Adam had no idea what trouble he was getting into on The Young and the Restless. When he entered the Newman Ranch, he encountered Ian Ward. What some fans might not know is that the two share a complicated past with a need for a revenge.
Devious Duo
Adam (then Justin Hartley) and Ian (Ray Wise) share an interesting history. One time, Adam posed as Gabriel Bingham. He went under the knife to look like the man after a car exploded between him and Billy (Jason Thompson). Meanwhile, Ian was desperate to take down Victor’s (Eric Braeden) company, Newman Enterprises. He wanted to implant the computer virus called the Paragon Project. Ian used this virus to dismantle Victor’s empire.
Ian was also responsible for Adam revealing his identity. The two also have a history of teaming up to cause havoc on Victor. As Y&R fans already know, Ian is a former cult leader and one of the show’s best supervillains. Ian was obsessed with Mariah (Camryn Grimes). (Find out more about Ian’s obsession with Mariah here.)
Meeting Once Again
It’s been years since Adam (now Mark Grossman) and Ian worked together. The two crossed paths once again. Adam entered the Newman Ranch, where Ian kept his family captive, and probably looked for the nearest exit. That’s when he realized what was going on. His family was in trouble.
Just like everyone else, Adam was shocked to see Ian back in town. He also noticed that Ian held a gun on Victor. Ian told him that they used to work as a devious duo. He asked Adam to join the family. Ian enjoyed seeing the family huddle together. Adam knew how to negotiate with Ian because of their relationship in the past. He asked him to name a price.
Ian shot Victor in the arm. Thankfully, he survives. Victor asked if he finally killed Ian. Adam assured him that he saved their lives. Since Ian is still alive, there’s always the potential for the two cross paths again. Some Y&R fans wonder if it’s possible.
