The September 25 episode of The Young and the Restless was just another example of why “Silly” i.e. Sally and Billy, and “Chadam” i.e. Chelsea and Adam are doomed, doomed, DOOMED.

Common Law

All the relationship experts will tell you that in order for a couple to have long-term potential, they must have multiple things in common. Preferably, values, goals, and feelings. Chelsea (Melissa Claire Egan) and Adam (Mark Grossman) have one major thing in common: Connor (Judah Mackey). For a while there, he was all they talked about. But now even Connor isn’t enough to keep them connected.

These days, all Adam and Chelsea have to talk about is Sally (Courtney Hope) and Billy (Jason Thompson). Chelsea wants to protect Billy. Adam wants to grind Billy into the dust on the orders of his father. And it has nothing to do with Adam’s past relationship with Sally at all. Sure, they have the other couple in common, but they can’t even agree on them! That is not a good sign.

We Do Not Belong Together

Sally and Billy once had multiple things in common. Chelsea and Adam cheated on them both. So there was that. And then there was the company they were going to launch together: Abbott Communications. The one that was going to bring down Victor (Eric Braeden).

Billy wants to bring down The Mustache due to their multi-decade-long history. And it has nothing to do with the fact that Adam runs his daddy’s media company at all. But even that has recently fallen apart, as Billy threw in his lot with Cane (Billy Flynn). Sally objected. So Billy threw some word salad at her about how she means more to him than anything. The fact that, thanks to him, she’s lost her career and faith in the man she was getting ready to move in with… well, that was Cane’s fault, not Billy’s.

The Last Word

Sally can’t trust Billy. Billy doesn’t care about Sally. Billy cares more about bringing down Victor than he does about lifting up Sally. Chelsea cares more about protecting Billy than she does about supporting Adam. Adam cares more about pleasing his father than respecting Chelsea. Sally is pushing back on Billy’s excuses. These couples are doomed. DOOMED, we tell you!
