Has anyone commented on the fact that Y&R has disabled two male characters? Adam is blind and Jack is paralyzed. I wonder if dealing with sudden disability will make them allies.

Of course, on soap operas disabled people always regain their sight or mobility. And when they are cured, oftentimes, for various reasons, they began feigning their malady, for sympathy or to keep someone with them. So when Adam’s sight is restored, he will undoubtedly pretend not to be able to see while he surreptitiously moves about town causing problems for his enemies.

I'm sure there will be a miraculous recovery for both perhaps by next Sweeps!

Too bad it isn't one disabled man with both injuries.

I wouldn't call either of them disabled, or disempowered in any way.  Unless you count Adam's mental problems, which force him to childishly abandon Sharon at the altar in jail, then sulk about it for months when Sharon was done with him because he was so incredibly immature.

  • When Adam bolted from his marriage to Sharon in jail, it was because he thought he had a plan to get her out of jail (attracting sympathy to her). But EVERYBODY thinks he is a jerk because he never told anybody. That was his secret plan. - Marilou

    I didn't even see the show yesterday.  Has anyone told either Jack

    or Adam about both of them being at the same hospital?

    Some catastrophe will happen (like a fire or something) where Adam has to help a disabled Jack out of the structure....or visa-versa.  I can feel it...
