Chosen fan?

Nope. I'm just as anguished as @Vee was to learn that Ben [!@#$%^&*] Gavin once auditioned for Y&R's Adam. (Also known as, the Most Un-Castable Role in Daytime History, lol).

I think they've only had one bad Adam...it's just that Adam is the one who got all the hoopla, banners, and so on.

Per the latest Soapy episode, Elizabeth Hendrickson auditioned for the role of Michelle Bauer (Guiding Light) at the same time Rebecca Budig did.

She could have been a decent Michelle recast at that time - she might have had less of a generic feel than Budig.

I think Budig did great, but Hendrickson definitely would have been a more natural predecessor to Bethany Joy Lenz. But on the flip, Lenz's take on Michelle probably wouldn't have been that much of a reset as it was from Budig.

I disagree. I think we've had, what, four Adams? And none of 'em have turned in what I would call a definitive performance. (Not even Justin Hartley, who, IMO, came the closest). All these years later, and I still wonder why this show doesn't just kill him off, along with the rest of Victor's offspring.

I put that more on the writing, and the show's inability to write compelling relationships for Victor and his children. I don't think anything with that family has worked since the mid '90s.

The only Adam that has worked for me was Michael Muhney. Mark Grossman comes close in second, though.
