I love the extents to which Adam is going to help and support Sharon. I know he's done horrible things - no worse than the other Newmans, though - but unlike them, he really does have a heart. I don't buy Victor's false regret He set it in motion to frame Adam and Sharon and he got his own daughter arrested on her wedding day. He clearly doesn't care enough about his grandkids to put them first. His own needs are far more important but Adam is risking everything and giving up everythign for Sharon. He doesn't care about the Newman stock and I don't think he ever did. I think what he wanted was the thrill of taking it from Victor after all that Victor did to him.
Anyway - maybe it's just the actor - Michael is incredible - but I love Adam.
