Storylines
Becoming insecure of her marriage, Sharon Collins (Sharon Case) decides to stop taking her birth control pills. She turns out pregnant and tells her husband Nicholas Newman (Joshua Morrow) that it was an accident. Nick convinced her they were not ready to be parents, and she agreed until she backed out of the abortion at the last minute. Sharon gives birth to a premature Noah in 1997. Fearing that her baby is going to die, her best friend Grace Turner and her boyfriend Tony Viscardi track down Cassie Newman (Camryn Grimes) the daughter Sharon gave up for adoption when she was a teenager. However, Noah lives. Cassie dies in a car accident with Daniel Romalotti (Michael Graziadei) in 2005. After Cassie's death, Noah began acting out, having several tantrums and rebelling against his parents. Nick began in hot pursuit of Daniel, who he believed was behind the wheel the night of the accident, but it was later proven that Cassie was driving. Nick and Sharon began drifting further apart, and Nick had an affair with Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford), and she later becomes pregnant. This causes Nick and Sharon to divorce. His behavior improves as his sister, Summer Newman is born, and Sharon marries Jack Abbott. However, Nick and Sharon are in a plane crash, and Nick is presumed dead for two months, and Phyllis is meanwhile about to be carted off to prison for extortion, increasing Noah's anguish. He even locked his dog, Fisher in a closet for being bad, and this is when Sharon decided he needed to begin seeing a therapist.
He was aged to 15 years old on August 13, 2008. Due to having been rapidly aged, Noah (now portrayed by Kevin Schmidt) perpetrates a number of things that get him into trouble and/or grounded, such as going to parties with alcohol, getting into a fight with a trio of bullies in France and lying to his parents constantly. During that time, he begins dating Eden Gerick (Vanessa Marano), the troubled half-sister of Michael Baldwin (Christian LeBlanc), who had recently moved to Genoa City.
He and Eden lie to his step-mom, Phyllis Summers Newman (Michelle Stafford), and Michael about their involvement in order to pursue a relationship in secret. In a devastating twist of fate, they go ice skating on a frozen lake right before a blizzard; and while skating, Noah falls through the ice. As Eden goes for help, Brad Carlton (Don Diamont) manages to pull him out, falling in and drowning in the freezing lake in the process.
Noah and Eden recently had sex and both lost their virginity. Although they got caught on the couch naked by Noah's dad and step-mom, they are now formally dating and are getting closer the more time they spend together. It looks like Noah might take after his dad in finding love so young.
Noah currently wants to be emancipated from his parents, thinking that their reunion is unreal and he said he's upset of switch between the quartet. (Sharon, Jack, Phyllis and Nick)
Sharon and Nick think he their only surving child, which is not true since Faith was stolen from Sharon the moment she was born.He moved into Brad Carlton's house along with his mom.
