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!

The actor Michael Muhney is a very good actor,but his character Adam,has no heart,his character has nothing to make him human,he does'nt seem to know how to love any one.His hatred was at first towards VICTOR the dad who was not there,so everyone in his path becomes collateral damage?arderyd;ADAM does not have a genuine bone in his body,you better watch out if you are beginning to love Adam,I thought he was supposed to be blind by now!
You had better get Adam and Sharon and that redicilous plot off the show or you will lose another viewer. How stupied do you think the viewers are. For storyline like this is the same reason why I stopped watching Days of Our Lives. I was a died hard viewer of Days of our Livess until they had a story line with Marlana throwing up green stuff and I haven't turn my channel to watch Days since that and that's exactly what is going to happen to Young in the Restless if you don't stop the madness.
Adam redeeming qualities? When he gives birth to a baby for Ashley,confesses to Sharon & returns Faith to Sharon where she belongs.The BadBoy,ruthless character brought to life by Mr.Braden will never be achieved by ADAM.Ms.Thomas'cameo during the holidays only served to confuse.A soap opera of the caliber we who are veteran viewers of this soap have enjoyed for years,i am 62y.TEASE not Torture is the key to devoted viewers,Rest assured WRITERS,we are not stupid.Bringing in younger actors who are being paid less,than the stars who made us,cry,laugh &get angry with each episode,Ah those were the days!!!!!
I'm loving Adam. Give me a complicated mutli-faceted villain over a cookie cutter villain any day. And I do think Adam's feelings for Sharon are genuine, I think they took him by surprise and he's still figuring it out, but I think he does love her. And if he loves her, then the harder it's going to be for him to fess up, he'd be too scared to loose everything good in his life. Michael Muhney's doing a great job, and here's hoping the writers and producers are planning on keeping him around, and keeping his character interesting for a long while.
I cannot stand this character and I'm not buying the load of bull that the actor is selling. He's no more in love with Sharon than he was with Heather. I can honestly say that after 35 years of continual viewing I have not watched this show for a full hour since the 1st day that Adam sat down in Sharon's living room. Enough is enough...get rid of this character!
I think the writers of The Young and Restless had better wake up before it looses all of the fans. Thye must think everyone is stupid. the story line about Sharon and Faith is ridiculious a baby bonds with its mother in its first weeks of life WAKE UP It has went on long enough.
WELL Y&R YOU DID IT AGAIN YOU HAVE PUT ANOTHER STAR IN ADAM CAP NOW HE IS THE HERO IN GC I GUESS EVERYONE WILL RALLY AROUND HIM FOR SAVING EDEN,NICRJR AND THE DOG.WHAT A BRAVE THING A BLIND MAN DID RINNING UP STAIRS AND CARRYING EDEN TO SAFTY AND THEN RUNNING BACK IN THE SMOKE FILL HOUSE AND RESCUREING THE DOG WHOA KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK BECAUSE I AM CONVINCE YOU ALL ARE GOING TO KEEP HIM AROUND AS LONG AS WE COMPLAIN ABOUT GETTING RIDE OF HIM.AS FOR SHARON SHE SEEM TO HAPPY WITH ADAM MAY BE ONE DAY THERE WILL BE AN END TO ADAM AND HE WILL GET WHAT HE DESERVE.
My Take on Adam is...all he ever wanted was to feel accepted by Victor as well as Victoria and Nicolas. When that didn't happen he started with he " I'll show you additude" showing how insecure he really is concerning the family, this turned into a chain of events that snow balled, (not to say that Adam didn't do wrong, he did.) but he didn't really want Ashly to loose her baby when she fell down the stairs after he was haunting her with Sabrinas ghost.
But now that he has found "true love " with Sharon we'll see ....so far I think he is ginuin about his feelings for her.
Parts of me likes Adam with Sharon, but will not be able to forgive his heinous act of switching her baby with Ashley's deceased one!! And what's the deal with his blindness? I just can't understand that one!
