Adam's Concern For Chelsea

[Angeldar]

Seemed a bit too concerned for a man who told his partner to move on and now he's all "impressed" with another woman. He even questioned Chloe about her actions. Then Sally goes on to talk about business and she can clearly see that he is not focused on that but concerned about Chelsea. I don't think the whole thing is about Connor either. I wonder if Adam will see, as Chloe told him, that she was too wrapped up with Rey, figuring because he was about the only one to give her the time of day and "forgive her" when Adam could not. Maybe Adam will kick himself and blame himself for not giving her a second chance. If that happens then I guess tough luck for Sally but she can always move on to Billy.

I think Adam should be concerned about Chelsea. She is manic. Chelsea got too attached to Rey. That is not rational,it’s scary.Chloe she be a real friend and tell her that she needs to get some help.

[ShesAllThat]

exactly!! and he recognized her behavior - that is all.

[TwoOfEach]

I'm going to let it play out. Adam was worried and staring at Chelsea across the room, he stormed over to demand answers from Chloe the second Chelsea stormed out, and couldn't get his mind back on business or Sally. Adam has a habit of playing white knight to unstable women, and not only is Chelsea the mother of his child, but they also were married and in love once. Those feelings could pop back up.

[Angeldar]

Thank you! That is what I was suggesting as well.

[soapfiction]

Adam knows better than anyone when Chelsea is triggered....his concern is for Connor. No doubt he has some concern for Chelsea, she's the mother of his son. But he knows what an unhinged Chelsea is capable of.

[ShesAllThat]

exactly!!! to suggest that he is somehow still in love with her and that sally should be worried is not even close to what we saw today. as i said - he knows he is at the edge and what that could do to connor now that he is around. that is his main concern!

[Angeldar]

I'm sorry but I saw it differently and I'm sure we watched the same show..but either one of us could be wrong.....but since I am not the writer I'll wait and see how it plays out..

[Soapfan54]

Totally agree w/you both! soapfiction ShesAllThat

[xoregonian]

If they write it that way and he goes back to Chelsea well that won't sit well with most fans.

There's no way Adam will ever go back to Chelsea again. They would be horrible together. She will always be Connor's mother, but Adam has completely lost romantic interest in the crazy that is Chelsea. jmo

[ShesAllThat]

exactly!!! his interest in what is going on with her is because of his son and nothing else.

[kentucky]

I think Adam is just as "unhinged" as Chelsea. They just express it differently. She shows her emotions while Adam hides his. Adam is unhinged about Victoria and his deep wound over thinking that Victor doesn't love or favor him the way he wants him to. Both have emotional issues.

Adam is undercover, except with Sally, but he is/has lost it over Victor/Victoria/NE. So it bugs me that he and his pal look on at Chelsea with pity when Adam is just as pitiful with his own emotional issues.

[Theresa_Fan]

If Adam wasn't concerned about Chelsea I would be shocked. They barely share scenes but she's still the mother of his child, and he can care about Chelsea, he can love Chelsea and be in love/happy with Sally.

[couplingchick]

I agree … and that’s how I see Nick with his ex’s Sharon and Phyllis over the years as he’s been with tons of different women lol. Sure Adams concerned as the mother of his child but not sure if that means more or not… I don’t mind Chelsea and Adam and I don’t mind Adam and Sally.. I could take or leave either one.

[littleliz]

I think he is concerned for Connor. Anyone knows that she never go enough therapy after all
that she did. Poisoning and pretending to be paralyzed. She really needed extensive therapy
and maybe stay in the hospital that could have helped. Phyllis and Chelsea can get a buy one
get one free therapy session. Both acting hyper.

[zenmaster5]

It was nice seeing the concern Adam is showing for Chelsea. Lately it just seems like he could care two cents about her so this was nice to see for a change. Adam knows Chelsea quite well and knows how she can get when she's on the verge of losing it so it is good that he is getting involved now because it could most definitely affect Connor which should definitely be a concern for Adam.

[tv_junkie_123]

Maybe this will continue the history repeating itself. From what I can see Adam/Sally are basically a repeat of Adam/Chelsea.

- Both started as pariahs and bond over that fact
- Its them against the world and Adam doesn't care what Victor or the rest of the Newmans think
- Adam completely devoted to new love (Chelsea/Sally) and rebukes the previous love completely (Sharon/Chelsea). I think he even gave Sharon that same "We loved each other but too much damage has happened and we are bad for each other" that he gave Chelsea
- No one gets Adam as much as this new love and they have super strong bond

I feel like Sally and Adam are just duplicating Chadam's story.

Now Chelsea was never jealous of Sharon despite Sharon's best efforts to make her jealous (at the beginning of Chadam). However, then Sharon started to have a mental breakdown and Adam decided that he needed to take care of her by himself and that he was the only one that could help. That spiraled into breaking up Chadam the first time.

If they continue to follow the Chadam story beats this could happen again. However, Shadam didn't get together they were only used for Chadam drama. I would hate if Chelsea was only used to cause drama for Sally/Adam. Chelsea has been a character on this show for like 10 years, they should move her on away from Adam.


Also, why are they all acting like Chelsea has always been unhinged. She was a con artist and sometimes made rash decisions but she wasn't a women on the verge who could spiral into a mental breakdown at any minute. This is all new Post stroke. I hope that this is all part of her ongoing recovery and not a permanent part of her personality from now on.

[Angeldar]

I think you've hit it. And no, Chelsea was never like this until her stroke. I know people who have had strokes and this thing can happen to them after having a stroke. Their emotions can run very high. You are right on about Adam and his past as well. This could go the way of what it did once before, just a change of characters.

[DebJN]

I hope they don’t go down that road again. I wouldn’t be surprised, the writers want Chelsea happy and it’s always been Adam. I hope he’s concerned for her well-being and that she’s the mother of his child and not go back with her again for Conner’s sake. Been there done that and I’m glad he finally moved on.

[BlueberryJam]

People desperately want Adam to want Chelsea. He doesn't. The mother of his child is acting like a deranged psycho and he's concerned.

[Angeldar]

I never said I wanted it at all. I only say what I see on the episode or something that is possible. I don't think she is acting like a deranged psycho at all. Mental health problems brought on by some issue does not mean you are a deranged psycho. She may need some counseling to get her back on track. Strokes can affect people's emotional state. As for knowing what Adam wants, well that's up to the wrtiers since he's only a character and what he wants is in the writer's pens. If she is acting a bit unusual again, it's not because of Adam anyways, it's because of Rey's death. In fact, if Adam was sitting at a different table with the love of his life, then why would he even be looking at her and watching her so closely and then questioning Chloe. He has custody of the boy so what's his problem? Maybe guilt for not forgiving her as Rey did.

[ShesAllThat]

that is exactly what it looks like BlueberryJam - why i do not know! chelsea is the last thing he needs!

[Amethyst57]

BlueberryJam I don't know about "desperately"...but then again, its no different than people desperately wanting Nick with Sharon.

[stopthefall]

Honestly I think it’s more about bringing some interest in on the Adam character. Maybe work up some conflict with Sally. They’ve been really stagnant. I never really saw anything chemistry wise with those two in the first place but now it’s just more glaring to me because there’s nothing for them to do except Sally agreeing with everything he says and then they go to a hotel to have sex.

Maybe bring Chelsea into it will make things interesting. I hope for MCE that’s not what they’re gonna do she deserves a better story than that. I have to say saw a little spark (as others have mentioned) with Kyle today. She needs a nice guy to contrast with her spicy personality. One of the problems with Adam/Sally is there is no contrast, anyway I hope MCE gets a really good story and not one where she’s going to have a breakdown again they’ve already done that.

[Angeldar]

They need to do something with Adam. It's the same old thing with that couple. It just might ad a little interest to the episode to see Sally yell at him for a change or have him walk out on her in the middle of the GP in favor of helping Chelsea out. It's called angst for the couple and it happens all the time. Quiite frankly, I would love to see Adam get so involved in Chelsea's problem that it splits him up with Sally and he decides he wants Chelsea back but..she tells him to get lost.

[Soapfan54]

Adam was concerned about Chelsea, because of Connor. No doubt that he himself was also triggered. Remember that he was the object of Chelsea's "wrath" when she was plotting to set him up by poisoning Rey. He had missed all the warning signs/red flags when she was faking still being paralyzed. He blamed himself for Chelsea's mental state, but it still must've been traumatic for HIM, knowing that she was willing to kill Rey just to punish him. So, what would she've been capable of doing to HIM? That would scare anyone who isn't a fool!
On top of that, Chelsea's victim, the biased top cop Rey, was wrongly willing to put Adam away for eternity for a crime that he didn't commit. I'm sure that Adam hasn't forgotten that cycle of events and that would quash any remaining romantic feelings that had remained for Chelsea. Prior to those events, Adam just wasn't "into" Chelsea like that anymore, imo. So, it was easy for her to imagine Adam/Sharon having some kind of romantic entanglement. Even so, Chelsea went to extreme lengths to "punish" the father of her child and the man that she supposedly loved, instead of just leaving him. Rey was gonna be her next "obsession."

I know it's been written that Chelsea was Adam's victim, but it actually was the other way around. Adam is never gonna want Chelsea as a romantic partner again. But he will always try to help her as the mother of the child that they share together. It may affect his future relationships, but will not lead to a "Chadam reunion." Her/MG's "Adam" have zero chemistry, imo.

[Soapfan54]

I do too, Bizzie! No one should feel disrespected.

[Angeldar]

I think sometimes we get so invested in something that we don't want to see it go a different way and we get frustrated to think it could turn into something we don't like. I find myself even getting a bit snippy at someone's view but then I just have to go back and delete what I said. Just so everyone knows, I enjoy reading all the opinions whether I agree with them or not. Up until last year the only person I had to discuss views with was my 90 year old father and he passed away so now I come on here. He watched faithfully for many years. Anyways, thnaks for all the views and opinions. Mine are never right but it's fun to speculate. oh and thanls for the advice about flagging. I have done it a few times now. I don't like to do it but sometimes you just have to.

[xoregonian]

Angeldar I am so sorry you lost your father. My condolences to you. It is very hard.

I agree. Chelsea has hurt Adam many times over the years and he has always forgiven her. Even now, he shows sympathy for her.

I am not getting the whole he didn't give her a second ahce like Rey did. He gave her a job, let her see Connor instead of trying to take custody away from her like she tried with him many times, and even kept the penthouse for her.

Only thing he didn't do was reunite with her because he no longer loves her that way and it would be manipulative and cruel to make her think he does.

Rey also didn't get with her romantically and if he had lived, would have probably rejected her romantically too.

He was totally in love with Sharon.

I love Missy but sadly the show never knew how to write for Chelsea away from Adam.
