For many fans of , it’s been hard to watch Connor Newman (Judah Mackey) continue to struggle with OCD. His story becomes even more heartbreaking in the episode airing on May 21, when he hops on a video call with Adam (Mark Grossman) and (Melissa Claire Egan). During the call, he essentially apologizes to his parents for having OCD and suspects their lives would be easier without him in it.
Of course, their son's words simply gut the duo, who do all they can to reassure him that they love him unconditionally and are better people for knowing him. Connor takes in what they’re saying, but we can’t help but feel he’ll need a lot more reassurance from them in the days ahead. Now throughout this process of helping Connor, we’ve noticed that Adam and Chelsea have become increasingly more amicable with one another and have shared a number of tears and hugs.
Considering where these two started in their journey to help Connor, which was bickering and at each other’s throats, this is a vast improvement for the exes. Adam and Chelsea have grown to lean on each other more, and it appears that they have not been as reliant on their respective partners, Sally (Courtney Hope) and Billy (Jason Thompson). As a matter of fact, we’d venture to say that in the last few weeks, Chelsea and Billy have not been spotted on screen together nearly as much as Chelsea and Adam.
While one could argue that Billy is giving her space to help her son, and the Abbott heir is busy these days trying.
