Brief Character History

Sharon Collins married Nick Newman, son of wealthy industrialist Victor Newman. Sharon, being insecure in her marriage, skipped her birth control pills and told Nick she "accidentally" got pregnant. Nick tried to convince Sharon to have an abortion, feeling that they were not ready to become parents. Sharon nearly went through with it, but backed out at the last minute. Months later, Sharon fell on some ice and landed on her stomach. Baby Noah Christian Newman was born prematurely. When it appeared that Noah was going to die, Sharon's best friend Grace Turner and her boyfriend Tony Viscardi tracked down the baby Sharon gave up as a teenager in Madison, to help Sharon ease the pain of her loss. They returned with Cassie, then 5 years old. But Noah lived.

When Cassie was only 14, she was seriously injured in a car accident. She was getting better until she walked out of the hospital in search of Daniel Romalotti who was accused of driving the car, and she was later found and returned to the hospital in bad shape. Anxiously, her family held vigil while Cassie's fever escalated and Newman-financed specialists arrived too late to help. Victor, Nikki, Victoria, Noah, and Cassie's Grandma Doris, who arrived from her home in Eau Claire, sadly said their goodbyes and I love yous, and left her alone with Nick and Sharon. One last whisper in Nick's ear that the accident wasn't Daniel's fault, as he chokingly sang her a lullaby while Sharon hugged her, we saw flashbacks of the adorable child Cassie-the light of their lives-Cassie slipped away.

The memorial service was touching with memorial speeches given by Victor, Nikki, and Sharon. Noah placed Cassie's doll Cindy on her casket with a tear in his eye. During Nick's speech, which was more a threat against Daniel, he spotted Phyllis who had snuck in the back, spoke right at her, then marched to her afterward and demanded she leave. Jack ushered her out in embarrassment.

Life got rough for Noah, losing his sister so young, and with his parents so caught up in the death, he began acting out, throwing tantrums and saying hateful things. Sharon handled her loss, mostly just feeling responsible for letting Cassie go out that night and regretful for all the things Cassie missed out on in her life. Meanwhile Nick was angry, refused to accept any responsibility, and was out for revenge against Daniel. Daniel was charged with vehicular manslaughter, and he ran out on his bail, with Nick and Phyllis in hot pursuit, to California. It was later proven that Cassie was driving, but Noah's parents were torn apart by their loss and Nick's not being there for Sharon when she needed him most.

Months later, Nick began an affair with Phyllis who got pregnant, and Nick and Sharon were divorced. Then Sharon had an affair with Brad Carlton. Noah's new half-sister, Summer, was born, and Noah was thrilled. Then Nick and Phyllis were married, and Jack and Sharon were married with Noah as best man. They got Noah into therapy and gave him a puppy, who he named Fisher, to try to get him to stop acting out. Then Sharon and Nick went on a photo shoot, but their plane went down with everyone thinking they were dead. But Sharon hadn't been on the plane and returned. Nick was presumed dead for a month-further increasing Noah's anguish. Nick returned injured and with a memory loss of the past two years. But Phyllis was going to prison for extortion, and Noah was losing another person in his life. No wonder the kid was acting out and telling everyone he hated them! He even locked Fisher in the closet, "putting him in jail for being bad." Noah began seeing a psychologist, and appeared to be a pretty normal kid.

One day everyone in GC seemed to be at Clear Springs when its underground parking structure and casino collapsed, trapping several of them inside. Sharon, Jack, and Nick were there to scout for a photo shoot. Nick was knocked out, and Jack pinned by debris, but Nick awoke and got Jack free. Sharon's leg was sprained, but they managed to find an opening in the rubble. Jack levered it open so that Nick and Sharon could escape, leaving him there still trapped. While waiting for rescue, Jack wrote a note to Sharon confessing how much he loved her. Meanwhile Amber crawled out of her crushed car and made her way to an elevator, finding Kay bruised and dirty inside, having been left there while her grandson Cane and JT crawled up the shaft for help. Also trapped were Adrian Korbel with a very pregnant Victoria, and Lauren and Noah trapped with Paul. Nikki and others stood vigil on the outside, waiting while rescuers cleared rubble and tried to get to the victims. Phyllis, still in prison, heard about it on TV, got no answer on Nick's cell phone, and got the news when she called Victor. Sharon and Nick walked out of the rubble, asking rescuers to go back for Jack. The rescuers said it was too dangerous, that methane was escaping and about to blow up, so our hero Victor, went in and rescued his worst enemy. Cane and JT made it out, but Cane fooled them into believing he'd had rescue training in Australia, and went back to rescue Kay and Amber. Sharon and Nick were relieved when Noah came out on a stretcher. Noah later had his spleen removed as a result of his injuries. Then the dead body of the construction foreman was removed. The reason Cane and Kay were there was to investigate him for shoddy work and kickbacks. Finally, Korbel and Victoria emerged, just as the methane blast occurred. Victoria was hit on the head with a rock, knocked out, and rolled down the pile of debris.

In June 2008 Noah went away to summer camp at age ten, and returned in August fifteen years old and getting into trouble with his buddies who are into drinking beer and partying. He convinced his parents to let him attend Genoa City High School instead of Walnut Grove. Noah was rebuffed and called a loser by newcomer Eden, who is Michael Baldwin's half-sister, when he tried to befriend her. One night both were invited to a party in a warehouse. When Noah arrived he realized he was tricked into convincing his parents it was chaperoned and no drinking, then Eden stole his cell phone when he tried to leave. Out past curfew, Nick and Sharon burst in on the party and took Noah home just as the police were showing up and Eden sneaking away.

Noah has since taken an interest in Eden, and persuaded her to go on a French Class trip to France. The trip went well and Noah was enjoying Paris, but Eden was bored and wanted to see the real Paris where her mother grew up. Meanwhile Sharon arrived to meet Noah and do some sightseeing with him, but has run into Nick who is there to find Victor. Eden and Noah went to the Père Lachaise Cemetery where Jim Morrison was buried, Eden opened up to Noah about her mother who grew up in Paris, and they ended up in an embrace. But they were interrupted by some young thugs who stole the necklace Eden's mother had left her, and roughed up Noah. Eden got away and called the police. The thugs got away dropping the necklace which Noah retrieved, and Noah and Eden were taken to the police station until Sharon was located and picked them up. Noah and Eden are becoming close and kissing when they can get away with it, since they are now forbidden to see each other because of the trouble they got into in Paris.
