Adam got knocked out by Billy Abbott. He admitted that he’s changed and actually feels bad for his archnemesis. However, fans of The Young and the Restless don’t believe that Adam redeemed himself.

Key Takeaways

• Adam claims he’s a changed man.
• He credits Chelsea for bettering himself.
• Y&R fans claim he’s been rewarded for his bullying behavior.
• They fear he could end up like his father, Victor.

Has Adam Newman Been Redeemed?

That’s the question that the Y&R fans have debated over. On one soap opera message board, the original poster noted, “Other than being a caring parent, I find no redeeming qualities in Adam.”

Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) claims he’s a changed man. He credits Chelsea (Melissa Claire Egan) for the way he handled his situation with Billy (Jason Thompson). Though he taunted him, which warranted a punch in the face, Adam admitted he felt sorry for Billy.

The original poster pointed out that Adam is a bully who gets rewarded for his behavior. This was evident in his interaction with Billy, whom he claimed would fail.

“Other than loving his son, he’s a jerk. IMO. I’m worried, when Connor grows up, he’ll turn into the bully that Victor did to him,” the person warned.

Most fans agree with the original poster’s sentiments. One person wrote, “They have made Adam into a bully. I hate that they have done this to Adam.”

Someone else asked, “I don’t understand why Adam has the need to trade barbs with Billy every time he sees him.”

Mini Victor Newman in the Works?

Other fans fear that Adam could end up like his father, who’s the ultimate bully. He always has to make sure that he wins in the end.

One person commented, “Adam has become just a minion for his father right now. His relationship with Chelsea is dull, dull, dull. He had life with Sally, and when he was in conflict with Victor!”

Not all of the comments were negative. There are some viewers who still love Adam, even when he’s chiding Billy. And there are others who think he’s just misunderstood and his weaknesses are just part of his persona.

According to the Y&R spoilers, Adam will devise a bold new scheme against Billy, despite claiming he has changed. Fans are getting tired of his relentless feud with Billy.

Another person argued, “I do like Adam, I think a lot of the time his talents are being wasted on pettiness, like when he starts in on Billy, I don’t find that entertaining at all!”

Someone else noted, “Adam is simply at his best when he is on the outs with his family. The minute he gains their acceptance is the minute he turns into them.”

Adam had a brief moment where he realized he could use Cane’s (Billy Flynn) AI program to take down his own father. However, he reverted to being his father’s puppet five minutes later.

What are your thoughts? Do you agree that Adam has turned into a bully? Or do you think he has redeemed himself?
