In the aim of bringing Michael Muhney back to “The Young and the Restless,” his huge fan base launched a petition to call the attention of CBS especially the showrunners. Despite the network’s consistency on being silent amid various speculations of Muhney’s alleged return in the drama, his fans are not losing hope that the day will come that they will be able to watch Adam Newman role played by their favorite actor. In fact, the campaign has already earned almost 2,000 signatures and is anticipated to ink 5,000 more names in the coming days.
Overwhelmed by the love and support of his long-time followers, Michael Muhney responded to the petition on Twitter. His statements are but filled of warm gratitude, hence strengthening his comeback in the popular soap opera.
I've been on a journey for several years. Moved away from the me that fought too many battles and covered up insecurities with ego.

The dashing actor is a fan favorite. His unexpected termination in 2014 caused dismay and anger to the audience. He is said to be the most incredible star who played the crucial role of Adam Newman in the series for 5 years.
One incident presumed to have caused his exit are allegations that he didn’t get along with his co-stars on the set and the claim of Hunter King that the actor groped on her multiple times. The suspicions were vehemently denied by Muhney leaving his supporters divided but as years passed by, they came to realize that Muhney is the best candidate so far for the character.
It is noteworthy that the actor feels humbled with the desires of his avid fans to bring him back in the program. He greatly appreciated that despite his years of absence in “TYTR,” the viewers badly want him back. One of his tweets say, “I just read through all the comments in this petition. Brought tears to my eyes. So blown away by people's passion for my work.”
Should CBS remain deaf and mute on this matter? It is high time that they let the original Adam Newman reprise his role. They will not only satisfy the wishes of their audience, their ratings will be madly affected as well in a positive way.
After all, Newman was not proclaimed dead. The cabin explosion he got involved in the past episode did not show his wake nor burial. It was even reported that his demise is a hoax. It is also said that his character is not written off from the storyline. He will never be killed because Newman is one big name in the series that the show cannot afford to lose.
The future of Adam Newman and Michael Muhney are exciting. Despite the bad memories etched in the past incidents among the cast members, their years of friendship will find a way to heal their strained relationships. It won’t hurt to give away chances, especially to a self-confessed changed man in Muhney. It is rare to see a famous celebrity admit his mistakes and vows to renew his credibility brought by the challenges that he had encountered in the past.
