Egan and Grossman Justify ‘Chadam’ Affair
In a chat with Soaps.com, Claire discussed how she’s dealing with the mess involving Adam’s girlfriend, Sally. The actress admits that her character’s bond with Sally has improved, and Chelsea appreciates Sally’s support. However, the hookup with Adam was more of an accident. Egan’s explanation for the scandal is downright hilarious. Check out!
Egan explains that Chelsea didn’t do it purposely and called it an unplanned “second-degree sex.” Yep, it wasn’t “first-degree!” Meanwhile, Grossman adds, “Yeah, it’s obviously not a great time. We were both in happy relationships, so this was super unexpected.” Moreover, he mentioned some alcohol was involved, which wasn’t on their to-do list.
We wonder if this fling turns into something more. The Y&R actress also teases that this isn’t just a two-person drama. According to her, the tension between Adam and Billy will also come into play. She explains, “Even though they despise each other, it’s pretty messed up to do this to Billy.” Clair added, “It’s a whole square of chaos.”
Adding fuel to the fire, Adam’s self-sabotage will continue to open the can of worms. Additionally, Grossman reveals, “Adam’s definitely got a self-sabotage streak. When things are too perfect, he stirs up some drama.” The star believes it’s not right for stable relationships and happy homes but it surely makes for some intense drama!
Now, let’s talk about Chelsea and Adam’s equation! Is “Chadam” a little toxic? Egan expressed, “They’ve been through amazing moments, having a son and really loving each other, but it’s also toxic.” She sees their relationship as a mix of good and bad. Grossman agrees, saying, “It’s not fully toxic.” Hold your horses, as this summer’s storyline is about to get seriously juicy!
