SOAPnet Interviews "Evil Adam"

January 11, 2010 1:27 PM By Megan Lynn

Do you think being on Twitter helps? Why is it important to you to stay in touch with your fans?

 

"Thank god for Twitter! If I didn't have that and this was you know, 20 years ago, I imagine that there'd be a large group of people that thought I might just be cast because I'm evil, I play it so well or something.

 

My inspiration to be in touch with fans comes from a couple different experiences. One is the impression that Amber Benson had on me, a friend of mine who was on Buffy the Vampire Slayer for many years and then she and I did an independent film together that she produced. She was very accessible and kind of helped me understand on a larger level why it's a good thing. It's extra work, you know, it's more time that you put in -- but I don't know, it made a lot of business sense to me.

 

Then on the flip side, I had experiences as a young kid where I'd run into an athlete or something, and those who went the extra mile, who just took the moment to shake your hand and smile -- it stayed with me my whole life. I enjoyed hearing stories of people who seemed so down-to-earth regardless of their good fortune, and I wanted to emulate that."

 

Does Adam really love Sharon?

 

"Unequivocally, he loves Sharon 100%. You can argue as much logic as you want about what Adam has done and what he is doing. But any of us who've ever been in love know that pragmatism and love are two completely separate entities. You can't make sense of why he's done some things or continues to hide others. You can't argue: 'Well, if he loves her so much, why doesn't he let her know Faith is alive? Why doesn't he put Faith back in her arms?' It just becomes so complicated and convoluted as time goes on.

Phyllis isn't going anywhere,she's a fighter and she'll be fine,I think! She must get control of her fear of Nick & Sharon getting back together or she'll make it very easy for them to.Michelle Stafford is an awesome actress.

Think about it.... without Adam's storyline the show will be a big bore!!!yawn.... He is no worse than Jack and Victor....always bending the law to suit their needs and wants....Time for a YOUNG villain...to torment the families and let Jack and Victor take a vacation...Keep Adam he is the guy we all love to hate!! Boo Hoo Sharon and Ashley!! Keep us on the edge of our seats....good storyline!! Adam is just following in "BIG daddy's footsteps" arrogant and manipulative!!
ps ...all the babies on the soaps have the question....
who's your daddy?? Why not who's your momma?
Love Love Love Y&R!!!

I am tired of Adam getting away with things so good he is getting caught, and it is time for the daisy and rider story to end no one person should have that much power to continue to hurt and harm someone and get by with it now if these are shelia kids or what I know if shela comes back in this show I will be through watching it.....

At last the writers finally put into action the HOPEFULLY coming to conclusion of the evilness of Adam!!! Today was, in all actuality, a pretty good day on this soap!! The first one in about a year!! Maybe Maria actually read some comments!! I sure hope somebody did!! The fans have been really tired of the same ol' crap!!! I do not know if Sony got new blood in the writing pool or the writers got out of their slump, but it is FINALLY starting to look like my old show!!!(as of today) I just do not want the writers to prolong this baby thing!! GET SHARON HER BABY BACK!!! Let Ashley get her come upings too!! I have NEVER liked the character of Ashley since she was young!! She messed around with Victor, knowing he was married with children!! Victor needs his butt kicked too!! I want Adam to get caught & not just leave & not pay for what he has done!! I think most all of the fans feel that way!!............The writers DO NOT need to take Paul & Lauren down the path they are trying to get them on!!! Paul is the NICE guy on this show & deserves better than that!! Lauren is a good person, too, & needs to find out what that evil Daisy is doing to her!!! Don't let this Daisy/Ryder thing keep going for months!!! It is getting to be the boring thing like the baby switch story line!!! Get these story lines done & THEN get on to new ones!!! Let's see if these writers are ready & willing to give us fans the story lines that we deserve!!!!

Adam should get together with Patty Williams, they make a great couple. Also, they can adopt Ryder and Daisy.

Adam is a lot like Victor.....People this is all friction......... Summer is an adorable little girl and Nick is a great father he should remain her Dad..... Why can't Sharon be happy with someone else.

You ask for comments but do you ever read them (maybe for a good laugh) because nothing appears to change - you still keep the writers who cannot turn out a GOOD SCRIPT. Todays show was pathetic - I was about to turn it off more than once but kept it on just incase the storyline changed but it didn't - what a wast of time. Please, Please get some good writers otherwise it will be 'bye,'bye for me.
I feel sorry for the actors having to read such cr............
