SOAPnet Interviews "Evil Adam"
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.

Yes Adam is certainly devious but the Newmans deserve everything he has done to them
I have been watching this show for 20 yrs now its the only soap I watch besides Bold & the beautiful.I think bringing Adam in the show was smart,hes evil like his father Victor.I do agree sharon and nick needs to be togeother and Philsis needs to be gone.Sharon will find out about her baby!!!
IT SEEMS MOST OF THE COMMENTS BY VIEWERS ARE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE. THE WRITERS SHOULD TAKE A STEP BACK AND LISTEN TO THEIR VIEWERS. MOST OF THE RECENT PLOTS HAVE GONE ON WAY TOO LONG, JUST GET ON WITH IT AND SETTLE SOMETHING AND MOVE ON TO OTHER BELIEVEABLE PLOTS THAT DON'T MAKE US VIEWERS SEEM STUPID TO EVEN THINK THINGS COULD HAPPEN THE WAY Y&R PRESENTS IT. FOR INSTANCE THE BABY SWITCH AND ALL THE THINGS ADAM HAS GOTTEN AWAY WITH. BABIES BEING BORN ONE WEEK AND 3 MONTHS LATER IS IN SCHOOL. JUST GET REAL...
I just got hooked on the young and restless and just love the show it's a great soap
Why do you writers not want to listen to your fans? I can not stand the character of Adam(evilness)!! I know that you writers seem to live that fact, so you are NOT going to do anything about him!! That is ok!! I will STOP WATCHING this show once more!! Every time you have a scene with Sharon & his evilness, I get sick to my stomach!! The fact that the head writer is a woman & lets this kind of story line keep on is nauseating!! The fact of Ashley having a miscarriage & then her abdomen keeps getting bigger, then goes into "labor" & gives "birth" is totally barbaric!! NO WOMAN would NOT know that she had had a miscarriage first of all!! Then you letting Sharon go through loosing a second daughter is nothing less than horrible writing!! Get JUST A LITTLE realism back into this show!!! Adam is SUPPOSED to be blind, but he can get around with his evilness where ever he wants!! Now you are trying to make us feel sorry for him!!! Give us a BREAK!!! he will NEVER NEVER NEVER GET ANY SYMPATHY FROM MOST OF US!!!
Adam is the most diabolical character on Y&R since. . . . . Victor! Without Adam who would be Victor's successor? Nick is way too honest & soft. Victoria seems to have lost her edge over the years & no one else is "Victor" enough to do the job. If you've been watching this show long enough then you remember when when was the most cutthroat sob in Genoa City. Oh, wait a minute, he still is! Everyone loves Victor now, & trust me, everyone will come to love Adam.
Now Phyllis. There's a character who needs die off!
I CANT STAND ADAM PLZ DO U LISTEN TO UR VIEWERS WE HATE HIM ... NICK AND SHARON NEEDS TO BE BACK TOGETHER ASAP
I think that the young and the restless was better off without Adam. He is a jerk, liar and darn right nasty Guy! As for Sharon she needs too have the truth about her baby and get her Faith back and drop that good for nothing Adam she is married too!
i love the y&r but if yall don't put sharon and nick back together i'm not going to watch it anymore. sharon doesn't belong with adam. what are yall going to do next.
IN MY OPION NICK BELONGS WITH SHARON NOT WITH ADAM I MEAN HE STOLE HER BABY, HE IS A RAVING JERK
