Noah and Audra on The Young and The Restless: What Happened Between Them?

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.

Audra later showed up at Noah’s club, hoping they could be civil, but he didn’t appreciate the way she had tried to make Allie feel insecure about their relationship. Audra claimed she missed Noah and what they had, and suspected he felt the same, insisting they had unresolved feelings. But he continued to make it clear that he wanted nothing more to do with her.

The Whole Truth

After some time had passed, Audra returned to the club, hoping to speak with Noah, who continued trying to avoid her. He maintained that their relationship had been toxic, and she countered that his romance with Allie seemed boring. Noah grew angry as he complained that she loved chaos and demanded to know what she wanted from him. Audra reminded him that they had enjoyed some good times together and how he’d once told her that nothing would tear them apart.

Noah insisted that none of that mattered anymore, but Audra disagreed, sniffing that it mattered a lot because of the baby they had made. He listened, stunned, as she explained how, towards the end of their time together, she’d discovered she was pregnant, but hadn’t wanted to tell him because she knew he would think she was just using that to get him back. Audra admitted she’d hoped to tell him when they made up — but that time they hadn’t, and then she miscarried.

Audra declared she’d lost her baby and Noah, and it was the hardest thing she’d ever had to endure. She insisted that she wasn’t blaming him, but needed to know that she hadn’t gone through all of that pain for someone who never cared about her. Noah apologized and gave her a comforting hug, which Allie arrived to witness. Later, he explained everything to Allie and assured his girlfriend that while he felt bad for what Audra went through, it hadn’t changed the way he felt about her.

Having given Noah some time to process the revelation, Audra then announced that she still had feelings for him and wanted to give their relationship another try. But when she kissed him, he pushed her away and vowed that a reunion would never happen. He insisted that he was in a good place now and had no interest in returning to the chaos that Audra brings.

Audra remained in Genoa City to forge a new life there while Noah left for Europe with Allie to open a Glam Club in London. But now Noah is back in town, having left Allie behind to get involved with a married woman, Sienna (Tamara Braun).
