"Adam, being the black sheep of the family, [he] kind of wears that as a badge of honor to a degree," he adds. "And here comes this new person in the family that kind of has a checkered past."

The Young and the Restless actor notes that Adam wants the attention to himself, so having Claire around is not something he'd like.

"So [Adam's] like, 'Wait a minute, that's my role. What are you doing? Get out of here. I want a lot of attention. Bye-bye.'"

Claire Causes Bigger Rift Between Adam and Victoria?

Adam giving Claire the cold shoulder will not sit well with Victoria Newman.

Perhaps the addition of Claire to the Newmans will trigger Adam's dark side.

It won't be surprising if Victor Newman decides to give his granddaughter an important position in the company.

Nikki Newman is currently struggling with her duties as CEO of Newman Media. Perhaps it'll be the perfect opportunity for Claire to join the empire.

Adam will likely be unhappy if Claire gets a position at Newman Media.

For years, he's been eyeing to take over the company but to no avail.

If Claire beats her to it, it'll definitely unleash his dark side once again. Will she be able to handle it?
