Members BetterForgotten Posted May 31, 2019 Members Share Posted May 31, 2019 The fact this character has been recast 4 times in a decade is absurd and indicative of how ill-defined the Newman children are as both characters and actors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members YRfan23 Posted May 31, 2019 Members Share Posted May 31, 2019 It’s honestly so ridiculous that Adam Billy and Kyle have been recasted so many times...Noah too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Vee Posted June 1, 2019 Members Share Posted June 1, 2019 (edited) I think the last two Adams (as in, the current one and Hartley) are fairly well-drawn thus far. MG comes off much better onscreen than in pictures. He's a solid actor and his youth next to Victoria and Nick is finally appropriate. I don't think he is the issue. The fundamental problem with Y&R and character is twofold: 1) Nick and Victoria have been stuck in stasis as characters for years and years, and no one is willing to recast Heinle. And 2) They don't begin to give a fraction of time, consideration or energy to writing for the black cast or the Abbotts or others that they do for either Adam, who is considered a 'marquee character', or for his inert siblings who have no substantive return on investment. Yet the Newman family and children are the marquee characters, and most other folks are chaff. While Adam can be burned down over and over or have an actor quit and they'll still keep re-investing heavily in him. He's good and all, but it's like running on a treadmill creatively. The actor is doing good work - it's about spreading that wealth. Edited June 1, 2019 by Vee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SamandWillowFan Posted June 1, 2019 Members Share Posted June 1, 2019 (edited) That picture made me realize that all of the Adams have had brown eyes except for Muhney. Victor has brown eyes so it makes more sense for Adam to have brown eyes. I'm loving Mark's Adam. Edited June 1, 2019 by SamandWillowFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eboneece Posted June 1, 2019 Members Share Posted June 1, 2019 Totally agree. Hats off to Tony, Josh, and the new casting director Nancy Nayor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted June 1, 2019 Members Share Posted June 1, 2019 The fact we've been having these cutesy, stupid, and boring scenes with Kyle and Lola for 2 weeks straight now is proof of what a lazy, boring, and bland writer Josh Griffith is.

Members Soapsuds Posted June 2, 2019 Members Share Posted June 2, 2019 My favorite will always be Adam #1. Ha....and the story of Adam is played out. Yet, they bring him back again and again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted June 2, 2019 Members Share Posted June 2, 2019 Truthfully, IDK whether I have a "favorite Adam." Engen and Hartley were good, but was either guy my favorite? Again, IDK. Then again, I'm one who thinks Y&R has never imbued Adam with one shred of humanity, thereby making him disposable in my eyes. Maybe that has something to do with it. #shrug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
