Y&R Spoilers: Adam’s Baby Obsession Turns Dangerous – Will He Kidnap Ruby?

The Young and the Restless spoilers and updates tease that Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) is developing a strange fixation on little Ruby Spectra-Abbott (uncredited baby).

This week, Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) told Adam to stay away from Ruby and Sally Spectra Abbott (Courtney Hope).

Adam won’t listen. As his obsession grows darker, how far will he go?

Key Takeaways

• Adam’s fixation on baby Ruby continues to grow
• Billy warns Adam to stay away from Sally and Ruby
• Chelsea worries about Adam’s desire for another child
• Sally may reconsider allowing Adam to visit Ruby
• Adam could take drastic action if his obsession escalates

Everyone Around Adam Has Noticed His Inappropriate Bond With Ruby

Everyone around Adam has noticed his inappropriate interest in Sally’s baby, which began after he delivered Ruby.

In fact, he had been thinking about the baby even before she was born.

Adam may take extreme measures to protect Ruby; he’s also convinced Billy isn’t treating his daughter properly.

After Billy returned from London, Sally told him that Adam had seen them at the park.

Adam then visited Sally and Ruby at home, making Billy furious; Adam showed no remorse and responded with a snarl.

Adam Wasn’t Pleased Billy Bolted Out of Town As Soon As Ruby Was Born

Adam said Billy had bolted out of town as soon as Sally gave birth to Ruby, leaving them behind; Billy snapped back, reminding Adam that his mother, Jill Abbott (Jess Walton), had been thought to be on her deathbed.

“My mom is fine, by the way, not that you asked,” he said.

Adam showed little interest in Jill or in Billy’s reminder that the crisis had been a matter of life and death for his family—not a vacation.

Finally, Billy warned, “Do not come back to our house unless you’re invited.”

But Adam may keep showing up, pushing Billy’s anger to a breaking point and potentially triggering a physical fight.

Adam’s Ruby Obsession Could Tear His Marriage to Chelsea Apart

Adam’s obsession with baby Ruby could eventually tear apart his marriage to Chelsea Lawson Newman (Melissa Claire Egan).

This week, Chelsea told Abby Newman (Melissa Ordway) that Adam had renewed his request for another child, a subject he first raised a few months ago.

She admitted she isn’t sure she wants another baby and doesn’t want one simply because Sally has had a child and Adam is fixated on Ruby.

When Chelsea asked why Billy was so upset at their house, Adam walked out without answering.

Right now, Ruby seems to have all his attention.

Chelsea Also Told Abby She Doesn’t Think Adam Wants to Reunite With Sally, But There Could Still Be Trouble

Chelsea also told Abby she doesn’t think Adam wants to reunite with Sally, but that comment could foreshadow trouble; although their marriage seems solid, Adam isn’t communicating with her.

He didn’t tell Chelsea he’d visited Ruby at Sally’s place alone; Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) confronted him, and that’s how Chelsea found out.

She wasn’t happy, and the tension may be building; Adam could snap and leave Chelsea.

Adam may try to disrupt Sally and Billy’s marriage as problems emerge in his own relationship with Chelsea.

His presence is already causing tension, but Sally remains grateful to him and sees no issue with his involvement in Ruby’s life.

Billy Disagrees, He Told Adam to Stay Away, But Sally Was Okay With His Ruby Visits

Billy disagrees and told Adam to stay away from the house; but Sally already said Adam can visit Ruby whenever he wants, so he’ll probably return and explain that Billy may be angry.

Sally is likely to confront Billy and urge him to cut Adam some slack, since he delivered their baby.

Billy’s empathy for Adam’s grief over Ava was encouraging—he knows the pain of losing a daughter, having lost Delia Abbott (Sophie Pollono).

Still, Adam may believe Billy is treating Sally and Ruby unfairly; he could try to undermine their marriage or even reconcile with Sally.

His feelings are becoming increasingly obsessive, leaving him confused.

Adam Won’t Make Much Headway in Breaking Up Billy and Sally

Adam probably won’t make much headway in breaking up Billy and Sally’s marriage; but his growing fixation on Ruby could prompt Sally to reconsider letting him drop by whenever he wants.

If Adam becomes more obsessive, she may set firmer limits; and he likely won’t take that well.

He believes Ruby needs him for protection, confusing her with Ava despite Billy’s warning that Ruby isn’t Ava’s replacement.

If Sally pushes back, Adam might convince himself Ruby is in danger and justify extreme action; he could even kidnap Sally and Ruby.

Whether he still cares for Sally is unclear; his actions may stem from rejecting their boundaries—after all, Adam is a known kidnapper.

Adam May Decide Neither Mother Nor Father Is Good for Baby

In light of all this, Adam may decide that neither Sally nor Billy is good for Ruby; last week, he was probably discussing it with Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow).

Adam said Sally seemed unsure how to handle certain things with the baby, while Nick defended her.

It seems recently Nick was telling Adam that Sally would make a great mom.

Adam then pushed back, pointing out something she didn’t know.

Both Victor and Nick have told Adam to stop and take a step back, warning him that his behavior is inappropriate—but those warnings probably won’t be enough to stop him.

Adam May Become More Fixated As Billy Puts Up Roadblocks

If Sally refuses to let Adam stay close to protect Ruby, while Billy keeps putting obstacles in his way, Adam may become even more fixated; he might actually take Ruby and run off with her.

Given Adam Newman’s history, that wouldn’t be out of character.

He kidnapped Faith Newman (Reylynn Caster) twice as a baby.

When Chloe Mitchell (Elizabeth Hendrickson) tried to kill him, Adam had her kidnapped and held for a while.

He even arranged to have Chelsea kidnapped; and those are only a few examples of Adam’s misdeeds when he goes dark.
