The Young And The Restless Spoilers: Chelsea’s Bridesmaid Plan Backfires – Adam & Sally’s Old Feelings Reignite?
Chelsea seems surprisingly comfortable with Adam’s lingering concern for Sally, but getting closer to his ex could become risky if Sally and Billy’s future ever falls apart.
The Young and the Restless spoilers document that Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) still cares deeply about Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope).
Chelsea Lawson (Melissa Claire Egan) appears to be okay with that, rationalizing his feelings as tied to the baby he and Sally lost during birth.
Sally will always care for Adam, but she’s moved on. Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) became the love of her life. That happened unexpectedly and in large part because of Adam and Chelsea.
With the baby Sally and Billy are expecting on the way and their October wedding just around the Fall corner, a surprising offer was made. Chelsea is set to become one of Sally’s bridesmaids.
Key Takeaways
- Adam still cares deeply about Sally
- Chelsea accepts their lingering connection
- Sally asks Chelsea to be a bridesmaid
- Billy and Sally are planning an October wedding
- Adam and Sally’s old feelings could resurface
Connor Newman’s Name Was Referenced
Let’s back up a bit before we go forward. Viewers recall that Connor Newman (Judah Mackey) hasn’t been seen in a while. He’s been a recurring character who was said to have shown interest in a school that has a strong baseball program.
So, apparently Connor will be off-screen for the near-term. A return is always possible, as is a recast or a SORAS (soap opera rapid aging syndrome) to an older character when that happens.
Adam’s focus is split between the needs of his son and the angst he continues to have for Sally’s pregnancy. Meanwhile, Chelsea is managing his behavior and doing a decent job at it.
Is Chelsea Newman’s Perception Reasonable?
Chelsea loves Adam and has for many years. As has been true of his other loves, she’s kept her distance from him and thought that they might never reconcile.
But this couple has been solid for an extended period. That makes sense because of their shared history, which includes the first son she and Adam had, Riley Newman (Malachi Barton, as seen in a fantasy sequence), who was miscarried, Connor, and their sharing Newman Media’s revival.
However, it’s fair to wonder if somewhere in the back of Chelsea’s mind she’s fully comfortable with Adam and Sally’s connection. Chelsea is arguably Adam’s most meaningful love, but he’s never truly gotten over Sharon Newman (Sharon Case), let alone Sally.
Adam Newman Sees Chelsea Lawson Individually
Adam isn’t playing a game or fooling anyone intentionally. He reunited with Chelsea because his love for her is strong.
Their reconnection happened because of the shared intensity surrounding Connor’s obsessive-compulsive disorder diagnosis. He’s come a long way since then, and his parents have learned how to help him and keep themselves from needlessly worrying about a situation their son is handling well.
Chelsea isn’t his fiancé or wife because she said marriage isn’t something they need to do. But is that how he really feels, and if they remain legally untied and something happens between Sally and Billy, as it inevitably might in daytime, who would she lean on?
Yes, Adam, or maybe, if Chelsea develops a solid friendship with her, then Egan’s character can serve in a healthier confidant role than Grossman’s character could. That might be a part of Chelsea’s underlying, subconscious strategy, and if so, good for her.
