The Young and the Restless (Y&R) spoilers tease that Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) will need to deal with the trauma of what happened in Kansas when Y&R returns with new episodes. Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) exposed a secret that he’d been keeping since Adam was just a kid. He’d hoped that Adam would never find out, but he ultimately had to reveal that Adam killed AJ Montalvo.
Of course, there’s a key part of this storyline that hasn’t played out yet. If Adam’s going to face what he’s done, he’ll have to remember it first. Adam blocked out the awful memory, so he’s unwilling to accept Victor’s version of events right now. That needs to change, so bringing back Adam’s memories of that terrible night is the only way.
Chelsea Lawson (Melissa Claire Egan) already seems to think Victor’s claims could be true. As soon as Adam revealed Victor’s story, Chelsea became nervous. She could immediately tell this wasn’t something Victor would make up – especially because Adam wasn’t really the villain in this scenario.
Adam was protecting his mom, Hope Wilson (last played by Beth Toussaint), but things took a dark turn. Although Chelsea’s putting on a brave face and supporting Adam, she’s understandably worried about what’ll happen if Adam indeed killed AJ.
Will talking through all this with Chelsea bring some memory flashes? That’s one possibility to consider as this storyline moves forward.
Another option would be for Adam to have a series of horrible nightmares – each one bringing him closer and closer to the confirmation that he truly killed AJ. That’d be an especially useful way to go under the circumstances.
Mark Grossman could film scenes like that alone on the sofa, which would be ideal since there’ll be so many safety protocols and social distancing measures in place when The Young and the Restless returns to production.
It’s easy to imagine Adam eventually waking up horrified after all the pieces fall into place. Adam’s memory of killing AJ may be unblocked through his dreams, which would leave him to figure out what’s next.
We’ll pass along updates as other Y&R news rolls in. The Young and the Restless spoilers say Adam will have to decide whether he’ll become a better man or let the darkness take over.
Although Adam may do the latter for a while, we’d say he’ll eventually find a way into the light! CDL’s the place to be for exciting Young and the Restless spoilers, news and updates.
