I haven't been watching The Young and the Restless at all lately, but after seeing some stuff on YouTube, I might DVR it.
This scene DEFINITELY helped me make that choice.
On the December 23rd episode, the legendary Victor Newman had a tete-a-tete with his son Adam, who got caught scheming against him, in jail. Father and son, both in jail for different crimes, really had it out, and its definitely not an overstatement to call the exchange very intense.
You see, Adam wants Victor to arrange for him to get out of jail. Of course, Victor refuses and knocks some sense into youngest Newman, literally. Victor lets Adam know that the Newman name isn't a title that comes with extraordinary privileges. It's something that demands inner strength and requires hard work, which, until now, Adam has avoided. Now, in order to prove that he is worthy of being a Newman, Adam has to show the inner strength that has helped the name perserve for over 20 years.
Eric Braeden is always brilliant, but I was quite surprised by Chris Engen. Playing against one of Y&R's best is difficult enough, especially when you are a newbie like he is. Still, he held his own and made Adam quite sympathetic, despite being a sniveling little coward. He went from bitchy to manipulative to desperate seamlessly. The two actors delivered a top-notch, energy-exploding scene that makes you hope for more between father and son.
