THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS: Who Shot Adam?

Photo: JPI Studios

Things have gotten off to a rocky start for Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) upon his return to Genoa City! Within a week’s time he has been shot at point blank rage! But whodunit?

It all went down at the end of Friday’s episode of the The Young and the Restless, when after getting into an argument with Victor (Eric Braeden) and learning that Nick (Joshua Morrow) hates him and is raising his son, Christian, and that Billy (Jason Thompson) hates him because he ran down his daughter, Delia, it’s too much for this amnesiac version of Adam to take.

Victor even reveals he is trying to locate Chelsea for him. But ultimately, at the tackhouse Adam shows Victor to the front door and notifies him he is going back to Vegas.

Victor comments, “You’re going to regret this!” And outside the door, Victor is deep in thought.  Later, as Adam’s bags are packed for his departure from Genoa City, there is a knock at the door.  When he opens it, he is shot in the stomach.

Earlier in the episode, Nick has been contacted by Chelsea who has been trying to contact him via multiple text messages.  But is it her?

As previewed on the latest promo for Y&R and upcoming teasers from SOD, Adam is wheeled into surgery, his brother and sister, Sharon (Sharon Case), and Victor, all worry about what will be the outcome, and when Adam comes out of his operation, he remembers Victor! Looks like his memory has returned, or has it?

But the bigger question is:  Who do you think shot Adam?  Could it be Chelsea (Melissa Claire Egan is returning to the show next month) ? Chloe? (There has been speculation that Elizabeth Hendrickson is returning to her role, especially from a recent photo she posted around Emmy time – see below -with her longtime Y&R co-star Greg Rikaart (Kevin), who is also back on the show) Or, could the shooter be shockingly Nick or Billy, or could it be just a gambler or a racketeer that Adam owes money to from his time in Vegas, and the gun shot was just to facilitate Adam regaining his memory, or could Adam have organized his own shooting?

Place your bets on who will be revealed to be Adam’s shooter by posting your theories via the comment section below.

My money is on Chloe. With Kevin coming back, Chloe doesn’t have much to lose (and we haven’t seen much of Elizabeth Hendrickson on GH lately). Kevin could end up raising Bella on his own. Billy would never shoot Adam knowing that he has a life with Victoria and his kids, Johnny and Katie. Nick has a lot to lose too, namely Christian and Faith along with his adult daughter, Summer. It’s too early for Chelsea to come back as MCE won’t be back on screen until late June. Victoria wouldn’t do it either. Yes, she and Adam have had a contentious relationship, it was no where near as volatile as Adam’s relationship with Victor and Nick.

Even though I am liking GH right now, Elizabeth Hendrickson is being wasted. I can see her coming back to Y&R. If so, my money is on her or Kevin.

I was thinking Chloe, as well, Michael……isn’t Kevin making an appearance? Perhaps, he knew what Chloe was up to and followed her?
Another possibility is the person who helped Adam escape the fire? He could not have managed to come out of that inferno unscathed/alive without help, I would think.
I don’t know if Nick has the heart to shoot in cold blood!! How about Tessa? Ian Ward? Zack is not really dead?

It’s probably that miniature maniac Chloe again……yawn and zzzzzzzz. I am bored with the story line–re living and replaying the Delia revenge story for the third time is boring to me.

Hi Harry ..
ahh ha! yes the Delia Revenge will only accomplish Nick being a pouty man child being done wrong..
Nick is such a sniveler haa what a weenie he is..

So, not looking forward to watching that but looking forward to Adam taking someone down because I need some action !!
(and I luvs the bad boy!)

I keep waiting for a rewrite where they find out it wasn’t Adam who ran her over.

Hi Harry
I can’t stand that “mini maniac” either. She’s even worse on GH, with her dumb support of Shiloh.

Yeah, Harry….right? Let the girl “rest” in peace.
If anything, I wish someone would shoot Cane and get him out of his misery!!

If Chloe it has been done- it would have been her third attempt. If Vegas people, who cares, never saw them on screen. It would never be Billy, Nick or Victor. If he is old style Adam and had himself shot that is possible.

Other suspects not mentioned. The son of the terminal man Adam hired to be his body in the explosion at the GCAC or Patty Williams, who he duped into confessing murdering said same man. This shooting would revisited that part of Adam’s history to get newer viewers caught up

Personally I am hoping this guy will eventually be exposed as an impostor or maybe another one of Victor’s unknown sons seeking revenge- he wouldn’t be the real Adam, but he will fill the Adam like void of the wronged son seeking his rightful place in the Newman clan.

Ok-
I’ve changed my thoughts about the new Adam/Mark Grossman.
The man is a talented actor and has made his presence known as Adam.
He is not MM, but then, no one is, but Mark is doing very well.

He still looks too young for Sharon but his demeanor is overplaying that fact.

So yah- I’m liking this guy 🙂

I’m looking forward to the mini-wars that are to come.
And I’m luvin’ that Victor is back in action !

I need more time, SusieQ…..Can’t put my finger on this thing that bugs me about nuAdam. He is not the truculent meanie I expected.
I guess he will grow into Adam’s pants. We shall see. He strikes me more as the recalcitrant Newman brat, than the methodical sycophant.

The killer will be connected to Vegas in the end but show will use the story to bring Chelsea back, Kevin and Chloe, etc.

Next to return is, I hope and pray, Gloria. Fresh off winning the lottery and millions of bucks. She will buy into Jabot and instead of getting she will be giving orders.

it is probably chloe but who cares this story is a snorefest isn’t everyone bored of how victor treats nick and goes on about adam this new writing regime is making yandr a 12 minute soap sans commercials and a fast forward on the remote

Richard
I can’t tell you how sick I am of Victor fawning all over this son, who has been nothing but trouble for him and the whole family and so many others, from the minute he appeared in G.C all grown up. Sharon, blabbing on about what he had done for her, never mentioning what he’d done TO her, stealing her newborn baby and giving her to Ashley to make up for causing her to lose her own. I am not going to bore you or anyone else with the terrible things he’s done to so many people. The fans know and have forgotten, or don’t care, but it just bugs the hell out of me, when people have the nerve to put Nick down, who has been good to his family, but for the fact that he wont march behind daddy as his little robot. Victor makes me sick just listening to him go on and on about family, and expecting everyone to kiss his ass and give Adam respect and adoration. Newer watchers can look up Adam’s history, if they like and read about the real Adam.
Sorry, Richard that you had to get the brunt of my tirade, but you seemed to be in agreement with my feelings.

i do agree with you

Chloe!

Adam has that duffel bag full of money. Its somebody from Vegas on his trail that he screwed over. Who freakin cares!

I could care less who shot Adam, actor is fine, but do not like the character, unless they change him completely, which I don’t see happening. What would be the point? So saying all that, my vote is that he had himself shot, because any one else mentioned, would have killed him, maybe aiming for his head or heart, not the gut. Also Vegas people would have looked for and taken the money sitting in plain sight. The shooter never entered the house.

Chloe

Esther dressed as Batman!

Chloe

What a little worm Adam is and always has been. He falsified DNA to give Christian to Nick, and now he wants him back. No surprise there. I hope everyone who wanted this jerk back is happy.

Hey, Miss Violet,
I’ve always maintained that Christian is really Nick’s……after all the back and forth “switcheroos”, the “woe is me”-s; the less-than-honest actions by Victor ( whose nose and hand have to be in everyone’s life) and Adam’s ( like father–like son) vulpine personality, I have the temerity to say and believe something is afoot…..That is, Victor is at the bottom of it all and he will be found out.
The problem is, Violet, the PTB steadfastly lead us in one direction, expecting them to make a right turn; then do a number on us, and make a left . Who’s to say Christian isn’t Victor’s? HaHa..

Hey Celia,
If this were real life and not reel, I would just say, from your mouth to God’s ear, but I sure hope you are right.
On a couple of other previous comments made by you, Harry and myself about Eliz.Hendrickson. I have been wondering about all the pledges Shiloh has been collecting on GH, including Margaux’s. My big question is, isn’t having sex with his victim one of his requirements? Have we ever seen a tattoo on her? He would probably need bricks to hold her down.Yuk! Sorry, just being silly. What about the men? I wonder if Brad would consider it a privilege to do what ever was asked of him? This SL is getting sicker, if that’s even possible. We know at the end, there will be numerous suspects, because by then, everyone will hate this guy.

Uuuuuu!! Love the play-on-words, Miss Vi—real, reel. Nice!!
You know, I love ‘silly’…..I love the ‘ridiculous….I see “funny” in anything, if the mood strikes me. However, while I do enjoy quirky personalities, weird thinking, and belly laughs; I am not entertained by less than interesting writing. This is forced.
These victims’ intelligence is above the norm—-their experiences in life, as mature adults, are vast; thus, it’s baffling for them to fall prey to such manipulation. Kristina is exempt—she’s young, I guess, and gullible. Considering her disillusionment in love, lack of closeness to her mother, a criminal for a father, a scholastic failure—I can see how she would succumb to such a toxic speechifier and slime-ball. He offered her an escape from that which brought her unhappiness, leaving her wanting. He offered her manna from the gods–it was heaven!!
Margaux is an idiot–the name(?) speaks for itself. Were her parents French? What the hey!! The most complicated name–the French language ( which I speak fluently) has not evolved—-it’s still living in the Middle Ages. The word for “eighty” is “four twenties”–” quatre vingts”—“Seventy” is “sixty and ten”–“Soixante-dix”. They can’t come up with one word for said numbers? Hmmmm and sigh!!
The most stupid Western European language.
My point? Why choose a retarded language–it’s pronounced Margo–so, why not write Margo. Life is so complicated!! LOL.
Shiloh is not even so sexy as to have women ( especially those with a head on their shoulders) fall all over themselves to have his attention or filthy hands on them. Are you chomping at the bit to have him, Violet? LOL.
we don’t know if Shiloh has been with men to gain their trust and “donations”…
Remember what Adam Newman did? He lured the housekeeper’s nephew ( loved Rafe–good guy) to bed in order to throw him off any findings of his deceit.
So, yeah, Shiloh would definitely use his wiles on Brad if it benefited him.

Perhaps she was named as an homage to that hot mess of a ‘70’s supermodel for a moment, Margaux Hemingway? Just a thought, CeeCeeGirl! Anyway, it’s been quite awhile…wanted to take the opportunity to say hello and wish you a “Happy Vineyard Summer”…It is that time again, isn’t it, mia amica?

Well, hiyah, Shaybelle!!!!!! Long time—-yeah…Hemingway and his two granddaughters! I heard of both, but did not know Margaux was a model—could not have been well-known as Tiegs, Jerry Hall, Beverly Johnson etc.
We are having a family reunion this summer on MV in August—very exciting—-family coming from Holland, Scotland, Australia, Canada, S. Africa, Norway and Lord knows where else!!
Can’t wait to meet all the new “additions”—
So happy to hear from you, cara.❤️

Au contraire, CeeCeeGirl! Margaux was an uber-famous femme of the ‘70’s, and not just because of her last name and legendary grandfather…she was the first model to land a million-dollar contract when she was signed as the face of Faberge’s “Babe” fragrance and later, cosmetics line! It was omnipresent in the mid-to-late part of the decade and even though I was too young to be a prospective consumer, I remember all the splashy magazine ads promoting the products! Hemingway had that very “glamazon” look…bold beauty and statuesque, athletic build….she really did photograph amazingly with her unique features. She was on all the major magazine covers, when that sort of thing really counted for a model’s popularity. The reason she did not remain in the public eye as enduringly as the equally stunning Jerry Hall and some of her other counterparts, is because she sought to bank upon her modeling success by entering the film world, and her first project was the very controversial “Lipstick,” in which she played a covergirl who was raped by a psycho stalker…Mariel was also in the flick as her little sis. The movie was panned and criticized for its graphic violence, and even though it is now a sort of cult-classic, it really did nothing to further Hemingway’s acting career. (The fact Margaux also had a really strange voice did her no favors either…) She also suffered drinking, drug and mental problems which saw her fade from the public spotlight for a time and her subsequent comeback attempts went nowhere. Sadly, she committed suicide years ago….but whilst her star shone, it was very brightly…albeit far too briefly. Look her up….even now her modeling photos are quite arresting. Having said that, your upcoming family reunion sounds like a major undertaking! How exciting! Hope MV will be relatively peaceful and private during your celebration….not overrun by those who notably like to close down the island! LOL….Anyway, always good to hear from you, too, mia amica! Later!

‘Morning, Shay,
Agreed—Margaux was stunning—I was sort of taken aback; she had my nose, LOL.
How tragically was this family ( collectively) cursed? So sad!!
There is a third (middle) sister, Joan, I had no idea existed. She is as bitten by the ‘curse’ as the rest. Sigh.
Yes, ma belle, my family and then some, has been having these reunions for decades—every five years. The last one was in Australia…..of course, I did not go due to the fact that I had just given birth—and had a hard time of it!!
As I said; I will be meeting the “new” generation ( of kids)—-looking forward to it…….
Again, my love…..keep posting. I’ve missed you…
Miss Violet and I have struck a friendship!!!! Who knew we were neighbors at one point ( Southampton and CT, close to my Alma Mater). Amazing!! She is so much fun!!
I would love to ‘hear’ your input on the “loves and lives” of the PC residents.
All I can say is that I cannot take much more of Shiloh and “Sleuthy-Sam”— what a mess!! This is such a “farout” situation, even for a soap….Sonny is a lethal criminal—-Julian doesn’t smell like a flower either…..and Valentin is ruthless. So, what the hey is wrong with these writers to embed a creepy-crawler, such as Shiloh, within the PC woodwork? I will never believe that Shiloh is so much of a fearless intrepid to ignore the fierce “powers” surrounding him—-he targets the daughter of a “malavitoso” such as Sonny? Riiiiiight!!❤️

Celia
I guess I missed your last sentence of comment, but I would like to think that Sage had more class than to sleep with the likes of Victor.That brings up another question. I do not remember if he had his vasectomy reversed that Diane got him to get, years ago. I remember how angry Nicki was when she found out.

LOL, my love….I was being facetious. Sage did not sleep with Victor–surprising, since, since I doubt, there’s a woman left in GC with whom he hasn’t “messed”–yuck!!

Celia,
So enjoyed your last two comments. They are always so enlightening and interesting. I took French for only one semester, so what I know is next to nothing. I think I can count to twenty, say the months and days of the week and a few phrases.I guess we share the same sense of humour, in that I also find so many things funny. My daughter shared this craziness with me, but skipped the rest of the family, and I feel it’s their loss. Iam also a big fan of the double entendre, which I have to contain, as it isn’t becoming an old lady.
Oh, you said in your last little comment that you doubted there were any women left in GC with whom Victor hasn’t messed. Not sure if that was a typo, and could you have meant missed?

Hey, Miss Violet,
It’s encouraging knowing someone else with an “off” sense of humor. LOL. Where is it written that there’s an age limit to a fantastic sense of humor? Warped or otherwise? No way, my friend. You are as physically and mentally young as you feel.
I would have never guessed. You are ageless to me. Does not matter–we communicate well!!
No, it’s not a typo……I meant “messed”, in quotes. Victor has messed with 99% of GC’s female population….even the prison medic. HaHa.
I try to keep up with good grammar…..my austere English teacher’s admonition still deafen me—I can hear her; “Never, ever end a sentence with a preposition.”….so, I wrote ‘with whom…..’
I wish I could meet you❤️

Celial
Hey there. Boy, when I have to explain my little joke, that shows me I am losing it, right?. In this case, you said there wasn’t a woman in GC he hadn’t messed, so I was trying to be funny saying, did you mean a woman he hadn’t missed?
I would also like to meet you Celia. You are such a bright, articulate, educated, funny woman. wife and mother too, I’m sure. Who says you can’t have it all, huh? I often wonder how women such as yourself, ever had/have time to watch the soaps. Back in the day, as a stay at home mother, with an unhappy marriage, it was a way to lose myself in other people’s happiness or misery. It worked, but I was hooked for life,and am so grateful not only for what the soaps have given me, but also the pleasure of “meeting” people like you.
I better cool it here, Michael will be charging me for space. Talk to you soon.

No, Violet, you’re not losing it….I simply ‘missed’ ( HaHa) your joke. My bad.
And, I thank you for your praise–yet,, I’m human—imperfect!! None of us is pristine and “perfect”, LOL.
As far as finding the time to watch my three soaps—rarely do I watch when they are broadcast. I indulge at night—-
Believe it or not, I can’t remember a time when I didn’t watch —-my grandmother had me hooked since forever. Hard to let go, right?
Speak soon, my friend.❤️

@CeeCee….Reading Violet’s and your vivid descriptions of Victor Newman’s propensity for collecting female conquests strikes me as being very similar to Port Charles’ own resident “Don Juan,” Sonny Corinthos! Guess all soaps have to have one, eh? Hah!

American Idol

AMERICAN IDOL: Was it Shady of Former Contestant Alyssa Raghu to Sneak in on Best Friend Julia Davos’ Audition and Score a Golden Ticket?

Show business is really cutthroat and it was fully on display on Sunday night’s latest episode of American Idol.  We’re not sure after the dust settled if we should be more upset with the judges: Lionel Richie, Luke Bryan and Katy Perry, or former contestant Alyssa Raghu.

But, here is what went down. 20-year-old Julia Davo, auditioned for the judges with a performance of David Bowie’s “Life on Mars?” She also had mentioned that she is best friends and roommates with former ‘Idol’ contestant Alyssa Raghu.

The judges felt Davo needed more work, and should come back and audition again, once she has honed in on her vocals a bit more while allowing for her voice to grow. However, when the judges gave their verdict, Raghu was now in the audition room.  They told Raghu, “When she’s absolutely ready in your eyes, bring her back to us.”

It was at the point, there was a swerve by Raghu when she addressed the judges, “I know you said that my voice was going to grow until it was 21. You said that when I was, like, 15. Just for giggles, I’d love to sing you something.”

At the point, Katy Perry gave her the OK to sing. But, while viewers initially thought at home, that she may just be singing for the judges to prove that she has become a better singer, she was actually angling to get in the competition, once again.

Photo: ABC

“I think this was a really weird plot twist,” Perry confessed after Raghu’s performance of Mariah Carey’s “My All.” Katy added,“I think you could go in. Do I think you could win it? No, personally. If you were going to go to Idol one more time, I want to know beyond a shadow of a doubt that you could win.” So with that, Katy gave Raghu a “no.”  However, Luke and Lionel were being generous and gave her two votes as “yes.” Therefore, Raghu received a golden ticket right in front of her friend who received a “no.”

Davo tried her best to say how happy she was that Raghu is receiving another chance, because as she said, “She deserves this.” But in the end, it was awkward and uncomfortable to watch.

Alyssa’s previous journey on Idol went something like this: She made it to the Top 50 of Season 16 but was eliminated by the end of Hollywood Week. She returned for Season 17, making it all the way to the Top 8.

Watch the auditions of Davo and Raghu below.

Now let us know, do you think Raghu should have auditioned after her friend did not receive a golden ticket? Should the judges have allowed Alyssa to sing and then vote to put her in the competition for the third time? Weigh-in via the comment section below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jason Explains Part of Where He Has Been; What Do You Think Will be Revealed as the Rest of the Story?

GH fans received a part of the backstory of just where Jason (Steve Burton) has been for the last two plus years on the Thursday, March 16th episode of the ABC daytime drama series.

In story, as Jason (Steve Burton) is hiding out at the Quartermaine boat house, Michael (Chad Duell) brings him a change of clothes and when Jason lifts up his sweatshirt, and is in then in only a tank-top, his arm is exposed showing his tattoo. Michael is shocked to see that on Jason (in real life, Burton now has that tattoo).

When Michael questions Jason as to where he has been for over two years after the tunnel collapsed on him, Jason explains. He tells Michael he found his way out of the tunnel. However, on his way out there were two gunmen waiting fo him who kidnapped him and he was taken prisoner.

Next, Jason shares he was flown out of Greece and ended up in a windowless room. He reveals a man wanted him to do a job and had leverage on him to force him to agree to take it.  When Michael asks Jason what exactly was the job, he says he’s been working as a private military contractor, i.e., a mercenary.

On the night of Dante’s (Dominic Zamprogna) shooting, Jason explains he made his way to Port Charles and was working with the other shooter, Hamish. However, he was unaware that the target was Sonny (Maurice Benard).  When Jason realized what was up, he made sure Hamish missed his shot. Michael inquires if Jason would have even come back to Port Charles if Sonny wasn’t the target.

At that point, Jason shared that the job he was given isn’t done, and if he doesn’t finish it, bad things will happen. At the end of the episode, Jason is having a flashback where it’s revealed he is in custody at Quantico and it’s John “Jagger” Cates (Adam J. Harrington) from the FBI who is holding him there. John tells Jason he has a recording proving RICO violations that will carrying a twenty-year sentence. We fade to black.

So, what do you think is really going on here? Jason looks to be working with John Cates and the FBI as part of a deal to bring someone to justice to get out of a 20-year sentence for RICO violations. But, who is the man that Jason and potentially John want to bring down? What did you think of the backstory of Jason’s two-year disappearance thus far? Share your thoughts in the comment section, But first, check out the key scenes from yesterday’s GH below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Carly and Jason’s Emotional Reunion Is Cut Short When John and Anna Arrive on the Scene

If you watch daytime drama and General Hospital you know that there is an unique bond and deep love between the characters of Carly Spencer and Jason Morgan. You also know that when Laura Wright (Carly) and Steve Burton (Jason) get together in scenes with high stakes and high drama, they deliver in spectacular fashion.

On today’s, Friday, March 8th episode of the ABC daytime drama series, Carly is in for quite the shock when her beloved Jason is standing right there in the dark and in her living room. For two years, Carly has grieved Jason’s ‘death’, only for him to be right before her.

With tears in his eyes, and just saying “Carly”, it stops her dead in her tracks.  She runs towards Jason and they share an emotional reunion. You came back,” Carly cries. Jason says he is sorry it took so long to contact her. Problem is, Jason has been shot and is bleeding out and needs her help. Jason obviously had no where to go, and is only letting himself truly be known to Carly, because he can trust her with his life and vice-versa.

Photo: ABC

Carly goes to get a first-aid kit, and tells Jason to promise he won’t leave. He promises. But as he sits down on the couch, he is in bad shape. Carly returns as they clean the bullet wound area. Still in shock, Carly says, “How can you be here?”

Things get very touching when Carly tells Jason she wishes she could call her mom for help. Jason tells her not to call Bobbie. Just then, Carly says she can’t because her mother died. Jason goes, “Bobbie died?” As soon as the two were going to talk about it, there is pounding noises at Carly’s front door. It’s John (Adam J. Harrington) and Anna (Finola Hughes). Jason hides.

Photo: JPI

Anna asks Carly if they can come in. They show her the screen capture of Jason on the roof. Carly plays it very convincingly asking FBI agent Cates and Anna if this image of Jason is real.  Anna confirms Jason is alive and they need to search her house. Carly firmly tells them they cannot search the house, but they tell her they have a warrant and don’t have to have her permission.  Jason listens in from the staircase. We fade to black.

So, what did you think of the reunion scenes thus far between Carly and Jason and the performances of Laura Wright and Steve Burton? Share your thoughts via the comment section below. But first, check out the moment Carly and Jason saw each for the first time in two years.
