“Well deserved,” someone else commented. “Can’t wait to kick off the week with some Y&R.”
“Love this show, it absolutely deserved to win,” one other fan said.
And if you bring back Michael Muhney in the role of Adam, you can almost assure that Y&R will win more awards next year. You’re already bringing back former cast members, let Michael bring Y&R back to it’s glory days… #YR #MichaelMuhney #CBSDaytime
