Muhney, who played the character since 2009, was fired from the series in December after he allegedly groped his co-star, Hunter King, TMZ reported.
Young and the Restless executives are reportedly still on the hunt for Muhney’s replacement, but his fans say no one else can fit the role.

@michaelmuhney I guess there isn't any hope of MM playing Adam Newman again. #turnoffshownow — carol reaby (@carolreaby) July 16, 2014
So evidently it's insanely hard to recast Adam Newman. If it's given y'all a headache why not resolve the issues with Muhney? Just sayin #YR — Jeffrey Davies (@teeveejeff) July 12, 2014
@YandR_CBS you cannot recast Adam Newman and expect fans to accept him ! Bring Michael Muhney back and get rid of Summer that's a thought. — Susie Adams (@Spflygirl87) July 13, 2014
The 39-year-old actor spoke about his departure with Huffington Post Canada TV that month and revealed what he believes is the real reason.
"Part of me feels this is because I've always been outspoken, and sometimes I've been too outspoken. Sometimes I've walked around with a big backpack full of hubris. That is entirely on me," he said.
"If I'm going to claim to be a grown man, I have to own that. But it could be financial or story. It was explained to me that CBS and Sony want to give Adam a break for 3-6 months and then they'll bring him back with a different actor."
