Yet Ian returned once again and escaped from prison to team up with Gabriel Bingham, who was really Adam Newman (played by Justin Hartley at the time).

The goal was to take down Newman Enterprises and Victor Newman (Eric Braeden), but he also landed in the orbit of Phyllis Newman (Michelle Stafford), posing as “Fred,” a local fisherman while they were in the Abbott cabin was.
