The Young and the Restless spoilers tease that Noah (Robert Adamson) appears to have chosen a Marisa Sierras (Sofia Pernas) type, continuing what has become a pattern of involving himself with troubled women. Hey pal, at least listen to this advice before it’s too late? Instead of allowing yourself to fall hard for Tessa Porter (Cait Fairbanks) consider going solo indefinitely.
But let’s rewind to Courtney Sloane (Kelli Goss) for a moment, in an effort to sway Noah’s mind. She was the hot blonde who who worked as an undercover operative for the Genoa City Police Department. So she wasn’t trouble. Instead, her profession involved stopping it. Unfortunately Courtney’s law enforcement efforts put her on Marco Annicelli’s (Peter Bergman) trail.
Crooked detective Mark Harding (Chris McKenna) worked for that Peruvian drug lord, who was also Jack Abbott’s (also Bergman) doppelganger. Victor (Eric Braeden) recruited Marco to assume Smilin’ Jack’s life in one of the most bizarre storylines in recent Y&R history. Harding eventually killed officer Sloane just prior to her marrying Noah.
The Marco arc enabled Pernas’ debut on the show, as her character was Anaselli’s former girlfriend. As the Marco drama played out, Marisa and Noah became a couple. However, Luca Santori (Miles Gaston Villanueva) was her ex-husband and they also had a child together, who was given up for adoption due to Mr. Santori’s family’s mob ties.
Luca eventually went to jail, but his reemergence in Marisa’s life allowed her to reconnect with their young daughter Ava (Londyn Silzer). While Noah and Marisa loved each other, Miss Sierras eventually decided to move to Spain to be with her daughter again.
Tessa, like Marisa is an attractive brunette. Along with Courtney and Marisa, she’s smart and also cares for Noah. While their relationship is just blossoming, there’s clear potential for deep romance between these characters.
Then Zach (Ryan Ashton) appears one day. He’s a new character who met with Abby (Melissa Ordway) to discuss her authorizing an investment in his dating app company. Tessa spots him and freezes. She later admits to Noah that a guy from her past is in town and that she plans to leave Genoa City.
Fairbanks has quickly proven to be a solid addition to the cast. So it seems very unlikely (make that impossible) that Tessa is going anywhere. However, the Marisa-Luca link appears to have been reestablished. As viewers wait to see what happens with Zach and Tessa, Noah and Tessa or all three corners of a potential triangle, the focus shifts back to Adamson’s character.
Hey pal, we know Tessa’s very appealing. But can’t you just get your mind off her? Oh, that’s right. Soap operas are about matters of the heart. Cue the credits and the previews. Now, fade to black.
