Adam’s worked hard to redeem himself and earn a spot into the Newman family on The Young and the Restless. Yet, Nikki is still dubious when it comes to her stepson. Her concern about Adam’s intentions has increased since he’s offered to look after Christian while Nick’s away. So should Nikki be worried about Adam?
Key Takeaways
- With Nick in rehab, Adam is helping to look after Christian.
- Adam is Christian’s biological father and, at one time, sued Nick for custody.
- Nikki believes history will repeat itself with Adam and Christian.
Nikki’s Worry Over Adam’s Bond With Christian
Nick’s (Joshua Morrow) addiction has brought the Newmans together. The family is doing everything they can to help Nick, including taking care of Christian. The teen is going through a difficult time as he copes with his father’s addiction.
When Nick checked into rehab, he asked Adam (Mark Grossman) to look after Christian. Adam has stepped up to the plate and visited Christian to offer his support. While Adam’s gesture proves his dedication to his family, Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) is skeptical about him being Christian’s guardian.
There’s no love lost between Nikki and Adam. After all the horrendous things Adam’s done to the family, she has a right to be wary of her stepson.
When Adam returned to town in 2019, he had a chip on his shoulder and immediately set out to cause trouble. One of Adam’s devious stunts was suing Nick for custody of Christian.
Adam is Christian’s biological father, but let Nick raise the boy because he’s a better father. Yet, at one point during Adam’s dark journey, he tried to break up Nick and Christian’s happy family.
Adam later dropped the case and since the years since has worked to redeem himself. Although the other Newmans have accepted the new and improved Adam, Nikki isn’t so welcoming.
Will Adam Prove Nikki Right?
Nikki fears history will repeat itself with Adam spending time with Christian. If Adam starts bonding with Christian, he may want custody of him, which will be crushing for Nick.
Nick is trying to get sober, and Christian is one of the reasons he wants to fight his addiction. Although Nick is on the right path, Nikki worries that one wrong setback, like Adam taking Christian, could be detrimental to her son.
Nikki, along with the rest of the Newmans, will keep a watchful eye on Adam and Christian. Adam admitted he wishes he could know Christian better, and that will happen as they spend more time together. But could Adam’s paternal instincts kick in to create more trouble for the Newmans?
