‘The Young and the Restless’ fans oppose Tessa Porter and Noah Newman’s reunion

When Noah returned to The Young and the Restless, he and Tessa were bound to run into each other. Their relationship didn’t end on amicable terms; however, the two have made peace and moved on. Tessa and Noah have been spending time together recently. They first met up in Tuscany for Victoria Newman’s (Amelia Heinle) wedding.

With Noah back in Genoa City permanently, the two will be seeing more of each other. While Tessa and Noah are just friends, the show seems to be hinting at a romantic reunion with the pair. Tess and Noah’s possibly rekindling their romance isn’t going well with fans.

The Young and the Restless fans voiced their displeasure on a Twitter thread. “If you only brought him back to stir up trouble between the only same-sex couple, then you should’ve left him in London,” wrote one user. Another commenter chimed in with, “More Tessa is great! Her & Noah as friends is fine, but implication of more is insulting & offensive.”

Tessa Porter dumped Noah Newman for Mariah Copeland

Long before Tessa became involved with Mariah, she dated Noah. Tessa and Noah met while working for his grandmother Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott). Tessa won the approval of Noah’s family, including his sister Mariah. The two women formed a close friendship that took an unexpected turn during a trip to San Francisco.

While Noah and Devon Hamilton (Bryton James) were away, Tessa and Mariah stayed in the hotel room. During a heartfelt conversation, the two kissed. Although they tried to forget what happened, Tessa and Mariah realized they were in love. Eventually, they confessed to Noah about their kiss. Hurt by their betrayal, Noah broke up with Tessa, then moved to London.

Will the exes reunite?

The Young and the Restless appears to be setting the stage for a Tessa and Noah reunion. Noah is a single man after breaking up with his London girlfriend. While there are plenty of available women in Genoa City, Tessa is the one on his radar.
