‘The Young and the Restless’ (Y&R) spoilers star Mark Grossman (Adam Newman) hints that he doesn’t mind taking things to the extreme with his on-screen character. In fact, he admits that he’s pretty surprised that it’s taken this long for his character to land in the mental ward! Here’s what he has to say.
Speaking to Soap Opera Digest in a new interview, Mark said that playing the prodigal Newman son has definitely been a challenge, but a challenge worth taking. He also says that he’s been having a lot of fun.
He told the publication, “I feel like I might lean in a little too dark at times, but that’s in part with how fast we have to shoot. If Adam is going to the loony bin then I have to justify how he would get there, so it’s always tricky if I’m taking this too far. I feel that’s the danger with this stuff, that it could fall into caricature land. The hard thing is keeping this grounded in reality and making it as real as I can.”
‘The Young and the Restless’ Spoilers: Mark Grossman Doesn’t Mind Taking Things To The Extreme With Adam Newman
When asked if he sees any silver lining to Adam being committed, Mark said, “I hope there’ll be some redemption on the other side of this. What I do like is that people are always saying that Adam is a sociopath, but sociopaths don’t have a conscience and this shows that he does have one.”
Mark also explained why his character is so against his father Victor Newman (Mark Grossman) lately.
He explained, “It goes back to Victor covering up Adam’s part in A.J.’s death instead of helping to deal with what he did. That was such a huge thing that Victor kept from Adam for his entire life and he feels a very deep sense of betrayal. Their relationship has always been that push and pull, and butting heads. Whether he wants to admit it or not, deep down Adam wants to be loved by his family, but anytime Victor does anything, Adam is always suspicious of it and wants to know what’s really behind it.”
