Adam had no idea he ran over Delia, responsible yes, but not a murderer

[Tish N]

OK. So I am tired of this storyline. Adam is responsible for Delia's death.. Let's be real. Adam had no idea he ran over Delia. He was in anguish over his child's eyesight loss. He was trying to deal with it.

Delia was left in the car with the dog while her FATHER went to get ice cream. Billy knew he should not have left her in the car. He told her not to get out. The dog jumped out and Delia followed.

Adam found out what had happened the next day when he heard about Delia's death. He had no idea.
Should he have gone to the police? Yes.

Is he a cold-blooded Killer? No.

Have Chloe and Billy tried to kill him in cold blood? Yes.

I agree with you 100%. I even wonder if it was Adam that hit Delia but the writers have made it so, can't change that. In any case, it was dark, it was night, Delia was wearing dark clothing; it was an accident and Adam is not to blame at all. He even got out of his vehicle and looked around when he thought he hit something. In this case, he is not a cold-blooded murderer; however, there were 2 incidents from way back that I remember that were questionable. One was the man that Adam donated his bone marrow to and he was killed at that costume party, supposedly by Adam and there was the doctor standing next to Adam on a curb and it looked like he was pushed onto the street and was hit by a car. It was not proven in court that Adam killed Richard Hightower (the bone marrow recipient). Adam has also saved lives 3 times I can think of: saved Faith twice and donated an organ to her, and he saved Noah from a fire when he was younger, so I think that balances him out lol.

[afinebalance]

rike ~ same here. either way, I think Billy and Chloe should acknowledge that it was an accident and whoever hit Delia did not see her. Nothing more could have been done anyways, as Billy came out from the store right away after buying ice cream, looking for Delia.

[footnie]

To these folks who say it might not have been Adam who hit Delia, a piece of her black witches costume was found underneath his vehicle, so don't forget that part. Unless Victor set up his own son. Which he very well might do...

[afinebalance]

footnie ~ there could be another explanation to the costume fabric being found underneath Adam's vehicle. he possibly came along after Delia was hit and ran over the fabric, maybe after she had been taken away by ambulance or some other scenario.

[Natural blonde]

Adam has killed two people. One was Richard Hightower, don’t remember the other. Plus, he caused Ashley to miscarry. He tried to kill his father. He had Victoria charged for the attempt. I love the fact that Victoria is making him squirm. It will only last a short while because Adam always comes out on top. Right now, I am loving Victoria and her wrath.

[afinebalance]

It was never proven in court though that Adam killed Richard Hightower. That was an awful storyline with Ashley.

I vaguely remember he went back in and saved Abby (or Ashley/Stitch?) in the high rise fire too.

[Natural blonde]

There is not one single act of kindness that will redeem Adam in my view. Richard Hightower’s son was left an orphan. He set Nick up for the murder.

[afinebalance]

Oh yes cutecurls, I think you're right. good memory you have.

Doctor Taylor who Adam blackmailed him into giving Ashley a hysterical pregnancy...... Adam gaslit her so badly she almost died... He made her fall down the stairs, cause of scaring her and she lost the baby which Adam cleaned all up and threw it in the fire place.. UGH

He dressed in Sabrina's purple dress and black wig and used recorded voices of Sabrina around the ranch to try and drive her insane for no reason just because Adam felt like it..

Doctor Taylor wanted to come clean and tell the truth and he and Adam fought so he shoved him into moving traffic.. Adam was relieved when he heard he was dead at the hospital...

Just ghastly what he did to Ashley, Sharon and then killed the doctor who could come out and tell the whole truth which is what the doctor wanted to do...

[afinebalance]

yes, that storyline with Ashley was ghastly.

[BellaCuore]

afinebalance That s/l is etched in my mind... Same with the way Brad died then later following Colleen.....Made me so sick..

Ashley however was tortured beyond belief and suffered which nobody deserved that.. Just despicable..

[thecourt99]

Yup. This is the storyline that is in my head. Not Delia. It's worse because Ashley wasn't really around when Adam was caught for all this, and we never really got to see Ashley go off on him (at least not to my satisfaction). We've also never seen Abby do the same (again, to my satisfaction). There was more focus on how this hurt Sharon, and I agree, but I think Ashley's pain should have been considered more than it was.

[xoregonian]

I'll never believe Adam hit Delia with his car. There are facts and evidence that don't add up, but I can't get back into all that for the millionth time.

Why bring this up now?

[footnie]

A piece of her costume was found on the frame of his vehicle!!! He did it!!!

[Penelope P]

Part of the blame was that Billy never locked the car before he went into the store. Telling a child not to go out is asking for trouble.

[Rubythroat1]

Adam is not responsible for the death of Delia. I watched that whole episode over 25 times and all Adam did was swerve to avoid hitting Dash the terrier who got out
of Billy's SUV. Delia followed Dash. There was no thump or even a bump that would have alarmed Adam to hitting something.
The witch costume scarf could have blown up into Adam's bumper while Delia was already on the shoulder of the road. He is NOT responsible.
End of story.

[WorldTurner]

JG wrote the story. He says Adam was the driver. JFP said she did it to setup a lifelong feud between Adam and Billy. At this point Billy is really the only one who still has an issue with Adam so looks like she accomplished that. The big problem was what Adam did after the accident and nothing can change that.

[BellaCuore]

That was a big problem..

Adam stood silent and would not come forward when he figured it out, but was willing to take Delia's cornea's for Connor..

This is why rewriting so Adam isn’t the one who ran her over is pointless. He still thought he did and handled it in such a disgusting way, and like you said, nothing can change that.

[Emerald Greens]

Exactly how the things he did after can’t be erased .
I understand wanting to make Adam a workable character since he’s on the show but it doesn’t erase all his actions especially with what happened with Delia.

[DepecheMode_Fan]

Adam hitting Delia was an accident, but Billy Boy knew what he was doing when he left a 6 year-old girl alone in a car at night. He will always bear more responsibility for Delia's death.

[Rubythroat1]

This subject has been a dangling plot line since the incident happened. It has never been properly handled or resolved. There was a hit and run driver
and the show just let it land at Adam's feet.
Every time the subject opens another door, there are so many yays and nays, beliefs and non-beliefs, that it becomes pointless.
Until the show decides to once again open that can of worms and resolve it once for all, it is in the Dead Zone. Or, Purgatory.

ICAM and thank you!

Add to that, there was a little piece of yellow plastic from Adam's front right blinker which was found at the edge of the road (where I believe he hit a branch or something) that would never have broken off if he hit a child. No bump, no thump and a little piece of plastic. The scarf would have wrapped around the next vehicle that drove by. Adam is forever innocent of killing Dee in my book.

[Rubythroat1]

Two people who were on the road at the same time as Adam, were Nicki and the woman who reported seeing Adam at the site. That woman reported Adam
to Paul and they never followed that up. I always wondered if 1. Nicki was driving under the influence. 2. That woman hit Delia and lurked around watching
Adam when he swerved for Dash. Then she tucked that witches scarf into Adam's fender and then reported his license plate.

[Theresa_Fan]

Delia's death was truly an accident. I think Billy blames himself more but he acts out at Adam. He left his child alone in a car at night (It's one of the donts as a parent) but I don't see them changing Adam as the driver because they can always play up Adam vs Billy. The only reason they showed two other people is to throw us off. It's a shame too because they didn't need to kill Delia to ply up Adam vs Billy, considering their last names. But Adam's coverup is what makes him awful in this scenario. He should have been honest.

Adam has grown but his treatment of Ashley back in the day was brutal.
