I think Constance will be a lady who found Adam and has seen him through his recovery. Maybe she has an agenda that includes a financial pay-off? I’m behind Justin as the new Adam. It all comes down to the “EB Effect.” If he can hold his own up against Eric Braden and the actor likes him, Justin will be a hit! If Eric doesnt like him and he has scenes with Victor and he comes off like a child, its a bust! That was the biggest problem with David Thom other than Billy Miller’s quick exit, David in scenes with Eric Braeden were so uncomfortable. Man-vs-Boy! I like David Thom, its just that he didnt age in a way that he could hold his own against the MUSTACHE! In the 90’s it was easier to accept David as Billy because him and Victoria were very young and David would act against Eric and it was youthful things like dating his daughter and such and not corporate issues. I hope David lands on another soap, he is talented.

Me too.

PLEASE!

Su always brings a dark cloud

Like GT? Who has won a lot of people over.

I think JH will be fine. It will be like Jack when PB took over. He was preceded by a very popular actor but he made the role his own.

He will not fail. Nor would I wish that on any actor.

You are crazy, Give Justin a chance he will be great as the new adam. You need a reality check su0000, The new Billy Abbott is doing a terrific job.

Billy Miller is great but watching him play Jason it occurred to me, Billy Miller is always Billy Miller…..no matter what.
Therefore, in a weird, parallel universe kind of way, I agree with you, SU000. No one can play Billy Miller except Billy Miller but someone CAN else play Billy Abbott.
David Tom was becoming Billy Miller and I thought it was a colossal mistake to let him go. I admit the third Billy has been an awkward fit but think of the pressure he has been under. If one can discard the memory of Billy Miller, then one can start to accept this new Billy Abbott. Jenkins seems to be relaxing and is starting to make Billy Abbott his own.

Yes, it makes sense–the constant sea swell of new faces is somewhat confusing. There was a time when I got all the blondes mixed up–Nu Abby, Summer and that blonde police officer. Yes, when there is an influx of new young blondes they do all start to look alike. Please, no one call me a racist for saying so. And every time the third Billy appeared on screen I had to remind myself who he was. It got to the point where these aforementioned characters needed to wear one of those”Hello! My name is blank.” name tags.
I think you’re right that perhaps Adam and Billy should have perished in that car accident. At least they could have disappeared for a longer spell than they did. Drucilla has been hanging from that cliff for what? Seven years?

That would be a great turn of events. Good thought, Sandra. Since TPTB are bringing Adam back, this would be the optimum way to reintroduce him.

Great idea.

Good to know, Omar. This all sounds really promising. Yes, there have been too many replacements in a short amount of time.
However, Gina is doing a fabulous job. I actually enjoy her Phyllis more than I enjoyed Stafford’s.
(I say while running away).

So true, Omar….I am quite jealous that Y&R snagged JH….it would have been amazing to see him turn up in Port Charles instead of Genoa City….I just hope Justin’s new daytime role doesn’t preclude him from an encore appearance on “Revenge.” Ever since “Patrick’s” too early departure from that show, I’ve been fervently wishing for his return….as a matter of fact, I can “Hartley” wait for him to be reunited with Nolan and Victoria!!!!

Michael Muhney has moved on from Y&R. He’s gone back into feature films and is looking at Primetime/cable projects. He was too talented not to be on a larger platform. He made the character of Adam Newman a force on Y&R and will never be replaced. The role is now being recast, but after reading JH’s comments, he’ll change the character into what he wants, which means the old Adam Newman did die back in January. RIP Adam Newman.

I was hoping they’d revisit the Delia storyline and make Kelly the culprit. I’m sorry, I don’t like nuKelly at all. Now that Phyllis is back, Kelly needs to go.

Justin is a great actor.. that does mean he will be a great Adam..

TBTB waited a year, to bring Adam back.. there is reason for that..
They hope his millions of fans, the ones paid for plane to fly a banner over CBS and so much much much more, that after a years time they would be accepting to a new Adam, hoping all would have forgotten MM and moved on..
I do not see his fans doing that.. they were and are very adamant over it all..

And that is why I said Justin is brave..
He is a good actor, but will he be a good Adam– accepted as Adam.. ??
There are 4.5, 5 million Y&R fans out there, many love MM/Adam.. 😉
