible! do they really think that the public wouldn't notice? huh! I WONDER?

HOW WOULD THEY EXPLAIN NOAH COMING BACK FROM CAMP AS 20 YEAR OLD WHEN HE LEFT HE WAS ONLY 12, HE ONLY STAYED AT CAMP FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS THAT WAS SO STUPID OF THEM TO DO THAT. I CANT WAIT TO SEE HOW THEIR GOING TO EXPLAIN THIS TO THE VIEWERS

Okay I kinda thought Noah would age over the summer, but honestly, to 20 that was extreme, a teenager would have been better,heck his parents are barely in their 30's. I don't think the show needed another hot young star we have several already. His last show date was in June not even 2 months until the new guy appears, whatever.

This is hilarious about Noah coming back as 20, I can see 16 but 20!!!!!! they will be losing viewers!!!!!!Killing off Sabrina was not a good choice either. Y&R has taking a turn for the worst instead of the better.

O.K. I've been watching Y&R for years. Through those years we got used to an occasional send a child off to boarding school and one or two years later they come back all grown up. (I even remember the blonde little girl who played Victoria for years) HOWEVER, to go off to summer camp one month and return two months later as a grown adult is way too much. It's borderline playing with our intelligence! I mean come on, Victor Jr and Heather just came back as adults for goodness sakes and their characters were out of the show for years. For me it's a huge insult to grow Noah up that quickly. That's too fast, too soon. Not to mention that if he's grown that fast that quickly, what about his best friend Abby, what about Summer and Fin. Will they be teenagers next week? It just ridiculous!

it ruins the show for me when people are advanced in age years. I saw Summer the other day and was very dissappointed. Maybe if they were not advanced so rapidly. a year or months, but several years in one summer or one year. I don't understand what the writers are thinking, or are they? So Noah is going to return from camp as a 20 something kid. What kind of camp did he attend? Maybe he was a councilor or something along that line. I may go to "All My children" since Ricky is there and Beth is following in his footprints....

Ok I am thoroughly upset that Sabrina is gone, but I tell you what I was in tears... The pain and emotion they were able to pull from my insides were incredible, and I give a thumbs up to the writers for making me be on the edge of my seat waiting for the next episode. I even got into a discussion with my Mom who did not like Sabrina, and I did, and we debated whether she was good for Victor or not. She proceeded to send me a sympathy card in the mail that said she was sorry for Sabrina's passing!!!! Then in parenthesis (NOT) So I say kudos to the writers for keeping me interested, and giving me a special moment and a huge laugh with my mom.

I honestly stopped watching Y & R when the killed off Sabrina, i turned off the television and threw down the remote. I think that story line was the most stupid they have down yet, that showed a whole new side of Victor, a soft romantic french side, and now I just will not watch it unless they bring back Sabrina,,,,this was the only soap I did watch, and now I think these new writers or whoever they are don"t know what they are doing.....

I love Y&R and have watched it for a long time. I have seen many changes, but the new writers should go back where they came from! The story line was so interesting with Victor and Sabrina, and their unborn child. Sabrina was a supurb actress, can't imagine she is gone. The part about Noah is so ridiculous, it's almost an insult to all of us.

It's been a while since I have written a comment on here because i wanted to see how the new writers were going to turn this show around. I've given it enough time. What the heck are they doing? Just when we got used to Sabrina and started liking her with Victor, they kill her off. Someday Victor and Nikki should get back together, but not yet. Victor deserves some happiness and Sabrina was a very interesting character. Also- what is up with Noah now being 20? Come on! This is rediculous. The last child actor was excellent and they should not have let him go. I can't buy Nick having a 20 year old son. That would mean he is almost 40. That's crazy and stupid from a storyline standpoint. Come on, Y and R writing team- you can do better than that.

I think this is the dumbest thing Young & the Restless has ever done. I've been an avid fan since the first episode. Do you writers thing we're so dumb that we'll believe a 12-year old whose been away to camp for 6 weeks suddenly comes back as a 19-year old. This is ridculous. I think this story line stinks.

Well stuff like thiss although predictable in the soap world does't mean I'm cool with it. I'm done with this soap. How many rediculas plots can I follow. Cloes Pregnate with a passed oput cane's limp sperm. Victor and Nickki getting back togther for like the 20th time after she pulls the biggest move in history. You want to do somthing inovative they should of killed Nikki. This Is so Crazy cuz Nick barly looks 20 and now you exspect us to believe he has a 20 year old son come on??? If Victor and Nikki get back together this 20+ year fan is done

I guess history repeats itself because we all remember when Nick was just a little boy and then all of a sudden he was twenty. I think it'll be fun though. Noah and Daniel will be hanging out now! Funny But Lily did the same thing. Went to Paris and came back a teenager. So, it's only fair that the next time we see Abby, she should be graduating from high school.

Did they say Noahs coming back as a 20 yr old or that he's being played by a twenty yr old, because if he's coming back and he's 20 thats just ridiculous, he just went to camp last month, Ive heard of time flying but this is crazy!!!!

How is Noah going to return to y&R being so much older when the rest of the show is not moving with that time? I think if Noah gets older so should everything and everyone else....which will only mean that parts in the writers' script will not add up.

This is my very first post on Soap.Net so please bear with me. I Don't understand why, why they do this?? When Cassie past away she was just going to the Prom and now Noah is going to college?? And the parents never get old. Jack raised Nick and now they switched wives?? I guess this is why we watch this craziness.

As a Y&R fan like many others I was glad to see victor finding happiness with Sabrina, nikki reminds me of a magnet always attracting the wrong type of guy. Jack rewording the article on Sabrina in restless style makes me recall his manipulating of his father's will and he so cruelly made gloria, out of the will. He took advantage of his own father when he was messed up due to medication. Now that it is out about this new stunt I can't wait to see Victor nailing Jack, and they say revenge is sweet. For the things I mentioned Jack belongs behind bars, wake up sharon leave him, or you may follow in nikki's footsteps.

Now I know these writers are out of their minds! They kill off a beautiful young woman who added class to Y&R and perfect for Victor. Now they bring back Noah who is 8 years older than he was 2 months ago when he went to camp. How absurd is this? The first absurdity was when they let go of Adrienne aka Colleen. Then Sabrina getting killed. And now Noah who left for camp as a adolescent and now a grown man! These writers are ridiculous!

why did they get rid of noah? It made more sense for him to be the age he was with Cassie being killed when she was driving and not old enough to have a license, now its going to screw up the plot to where it makes no sense. Why cant good things be left well enough alone. Just like the other Colleen, Adriene, they got rid of her because she gained weight, and the new one has the personality of wallpaper paste. No wonder Adrienne corbelle made it with Amber when he had a chance, this new Colleen is kind of bland. I am glad they put the original girl back as Drew's daughter, I didnt like the one they had replace her. She was a total zero. I think Cane will marry her anyway regardless of what cheap tricks Chloe tries to pull as everyone knows Chloe is nothing but a cheap trick.
