Sheila Carter is alive but who did Steffy Forrester Kill that night?
Real reason Sharon has been MIA in Y&R
Sharon Newman, or should we say Sharon Collins since she is single right now, played by Sharon Case, is hands down one of the favorite characters of Young and the Restless. She’s not just a coffee shop owner; she has a lot on her resume. Besides running the coffee shop, she is also everybody’s “go-to” person when they need a friend to talk to and unwind about their stress and troubles. That’s because she’s got a psychology degree too, making her Genoa City’s local psychologist. But that’s not all.
So, Sharon, already juggling two professions, decided to add another to her plate. In the latter part of 2023, her old obsessive stalker, Cameron Kirsten, resurfaced and she ended up defending herself by stabbing him to death. Surprisingly, she later found out that Cameron had left his company to her. So, she handed over Crimson Lights to Esther to run it, allowing Sharon to focus on being a businesswoman.
At the time, she was also dating Chance, but Sharon decided to end things because she felt it wasn’t right to string him along when he could find real love elsewhere. With her focus now on her new business venture, Sharon discovered newfound confidence within herself. In early 2024, she revamped Cameron’s old business and relaunched it as Cassidy First Technology. She even had a dream episode that was all about her. She was having her spotlight moment, and everybody loved seeing how she was the center of attraction. But then, it suddenly came to a halt again.
After finally receiving a storyline she deserved, the writers decided to pull back just when we thought we were getting more of her. So where did she go? Well, the last time we saw her was in Claire’s dream episode where she and Nick were still together with both their twins, Mariah and Cassie, alive.
Sharon is a Daytime Emmy-winning actress, so it’s just unfair to not give her a storyline. While there’s a lot of business drama happening on the show, the fans want to see how Sharon’s company is doing too. They’re rooting for her to explore new adventures beyond just work—like forming another great friendship like her bond with Drucilla in the past, filled with fun and heartfelt moments.

Speaking of romance, Sharon’s chemistry with her past love interests like Nick or Adam has always been electric. So, if the writers aren’t going to bring them back together, they should at least introduce a new love interest for Sharon. I mean, it doesn’t have to be the main focus, but it keeps things exciting, you know.
When a key character like Sharon goes missing, fans notice. Thankfully, it looks like she’s coming back again with more screen time. Ashley has been going through this multiple personality disorder, and her family members are worried about her. So, Jack called up Sharon to help her. Hopefully, this means we’ll see more of her in exciting new storylines and not just as support for someone else’s plot.
