Sharon Newman History

Case has been an integral part of Y&R since 1994. Her character, Sharon, was introduced as the love interest and later wife of Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow). Sharon and Nick, aka Shick, became one of the show’s supercouples. Throughout the past three decades, they’ve had an on-again, off-again relationship. Although they’re divorced, the two are still friends, and Sharon often relies on Nick for support.

In 2024, Sharon had to rely on Nick when she found herself in deep trouble. Sharon’s problems began when she started a new medication for her bipolar disorder. It became evident the medicine wasn’t working when she started having hallucinations of the deceased Cameron Kirsten (Linden Ashby).

“Cameron” convinced Sharon to get revenge on Daniel (Michael Graziadei), whom she blamed for her daughter, Cassie’s (Camryn Grimes) death. Although Sharon was tempted, she realized she couldn’t hurt Daniel or his family. However, things worsened when Heather (Vail Bloom) caught Sharon in her apartment. An argument ensued between the two, resulting in Sharon blacking out. When Sharon came to, she was shocked to discover Heather was dead.

Fearing she had killed Heather, Sharon rolled her body in a rug and dumped it in a river. Sharon tried to keep quiet and even planted evidence to frame Daniel for Heather’s death. However, her conscience got the best of her, and she confessed to Nick.

Although it looked like prison was in Sharon’s future, she was the pawn in a sick game. Ian (Ray Wise) and Jordan (Colleen Zenk) were later revealed as Heather’s killers and the ones who tampered with Sharon’s meds.

Actress Seeking Her Second Daytime Emmy

After her incredible 2024 storyline, Case was rewarded with a Lead Actress Daytime Emmy nomination. This is her second Lead Actress nomination and seventh overall. She was previously nominated for Younger Actress in 1996 and 1997. Case then earned Supporting Actress nominations in 1999, 2000, and 2004, taking home the gold in 1999.

Fans believe that the actress is long overdue for another Emmy win. With her emotional performances from last year, Case has a good shot at putting another award on her shel
