Adam Chance has flown in.
Adam’s a character I remember well from my era of watching regularly (which would be towards the end of the original series). Back then I can’t say I saw much to him beyond the moustachioed Lothario, but already I’m finding him an enjoyable character who has brought immediate new chemistry to the series. In his initial scenes he was something of a threat to Meg, being a figure of authority who had business to take care of with her regarding his friend Hugh Mortimer.
He’s very quickly emerged as a character who is supportive towards her and David. And yes, he is a moustachioed Lothario, primarily associated with Jill who, incidentally, has just returned to the series, having left each of her children with their respective biological fathers. Between this and Diane’s child, it’s evident that the writers understand that soap toddlers can be a hindrance so I’m not unhappy about this development, though I am disappointed that Stan isn’t returning —- even though I knew he wouldn’t be.
I don’t remember Adam being this good looking, but then he’s younger here than I remember. And I’m a lot older than during my Xrds-viewing days.
His arrival feels especially special having recently watched Nolly, which has added more layers to the scenes between Adam and Meg.
