John Burke To Debut As Chelsea’s New Husband On Y&R

104
He’s a very handsome man. I look forward to this Chelsea story!
Yes he is, very handsome man. Sexy silver fox. Lol.
Is Melissa Claire Egan returning permanently? If so, I hope her marriage to this Calvin guy ends because Chelsea & Adam are endgame. It will be interested to see the chemistry that Mark and Melissa have on screen, since both Michael Muhney and Justin Hartley had great chemistry with her. So far, Mark hasn’t really popped with Sharon Case, and I think it’s because of the age difference being so noticeable. That’s why I’m hesitant to see an Adam/Phyllis pairing, which is where I thought they were going with them. It may have worked with Gina’s version of Phyllis because… Read more »
Do not want Case with either of the Newman boys let her get out of that merry go round but the age difference doesn’t seem to bother people if it is a old man geezer pawing all over a woman twenty to thirty years his junior. Trust me even the new Adam said the crew was in awe of Case’s body in the fantasy love scene
I have never thought of Chelsea and Adam are endgame
Great post, Jimmy….. Sharon hasn’t popped with this Adam because she is more “Mommy” than “wifey”…… the imbalance is blinding–hurts my eyes, albeit I love Sharon. I’m not a fan of Chelsea, but, at least, she is closer in age. Stafford is even older than Case—so, we’re in agreement there, as well… I think there will be some competitive cat fights between Phyllis and Celeste—-over Jack!! Don’t know why!! The writers should stop putting Jack on the Adonis pedestal–he grosses me out–settle him down, please!! After all that exercise he engaged in with someone thirty-five years younger; one would think… Read more »
This Adam is way too young for this show. Period. He looks even younger than Noah. Awful.
He resembles the conartist/ hlf sibling of Ashley. Graham. Who swindled Dinah. Would ve been a nice twist if Graham got out of jail early( forget how he exited) and came across Chelsea in Genoa city and tracked her down for her $$.
Another nice twist is if Tracey recognizes John Burke as a her exlover who intruth was the cause of her divorce from Steve. It could amp up the cute Tracey/Cane story.
Regardless cant wait to see nuAdam who i luv bury this new character. This new Adam is ruthless
Is nuAdam hitting it out of the park or what? I love this guy!!!. I am with you on how the new character looks so much like Graham. At least we know with the newest Adam on board, there will be plenty of great scenes no matter what the story is with or without this new character being brought in.
He does resemble Graham. BTW, Graham is not Ashley’s half-sibling. I believe her bio-father was Graham’s stepfather.
What a great tutorial all of this is; twisting the real and professional presence is a challenge! Will read on!
Chadam! Sharon has come a long way and I hope they aren’t turning her into the gullible and erratic character she once was.
I think “Chelsea’s husband”should be on for years to come. He is a prime candidate to take over dark horse and run with it. Don’t bring him in and then drop him. Make him a recon to be forced with. Victor and Jack and him. Maybe even have his character take over Chancellor industries. Jill could sell to him. Billy could pair up with him from working to being his ally against Adam. There’s so much you could do with his character. And stop killing off all the kids and young adults, there won’t be a gone to be Erste… Read more »
Speaing of kids—shouldn’t the fake carnival be swarming with kids? Nary a one today…
I know, ..the writers from a few years ago, really botched up the kids storylines.
Sandy, I remember a time when all the soaps included children of all ages; not just teens…..yet, now, kids are to be neither heard nor seen. Sigh!!
Yes! I kept thinking, where are Johnny and Katie, while their silly parents are traipsing around the carnival?
Yeah…Look at the women’s footwear, Miss Violet– who goes traipsing through a carnival’s grounds on stilettos? ……or go on rides? And, their clothes–all dressed up. Go figure…..
I want Adam with Sharon
Yeah, well this Adam is a lot younger than Sharon’s son Noah, so there’s that.
sharons end game is nick
Yes, Richard—I have been saying the same for years—That’s their life’s story—get back together, break up, back together—neverendingstory..
I will be perpetually stuck on this couple. I was just a wide-eyed pre-teen when Nick and Sharon first started dating. WOW!! I fell for them instantly. So, I am not averse to them as a couple, no matter how many times they hook-up and break-up.
I wish they get rid of her. If they match her up with Nick,well same old story
Calvin Boudreau? LOL! He sounds more like a love rival for Devon and his girlfriend.
Excuse me??
Why do you need excusing? Ummmm..You’re excused?
Calvin Boudreau – Just curious why he would be associated with Devon and his new love interest?
Oh? And which one would his lover be, Devon or the girlfriend, forget her name? Kind of silly, don’t you think?
Thank you!
Britney Sarpey. Who went from playing Bobbie’s niece Valerie on GH to Y&R. I watched her entire story there as well. What’s so silly about that? I’m implying just what you and Lew think I’m implying.
I think you are implying that Calvin Boudreau sounds like a black name, which I think is unfortunate, because there are many white men with the name Calvin (Calvin Coolidge, Calvin Klein). The character is from the south, so it is not that uncommon.
That is what I implied because the name sounded so out of left field. But then I realized I watch Swamp People and the Cajun names in Louisiana and New Orleans and now it makes sense. It was too late, the response was out and that’s that. Oh well. Moving on.
Hi, Lew,
I can guarantee that dev means no harm, my friend.
I actually thought along the same lines, by Calvin’s surname…Cajun/Creole.
I know that Brytni is creole, so, in dev’s defense, I do think he took it for granted that Calvin was Creole—considering his dulcet drawl.❤️
Thanks Celia
❤️
Brytni Sarpy ( Originally Sarpi–Italian) is Creole with French, Italian and African heritage.
Boudreu is a French surname–Calvin is an English name.
Why does it matter, dev? I know you’re just making an observation, right? Right??–
LOL. I’m not much for controversy, but, being in my “late” 50’s now I tend to say what I think. Not having lived my entire life down south i tend to process some common first and last name combos on a different level. I grew up in a VERY diverse East coast small town in the 60’s and “Meggie’s having a party”-was different than “Florine’s having a party”- for me. As a matter of fact we never encountered racial disparity till the very early 80’s. By then I was a senior in high school and could have cared less. LOL.… Read more »
LOL—dev. I love you— why do I understand what you said? It has been a few years and through our back-and-forths, when I first joined these sites, I have gotten to glean a bit of your personality—you do say what you think—as I do. Sometimes, I shock people, HaHa. I was taken aback the first time ( five years ago) I read one of your comments–you may not remember this, but another of our-fellow-posters did come to your defense. Then, I thought…”hmmmm, he sounds much like myself….” . And, there you have it. I am a nerd, dev….I’m a linguist,… Read more »
Hey Dev, It’s fine. Happy posting!
They brought Adam back for what don’t like how they are writing this he being mistreated by everybody
I agree, not liking or felling the new Adam just can’t get into it like use to and that’s sad Adam use to be my fave could not wait to see the next day! Now not so much also he appears way too young especially for ALL of Adams history and with love interest seems he could play their son more than past love interest
Feeling! UGH autocorrect hates me!
Pamela
Do you really think Adam is being mistreated by everyone? Are you watching the same show, as the rest of us are? He has been acting like a piece of crap to not only his family, since he’s been back, but to just about everyone he comes in contact with. Look what he’s doing to Kevin alone, keeping him away from Chloe and Bella. Didn’t he do enough killing Chloe’s daughter, be it accidental or not? Why can’t he give them a little peace.
Stay with Adam
When people are selfish they think like you Adam has a right to want his family Nick wants his sons and his wife yes his wife because their no divorce and for Kevin go away Adam hide evident that all Billy kill his daughter
Yes, Adam has a right to be with his sons; or at least, if not full custody, have parental visitations—-the problem is, Pamela, he is going about it the wrong way—he’s committing crimes. It’s illegal.
I agree
Hi Celia — I just don’t remember the Hartley Adam that left being so “mean” for lack of a better word. However, this is a new storyline!
Adam needs to find another woman, start over .
Yes, Kathy…..someone age-appropriate-However, that’ll be difficult if the PTB keep switching Adam’s age up and down….drives me nuts.
I do not like this guy or the way he is representing Adam–complete reversal, again. Not his fault—the writers should think twice before putting ink to paper.
If Adam is here to stay, how will ye gods reconcile his fiendish character?
Apologize, will stop commenting as moving through the comments; however the changes have been rather quickly introduced and multiple. Sometimes I want to be brought up to date before viewing making my comments rather latent.
Another woman really no one else doing anything wrong
Now I feel sorry for Adam.. 🙁
{bad guys need luvin too}
His two sons, His, sons have been stolen from him.
Adan has a right to His sons.
I hope Adam plays a dirty game and burns down the barn to gets His sons back, the two boys are His !!
GO ADAM !!! I gotcha ya!!
(I’d marry Adam! but- wouldn’t have children with him, I don’t tolerate drama well lol )
i feel sorry for the audience this is beyond boring yandr is continuing its move backwards instead of forward
Hey Richard, Hope all is well – What would you like to see on Y&R? The problem is Mal Young brought in a slew of new characters and no one liked them or liked only a few. Myself included. I think there has to be a well balance between the veteran cast members and new additions. I think the new head writer is trying to slowly make that happen.
hey lew i am not sure what i want to see here but after 20 years i am close to tuning out i watch days everyday and love the writing and look forward to each episode bold is even better than restless right now while many scream about mal young he did move the show forward gave us the best kyle ever made me like lily but im sorry josh griffith who wrote a depressing 50th for days is really not doing it for me since when is chelsea a legacy character because that is how he is treating her… Read more »
I hear you Richard and I agree with you quite a bit. A little less of Adam would be good and this is the best Kyle ever. I think Y&R is trying to satisfy the viewers that have hung in for years and bringing in younger characters to attract the new generation. Not an easy thing, because you can’t please everyone. I hope you hang in there, because I think things will get better.
i am trying
Keep trying. That’s how it works!
Richard you and Lew had an interesting discussion. The “Oh summer thanks for the kidney you are done back to lola” got me. There was a wonderful premise in that storyline that could have been a torn love affair, a torn feeling of quilt, a torn feeling twix almost anything philosophical and everything. Now it looks the writer’s missed; however, it isn’t too late.
I may be butting into this discussion, but I couldn’t find a better place to make my comment, so do not think I am arguing with what you all said. It just bugs me everytime I hear Summer go on and on with the poor me attitude, over her marriage to Kyle. She agreed to the marriage, in return for her kidney, period! She knew he loved Lola, but she went on acting like the happy bride to be, promoting the wedding night and honeymoon, acting like they were the happy couple, when she knew that it was just a… Read more »
Chelsea and Adam belong together not sharon
Neither, that ship has sailed too many times. It doesn’t make sence knowing who Adam is that Chelsea would come back to GC. And does her hubby know she is a career conartist? Probably not, one would think she would want him far away. Bring in some new, young and interesting people. Start the next generation already.
And let Sharon focus on her young daughter and stop shacking up with Mr Right Now and her daughter’s kidnapper.
Chelsea needs to stay faithful and married to her husband
Welcome to the newman.
Welcome to the newman.keep the excitement coming.
He looks handsome and totally age appropriate. The problem heroin lies with the fourth Adam recast. My God! He is way too young and the age disparity is not only glaring, it’s distracting. When Stafford came back on it was especially disturbing as she looks like she could now be Adam’s grandmother.
Harry
Although this new Calvin is so very good looking, I like Chelsea with someone more Nick’s age, preferably Nick himself, but I think that ship has sailed. Every time I see Adam, I like him even less than the time before. I hate what he’s selfishly doing to everyone he comes in contact with. Hopefully Chelsea’s husband will be able to settle his hash, so to speak. There has to be someone out there that can throw something at him, and make it stick.
Nah, my Harry—a bit of an exageration, there, LOL….Not that I want Phyllis with this milksop, pretending to be a tough guy, but Michelle Stafford rivals some women half her age. She is one gorgeous mama–she has flair—great body, made to wear those clothes ( and as a woman, I can say that without envy) —wishing to still keep my looks in twenty years as she has. Adam is actually the age he is supposed to be. It’s unfortunate that ‘ye gods’ decided to fiddle with his age–four times!! This Adam has to be the worst yet!! I doubt these… Read more »
Adam should be with both of his sons but Nick and Calvin should have visitation rights. Sharon should leave Ray and go back to Nick
Raymond, I have a feeling when Mama Celeste meets Sharon, she will be dragging Rey away kicking and screaming. I do not see these two women getting along too well. They are too close in age anyway. Celeste is only a few years older than Rey.
Join the discussion…I agree about Sharon needs to be with Nick
sharon and nick are end game they should be together
Let Chelsea’s husband be supporting and kind but tough enough to keep Adam out of her new life. Her husband is soooo handsome and hopefully supporting and kind. Maybe Adam can stop being such a jerk and show some compassion. He has some sort of history that we do not know about…looking forward to seeing what it is.
Kari
We were sure fooled about Chelsea’s husband, huh? He not only thought she should give up her son to Adam, , but, he threw it her face about giving up Johnny to Billy and Victoria.
Adam needs to move on and get him another female. I am of him. Also why is he really in Genoa City? He’s up to something else aside of a lot of chaos.
I am sick of Adam.
hear hear
Oh yeah John Burke is very handsome.
Sorry folks but y’all really think Adam would be a good role model for those boys? I hate they made him so evil again! He and Sharon deserve each other,the evil and the stupid!!! And please just once let Jack win over all these mean and nasty people!!!!!
Adam is Not evil..
He is Newman, not much different than the entire family when out get what is theirs..
Adam Is the father of the two boys, they are His sons..
He is fighting like a Newman would fight to get their children back.
Hey, SusieQ, I agree, the boys are his and he should be part of their lives as their father……But, I still think Christian is Nick’s son– I hope this is soon resolved—I know it’s the standard fare for soaps, but I grow soooo weary of this cat and mouse game. I don’t like the nuAdam—not endearing– -he is much too young to be taken seriously—Chelsea looks older than Sharon ( albeit I know she’s much younger)—-In other words, neither of the women is a good fit for him. TPTB should have never aged Adam that drastically; but, since they did,… Read more »
Hi Celia! Happy 4th ! Truth is; Most all the woman of Y&R are no longer young.. most are near to senior citizens or are LOL when Young and restless started they were young, no longer so. The new men are young the women old fact- the woman are botox, lifts, wigs, they are Not natural. The older men are toupees and botox and yes lifts. Y&R struggles to keep them young looking.. Victor/Eric is natural and the one and only gray hair on screen, no other senior citizens have gray natural hair(Jack, Lauren, Cain, Michael, Nikki, Tracy, Paul, Others… Read more »
Right on suOOO, or as I like to call it The Old & Shriveled
I said as much on GH. They keep pushing these older actors into new romantic entanglements when what they really need is a long rest. .
HaHaHaHaHa, Violet–a good rest?? From what? Naughty, Miss Violet!! I have been preaching that particular ‘gospel’ forever—but, I get shut down and called an ageist. I am actually a realist. We all age—I simply like to think in an orderly fashion—-including age. Yeah, it’s a soap….but, removing myself from these constant unrealistic situations becomes tedious—I get impatient, Violet. All I can say is that I hope my husband will display the same stamina as these elderly gentlemen in thirty/forty years…..yeah!! I thought the hookup between Jack and that young British, company spy ( forgot her name) was over the top–how… Read more »
Thank you, my friend— I think the only natural-looking woman on Y&R is Melody/Nikki—no plastic surgery. Hair color is Ok–I don’t think any of us appreciates gray hair- To each his/her own, sweet, SusieQ….If these women ( and men) feel better emotionally by going under the knife knowingly aware of the risks, the sobeit!! I guess it’s easy for anyone our age to disparage plastic surgery. I don’t know how I will feel about it when my jaw starts to sag–or other parts?!?! Yet, I would not go so far as to look ridiculous. No offence to “Lauren”; but she… Read more »
Hi Celia, like you have held on the tricks that were happening in the lab regarding the DNA. No, Nick is the father. If the writer’s say no, they are not telling the truth! (laughing anyone/)
LOL, Tani….good to “see” you….been a while… Well, I look at it this way—how sure can we be Christian is actually Adam’s? If Victor, Sharon and so many others could switch test results when the mood strikes them, willy-nilly, at any given moment…..anything is possible. I think Victor knows……he had a plan that went awry. Now, he can’t take it back? How is that possible?? He’s Victor Newman, Zeus, Apollo, Odin, Ra, Indra, Jupiter, Neptune, and Mars ( etc.) all rolled into one. Victor can make the earth move—all at his fingertips; his whim……when the time is ripe, he will… Read more »
He is very handsome but I am rooting for Adam and Chelsea back together with connor. Love to see this guy romancing phyllis making both jack and nick jealous
Oh yea! Bring him on. I’d take him any day, before that whining little pain in the butt Adam.
Seeing as how I’m still allowed to edit, I am changing my mind. Old Calvin turned out to be a jerk, with what he told Chelsea to give Conner to Adam.
I’d like to see Chelsea and Nicholas get back together and Beat Adam and finally send him packing
I’m surprised no one mentioned John Burke’s job as an AMC host, not All My Children, rather American Movie Classics. He introduced the movies. What’s the matter with all of you? Do you not watch movies? Do you all have amnesia?! lol
I stopped watching AMC when it started airing commercials and focused less on movies because of all the series. Apparently, he stopped, too.
4ever DAYS
I have watched AMC for many years, but can really only remember Robert Osborne and Nick Clooney, my favorite hosts. They were always so interesting and knowledgeable about the stars and films being shown.
How old is this guy in real life?
Jude
I think I read 60, and acts a little paternal towards Chelsea??
Like to see Adam and Chelsey together again
I think Chrlsea’s new husband ‘abuses’ her, in some form. She seemed very apprehensive and nervous around him—I think Nick suspects something. There’s a story to tell here. The scting was impeccable today!! I don’t like Chelsea, but, WOW!! She truly showed her acting skills–her facial expressions spoke volumes…
Hi Celia, Happy 4th!! Yes, there’s something sinister about Chelsea’s husband and Nick or Adam or maybe together, will come to her rescue. I also am not a fan of Adam. He is way to young and I agree looks awkward with Sharon, even though she looks great (in her late forties).
Hello, Lew!!!! Long time, my friend—and, thank you….hope your holiday was great also. You and I have always read these characters in much the same way. It’s all about the acting—if an actor/actress can give off these vibes—strong enough to elicit a feeling from the viewer, then he/she has sharp acting skills. I agree–I admire Sharon. She looks fantabulous—in her late forties and still gets away with wearing Daisy Dukes–wears them well–better than the original. LOL—whom we shall see on the Y&R stage again, very soon, I hear…. This Adam is completely wrong for the part, specifically because of his… Read more »
Haven’t seen last episodes. Thought he might be attached to the “underworld.” Her ring was rather outstanding. Who could match 50 Million and know about Adam’s whereabout? ..
OMG, a debut and a demise, in a matter of hours, wow! This should be very interesting, to say the least. What Chelsea’s husband said to her, on one hand sounded reasonable, but on the other hand as a mother, I would have wanted to kill him on the spot, but certainly not sleep in the same bed, as it implies , when she said, ” we went to bed”. I am also thinking that the part Gordon Thomson is playing may be a relative of Calvin’s.
Join the discussion…No idea what you are talking about. Guess it is time to turn on the recorded episodes. These comments were fun!
Tani
Didn’t quite understand YOUR comment. Are you saying you read the comments first and then watch the shows? Glad you are having fun, though it sounds like you are doing it backwards, LOL!
Nick wants everything Adam has I would be mad too.If I was Adam Nick could have her just give me my sons who agree?
