The Young and the Restless: Actors playing Faith Newman on the show

Soon after, Alyvia stepped into the role as Faith began to grow up.
The Young and the Restless: A brief sketch of Faith Newman
Faith Newman from The Young and the Restless is the result of a short affair between Nick Newman and Sharon Abbott. However, her paternity was doubtful for some time, as Jack Abbott and Billy Abbott were also possible fathers. A paternity test put the question to rest.
Faith was born at Fairview Sanitarium, where Sharon was confined at the time. However, Nick's brother Adam kidnapped her soon after birth. Adam handed over the newborn to Ashley Abbott as Ashley's baby. After Sharon's marriage with Adam, the truth about the kidnapping came out, and Faith returned to her mother.
Faith was sent to boarding school since her parents separated and had other partners. Moreover, Sharon faced many issues, starting with being wrongly convicted of murder, being diagnosed with bipolar disease, and finally, fighting cancer. Sharon's breast cancer has kept Faith in Genoa City since she wanted to provide her mother with much-needed emotional support.
Faith has gone through a lot in her young life. She saw her parents fight, have different partners, lie, and cheat. Moreover, after her story became public, she faced cyberbullying. When she befriended Jordan, she was manipulated into drinking and disrepute.
Faith has a complicated relationship with Adam Newman. While Adam kidnapped her at birth, he has also saved her life multiple times. When Sharon and Faith were stuck in a tornado, Adam used his body as a shield to save baby Faith. Later, when a drunk Faith crashed a truck, Adam found her and took her to the hospital.
Finally, and possibly the biggest, favor was when Faith was diagnosed with interstitial nephritis. Adam, being the only match, donated a kidney to save her life.
What are the recent developments in Faith's life on The Young and the Restless?
In recent episodes of The Young and the Restless, Faith breaks free from Jordan's influence and learns to trust her parents.

After returning home from school during the summer, she faced another ordeal when psychotic Cameron Kirsten kidnapped her and strapped a bomb onto her. Nick and Sharon rescued her on time, while Chance defused the bomb. Shaken by the event, Faith has left for campus.
