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.

I AM SOOOO SICK OF ADAM HE'S BEEN GAY AND A LIAR AND A FREAK EVER SICK HE CAME ON THE SCENE. HE DON'T BRING NOTHING TO THE SHOW , I WANT HIM TO FALL OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH
why dont sheron remenber that adan told her that her baby was alive befor the plane crash?
This story line with Patty and Emily how fake.She's in a padded room but she has something to bleach Emily's hair.No one at the door and Emily so weak she couldn't fight back. Get this story done and over with. Get them both off.Didn't watch it yesterday and won't today cause of wedding. More on with the actors already more Victor and Nickie....
I like him and Sharon together too. But we all know this will never be.
Next to Victor, Adam is the best thing to ever happen to Y&R. Who ever cast Michael Muhney was a genius. He is an outstanding actor. He turns on the evil chemistry with character's such as Phyllis, Billy and Jack. He and Sharon have the hottest chemistry on the show without spending all their time in bed or smooching such as Jack and Emily and Nick and Phyllis seem to do. I hope the writer's can somehow bring him through the damage he has done and keep him on the show forever and keep him with Sharon and Faith to boot. He is definitely a "chip off the ole Victor block"
I disagree with those who say there is chemistry between Adam and Sharon. I don't call chemistry emotional dependence upon another for existence. That is all Adam represents to Sharon at the present moment. If and when Sharon discovers the truth about this pathological liar all chemistry will go down the drain. Adam has too many ghosts in the closet which are coming back to haunt him.
I never liked Adam but everything changed when Michael Muhney took the role. I have not stopped loving Adam even when he plays his selfish and manipulative character. Moreover, Sharon and Adam have this wonderful chemistry, let him not break her heart
i've always liked Adam on the show. He is good and evil. There is a chemistry with Sharon that Sharon & Nick never had. Just look at how many times they cheated on each other. I just hope that Faith doesn't turn out to be another "Rosemary's Baby".
Good grief. Adam's character is a waste of good air time. I leave the room whenever he comes into the picture. He says that he "loves" Sharon, but what he is experiencing is not love. I don't know what it is, but it's not love. A bizarre kind of fondness perhaps, but not love. The character of Adam doesn't have a clue. He cannot make up for what he has done. It's simply too horrendous. Keeping the lie about Faith is a perfect example of it. I enjoy a good villian as well as the next person, but Adam's character is absolutely an anti-social to the nth degree but without any charming qualities like most really good sociopaths.
The best thing for Adam is to go into a coma and never wake up cause that is about as much as that character adds to the show.
Better yet let him go completely off the deep end and become an advanced psycho serial killer that gets caught and kills himself to avoid prison.

I actually love Adam. He's great! I saw one day when it seemed if Victor was no longer gonna be on the show Adam was acting like the mean Victor. Give the guy a break, I have never hated Adam. I like him with Sharon too.
