The Young and the Restless has tapped Catherine Kresge to play Detective Annie Stewart, an LAPD cop assigned to investigate Noah Newman’s mysterious car accident. She arrives on-screen Thursday, November 20, with multiple episodes ahead as the case heats up in Los Angeles.
Key Takeaways
- Catherine Kresge debuts on November 20 as Detective Annie Stewart.
- Stewart leads the official probe into Noah’s crash and potential foul play.
- Her recurring role signals major movement in the LA storyline.
- Expect pressure on Sienna’s world, The Shadow Room, and late-night secrets.
- The Newmans may finally get answers — but not without new complications.
Who Is Detective Annie Stewart?
Detective Stewart is stepping into a case riddled with contradictions and red flags. Noah’s accident left him hospitalized, and while details have been murky, Stewart is here to collect evidence, question witnesses, and build a timeline — one that could expose dangerous connections hiding in plain sight.
Her arrival means no more informal digging from Nick (Joshua Morrow) and Sharon (Sharon Case) without police oversight. The investigation officially begins now.
A Recurring Role With Big Stakes
Kresge isn’t here for just a scene or two — the character will remain on the canvas for multiple episodes. That suggests fresh suspects, escalating tensions, and likely bombshell discoveries tied to LA nightlife and the people Noah (Lucas Adams) crossed paths with that night.
The Shadow Room and Sienna’s (Tamara Braun) connections are already under scrutiny, and Stewart’s presence means anyone withholding information will face real consequences.

When to Watch
