On The Young and the Restless, April 15, Chelsea showed up in Las Vegas to check in with Adam. He refused to return her texts and calls, so she wanted to see for herself what was going on. That’s when she ran into Riza, the woman from his past days as “Spider.” When Adam traveled to Vegas with Nick, he told Chelsea that everything would be fine and that he wouldn’t return to his dark ways. However, his portrayer, Mark Grossman, teased the impact of Riza’s presence.
Key Takeaways
- Grossman mentioned the Riza factor, which could follow Chelsea and Adam all the way back to Genoa City.
- Chelsea has no idea that they kissed.
- Keeping this secret from her could shatter their trust.
Is Chadam Strong?
Up to this point, Chelsea (Melissa Claire Egan, who opened up about her most challenging storyline) and Adam (Grossman) worked out their differences. They have a loving relationship with their son, Connor (Judah Mackey). They also made peace with the past and don’t want anything to do with it.
That is, until Adam returned to Las Vegas, his old stomping grounds. Adam knew he had to tap into his old ways to help Nick (Joshua Morrow) find Matt Clark (Roger Howarth).
Adam’s goal was to keep Chelsea out of it. But she took it upon herself to travel to Vegas to see what was going on. She felt that something wasn’t right. In an exclusive interview with Soap Opera Digest, Grossman joked, “Hey, what happens in Vegas should stay in Vegas, but I don’t think that’s gonna happen.”
Regardless, he’s confident that the super couple can get through this dilemma. He believes their relationship is strong enough. “I think Adam and Chelsea are strong enough — but it just gets really sticky,” Grossman admitted.
Will Riza Impact Them?
There’s also the issue of Adam’s past with Riza (Tina Casciani). What Chelsea doesn’t know is that Adam kissed her to get information out of her. If she finds this out, she could lose all trust in him.
But Grossman hopes that Chelsea can be understanding. She was a con artist and grifter in her past. She had to do things to acquire something. “We all have checkered pasts. So Chelsea, hopefully, can understand. Hopefully she sees that this is for the greater good, so to speak,” Grossman noted.
He explained that his alter ego has taken on his “Spider” persona. Still, it could mess with Adam’s identity, since he heavily relied on it when he suffered from amnesia. Grossman admitted that Adam’s “old Spider life sounds exciting.”
Las Vegas isn’t the only place that’s filled with temptations. Adam’s old life might lure him back. This could lead to some “good fights” between the couple.
