Top 8 Soap Recasts Who Made Their Role Their Own!

8. Justin Hartley as Adam Newman, The Young and the Restless

Hartley had some mighty big shoes to fill when he became Adam Newman on Y&R, a role previously played with huge popularity by Michael Muhney. Adam returned from the alleged dead with a new face and name (Gabe), making it easier for Hartley to transition into the role. While Muhney only took over the role in 2014, he’s made it his own, creating magic with Melissa Clare Egan’s Chelsea and giving Genoa City a new supercouple.
