There was a lot beautiful about Chadam. As an AFF one of the best things was seeing Adam be light after so much dark. He was funny and charming and genuinely sweet. He always showed flickers of it with Sharon but their love was/is more intense and passionate. I know most say it as a bad thing but there was/is an obsession with them. They just couldn't stay away from each other and I love obsessive love in my soaps.

Saying that I saw the beauty in Chadam as outsiders who were damaged people who did bad things but could carve out something special just for them. It was nice and sweet. Their honeymoon is one of my favorite moments with Elmer the mouse. The proposal was classic romance. But I knew as a AFF he would return to type and thought Chelsea would get that even more then Sharon. I was wrong. So wrong to the point its disheartening. When I see how Chelsea has responded to Adam's lies and mischief I'm aghast at how needy and wishy washy she is. I thought she was a fighter. I thought she would be the one to get how and why Adam does what he does. Then to top it off in comparison to his other crimes this stuff with Sharon was child's play. I thought she would be more underhanded and ruthless not whiney and screechy. Not run away to make things okay.

I didn't need her to be a doormat but if she is so upset and "doesn't trust him" after this and ready to leave at the drop of hat then its best Chadam go their separate ways. Watching Adam with with Jack reminded me again who Adam is. Paying off doctors, hiding "dead" bodies (I'm not convinced Adam doesn't have a hand in that set up). I love that part of him as well. For the character that needs to stay. For the woman I would want for him wouldn't run away but look on curiously at his actions. Probably not condone them but not run away. I feel like if he was to actually tell Chelsea what happened she would clutch her pearls and give him a lecture as well as threaten to leave him again. Me no likey. Sharon wanted and saw good in Adam but was drawn to his dark side. I liked it because she was the "good girl" so it was interesting for me to see the pull. I also got everytime she would run away. I agreed with her but knew it wouldn't last.

But "bad girl, con artist, screaming rape" Chelsea doing the same because of a few lies and a kiss makes me scratch my head to just throwing things. Does she not know who she married? Does she not know who she "loves"? Adam isn't and never should be all rain proposals, fancy clothes, GED helping, sweet and funny guy. He's the hiding dead bodies, sleeping with guys to hide his crimes (I love him forever for that, classic), switching babies, destroying evidence against his great love and yes hiring arsonist, hiding exes kind of guy. He's that too and I never want him one or the other.

I'm not even sure I want Shadam again. They will never last for any length of time but I believe they will always love each other. As dark and dysfunctional it may be. But I'm 99% sure Chadam needs to separate because they are not who I thought they would be. I've been conned.

Side note: I think Billy needs to cut his losses. I adored Villy, I love me some Billy but I am so sick of him falling on the sword for Vicki. He needs someone fun and a little less straight edged. Someone not so much running to Daddy and puts him first flaws and all. Someone that will have to fight for him for a change. I think my boys needs to be free.

Oh and as a Phick fan I must say I do love me some Jack and Phylis. Broke my heart when he said he need her help. I adore them. Heck I adore both regardless but this is getting good for them. I never saw them as a pair but they are so good together.

Chloe, Chloe, Chloe... I used to adore her. What happened? Kevin perhaps? I really can't take her. She and Phylis were my girls. Only females I liked. Then it was Adam, Billy, Jack and Michael as others but damn I can't take her esp. with Kevin. UGH!! I want to say free her but I think its a lost cause.

I really like Noah and Summer actors. Good job Y&R. Wish they did better with Fen.

Speaking of them I must say MS is so good in mommy mode. I love Phylis with Daniel and now with Summer. The P&D scenes broke my heart. I would expect that but I've been almost equally as touched with the Phylis and Summer scenes. Bravo!

I think Neil works so far with Leslie. Though he voice drives me a little crazy, we shall see.

Lily and Cane...still ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ I see.

Lastly Nacho (Alex) really has aged. Not a bad thing but seeing him was just a bit shocking and no I saw no chem with he and MCE (Chelsea).

Oh and good to see my Victor hate in tact though I do love me some Victor and Adam scenes like that had at the GCAC.

And done! :)
