Young and the Restless shows that Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) knows Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope) is pregnant again, it’s bringing up a lot of feelings for Adam, and it’s going to affect him in a very profound way. Even worse, Sally’s having that baby with Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson), who is the man that Adam despises most in this world.
So, we’re going to talk about Sally’s baby bombshell pushing Adam to act out because he is unexpectedly heartbroken. This comes straight from an interview with the writer, Josh Griffith.
Young and the Restless Head writer Josh Griffith On Adam’s Reaction
So, Young and the Restless head writer Josh Griffith recently did an interview talking about Adam’s reaction to Sally’s pregnancy. And Josh said it is going to be earth-shattering for Adam emotionally. So, it all started this week when we saw Billy take it upon himself to tell Adam that he and Sally are getting married and she is also pregnant.
And we all know Billy should not have told Adam that. But I’m sure Billy wanted to rub it in Adam’s face that he’s the one making Sally happy. And Billy has made it clear that he and Sally are building this whole life together. But in the end, it was her place to tell Adam that she’s having a baby, not Billy’s. Especially because of the tragedy that happened when Sally and Adam lost their baby girl, Ava. Also, Sally wanted to decide when to tell people, but Billy just couldn’t zip his lips.
Adam Hits Back at Billy on Y&R
Adam said he’s happy for Sally and the baby, but then Adam snarked that Billy is going to be a terrible husband and father. Later in that same episode, Adam told Chelsea Lawson (Melissa Claire Egan) about Billy and Sally having a baby. Initially, Chelsea was annoyed because she thought Adam was really bothered by the news that Sally was marrying Billy, but it was more than that because he told her about the engagement first.
So, when Adam told her that Sally is pregnant, that’s when Chelsea started to understand Adam’s agitation because of little Ava, the daughter that he and Sally lost. So apparently this initial first negative reaction that Adam had is just the start of something bigger. He is going to continue to struggle with Sally’s news and it’s going to deeply affect Adam.
Young and the Restless: Adam Goes Unhinged
And in that recent interview, head writer Josh Griffith said Adam is going to basically melt down over Sally’s pregnancy and Adam’s strong reaction may cause problems for him and Chelsea. The writer also said, “Finding out Sally’s pregnant hits Adam on this profound level.” And he said Adam is seeing his enemy Billy, somebody he hates, about to marry Sally, a woman that Adam lost.
Not only that, but Billy’s in love with Sally, and they’re having a child together after Adam and Sally lost their precious little girl. So, this is shattering for Adam. The writer also said that Adam is feeling protective because he dislikes and he distrusts Billy. Also in the interview, the writer said Adam isn’t pining for Sally romantically. He reinforced that Adam is in love with Chelsea. But Adam is certain that Billy is going to do his usual thing and will break Sally’s heart before all is said and done. So, not only is Adam feeling protective of Sally, but also of her unborn child.
Adam’s Drive to Protect Sally’s Baby on Young and the Restless
Basically, Adam’s attitude is he didn’t protect their daughter Ava, but he’s going to do all he can to protect the baby Sally’s now carrying. It’s just instinctual in Adam. And when it pops up, when these feelings come up, he can’t stop them. And it’s going to impact others in his life, Chelsea obviously. But also Sally and of course Billy. And to his credit, Adam tries to fight these feelings that he’s having about protecting Sally’s baby, and he’s going to initially downplay it. So Josh Griffith also hinted that this could cause a divide between Adam and Chelsea.
And Sally, of course, is going to have some feelings about it, too. For one, she doesn’t like how much Billy likes pushing Adam’s buttons. And of course, Billy never should have dropped the baby bomb on Adam. Not only will that annoy Sally, but as we know, Chelsea does not like to see Adam and Billy at each other’s throats.
So, while this is going on, Sally and Chelsea both have the attitude that their men are behaving badly and they are wondering if it will ever stop and when. And as things amp up between Adam and Billy, we’re going to see Sally and Chelsea pushing back because the strife between Billy and Adam affects them so much.
The Y&R History Between Adam And Billy
And of course, at the heart of a lot of this is the death of Billy’s daughter, Delia. He blames Adam, but honestly, there’s plenty of blame to go around. It’s been more than a decade. So, I’m going to remind you real quick. So, Billy left Delia and her puppy in the car all alone. Billy ran into the store. The puppy got out of the car and Delia chased him onto the road. And she was in this pitch black outfit. And it was late at night. Adam was driving by.
He saw the dog run across the road and he swerved to avoid it and he hit Delia. She was in some bushes and he never saw her. Adam had no idea he hit Delia. He didn’t see anything. So, he drove off and Billy found Delia injured on the side of the road. He got her to the hospital, but she later died from her injuries. So Adam realized it later when he found Delia’s scarf tangled up in the grill of his car and Adam panicked and he burned the scarf. So the thing he was guilty of was destroying evidence after an accident because that’s what it was.
But Billy decided that Adam had done something wicked when it was a simple accident, a tragic and terrible accident but nonetheless an accident. Bottom line, Billy will never forgive Adam for Delia’s death. And Adam probably won’t forgive himself either. And that’s why Chelsea and Sally are honestly chasing windmills, thinking that there will ever be peace between Adam and Billy.
Young and the Restless: Adam’s Worries are Justified
But it’s also fair for Adam to assume that Billy will inevitably break Sally’s heart because Billy’s personal history points that way. There’s a line of broken hearts behind him and he’s a very inconsistent human with addiction issues. You know, his gambling is a problem. So, that’s why Adam has this irrational and unexplainable drive to protect Sally and her baby from Billy.
There’s a lot of guilt for Adam, rightly so. While Sally was dealing with the one-year anniversary of their baby’s death, Adam was with Chelsea in Baltimore and they were hooking up. Granted, Adam was there for Connor, but at the same time, he wasn’t there for Sally when she really needed him.
And of course, Adam can’t go back and make that right. He can’t undo cheating with Chelsea, which is another sore spot for Billy. But it’s not going to go well if Adam tries to interfere in Sally and Billy’s relationship, even if he’s not trying to get Sally to reunite with him romantically. And of course, Billy is going to freak out. He’s not going to let this happen.
Young and the Restless: Adam’s Actions Could Cause Chaos
If Adam starts meddling with him and Sally or trying to derail their wedding or take shots at their relationship, anything like that, with Adam thinking he’s doing it for the greater good because Sally is going to be heartbroken, it’s just not going to go well. Chelsea’s not going to put up with this.
I doubt that Sally’s going to put up with it. And bottom line, based on what I saw in this interview, Adam’s going to come unglued soon and start acting out in ways that Sally, Billy, and Chelsea are not going to like. We’ll see how it goes. But in the end, if it’s not going to wind up reuniting Adam and Sally, I don’t think fans are going to appreciate any of this, but we’ll see.
