Young and the Restless Spoilers: Adam’s Shocking Blackmail Scheme – Victor Newman Finally Defeated

Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) believes he’s outmaneuvered his father on ‘The Young and the Restless’. Alyssa Montalvo’s (Maria DiDomenico) efforts appear to have produced enough evidence to prove that Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) was responsible for her father’s death.

Using that information, or withholding it, was considered in the time leading to Adam’s meeting with his dad at Society. But their unfriendly luncheon confirmed the worst. Adam is attempting to blackmail Victor, with the trade being silent about the decades-old, apparent crime in return for heading the family’s business.

Victor is admitting, or at least fronting defeat, as viewers will see. But longtime Y&R fans know that the ‘Moustache’ never allows himself to stay down, often playing possum while waiting to strike back against an enemy.

The Young And The Restless Spoilers – Adam Newman Is Like His Father

It’s very obvious that Adam and Victor are similar. But Braeden’s iconic character has it all over his namesake (Victor Adam Newman, Junior) when it comes to wisdom and the long view.

The childish response Adam had to not getting the temporary top spot at Newman Enterprises sparked his latest quest for revenge. It doesn’t matter how many times Victor tells Adam that he didn’t abandon him and his mother, Hope Wilson (Signy Coleman). His second-born son refuses to accept the truth.

Adam concocted his own backstory through the years, coming to believe in a false hardship about his time in Kansas as justification for endless grievance pursuits against Victor. The latest act is simply another chapter in a repetitive loop.

Y&R Spoilers – A.J. Montalvo’s Demise Measured Against Vegas

Y&R fans can project the connection before it’s been made. Adam’s conversation with Chance Chancellor (Donny Boaz) in Las Vegas, Nevada, which Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) recorded and then used to seize control of the Grand Phoenix Hotel, revealed that Grossman’s character killed a man, though that was said to be in self-defense.

Adam has gone to great lengths to keep his Vegas actions concealed. He’s openly stated that he would go to prison if what happened is ever revealed.

If Victor is responsible for A.J. Montalvo’s (a part that’s not yet known to be cast) death, then he was likely engaged in a similar act of self-defense, or the defense of another person, possibly Hope, or even Adam, who would have been a child at that time. So, Victor would surely employ a neutralization strategy if he’s aware, or will come to know, what Adam did in Vegas.

The Young And The Restless Spoilers – Victor Newman Is Invincible

Victor hasn’t always outpaced every adversary. Beyond Adam’s recent antics, Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) walked around as J.T. Hellstrom (Thad Luckinbill), as Phyllis termed it, which damaged his father’s health and reputation. There have been times where Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott), Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman), or others temporarily got the best of Victor.

However, as Y&R’s enduring, lead male character, Victor has never been in a bad position for long. Adam’s arrogance blinds him to history and therefore makes him vulnerable for inevitable reprisal and probable defeat.

    #R0teamAdam all the way. Always and Forever.

    Also, Victor knows what happened in Vegas. Or so he said in a previous episode.

    I’m thinking that both of these guys could have had a hand in whatsoever happened in Kansas. Adam being too young to probably remember what happened and Victor simply protecting his blind wife and young son.

    Two questions here;
    1. Why hasn’t Sharon lost any hair?
    2. Can we please have it turn out that Adam is NOT Victor’s son! He can be A.J.’s and Hopes child, Victor was protecting her secret all along.

    I remember seeing Victor in Kansas with Hope but I don’t remember him killing anyone to protect anyone. Yes Hope introduced Adam to Victor but as Cliff’s son. Hope came to G.C. to get money from Victor to pay a gambling debt for Cliff. She didn’t want Cliff to know that she had got money from Victor to pay the debt and asked begged Victor not say anything to him. Victor was upset about it because he told her that Cliff could get her Adam in danger with his gambling. Victor did go back to Kansas but I don’t remember him killing anyone or having someone killed. This doesn’t sound right coming from Adam and this girl. They need to come with some cliffs about that. If Victor did do something like that why would he write a check for someone to trace it. Come on now, this Victor Newman the man that knows everything that happening around him. Give him more credit than that. He needs to tear Adam a new butt. I’m sick of him always trying to blackmail Victor in order to get his way. Is this what Victor bought Adam back to G.C. for to let him take advantage of him and take his company after he lied and said that he was not interested in running Newman. Adam needs to start his own company and leave his father’s alone. He has done enough damage to Victor to not want to test the waters again. I’m always team Victor. However Victor should not have let Adam get away with poisoning him (switching his medicine). Is this the price Victor has to paid for letting Adam off.

    Id say Victor. He’s a classic!! However, in other matters, I am not that interested in watching Y&R anymore . I record it but scroll through most of it when I go to view it. My favorite character is Tracy and my favorite couple was Victoria and Billy. Now that they have broken up and Billy”s role has changed, I don’t care to watch. I scroll through Mariah & Tessa. They make me sick, all they ever do is kiss, etc. I scroll thru Kyle and Summer, Nick and Phyllis, Amanda and Billy, Lillie and Billy, Lola and Theo. Well, almost everybody, except scenes with Dina, and Tracy and Jack. They are great actors!! And, Sharon, is great too.
