The Young and the Restless (Y&R) spoilers tease that Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) will hit rock bottom after new episodes return, but what does that really look like for Adam? After all, Adam’s been to some pretty low places in his lifetime! However, Y&R has to tear Adam down like never before if they want to rebuild him as a stronger character with new potential.
On the surface, this Kansas drama doesn’t seem so bad. Adam was protecting his mom, Hope Wilson (last played by Beth Toussaint), so it’s not like he was a coldblooded killer who murdered AJ Montalvo for fun. The fact that Adam was looking out for his mom proves there’s good in him, but Adam certainly has darkness inside him, too.
It’s that darkness that could set up Adam’s rock bottom. Once Adam realizes Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) was honest about the Kansas story, he’ll undoubtedly think about all the ways he’s lost control over the years. Adam will consider the deaths he’s caused along with all his selfish schemes and the other damage he’s done.
Rock bottom for Adam may be accepting that maybe the world’s not out to get him; maybe he’s out to get the world! Adam has definitely battled resentment as well as a sense of entitlement. He takes what he wants because he believes it’s what he’s owed. Whether Adam’s owed or not, he never goes about it in the right way.
Adam has been through some hard times, but so has everyone else in Genoa City. Perhaps the news of Sharon Newman’s (Sharon Case) cancer can remind Adam of that. There are people with worse problems than not getting a CEO position.
Adam has to learn that there’s more to life than money, power and even respect. Love and compassion are far more important.
Adam could easily turn to alcohol as part of this rock bottom he’s facing. He may wonder what kind of person doesn’t remember killing a man and then uses that death to blackmail his own father.
Not to mention Adam kicked his previously abused, mistakenly stabbed sister off the throne to do it! Victoria Newman’s (Amelia Heinle) suffering is also part of all this.
If Adam wants to stop hurting, The Young and the Restless spoilers say he’ll have to stop and think about the people he hurts. Let’s hope Adam can cling to the love of his family with Chelsea Lawson (Melissa Claire Egan) and Connor Newman (Judah Mackey) to push through this terrible chapter.
There’s a way forward for Adam, but it’ll take some work to get to the other side.
