Anyone who has seen the fall preview for Young & Restless knows that Nick and Sharon are once again headed on an adventure. We could get hung up on asking just how many crises Sharon can reasonably be expected to field in the space of a year, but instead we’ll turn our focus to the basis for the latest escapade. It all has to do with a terrifying twist involving their son, Noah.

As far as we know, Noah’s been living (and thriving) overseas in London, running nightclubs and romancing his lady love, Allie Nguyen (Jack’s granddaughter), but in an out-of-the-blue plot twist, headwriter Josh Griffith revealed to TV Insider that he will land in hot water in Los Angeles.

What’s more, NuNoah will have a different, but familiar, face, as the core character will now be played by Days of Our Lives alum Lucas Adams.

How Noah ends up in Los Angeles we’ve no idea, but there’s little doubt from the preview that he’s caught up in something nefarious, as Sharon and Nick make the journey to the City of Angels in an attempt to stop him from heading “down a dangerous, dangerous path” that involves Tamara Braun’s new character Sienna Bacall, and a mysterious newcomer played by soap vet Roger Howarth.

But if our hunch is correct, the terror is also tied to someone — or two someones — currently on the Young & Restless canvas. Whatever “happened” between Noah’s ex, Audra, and Holden in Los Angeles has been brought up repeatedly in recent episodes. It simply cannot be a coincidence!

Audra fled to Los Angeles right after splitting from Noah and miscarrying his child, and it was Holden who helped her out of some kind of jam. Whatever it was that Holden did for Audra, we’re 99.99% sure it was illegal. Hence, the suspected connection to whatever danger Noah’s managed to get himself into in the same city.

Moreover, the preview hints that Noah and Audra may be drawn back together again, teasing, “They do have a history.” What do you think, folks? Is the danger Noah’s facing in L.A. tied to his ex, Audra? Vote!
