Has Sharon Newman been in hiding for too long & fans are just no longer used to her at this point? Or, is something serious up? She mentioned her new bipolar medication to Nick Newman. Could Sharon’s updated medication be making her nutty? Her reaction to Connor Newman’s progress was a bit much. Who is her pharmacist on Young & the Restless?
If Only Genoa City Had a Pharmacist, or a Doctor on Y&R
Young & the Restless may as well change its name to All Ages & Mental Health Challenges. Between young Connor Newman (Judah Mackey) & his OCD to legacy character Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) & her alcoholism, Genoa City residents of all ages are dealing with mental health &/or substance abuse challenges.
What Genoa City had a pharmacist or even a doctor to help its residents through these challenges? Where’s Dr. Elena Dawson (Brytni Sarpy) when Genoa City needs her?
Sharon Newman is BACK, Now With New Meds on Y&R
Sharon Newman (Sharon Case) is back from wherever she was on Young & the Restless. Social media has been busy with loyal Sharon fans missing her & wondering where she has been & if she is okay both in real life & on Y&R. Almost out of nowhere Sharon is back & she’s at least a little nutty.
Young & the Restless fans did learn from Sharon’s conversation with Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) that she is on new bipolar medication & she’s having trouble sleeping. Changing medications can be tough. How tough will this change be for Sharon?
Team Connor Includes Sharon & Nick, Extreme Support
Sweet Sharon’s support of Connor today was well received by his parents Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) & Chelsea Lawson (Melissa Claire Egan) but was a little above & beyond. While there is no doubt that Sharon Newman means well, her abundance of support for Connor’s breakthrough was at least a bit over the top. Adam’s brother Nick is also very “Team Connor” right now. For whatever reason, Nick Newman is in charge of the Newman Jet & its availability. At least, for now, Nick & Adam are getting along & working together well. Of course, Adam & Chelsea can use the jet to visit their son Connor.
What if Genoa City had a pharmacist &/or a doctor?
Would Connor be able to come home? Can someone check on Sharon’s meds?
What was up with Nikki Newman’s shortest time in rehab ever?
Now Ashley Abbott (Eileen Davidson) is checked into in-patient care just outside of Paris. Perhaps Memorial Hospital in Genoa City on Young & the Restless should be “Now Hiring”…
