We feel ya, Noah. As gold medalists in procrastination ourselves, we entirely understand why the Young & Restless legacy character wouldn’t have told girlfriend Allie yet that he stepped out on her and has fallen for his married lover, Sienna.

We all delay stuff, don’t we? Especially the stuff that’s gonna be hard to do.

But as soon as Noah is out from under the dark shadow cast over him by a back-from-the-dead Matt Clark — aka Sienna’s “better” half Mitch — he is going to have to man up and make that call to Allie to inform his significant other not only that their relationship is over but that it has been for a while now. As he told his new lover in the December 3 episode (recapped here), “she deserved better than me cheating on her.

“I want to tell her I still care,” he added, “and I’m sorry.”

Personally, we’d love to see Allie surprise Noah by showing up when he’s rescued, thereby forcing him to tell her face to face that he strayed. “And you still care?” we want her to say sarcastically. “Oh my God, thank you. That means so much coming from an unfaithful jerk!”

If Jack’s granddaughter shows some fire in that moment, perhaps she could reclaim a place in Genoa City. As it was the character was mostly written as “nice.” And any soap character will tell ya, “nice” will only take you so far.
