It seems Hartley is a master at hopping from set to set and staying in character, so there’s no real reason to think he’s leaving Y&R. Why not be one of the biggest daytime stars while playing double duty in primetime?
As of right now, there’s no word that Hartley plans to leave. However, if he does, will Y&R find an even better recast for Adam? No one thought Michael Muhney was replaceable, but Hartley proved himself almost immediately.
