Ever since she first showed up in Genoa City, Chelsea has been in and out of relationships on Young and Restless, and now that she and Adam have been brought back together again, it seems like it might work this time around. Mixing business with pleasure is often a bad idea, but working together at Newman Media doesn’t seem to have seriously affected their relationship. Melissa Claire Egan (Chelsea) gave her take on the on-again “Chadam” romance in a new interview with Woman’s World — including why she wants it to see a breakup in their future!
What Doesn’t Kill You
“Adam was her first love interest, so the whole ‘Chadam’ connection has been imperative in my 14 years on the show, but this time feels different,” Egan mused. “They seem like they’re in the best place that they’ve ever been, because they’ve overcome so much — which any couple can attest will make you stronger.”
So far, Chelsea has been able to keep Adam on the straight and narrow, even as Victor has attempted to push his son into using Newman Media to publicly damage his enemies. She hasn’t had to resort to extreme measures to keep her beau in line yet, but if they’re ever required, Chelsea is ready, willing, and able to do whatever is necessary, Egan maintained.
“Lately, she’s been the softer version of herself… but then, she can be savage, too,” said the actress. “She did used to be a con artist! So she’s always a little bit of both, depending on which mood you catch her. She ebbs and flows.”
Of course, while Adam and Chelsea appear to be in a very good place right now, soap fans know that a happy couple can sometimes equal a boring couple in a genre fueled by conflict and drama. “Eventually I want them to break up, but not because I don’t love it,” Egan revealed. “I hope Chelsea and Adam are endgame, and Mark Grossman [Adam] is fantastic, but we always joke, ‘We don’t want to be happy for too long.’ Because it’s so fun having someone wrong you on this show, or when you do something wrong. When you’re unhappy, you get the scoop!”
