Make Sense Monday on Y&R: Didn’t Happen…

Sharon’s Mental Breakdown Intensifies

Whoa! Yes, Sharon Newman has lost her damn mind & needs serious help ASAP. Sharon Case has been acting her you know off with the storyline given, but at some point, something needs to make sense. Today she broke into Daniel Romalotti’s apartment yet again presumably using Heather’s key. Sharon thinks she’s invisible in this condominium building in Genoa City on Young & the Restless. Where’s Lily Winters??…

Another Missed Opportunity: Lily Seeing Sharon

Did the Young & the Restless writers forget that they wrote Daniel Romalotti (Michael Graziadei) into buying a condo in the same building that Lily Winters (Christel Khalil) lived in when they were still dating & where she still does? When Daniel cheated on Lily with his ex Heather Stevens (Vail Bloom) there was no doubt going to be awkward encounters in the hallways, except there was not. Now again, this soap opera has missed another opportunity. Why wouldn’t Lily run into Sharon Newman (Sharon Case) during one of her visits to Daniel’s? These last 2 trips to Daniel’s weren’t her first. Even if the script were written for Dead Cameron Kirsten (Linden Ashby) to coach Sharon Newman to wordsmith her way out of running into Lily, it would have provided entertainment value on Young & the Restless.

Sharon’s Shocking Move: Texting from Heather’s Phone

What just happened is what went through every Y&R fan’s mind when Sharon Newman seriously texted Daniel from Heather’s phone to get him out of his own home to plant evidence to frame him. Whoa! Y&R is a soap opera so there is a chance for things working out for Sharon but damn… What a test!! Now Heather’s phone lies with towels stained with her blood in Daniels’ liquor cabinet. Chance Chancellor is now officially back at the GCPD & has been assigned Heather Stevens’ case. His first order of business better be pinging her damn phone.

Faith’s Compassion Meets Sharon’s Resistance

Faith Newman (Reylynn Caster) could not be more worried about her mother Sharon. Faith has been through so much & now she’s part of Sharon’s juxtaposed care team made up of her, her father Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow), & her sister Mariah Copeland (Camryn Grimes). Yet again Faith woke up to her mother being out of the house at a weird time without reason. Faith is now putting herself in Lucy’s shoes after learning her mother Heather Stevens tragically died. Faith wants to reach out to Lucy to be there for her & to listen to her after the loss of her mother. Sure, a serious friendship wasn’t the best fit for Faith & Lucy, but they have hung out, survived a car accident together, & both are sweet girls. Sharon not supporting Faith in supporting Lucy is a huge red flag.

What’s Next for Sharon?

As Sharon’s behavior becomes increasingly erratic and dangerous, what will Nick Newman think when he learns about these recent developments? How long can Sharon keep up this charade before someone catches on to her actions?

Top 5 Takeaways

  1. Sharon’s mental state continues to deteriorate as she breaks into Daniel’s apartment again.
  2. The show misses an opportunity for drama by not having Lily encounter Sharon during her visits.
  3. Sharon takes a shocking step by texting Daniel from Heather’s phone to frame him.
  4. Faith wants to support Lucy, but Sharon’s refusal raises red flags about her mental state.
  5. Chance’s involvement in the case could lead to Sharon’s actions being exposed soon.

    I agree, missed story telling and additions opportunities missed, and more obvious than ever that the current writers of YR do not have the ability to conceive, structure, nor carry through with decent storyline – definitely not the quality we longtime fans expect from OUR The Young and the Restless. We don’t want our “show” going the way of so many others in the last decade 😢. Please, CBS, Please, get a handle on this and get talented writers in support of Y&R. ❤️
