SOAPnet Interviews "Evil Adam"
Do you ever try to figure out how Adam can get away with all this? Have his cake and eat it too?
"What's that saying in the Bible? 'Love is not selfish' ... but I think sometimes one can be selfish when they're trying to hold on to love. And I think if any of us were in this situation -- which, hopefully nobody reading this is ever in the situation where they've stolen someone's baby and are considering returning the baby -- we would be trying to come up with any angle that we could to do as little damage to one's self and the relationship, while returning the baby.
This isn't a quick fix. This is why Adam didn't just go: 'OK, let's sit down and talk. I want to tell you everything.' I think Adam thinks it's more destructive than it is good to just come right out and put everything under a bright light and a microscope. So he's procrastinating. It's that idea that a person can keep putting it off and think 'I'll find a way to fix this. Something will come about and expose itself as a wonderful opportunity to rectify this whole thing.' But he's finding that the more he puts it off, the harder and harder it gets to admit to what he's done because he's deeper in love ... and so is she.
To me, that makes it fascinating -- because whenever there is a reveal, it's going to be fireworks. Whatever happens, it's going to be scary; the stakes are going to be just about as high as they can be -- that's good drama. I think if the show were called Little House on the Prairie and aired in the middle of the afternoon, we wouldn't have gone this route. It would have been a lot less dramatic, and everyone would be smiling and happy and playing with puppy dogs and eating ice cream and looking at rainbows. But this is the nature of the beast. This is a hardcore drama, and this is a classic soap opera. You have to go through the pits of hell to come out clean on the other side."
Stay tuned for Part 2 -- Michael's take on having Eric Braeden back, who else Adam could face off with, and which Y&R actor is the funniest ... you'll be surprised!

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.
