Fans of "The Young and the Restless" have been waiting in anticipation for news about Adam Newman. After all, his death was only presumed and not confirmed.

In the latest events in Genoa, Chelsea and have finally discovered that Chloe is responsible for the cabin explosion that they believed killed Adam. Chelsea discovered the incriminating ring in Chloe's drawer after all. Now Chloe is on the run, and the life she has been building for the past months are now ruined.

She had another child and was supposed to get married to Kevin. Now she is on the run and is desperate enough to get Victor to help him. But Nick is hot on their trail and it's only a matter of time before something big happens.

Now the question on everybody's mind is whether all these events will lead to Adam Newman actually returning. TV Over Mind made a bold statement and said that he is in fact very much alive. His death was very mysterious, to begin with. Even though DNA was found at the scene, "The Young and the Restless" writers left enough opening for the complex character to return someday.

Celeb Dirty Laundry reports that his storyline could show that he is actually being kept hostage somewhere. Or perhaps, he was able to escape and has just been hiding all these months, or he might even be suffering from amnesia.

Many spoilers say that his character will return just in time for May sweeps. But who will be playing his character now? For the past three years before his death, Justin Hartley has been playing Adam. But Hartley now has a new critically-acclaimed show so chances of him returning are impossible.

Many say that it will be Michael Muhney who will be back to play his character in "The Young and the Restless." Do you agree with this? Share your thoughts and comments below.
