The Young and the Restless (Y&R) spoilers tease that Adam Newman’s (Mark Grossman) future could lie in Chelsea Newman’s (Melissa Claire Egan) hands. Y&R fans know Adam’s been awfully ruthless since he returned to Genoa City. He’s always been a complex character with a sneaky side, but he wasn’t quite this cruel before Justin Hartley departed the role.
Of course, the recast brought an opportunity for a reset. The Young and the Restless has chosen to make Adam darker and edgier, so that’s led to a mixed reaction. Some Y&R viewers are loving the changes in Adam. Grossman certainly pulls off this callous, smug version of Adam very well. Others thing Y&R could stand to tone it down and make Adam a bit more lovable.
Once Chelsea reenters the picture, she may dictate which direction the character leans in. Adam is doing whatever it takes to get his family back, so Chelsea might be the one person he’ll listen to. The question is: Will Chelsea soften Adam or fully embrace his dark side? The Young and the Restless spoilers say the answer could be tricky.
Chelsea nearly kidnapped Christian Newman (Jude and Ozzy McGuigen) before she left town, but she ultimately realized he belonged with Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) and left him behind. However, she could easily revert to her original impulse and insist Adam deserves Christian. Nick shut Chelsea out when she tried to contact him, so that’ll be a strike against him.
Plus, Nick doesn’t even want to tell Chelsea that Adam is alive. If she finds out another way, Chelsea’s going to be furious that Nick left her out of the loop. Chelsea also wasn’t on great terms with Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) when she exited, so that could be another issue. It could serve as one more reason for Chelsea to support Adam turning against his father and everyone he’s connected to.
However, things could get complicated if Victor lets bygones be bygones. Since he might take care of Chelsea’s legal woes like he took care of Adam’s, how will she feel then? What if Nick makes an emotional plea and urges Chelsea to remember what they once shared? He might help Chelsea see that Christian needs to be with him. All of this could leave Chelsea incredibly torn.
Regardless, The Young and the Restless spoilers say Chelsea could hold some serious power. Will she be able to sway Adam one way or the other? Will Chelsea root for the darkness to take over in Adam or try to put them both on a better path?
