On the latest episode of The Young and the Restless, Billy punched Adam. Fans have been waiting for this moment, and now they’re sounding off. They answered the question, “Was the punch justified?”
Key Takeaways
- Adam couldn’t help himself and ripped into Billy’s failures.
- Then, he mentioned Jill, which led Billy to punch him out.
- Y&R fans debated whether the punch was justified.
- Some concluded that violence is never the answer.
Longtime Rivalry
Billy (Jason Thompson) and Adam’s (Mark Grossman) longtime rivalry had reached a tipping point. Adam once punched Billy. So, it was time for Billy to get his payback.
However, Adam later told Chelsea (Melissa Claire Egan) that he actually felt bad for Billy. Shockingly, he’s growing up before our eyes. Has Adam really changed?
Over on one soap opera message board, Y&R viewers debated about whether Billy’s punch was justified. The original poster wrote, “I know Adam punched Billy once too, but was Adam totally out of line today in your all’s opinion?”
One person responded, “I think Adam was out of line. However, what Billy did was way out of line. I don’t think it was justified.”
Someone else delivered a different opinion, writing, “Yeah, it was justified. Adam has done far worse things than Billy has, so the criticism is pretty rich.”
Meanwhile, someone else argued, “I do not care for either of them, and violence is never justified. I just wish these two would move on. Both have done terrible things, but it does seem like Billy is living rent-free in Adam’s head.”
Violence Isn’t Justified
Most fans can take sides in their rivalry. However, they draw the line when it comes to violence. There’s never a good reason to cause harm to someone else, no matter how much you hate them. (Find out why Y&R fans feared for Billy’s downfall.)
“Violence isn’t always the way to go, but sometimes it’s justified, and in this case, I think Adam got what he deserved!” That same person noted that they love both characters, but that Adam shouldn’t have mentioned Billy’s mom. As for Billy, he should’ve walked away from that moment.
What’s baffling is that both of these men claim they have changed for the better. They say they’ve both grown and changed. And then they resort to their old ways in no time.
One fan added, “Frankly, their continued baiting has become boring and predictable. By now, they both should just walk away. I think they deliberately seek each other whenever they want to vent.”
