The Young and The Restless spoilers and updates tease Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver) will reel when she learns who her replacement is.

Since Audra refused to work out of the London office when Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) offered it to her, Noah Newman (Rory Gibson) will take her place!

The Young And The Restless Spoilers: Noah Newman Is Audra Charles’ Ex

Of course, Noah is Audra’s ex and whether he really hurt her so bad, she definitely hurt him bad-after he returned to Genoa City she claimed she miscarried his child.

Of course, at the time it could have been a sympathy ploy to lure him back from his new love Allie Nguyen, (Kelsey Wang) Jack Abbott’s (Peter Bergman) granddaughter.

So Audra found herself fired and she’ll just have to deal with it, although Nikki did offer good references and a generous severance package.

Firing Audra did leave Nikki in the lurch without a COO, and the timing was bad since Claire Grace (Hayley Erin) won’t be ready to return for a while. Jack promises he’ll help Nikki and he’s going to fix the situation that leaves Nikki drowning in work and vulnerable to drinking.

Y & R Spoilers: Nikki Newman Won’t Like Jack Abbott’s First Suggestions

But Nikki won’t like Jack’s first suggestions for a replacement for Audra, and her family members at Newman Enterprises are pretty much taken. Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) named Nick and Adam Newman (Joshua Morrow, Mark Grossman) as his co-CEOs, so they’re all tied up working those jobs.

Besides, she’d never trust Adam and it would be the same for Nate Hastings (Sean Dominic) and Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope) is completely out of the question.

As for Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) she’s on an indefinite family leave to help Claire, but then Jack has an epiphany and tell her he thinks he has the perfect person.

Nikki will push Jack to tell her who he means but he’ll have to do a little investigation first and make sure he’ll be willing.

The Young And The Restless Spoilers: What About Noah Newman?

Jack suggests Nikki’s grandson Noah-who just happens to be Audra’s ex as well; there’s nothing suggesting Audra is leaving Genoa City, but Noah’s portrayer Rory Gibson is returning.

Whether he’ll have Allie with him is a question since they’ve been dealing with a long distance relationship for quite some time, him in London and her in Paris.

Once Noah arrives and goes to work, even if it is temporary until someone else is found, he and Audra won’t be able to help but run into each other eventually.

They may strike up a conversation and Audra will discover he’s her replacement at Newman Enterprises-Audra will reel! And if Allie comes with him, there’ll be even more drama ahead for the Newmans and the Abbotts!
