Michael Muhney exits Y&R

After months of speculation, Michael Muhney confirmed via Twitter that his role on daytime's No. 1 soap, Y&R, has come to an end. Muhney was signed to a one-year contract after taking over the role of the villainous Adam Wilson from Chris Engen back in June 2009.

Muhney may have been axed by Y&R, but his character, Adam, was last seen as a burnt corpse after an explosion. The character's death has kicked off a murder mystery set to play out over the next few months.
