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.
