‘The Young & the Restless’ Spoilers: Noah Defends Sienna
GettyOn Tuesday, Sharon gets emotional as she learns Noah is leaving town. “The Young and the Restless” spoilers say she’s also devastated about Mariah.
“I should have gone to Boston. Mariah needed me, but I stayed in LA with Noah,” Sharon blames herself. Nick embraces her, telling her it’s not her fault.
Noah arrives and asks what they’re talking about, but Sharon says she needs to go talk to Tessa. Sienna heads out, too, so Noah and Nick can talk alone.
Nick fills Noah in about Mariah abducting Dominic, adding that Sharon needs all the support she can get right now. “Will you please delay your trip?” Nick asks his son.
Noah agrees to stay. Nick then asks if he really thinks LA is the right place for him. Noah insists he has to go and be with Sienna, adding that he’s in love with her.
“I do not question you have feelings for her,” Nick explains. “I just question that one day you’re going to wake up and realize this relationship is not what you thought it was.”
“The Young and the Restless” spoilers say Noah gets defensive. He claims Sienna is very different from his exes, including Allie.
Sienna Doubts Herself
Meanwhile, Sienna runs into Claire at the Newman ranch. Claire asks if she’s going back to LA with Noah.
“He might be coming back with me,” Sienna replies, but Claire senses something’s wrong.
Sienna admits she’s not sure if she’s the right fit for Noah. “I like my life in LA, despite the challenges,” she explains, adding that she doesn’t think Noah would fit into that life.
Their conversation turns to Holden Novak and Audra Charles. “The Young and the Restless” spoilers say Claire asks Sienna what she knows about her rival’s past.
Sienna tells Claire she has no proof, but she’s sure it’s more than just a stolen wallet. “I’d like to do some digging,” Claire tells Sienna. “I’m curious what exactly happened to him.”
‘The Young & the Restless’ Spoilers: Sharon Looks for Answers
GettyAt the coffee shop, Sharon and Tessa discuss Mariah’s abduction of Dominic. “She took Dominic, I don’t get it,” Tessa tells Sharon. “She loves that little boy.”
Sharon says she thought Mariah was getting the help she needed. Tessa wonders if the clinic did this to her.
Sharon explains that if she was Mariah’s therapist, it’d look to her like she’s had a complete mental breakdown. She hopes that’s not the case at all.
Tessa also wonders why Mariah goes after Dominic and not Aria. “Is it possible somebody planted this idea in her head to kidnap Dominic?” she asks. Sharon suggests perhaps Ian Ward is the root of this whole ordeal.
