[1] The character of Noah was then rapidly aged, and Kevin Schmidt was cast in the role as a teenager, making his debut on August 13, 2008.

[5][6] In August 2010 Soap Opera Digest confirmed on their website that Luke Kleintank had been cast in the role of Noah.

[19] In August 2021, it was announced that the role had been recast, with newcomer Rory Gibson debuting as Noah later that year on October 12.

[22] In the meantime, the character also launches a short-lived music career and enters into a brief romance with Jana Hawkes (Emily O'Brien).

He's a middle man, a kid who's learned to be deflective and you may see some self-righteousness" in his attitude toward his parents, realizing his mistakes "are not nearly as bad" as theirs.

This led to the introduction of New York City police detective, Alex Chavez portrayed by Adamson's former Lincoln Heights costar, Ignacio Serricchio.

An angry Noah is sent to therapy and Nick and Phyllis buy him a puppy called "Fisher" to stop him from acting out.

Sharon then marries Jack Abbott while Nick is presumed dead in a plane crash and Phyllis lands herself in prison.

[1] In August 2008, a now 15-year-old Noah begins getting into a lot of trouble, when he attends wild parties, gets into fights, lies to his parents and starts dating Eden Baldwin.

After Jana rejects his sexual advances, he realizes she is still in love with her ex, Kevin Fisher, and he subsequently leaves town.

Noah returns home in April 2011 when a fugitive Sharon is presumed dead and moves into his mom's house.

[1] In October 2012, Noah returns home when Victor is presumed dead and he is upset with Sharon for not inviting him to the funeral.

In December 2012, Noah contemplates leaving town, but stays to support his mom and later receives huge amount of cash from his ex-girlfriend.

Noah befriends Tyler Michaelson (Redaric Williams), who gets him a job as a photographer's assistant as Jabot Cosmetics; they later get an apartment together.

Noah eventually begins dating Summer's best friend, Courtney Sloan, as he settles into his new job working for Victor.

Michael Fairman of On-Air On-Soaps applauded Luke Kleintank's casting describing the actor as a "younger Joshua Morrow-type."

"[9] Schmidt was very upset following his 2012 ousting and even sent a direct message to Y&R's Twitter page saying, "How many times you gonna try and bring in a "New Noah"?

"[34] Omar Nobles of TVSource acknowledged that prior to Adamson's casting, Noah was not a major factor in storylines, and hoped that it would change under the new executive producer and head-writer.

[35] The casting news did not come as a shock due to the recently hired executive producer and head-writer, Jill Farren Phelps and Josh Griffith working on the primetime teen soap, Hollywood Heights which Adamson also appeared on.

[36] However, the speculation turned out to be true when Adamson's former costar, Hunter King stepped into the role of Summer Newman, Noah's half-sister.

Jamey Giddens pointed out how weird it would be for Adamson and King who had previously portrayed one another's love interest on Hollywood Heights to now play siblings.

[39] In 2022, Charlie Mason and Richard Simms from Soaps She Knows criticised Noah's storylines after being recast with Gibson, saying "Young & Restless recast Noah with the appealing Rory Gibson, only to turn the legacy character into a sad sack obsessing over an ex who was never all that into him in the first place.
