Great move...Sony's on a role!  

Can't write for Noah Newman? I should be shocked, surprised, and aghast but I must say even for Upchuck he's been used a lot more effectively than in the past. So it's still disappointing that they can't write for Noah. In reality Noah should have become the villain for the Luca/Marisa story but they failed to realize that potential. 

 

Noah as a whole has been a disappointment since first being SOARSed back in 2008 as played by three different actors. I know Kevin Schmidt did prove unreliable and unavailable to the show(and then publicly whine about being replaced by Adamson when he had left on his own before!) which rendered Noah useless half the year but the writing was never up to par with Noah except on occasion especially in the fall of 2012 when Adamson's Noah was actively protecting Sharon. 

 

Noah was wasted with some pretty non-viable love interests as well. Does anyone actually remember Eden. Hunter, Adrianna. or Courtney or what their stories included? 

 

As a whole, the entire young Y&R generation has been wasted. Cassie was killed and Mariah isn't used properly. Kyle is a doofus character and we've gone through three actors in four years on them trying. Fen was promising but is now seems to be permanently MIA with half-brother Scott. Jamie who? Ricky is dead. Abby is stuck with Stitch as as opposed to either sexy Carmine or Alex Chavez. Devon and Hilary have been misused horribly. Lily sucks. Colleen is dead. Jana is dead. Chloe is a sociopathic nutjob I never want on my screen again. Eden sucked. Tyler and Mason were abandoned. Summer can't lead a story properly. What the hell happened to Nate Hastings? 

Bravo!!! LOL

while disgustingly true, everything you said was so on point!

SMH.

 

Lame writer.

They have no stories for Sharon and Nick's son, but they have Sage/Sean/Summer/Dylan/Hilary/Stitch/Max on daily?

i can see Noah dying so that Victor can, yet again, be shown the error of his ways/be reformed - and we'll be forced to retread Nick/Sharon.
