Another week, another new addition to the cast. Or, in this case, two. Lucas Adams is joining the show as Noah Newman, Nick (Joshua Morrow) and Sharon’s (Sharon Case) long-missing son. Adams previously played Tripp Johnson on DOOL.
Noah was last portrayed by Rory Gibson, who has since gone on to play Michael Corinthos on General Hospital. The character last appeared onscreen in 2023, when he left town with his girlfriend, Allie (Kelsey Wang). Look for Adams to begin airing as Noah this fall.
Meanwhile, Matt Cohen, who played Duke Lavery’s (Ian Buchanan) long-lost son, Griffin Munro, on GH and went on to work as a correspondent for Entertainment Tonight, has been cast in a new role. Cohen will be playing Detective Burrow, a new cop on the Genoa City scene. He’s already begun filming and is slated to make his debut on October 16.
Cait Fairbanks continues to get prominent screen time as Tessa Porter. On Tuesday, September 9, she interacts with Michael Graziadei’s Daniel and Camryn Grimes’ Mariah.
