The Young and the Restless - MESSAGE BOARDS

Quote Starlight77:


I disagree. This storyline is VERY MUCH About Nick being jealous of Adam getting close to Sharon. If that wasn't the case, there would be no point in PURPOSELY having Nick and phil over to Sharon's house on Halloween. They want to show us that althoug Nick is married to phil, his feelings and in fact love for sharon run very deep. Adam wants anything and everything that meas something to Nick... Newman Enterprises, his father's affection, and yes the very pretty, now available love of his life, Sharon. What better way to hurt someone than to take what they love the most. I just read in SOW that JM says of his character Nick that he will "go to extremes to keep Adam away from Sharon." Don't sound like its just about business to me. He wants Adam away from what he still views as "his". I think that whether Adam was a good guy or bad guy, Nick would still be jeaslous. Phyllis may be married to him, but Sharon has his heart. And as for Phyllis being smater than both Sharon and Ashley, what phyllis is is more devious, manipulative, deceitful, sneaky, and destructive. That is what Adam is interested in. Can't blame the man for trying, he knows who phyllis is, and knows how desperate she is to keep Nick, why not get her help? I don't but somewhere down the line, phyllis may retrack this and try to get Adams help once it come out that Faith is Nick and Sharons baby, then we may see those two devils may be working together after all. And last, just because one may be dumb in love, doesnt mean they are dumb in business. Ashley may be crazy now, but she wasnt always, she was a very succesful chemist and business woman, just too dumb to leave Victor alone. But how does that make Phylls smarter? Phyllis is too dumb and desperate to see that her husband is in love, and will always be in love with his ex wife. So what she's been a webmaster, and editor of a magazine, there are plenty women in GC with just a much business skills as phil if not more so. Lauren and her Fenmore's department store, Sharon was co-owner and co-founder of Crimson Lights, a very successful Coffee shop. Already mentioned Ashleys perfumes. Nikki ran for a public office, and held jobs at both Jabot and Newman, Jill a top executive at Jabot, and Chancelor enterprises. The top Executive Diva, Katherine Chancelor took over her husbands business, and is running it very succesfully. See.... there are many many women who are just as business smart as phil...but only phil is as ruthless as a snake... that's why Adam wants her help.

Quote lovn billy: Are you a Adam fan? Because no matter how much Nick gets under my skin sometimes I still side with Nick. I feel nothing for Adam but content. He doesn't deserve to have it easy. Nick is acting this way because of what Adam did the last time. Nick doesn't trust him and thats very understandable..

Quote niptuck:

lovn billy, you are so right in every way, i can't beleive some are hoping for the best for Adam, and ALL the things this person has done, he has been no thin but trouble and a very Dangerous person i might say, He all but ruined his Fathers Co. look all the trouble caused, then Estella, then runing poor Ashley Crazy, Hiding MJ out (anybody remember) Pretending to be Victors dead wife, Hiding Nikki's letters Having SEX with a Gay Man to get what he wanted, Causing the DEATH of His Fathers Baby, Kidnapping Nick and Sharons Baby and giving it to someone who had lost her Mind, Blackmailing the Doctor, i mean how could anyone want to see him if only but to win over Nick, how small of someone.

Quote lovn billy: Yes I can see your part about Nick and treating Sharon and Phyliss the way that he does..I agree totally. As far as adam though hun I just can't feel it. I just don't feel it.

Quote countryMomof4: And lovin, that is your prerogative. I think when Adam actually broke down at Victor's bedside I thought that he really cared for his Dad. He's hiding behind his need/desire for revenge. I just find him interesting that's all. And now I will duck the shoes!

Quote Demus: I am going to respectfully disagree with many of you in regards to Adam's business sense.

Does anyone remember that ADAM nearly destroyed Newman Enterprises when he was in charge? Does anyone remember that he made BAD decisions for Newman and Neil had to "clean up" his mess because Adam took it upon himself to oust Victoria and Nick! Then turned around and told Neil he could leave too Does anyone remember how furious Victor was when he came back? Does Anyone remember that Victor kicked Adam out of his "high chair" at Newman because he didn't "think" clearly or wisely???

Adam is not the business genius you think he is. He's sneaky. Yes, he has a Harvard Degree. Just because you have a piece of paper doesn't mean you have more knowledge than someone (or people) that have numerous years of ON THE JOB experience. Let's take the Owner, CEO and Founder himself...Victor Newman! He was dirt poor and made something out of nothing due to his ambition and savvy. Victor doesn't have a Harvard Degree but the man is a multi-billionaire and continues to marvel his business colleagues and rivals with his intuity. In real life, let's take Bill Gates! He didn't get an ivy league degree until AFTER he made his hundreds of millions of dollars. So just because someone has a piece of paper from a notable Ivy League school doesn't make them better than someone who doesn't.....for example: George W. Bush

Now, Nick has learned a lot from his father in regards to business and so has Victoria. I think Nick's disdain for Adam should be kept under wraps when dealing with him cuz it just makes the situation worse. Nick is emotional like his mother but is also devious like his father (if necessary). Nick KNOWS Adam is no good and will always be up to no good BUT his undeniable dislike for his half-brother isn't going to hault Adam either. I think we're going to see a very good battle with these two. Adam knows Sharon is still Nick's heart and is also his "achilles heal" and I'm sure he'll use Nick's feelings for Sharon to get to Phyllis at some point in time

IMO...I think the writers are going to have a Nick vs. Adam & Jack vs. Billy story line going for a while. These four will eventually be going at eachother and that's when the fireworks will begin.....and Victor will be back to put that fire OUT!!!

Quote backintheday: If this was a horserace Nick never left the starting gate.Adam was rounding the first corner. When it comes to smarts sorry Nick you lose and Adam wins..Adam has Sharon's trust and company for now. Sorry Nick deal with it!!!!!!!!!!!!! You need to play daddy to Summer and be hubby to Phyliss and leave happy Sharon alone. You got that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Quote Gencor:

The interesting thing about Adam is he is very quick. Nick just keeps standing still and mouthing off while Adam is moving! He is already in with Sharon and now he is showing up at Phyllis's door. Point being that Sharon may be slow to the draw but Phyllis is a very different story. He is hitting Nick on all sides and Nick is blindsided to it. If Phyllis tells Nick about the little visit he makes to her and what she thinks he is after, the ballgame changes if Nick can get up go before Adam makes it to the finish line. Nick is a very slow mover. It isn't that he is dumb, necessarily, but he is pretty slow. Adam going to Phyllis neutralizes Nick on Sharon. He put Phyllis in the position to play her hand or hold it close. He made her the player, Sharon doesn't hold any cards, she is the pawn. Adam knows exactly what he is doing, Nick just hasn't caught up to it just yet. Like I said he is slow. Now, if Nick plans to fight the Newman seige, he is really going to have to step it up a pace or two or three! He isn't a player yet. He needs to quit mouthing off and make a move!

Quote niptuck:

Hi CountryMomo, i wish i could feel A-Bit sorry for this Adam Person but (sorry none here) and if he was so Broken-Up, sitting by his Dads Bed, he should have confessed, for causing the DEATH of his Dads Baby, and Stealing his Sons Baby, NO! "The Seed of the Devil" Himself is as Scheming and Dispicable, Malicious as His Father Satan will allow (and we know there is No End to "Satan and what he won't do)

Quote flygirl1969: I hate Adam with the heat of 1,000 suns but Nick had some nerve. He chose Red so Sharon is no longer his concern! I hope that a romantic relationship is out of the question for Sharon and Adam and I am hoping that the truth is revealed soon. Sharon has suffered enough and she needs her baby. Nick needs to stay out of Sharon's life and bringing his current wife and their love child to her door was completely inappropiate . How about some boundaries ?!
