List of The Young and the Restless characters (2013)

Adriana Stone, portrayed by Jhoanna Flores, made her first appearance on January 7, 2013. The news of her casting was confirmed in December 2012 by co-star Robert Adamson, who portrays Noah Newman, on Twitter. He welcomed her to the soap opera, saying that he'll "keep it under wraps for now who she’s playing. But she’s doing a great job." ''CBS Soaps In Depth'' later announced that Flores would portray Noah's ex-girlfriend, Adriana. Previously, ''Soap Opera Network''s Errol Lewis reported that Flores "has joined the cast in an as yet to be determined role." Flores described her character in an interview, saying "she's bad news" and a "feisty seductress who has her own ideas about what is legal and what isn't." According to the actress, "[Adriana]'s fun to play and I think her relationship with Noah will excite the viewers." In April 2013, within four months of joining the cast, it was announced that Flores had been let go, and had already made her last appearance on April 9. A spokesperson from the soap opera confirmed that the role would not be recast.

Adriana showed up at Noah's doorstep and threw herself at him, despite the fact that she had cheated on him for someone else. However, she made it clear that she still had feelings for him. She learned that the half a million dollars in cash she sent him has been stolen. Later, Alex Chavez (Ignacio Serricchio), a New York detective who had been hassling Noah with questions about Adriana and the stolen money for months, finds Adriana at the Genoa City Athletic Club and confronts her. She denies knowing anything about the money. In reality, Chloe Mitchell (Elizabeth Hendrickson) and Kevin Fisher (Greg Rikaart) had stolen the stolen money from Noah's house. Alex and Adriana are then revealed to be siblings. After the stolen money mishap is resolved, Adriana is hired by Katherine Chancellor (Jeanne Cooper) as her personal assistant and restarts her relationship with Noah. However, Jill Abbott Fenmore (Jess Walton) believes Adriana is scamming Katherine, and later accuses her of stealing a piece of her jewelry. As a result, Adriana quits working for Katherine. She and Noah begin to discuss moving in together, but she abruptly disappears from Genoa City. Alex later mentions that Adriana is known to run away from serious relationships. Provided by Wikipedia
