According to a tweet by Robert Adamson, who portrays Noah Newman on CBS’ “The Young and the Restless,” daytime newcomer Jhoanna Flores has joined the cast in an as yet to be determined role. “@ jhoannamarissa welcome to #YR.. I’ll keep it under wraps for now who she’s playing. But she’s doing a great job!” read Adamson’s tweet.
It is widely expected, that Flores will be portraying Adriana Stone, Noah’s ex-girlfriend.
