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.

I think some people take soap operas a little too seriously, including myself. I really don't like Adam and I can't wait for Sharon & Ashley to find out the truth. These writers come up with some outrageous story lines!!! LOL!

Adam is lower than Satan himself. I can't stand Adam, I can't wait until everyone finds out all the evil deeds Satanadam has done since he came on the show.

Adam and Sharon deserve each other. LOL If it wasn't for them the story line would get boring. What a pair.

I wish people would quit wining about Adam we have to have something to look forward too. I still think that daisy and her brother are sheilas spawn . I guess we will find out,, Sheila tried to burn down her house with her own mother in it . The apple doesnt fall far frfom the tree. But if she still looks like phyllis that will take some work to switch them back i bet nick would never know hes gotten so dumb lately. CNt wait to see what happens next ill be wwatching... watchingnow

If it were not for the STUPID Viewers, there would not be a show. So keep your stupid remarks to yourself, and learn how to write.

I really cant understand adam's blindness. Any way from what i saw on the show the doctor is going to talk and sharon will get her baby,which will be good cause i want sharon and nick to get back together. I cant bother with phyliss she is too insecure she needs to know that what goes around will come back around. She took nick from sharon and let nick neglect sharon when casey died i cant wait to see the drama adam is going to get what he is working for cause he work hard and that is going back to jail

I have to say i too am so tired of the constant stupid complaints of some viewers! All i have to say is if you don't like the show then don't watch it.
People you need to seperate fiction from reality and in that way you will be more comfortable with the show!!
Vilians in reality are just as heartless or even more than in the show.

I Love Y&R and i wont stop watching it because the storyline is not going my way!!
In the show: people always chose to look past all the wicked stuffs that Victor does but when anyone less fortunate does it they dont get off as easy.
Alot of pepe blame adam but sharon it just as fool as he is.

Jo-Jo is spicing things up!! Love her.
I want Jack to give Emily a BAby! (So sweet)
paul needs to get rid of her deranged sister!!

Hey, if you really feel like that, giniwese & jenno, then I am happy to say that you are just a feeeew left watching the story!!!! I, for one, have not watched since the Adam stealing baby started!!! I just read all of your comments to get a perspective of whether or not I want to check the story out again!!! I hope all of you are happy with it!! I have better things to do with my time & other entertainment to pursue than be sickened with this trash story line!!! GOOD LUCK WITH THAT!!!!!! If the writers EVER decide to let Adam get caught, I might return! (MIGHT) I just watched this from the very beginning & dearly loved the entertainment of it, but can not stomach the bull any longer!!! Yes, there have been MANY story lines that I did NOT agree with, but I have NEVER been so annoyed or sickened by one as this!!! HAVE FUN WITH THE SHOW!!!!!

I am so tired of the complaining about the Adam/Sharon pairing. For gawd sakes this is classic soap stuff going on here. Sharon will get her baby back and who knows what will happen to Adam, either way I don't care. If this story bothers you so much don't watch, no wonder soaps are dying out.

I just don't get it. People will tolerate and accept and even love Phyllis who MURDERED Sasha, and who ran down and try to MURDER Christine and Paul, they root for her against Nick who has murdered no one! ROFL

And what about Michael Baldwin? He MURDERED Rebecca when she blackmailed him with those photos, ah, he is a loving father and husband right? ROFL And Victor who we all know MURDERED Walter Palin, then there is Jana who MURDERED Carmen Mesta, and Kevin who tried to MURDER Colleen. Give me a break. All of these MURDERERS are running rampant on the show but Adam, yes he must go. Puhleeez!

I love Adam, he is the best of the villains, give me more of him. No one was screaming they wanted Adam gone when Chris Engen was on the show and it was when he was on that most of the dastardly deeds were done! In fact, Chris Engen gave an interivew where he said he didnt understand all the fan support he had for his character.

All this anger is about people upset that Michael Muhney is not nearly as attractive as Chris Engen, the proof is right there and it can't be denied.
