Ongoing rumors suggest that Mark Grossman, who plays Adam Newman, may be leaving The Young & the Restless. Over the years, the character has been portrayed by several actors. Before Grossman, who assumed the role in 2019, Adam was played by Justin Hartley. He left the popular soap opera to pursue new career opportunities. With rumors of Grossman’s departure circulating, is this the end of the line for his portrayal, too? Here are the details.

Is Mark Grossman’s Adam leaving The Young and the Restless?

No, the rumors about Grossman’s Adam leaving The Young and the Restless are not true. Neither the actor nor the makers have confirmed it. Instead, a bad Adam subplot has been teased, suggesting that he’s going nowhere.

The rumor stemmed from a Facebook page that claimed Grossman is departing Y&R due to “fire” and created suspense around the real reason behind his exit. It should be noted that the post was misleading and appeared to be clickbait. Grossman’s Adam isn’t going anywhere but will feature in yet another interesting storyline, featuring his darker side.

Grossman earlier took to Instagram story to hint at what’s next for Adam’s character on the show. He shared an image from an upcoming scene, with no caption, leaving it up to people to guess. In the image, he was at Neil’s jazz lounge. He gave a wide-eyed knowing look and had a split lip.

Since Adam reunited with his ex-wife, Chelsea, he has tried to be a better man. Yet, fans still miss his ruthless side, which perfectly suited his character, but the demands of the story have pushed him into his family-man role. Grossman’s latest story could be taken as a hint that he could brawl with Billy, given that he leaves no opportunity to blame him for Sally’s troubles. Another possibility could be him using Newman media for his upcoming sinister scheme.
