‘The Young and The Restless’ Cast News: Will Justin Hartley or Michael Muhney Return as Adam Newman?
"The Young and The Restless" character, Adam Newman, is at the center of the soap opera subject of cast returnees. Will Justin Hartley play him or will it be Michael Muhney?
A lot of fans of "The Young and The Restless" have not really recovered when Hartley left the soap opera. Somehow, many still hope that the 39-year-old actor would make a comeback as Adam Newman in the show.
The recent plot revelations has viewers expecting even more that Hartley might indeed drop by the show's set to take on the role of Adam once more. "The Young and The Restless" implied in one of its episodes that Adam is in fact alive and is recovering at some place, said iTech Post in a report.
Since Adam's return won't happen until next year, fans are alleging that for now, the character is just in the stage of planning to go back to his clan. A big reunion might ensue when this happens especially now that Sully is confirmed to be Christian.
According to insiders, it is possible that Adam will reappear sometime between Jan. 26 and Feb. 22 of next year. It is during this time that Nielsen Ratings Sweeps will also transpire.
Hartley played Adam from November 2014. However, when the NBC drama series "This is Us" announced that his character will become a series regular, Justin chose the series and revealed his departure from Y&R. This was in September of this year.
With Hartley's seemingly busy schedule with his new drama series, some are speculating that he may not be able to play the role of Adam again. Fans' other favorite to come back to the soap opera and play the Newman character is Muhney. The 41-year-old actor played Adam right before Hartley assumed the role.
Muhney initially signed a contract in 2009 and in 2013, the actor informed viewers that he had signed another contract with Y&R which would end in 2015. However, in the last month of 2014, Muhney informed the media that the production team let him go.
This sudden decision upset many fans. Therefore, if ever Adam chooses to come back to the Newman clan, fans will be delighted as well if Muhney plays the role.
