Y&R Hires Kevin Schmidt to Play Noah Newman!

Tuesday, July 29 2008


Kevin Schmidt (MySpace)
Well Soaps.com readers, it appears as though there has been another case of 'rapid aging syndrome' on our beloved Y&R! Actor Kevin Schmidt, who is twenty years old, has been hired to play Noah Newman, who recently left for summer camp as a twelve year old! When Noah, the son of Sharon Collins Newman Abbott (Sharon Case) and Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow), returns on August 13th he will be a young man, no longer a boy. What will this mean for his mother and stepfather, Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman)? And how will Nick and Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) cope with a pair of twenty-something sons to deal with, in addition to their young daughter, Summer?

The actor hired to jump into the role is Kevin Schmidt. He is best known for his role in "Cheaper By the Dozen" and "Cheaper By the Dozen 2", but has also held roles on television in such series as "Numb3rs", "Without A Trace", and "CSI: NY". He currently has a project called "Princess Protection Program" in post-production as well.

Born on August 16th, 1988, Kevin is one of a trio of acting siblings. His brothers Kenneth and Kendall are also in the business.

From Teen Scene magazine to the soap world, Soaps.com wishes Kevin the best as he makes his debut on Y&R! For more on Kevin, visit his MySpace Page!

I don't understand why soaps do this age jump thing. It's too confusing. Does mean a big story line coming up for Noah, Sharon, Jack, Nick, & Phylis?

the son is going to look older than the parents before long!

Good gravy! And some folks thought I was crazy for thinking Amber might be the baby Jill gave away. I'll bet the older Noah will get involved with Jana and then Kevin will freak out and go back to his sicko ways.

This is ridiculous! I don't understand these big jumps in age!? Is the show thinking that we just won't notice!? Age if you want to, slowly, but not by 8 years!! Come on Y&R...

This is a bit much. Whatever happened to being a teenager first. They just skipped right on passed that.

Guess no one wants to deal with the teen sex topic like what's goin' on over at ATWT. Just skip past those puberty years and head straight on to full blown adultery. The last teen topic ended up with poor beloved Cassie dyin'. And didn't Lily marry Daniel at a very young age?

Completely and utterly ridiculous.

What in the world is going on??? I mean the boy went away to summer camp and now he's coming back as a senior in high school.... Boy I can't wait to see how this plays out!!!!

As if teenage boys have time for summer camp! What happened to sports, girls and the part time job?

I suppose we'll hear that he was at camp as a counselor, or something.
