As BuddyTV reported earlier this month , a new Adam will be wreaking havoc in Genoa City. The Young and the Restless has recast Chris Engen with Michael Muhney, a seasoned actor who is credited for his roles on Veronica Mars and The Huntress. It’s an unexpected move that has left fans of the long-running soap somewhat divided especially since the recast doesn’t revolve around money. Evidently, the Engen is unhappy with the “dark direction” his character is headed for and has reportedly walked off the set during filming

The Young and the Restless: Chris Engen Breaks His Silence Over Adam Recast
Another actor on the long-running daytime soap opera The Young and the Restless has reportedly walked off the set during filming. The issue doesn’t revolve around money though, because this time it’s about sex. Chris Engen, who plays the “straight” Adam Newman on the show, refused to kiss co-star Yani Gellman in a scene. Gellman plays the only out gay character on the show, Rafe Torres. Since Engen was unhappy with the “dark direction” that his character is headed for, he stormed away while working on the show. He was far from pleased about the recent developments that Adam has undergone, particularly kissing another man. He may still be under contract with the soap, but they’ve already found a replacement for him: Veronica Mars’ Michael Muhney.

Contrary to ongoing reports, All My Children was never in danger of coming to an untimely demise unlike some of its villainous characters. A spokesperson for ABC Daytime disproved rumors reported by TV Guide Canada that the network came "this close to canceling AMC . Real close. Scary close." When the news swept across the internet, many fans of All My Children started to worry. Aside from reports that ABC nearly pulled the plug on All My Children, there were other factors that contributed to fans’ fears. First of all, the show’s ratings have eroded steadily over the past few years, and even the top-rated The Young and the Restless has recently been forced to trim its operating budget. Additionally, there was talk about All My Children ‘s ailing financial situation with Brian Frons, president of daytime for Disney-ABC Television Group, confirming that the network is having to "negotiate salaries down," including daytime’s best-known diva, Susan Lucci (Erica Kane).
