Noah, as the headline says, is in the fight of his life as he recovers on The Young and the Restless. It’s so touch and go that Sharon has been

torn between supporting Mariah and waiting by Noah’s bedside. And all of Noah’s loved ones have gathered to hold vigil while they wait to see what happens!

 

 

Wait, no, strike that last one. That’s actually not what’s happening at all. Claire’s there — you know, the cousin he’s never met — but there’s no Faith or Summer, both of whom are his actual sisters. There’s at least an excuse for Mariah’s absence, but what about his grandparents? Are Nikki and Victor too busy? Isn’t family everything?

 

 

Shouldn’t Victor be at the hospital shouting at the poor doctors to do everything they can and more to make this right, dammit?!

And then there’s Allie. Supposedly she and Noah are still together, but how serious can it be if she’s not by his bedside as he fights for his life? Maybe she’s worried she won’t like his new face once it’s revealed. Somehow, we doubt that. So yeah, we can definitely see Tessa catching his eye again when he wakes up and realizes his girlfriend has been MIA.

 

 

 

And all of this is driving quite a few fans crazy. As Di puts it on X, “[Claire] being involved in Noah’s story while his sisters and other family members are nowhere to be found is an example of everything wrong with this show.”

 

 

 

We don’t know that we’d declare it quite an embodiment of everything wrong with the show, but it is certainly baffling how isolated Noah is, especially in a family like the Newmans. And yes, according to spoilers, this week Victoria and Nikki will finally make it out to Los Angeles, too, but at this point, it could be too little, too late to win fans back over.
