Adam Macy
played by Andrew Wincott
Description
Forthright, principled and mentally and physically tough from childhood, Adam nevertheless has a sensitive side. This used to be apparent in his dealings with half-sister Debbie Aldridge, who he once feared was out to undermine him over the farm's business. After graduating in agricultural economics and working on development projects in Africa he returned to Ambridge in 2003. Step-father Brian Aldridge found it hard to adjust to the news that Adam was gay, and despite Adam's innovations at Home Farm, Brian still favoured Debbie's ideas for the farm's future, until the siblings were united by the arrival of Brian's lovechild Ruairi.
