When Noah (Lucas Adams) returned to Genoa City on Young and Restless recently, it was only a matter of time before he ran into Audra (Zuleyka Silver). The two characters have quite a bit of history together, but given that the most dramatic moments happened off-screen, before Audra was introduced to the canvas, some viewers might need a bit of a refresher on their connection. Here’s a rundown on the past the two characters share.
History Lesson
Audra arrived in Genoa City in September 2022, working for Jill (Jess Walton) to take Chancellor-Winters public. She attended the opening of Glam Club, which was owned by Noah, and the two came face to face for the first time in many years. Allie (Kelsey Wang) introduced herself as Noah’s girlfriend, and he told Audra to enjoy herself before walking away with Allie.
Allie was naturally curious about this woman from his past, but Noah was reluctant to discuss her. She continued to press, so he finally admitted that Audra was the woman he’d been seeing in London before he came home. Denying that Audra had broken his heart, Noah declared that once they split, he’d realized how toxic their relationship had been. Allie wondered if Audra might want to rekindle things, but Noah felt that was unlikely, given how messy things had been between them at the end.
Later, Audra managed to get Noah’s attention to explain that she was in town because Jill had hired her to work for Chancellor-Winters. She professed that she had no idea he was living here, too. Furthermore, she promised she had no designs on stealing him away from Allie, who she thought was cute.
Back Off
Because Audra was planning on sticking around Genoa City, she decided to make things right with Noah, apologizing for the way their relationship had disintegrated. Noah warned her not to go after Allie, and Audra noted it sounded like he was in love with her. She recalled once being the woman Noah loved, herself, and he declared that had been the worst mistake he’d ever made. He asked her to keep her distance and let him and Allie live their lives.
Of course, Audra couldn’t resist needling Noah’s new lady love, but Allie was more than capable of standing up for herself and saw right through the schemer’s comments about how her own relationship with Noah was so passionate that it couldn’t possibly sustain itself at that level. Allie reported back to Noah about her run-in with his ex and assured her beau she didn’t consider Audra a threat to their happiness.
