Should Y&R's Sharon ultimately be one-half of Shadam, Shick, or Shiktor?

Oh the perils of Sharon Newman (Sharon Case) on The Young and the Restless! She has now successfully managed to wed all the powerful Newman in her young lifetime! Which begs the question, “What’s wrong with her?” Or, begs the statement, “Good Going, Girl!” Whatever the case, many fans are seemingly outraged and some seem to like her latest coupling, when Sharon and Victor wed last Friday while Vic was in prison blue, while love-of-his-life Nikki finally got some answers to who killed Diane and was on her way to tell him!
Now Adam (Michael Muhney) is pissed, sad, betrayed, and shocked, and so too is his brother Nick (Joshua Morrow)! Each of these men has had a tortured past with Sharon, and they still can’t help themselves from loving or trying to protect the beautiful blonde.
So we ask, what man should Sharon ultimately be with, thus forming the following duos? The couple called “Shadam” (Sharon and Adam)? The couple better known as “Shick” (Sharon and Nick)? Or, the couple that could be now known as “Shiktor” (Sharon and Victor)?
Let us know your thoughts, soapers!
It looks like the current run of Lucas Adams (Noah) and Tamara Braun (Sienna) on The Young and the Restless is coming to an end, after the Monday, August 3 edition of the CBS daytime drama revealed that Noah and Sienna are leaving Genoa City and heading back to Los Angeles.
In the storyline, Noah informed his mother, Sharon (Sharon Case) and half-sister Mariah (Camryn Grimes) that he and Sienna made the decision to move back to the West Coast to put distance between themselves and Matt Clark (Roger Howarth). Although Noah did not say it was a permanent move, he did assure his mom that once Matt is hopefully gone from Genoa City they could return.
However, as previewed already on the video teaser for this week’s episodes of Y&R (see below), it appears Noah left Genoa City’s The Shadow Room to be run by a returning Danny Romalotti (Michael Damian). So with that, coupled with today’s episode, it would appear the move could wind up being more permanent.

COMINGS AND GOINGS
Adams made his Y&R debut on November 4, 2025 as the successor to Rory Gibson who last played Noah on-screen in April of 2023. Earlier in 2025, Gibson took over the role of Michael Corinthos on Genera Hospital replacing Chad Duell, who stepped away from the part after 15 years.
Braun who played Adam’s mother on Days of Our Lives when she was Ava Vitali and he was Tripp Dalton, first appeared on Y&R back on October 14, 2025, where we soon learned she had become Noah’s lover as the new character, Sienna Bacall. It should be noted, Adams was on contract with the number #1 soap, while Braun has been on recurring status.
With Josh Griffith now exited as head writer of The Young and the Restless, and the newly announced co-head writing team of Jamey Giddens and Dan O’Connor having taken his place and starting their new tenure this week, it will be interesting to see how the duo resets the show, and if a Noah and Sienna return is in the cards for the future or not.
So, what do you think about the seeming departures of Lucas Adams and Tamara Braun from The Young and the Restless? Weigh-in via the comment section. But first, check out our recent live chat with Tamara and Lucas on the Michael Fairman Channel.
Rosie O’Donnell revealed that she plans to head back to a seat at the table of ABC’s morning talk show The View.
The announcement came during Monday’s episode of The Tangle Podcast where she shared she will participate in “in whatever way they want” her or “just as a guest” for its upcoming 30th season.
The View’s season 30 will kick-off this fall in September. O’Donnell explained, “They’re bringing back all the hosts, I think. And, you know, I’m pretty proud of that show, what it’s become and how it really speaks to the people and to politics.”

ROSIE ON HER PREVIOUS GO-ROUNDS ON THE VIEW
As fans of The View know, O’Donnell famously had two different one-year stints on the talk show in 2007 and again in 2014- 2015. She often feuded with then co-host Elizabeth Hasselbeck.
However, during her discussion with host, Kyle Ridley on The Tangle Podcast, O’Donnell also noted she often had tense moments with longtime moderator and anchor, Whoopi Goldberg.
O’Donnell also expressed, “Many, many people got the short end of the stick there. It was, you know, it was a factory where people were being churned in and out and their tenuous security, nobody got to be calm. It also was a show at the time that was run by a man. A show created by a woman, for women, about women, and the man was deciding what we should talk about. And that didn’t sit right with me, you know.”
Back in 2023, Brooke Shields had asked Rosie on her podcast, Now What? with Brooke Shields, about how she felt on her two stints at The View and all the controversy that surrounded it. Rosie at that time, stated, “I know this, it’s not the best use of my talent to get in a show where I have to argue and defend basic principles of humanity and kindness. It was not something I’d ever do again.”
You can check out the clip with Rosie and Kyle Ridley discussing her return to The View in some form for its upcoming 30th season below.
Then weigh-in: Would you be excited to see Rosie, even for a one-day or a week guest stint on the upcoming celebratory season of The View, or not so much? Let us know via the comment section.

Either Shadam or Shick are fine.
Victor and Sharon are gross.
Michael, I’m trying to send you my feelings about the first week without OLTL and I can’t seem to type in the captcha code right.. I have tried several times and keeps saying incorrect.. Can’t get in contact with you ….What can I do???????????? This is the only way I could do it!!!!!!!!!! Can’t get past that code… Is there a better way to get in contact with you?????????? Can you please help me?????????? I had some pretty good comments about OLTL ..BOO HOO!! Can you solve this problem for me??? Is there another way I can send you a message!!!!!! It’s tough getting past the captcha code.. It’s IMPOSSIBLE!!! PLEASE HLELP ME! Have any suggestions… Again, CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME??? Waiting for your reply…
Susan what Captcha Code? Are you taking about in the CONTACT section of the site? Or, are you talking about individual posts?
yes the contact section of the site………..
I feel that Sharon should be with Nick.. Although I am liking Shiktor.. Shadam is a sick pairing, hate it..
I wish I cared.
I say at this point none of them. Let my girl raise her daughter and please MAB quit trying to ruin this character. Victor is using her, Nick could never be faithful to anybody and we just can not get past the baby switch with Adam even though I think MM&SC have great chemistry.
I just do not care anymore. Genoa Citizens have become beyond stupid and I cannot care anymore. And any regard for marriage and family is gone. How can we root for these characters when their decisions and actions are so unbelievable?
First of all ,can I please say these terms – Shadam,Shick or Shiktor make me want to hurl.
Can we speak English please !!
Secondly, getting a little tired of Sharon… not the actress – the character.
I like Sharon Case and if I had to choose – I’d want her with Adam.
There’s real fire and passion there….despite all the pain he’s put her through.
It seems to me that Bill Bell created Nick and Sharon as a couple for the long-haul–it’s his successors who have failed to understand this. MAB has DESTROYED Sharon as a character to the point that it seems like 75% of the show’s fanbase just can’t handle her anymore. Soaps are supposed to be about escapism, but Sharon gives women a bad name. How can anyone think this is good writing?!?
MAB and her henchmen have screwed up just about every character on Y&R. Sharon has been through enough. Please give her a backbone and a career to keep her busy. She doesn’t belong with Victor and she definitely does not belong with Adam. As someone mentioned, Bill Bell created the pairing of Sharon and Nick and hopefully they find their way back to each other. Sorry guys, I loved Phyllis with Ronan. They totally sizzled as a couple and he cared about her.
Adam Newman is the BEST character. He is such a disgusting pig! Morally bankrupt, emotionally retarded, super cocky, twisted beyond the twist, and I love it! Sharon is so lame w/out him.
I don’t see her evolving with Nick. She’s too complacent w/him and everyone knows she’s so uber temporary where Victor is concerned. I mean, it’s only a matter of time…
I don’t care who wimpy Sharon ends up with. Right now I’m thinking there must be a place in hell for Victor. He has manipulated everyone because of his personal likes and dislikes to the point of interfearing in everyones life, but mostly his own family. He should be accountable for framing Billy, he should be accountable for his duplicity in the marrow transplant for Billy’s daughter, as should the hospital for being part in the lie and participation. Really, the hospital and staff would be censored at least. Victor and his money do not make him in any way less guilty, under the guise of benevolency. Marrying Sharon, serves them both right. It is stupid to say the least. Well, we all know how that will last! Who cares?….
You strike a chord in your comments I think we should address. I am all for morally ambivalent characters, but part of what makes them fascinating is that dififculty for them to stay on one side of the line. They need to be knocked down a peg and travel redemption road a bit. Adam and Victor do not seem to do that or learn from their wayward journeys. After a while, I cannot care. A holiday episode or near-death experience is not enough. You are right… Who cares?!
Aron! Sharon and Adam!
Who cares anymore? Sharon is ruined. Nick is ruined. Phyllis is ruined. Adam is the devil. Victor is has a God complex to end all God complexes and is incapable of learning. The past few months of character assassinations are just more in a long series of kicks in the teeth from the writers to the fans.
sharon newman is getting on my nervous. her charactor is pathetic now. she cant be on her own. always needs a man. what a whiny whiny slut that she is. time for her to be written out. please bring back kimberlin brown as sheila carter she was faboulous intresting and kept us on your toes. sheila needs to come back now. michael fairman i enjoy all your articles especially on the last few weeks of one life to live. i also love you because you know what to say on the video interviews. you made me cry on the erika slezek interview. god bless you michael fairman. i was in the closet for years. im a gay man. you all my children inspired me to come out and im ok with it now. proud of who im. i hope you read this. thank you michael.
The problem is MAB, SH and HS. Think back to 10, 15 and 20 years ago; Y&R was nothing like this. No soap is safe these days. The writers have to listen to the fans and we also have to hang in there and support our shows. There were times I was frustrated with AMC and OLTL, but I hung in there until the end. I miss those shows so much.
I’m over Sharon and Nick. You can only get back together so many times. Besides Nick will sleep with anything that ‘s breathing. Victor and Sharon NO WAY, makes me want to barf. I think Sharon and Adam should get back together.
I don’t care for Sharon anymore. I actually fast forwarded her “love” scenes with Adam today.
I think Sharon needs to join a convent. She is a lost cause.
