Many avid watchers of The Younger and the Stressed might have predicted that when Victor (Eric Braeden) determined to mix S.N.A. Media and Newman Media, that Adam (Mark Grossman) would possible not be left answerable for the newly fashioned firm when the mud settled.
For months now, Adam has harped on the purpose that Newman Media was his firm earlier than Victoria swooped in and took it from him. Moreover, from making calls for of his father to stooping to blackmail, Adam has made it no secret that he’s keen to do something to get his firm again and once more lead it as CEO.
As soon as Victor greenlit the S.N.A. and Newman Media merger, Adam assumed he had a reliable shot of working issues. The youngest Newman son made this assumption even supposing Victor has reprimanded him a number of occasions just lately for his conduct and even cautioned Adam that he was on skinny ice.
Effectively, by the tip of the week of August 28, it appears to be like like Victor will title Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) as the brand new CEO of Newman Media. Whereas the choice isn’t stunning to us as we predicted that this is able to be the case, it’s positive to shock almost everybody concerned within the household enterprise, Nikki included.
Nonetheless, nobody will in all probability be extra shocked by Victor’s choice than Adam. Truly, let’s transcend shocked and say Adam is prone to be enraged, and an enraged Adam could be fairly harmful. Particularly, contemplating Adam has confronted a sequence of losses these days. Along with being ousted from Newman Media the primary time, Sally (Courtney Hope) selected Nick (Joshua Morrow) over him and Connor (Judah Mackey) simply left city to go to highschool elsewhere.
With all that mentioned, we anticipate Adam will go on a revenge tour and burn no matter bridges he can. What higher solution to kick off his tour than by leaking the notorious McCall Limitless secret?
Though the cover-up scandal of McCall Limitless hiding the truth that a musician was having inappropriate relationships with underage women occurred earlier than Victor acquired the corporate, Adam might actually spin the story to do most harm to the Newman model. It wouldn’t look nice to the press that Victor found this info and determined to maintain Audra (Zuleyka Silver) employed with Newman Media regardless of her complicit involvement within the cover-up.
Plus, might you think about the headache Nikki would have fixing this public relations nightmare as the brand new CEO in cost? Coping with that form of bother in her first days or perhaps weeks in her new place actually wouldn’t be that glamorous.
We also needs to point out that if our prediction rings true about Adam leaking the McCall secret, it will most assuredly affect Genoa Metropolis residents past Audra and the Newman household. Tucker’s (Trevor St. John) palms additionally aren’t clear because it pertains to the scandal, and that turning into public information might tank Ashley’s (Eileen Davidson) new enterprise earlier than it actually will get off the bottom.
Plus, we think about Devon (Bryton James) would once more be disillusioned in his organic father. Though Jack (Peter Bergman) would in all probability be watching the fallout from Tucker’s secret with a sizeable grin plastered throughout his face.
Whereas we wait to see all that occurs within the aftermath of Victor’s CEO choice, together with whether or not or not Sharon (Sharon Case) goes by means of with legally attempting to take again Kirsten Integrated and forgo the merger, we’ll be paying shut consideration to Adam as we anticipate him being the strolling dynamite of Genoa Metropolis very quickly.
