Adam Newman
Victor Adam Newman, Jr. (previously Wilson) is a fictional character from ''The Young and the Restless'', a soap opera on the CBS network. Adam was created by William J. Bell as the son of Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) and Hope Wilson (Signy Coleman), and was born onscreen during the episode that aired on April 24, 1995. Adam left town two years after his birth and was raised in Kansas by his mother, and grew up without knowing that Victor was his father. In 2008, Chris Engen began portraying Adam as an adult. After a year in the role, Engen announced his exit from ''The Young and the Restless'' because of objections over his storyline, and Michael Muhney was recast in the role. Controversy arose two weeks after Muhney's debut when Adam seduced male character Rafe Torres (Yani Gellman). The media accused Engen of homophobia, but the actor dispelled these rumors, saying he was unhappy with his storyline long before the homosexuality plot twist was aired.
The character is known as an antihero, described as "one of the most devious characters on daytime" by ''The Advocate''. He is notable for his relationships with Sharon Newman (Sharon Case)a pairing regarded as "dark" by SoapNet, and Chelsea Lawson (Melissa Claire Egan). Adam has a severely damaged relationship with his father, who often does not accept him as part of his family. In December 2013, Muhney was fired from the role. He made his final appearance on January 30, 2014. Engen's portrayal garnered significant viewer support, while both viewers and critics have praised Muhney's portrayal. In August 2014, it was announced that Justin Hartley had been cast as Adam, making his first appearance on November 5, 2014.
