Fans of "The Young and the Restless," one that longest running soap opera in the U.S., have been on the very brink of their couches anticipating for CBS to finally unveil the new cast to take the role of Michael Muhney as Adam Newman.

Avid followers may rake through the internet all they want to search for news regarding who the production will cast as the new Adam Newman, but it seems like their efforts may most likely be in vain. In the recent release of CBS Soaps in Depth, spoilers about "The Young and Restless" have been dished out saying that fans will still need to wait for a few months before the new Adam Newman reveals his face to the whole Genoa City.

In an interview with Soaps in Depth, CBS executive Angelica McDaniel said that now that they have already finished writing for summer's episodes, they will be proceeding to fall story lines.
"The summer is almost all written, so basically we are in to the fall story lines now," said CBS Daytime head. "You're going to have to wait a little longer."
