The Young and the Restless Spoilers: Y&R Pressured to Bring Adam Newman Back – Paternity Secret Sets Up Custody Battle

The Young and the Restless (Y&R) spoilers tease that Chelsea (Melissa Claire Egan) will continue to keep a huge secret from Nick (Joshua Morrow). Christian’s (Jude and Ozzy McGuigen) paternity is something that’s still on the minds of viewers. This little boy actually belongs to Adam (Justin Hartley), but Chelsea and Victor (Eric Braeden) have agreed to stay quiet for Nick’s sake.

Sally Sussman, the head writer of the CBS soap, has been reluctant to write Adam Newman back into the show. She’s indicated in interviews that she has no plans to stir up paternity drama. Sussman feels like Adam just isn’t needed, but many Young and the Restless fans would disagree.

It would be nice if the show would try to shake things up. No one objects to building meaningful romances and creating couples to root for. However, soaps can become boring if that’s all they focus on.
Exciting storylines and life-changing secrets are arguably just as important as the relationships. In other words, it’s all about balance.

Throwing an Adam recast in the mix would definitely please plenty of Y&R watchers. Sussman wasn’t on board with the idea initially, but that doesn’t mean she’ll be against it forever. As a note, CDL’s recent poll showed approximately 90% of fans want Michael Muhney back as Adam Newman.

After all, people higher on the Y&R chain of command might demand it. There’s actually been some buzz about that. Even Sussman herself might decide the show needs a bit of a boost. It certainly couldn’t hurt to put Adam back on canvas. In fact, it would help The Young and the Restless by setting up some long-awaited reunions.

Of course, Adam doesn’t have to be around for the paternity revelation. Let’s say Nick discovers the truth while Adam is out of the picture. He would undoubtedly be devastated by this shocking news. Chelsea could assure Nick that he can raise Christian like Adam planned, but his world would still be turned upside down.

Nick and Chelsea would likely break up over trust issues. He would also owe Sharon an apology for how he treated her after Sully’s real identity came out. Nick would finally understand how much it hurts to think a child is your own and suddenly find out it’s not true.

This could bring Sharon and Nick much closer. They might reunite to raise Christian with Chelsea’s blessing. That’s when Adam could come back on the scene. Adam might decide that he wants his boys to be raised together. A nasty custody battle could ensue.

Doesn’t all of this sound like must-see TV?! Let’s hope Y&R gets something like this going soon. We’ll give you updates as more details emerge. Stay tuned and don’t forget to check CDL often for the latest Young and the Restless spoilers, updates and news.
