Y&R’s Sharon Case Delivers the ‘Power Performance of the Week’

There is no doubt that The Young and the Restless long-running heroine, Sharon Case gave us a remarkable and memorable performance last week on the Thursday, September 26th episode of the CBS daytime drama series, where the entire show was all Sharon Collins in every scene. Case followed it up the next day with her standalone episode in honor of her 30th anniversary with the series, which again featured her in every scene along with some flashbacks.

However, social media was abuzz following the airing of last Thursday’s Y&R where a mentally disturbed and unstable Sharon wound up in a confrontation with Heather Stevens (Vail Bloom) after breaking into Daniel  (Michael Graziadei) and Heather’s apartment, with an intent to originally harm Daniel.

Problem was, Heather showed up and thus began Sharon’s emotional downfall where in gut-wrenching scene after gut-wrenching scene, Heather ends up knocking her head and lands on the floor. She wakes up to tell Sharon, that she’s crazy. Then, Sharon supposedly blacked out and when she came to Heather is dead (or so we think, or do we?). Next, Sharon, at the advisement of imaginary Cameron Kirsten (Linden Ashby), has to pull herself together to dispose of Heather’s body so she is not implicated in any crime.

Perhaps, most striking was after Sharon disposes of Heather’s body over a bridge, she sits in her car and wails and wails in just pure anguish. It is hard to believe that Sharon Case has only won once at the Daytime Emmys for Outstanding Supporting Actress back in 1999 in six nominations. If this show isn’t the episode of the Lead Actress category to beat come Emmy time, it would it least have to be one of the top contenders.

In Case’s standalone anniversary episode, Sharon sits at Cassie’s grave reliving the ups and downs of her tortured life, while asking her beloved young daughter what should she do, now that she believes she was the cause of Heather’s death? There were no other characters in the episode until the end when Nick (Joshua Morrow), Mariah (Camryn Grimes) and Faith (Reylynn Caster) were worried about Sharon’s whereabouts.

Michael Fairman TV names Sharon Case’s outstanding work The Power Performance of the Week, and we are looking forward to all-new episodes this week to see what happens with Sharon! Was this all a nightmare and a dream, or was she directly involved in the death of Heather Stevens?  The bigger question is, what is wrong with Sharon? Is it her meds? Is she on them, or off of them, and are they not controlling her bipolar disorder? Does she have a brain tumor? What has happened here?

Let us know if you agree with our pick of Sharon Case for the ‘Power Performance of the Week’ and what ultimately is the cause of Sharon’s emotional downfall? Share your thoughts and theories in the comment section, and make sure to check out our interview with Sharon Case below where she discusses her red-hot storyline and teases what’s ahead.

Omg what is with the brain tumor diagnosis !!!! Sharon is off her meds and needs to get back on them !!!!! Thought her anniversary was Friday, so end it ! Everyone is so sick of this story line sand puhleeze don’t put her back with nick. He wud only do it out of sympathy !!

Boring, borimg and more boring. Need to do better CBS.

I agree, Sharon—-not only boring, but also dumb. I said this before—-such a building would have a doorman and a zillion security cameras. This is so stupid and nonsensical. And, Chance, as a supposed astute detective, looks like an idiot. Let’s wrap it up. Get Sharon!!

Who said anything about a Brain Tumor? News to me and I watch every day..

Any more of this ridiculous story line you’re going to lose more viewers. End this! Sharon is unwatchable!

I just love watching Sharon the young and Restless. Congratulations on your 30 years on Young and the restless keep up the great performance ❤️❤️

Boring. I slipped most of Awful story line.

If Sharon really did kill Heather, I’m done with it.

Sharon Case did an outstanding job!!!!!

Besides being an awesome actress. Sharon is fine as heck!! She’s just beautiful to watch. The storyline filled me with so much anxiety I couldn’t believe that the writers would put Sharon in this crazy position. it felt like they were writing her off the show and if that were the case ( no pun intended) I wasn’t going to watch anymore .

Sharon Case is knocking it out of the park. I don’t really understand the negative comments here – this sl is worth watching for the performances alone. But Linden Ashby is the best part of the sl. I will hate to see him go eventually.

Sharon really is showing her true skills! But, Linden Ashby is too much!

I thought she was great and the best I ever seen I love that woman she is great.

As someone who lives with bipolar disorder, I am furious with the writing. People who live with bipolar disorder do not go on murderous crime sprees.

Having said that, Sharon Case was absolutely riveting this past week. I was blown away by her performance. If she doesn’t win an Emmy next spring, I will be extremely pissed off.

She was fantastic. Naysayers don’t have any idea of what this “star” is capable of. I was very impressed with her performance. Keep up the great work Sharon. You have advid followers

I’m so sick of this where did she get the strength to do all that stuff to Heather’s body there are cameras everywhere and when they finally track her phone it’s over

Where is Heather’s car? Did Sharon manage to dispose of that too? The whole thing is ludicrous and unbelievable. I don’t know how viewers can buy this crap!

Geez already its a fictional story

It’s just so out-if-order, Violet—-Also, why are there no security cameras in that building?
Is Sharon Case leaving the show?

Awesome performance

This story line has gone in for way too long. And since it consumes the whole show, I have stooped watching.

If you think that’s good acting by sharon…Heather should be mvp of year in acting. I have a sister and brother that are bi polar and manic depressive and they don’t act like that on ir Off their meds. It’s entirely too fakey!

Ridiculous… This better be a dream . She’ll wake up….

Omg Sharon’s performance was just on fire! I thought about it for days afterwards! Cannot wait to see what she does next!! One hell of an actress! Go Sharon

General Hospital

Could Kristen Vaganos and Josh Kelly Be Exiting ‘General Hospital?’

Published

Josh and Kristen

General Hospital fans took to social media following the airing of the Wednesday, October 21 episode of the ABC daytime drama series. In story, Molly (Kristen Vaganos) reveals to Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) that she has received an offer to join the top law firm in Chicago that practices civil law. She says it’s her dream job.

The problem Molly says is relocating from Port Charles and uprooting her life and being away from her mother, Scout and boyfriend Cody Bell (Josh Kelly). Wistful that she may lose another daughter to a long-distance situation (Kristina left a few months back to go to medical school in California), Alexis urged Molly to get Cody to go with her.

Molly still seemed concerned and has trouble committing to the idea. Alexis tells her to talk it over with Cody. Meanwhile, Cody asked Tracy (Jane Elliot) is he can have Thanksgiving off because he and Molly planned to spend Thanksgiving together with their families. After initially balking, Tracy agrees.

WILL MOLLY AND CODY HEAD TO CHI-TOWN?

Later, Cody shows up at Miller & Davis and the conversation turned to Thanksgiving dinner that Alexis is hosting. Molly and Cody asked her not to cook anything. Cody hugged Molly reassuring Alexis that he and Molly would take care of whatever was needed on Turkey Day.

So, this raises the question, why out of nowhere are we learning that Molly received an amazing law offer in Chicago, if the character was not being written out? If Molly leaves the canvas, would the character of Cody make his exit too?

Kristen Vaganos joined GH as a recast Molly Lansing-Davis back in September of 2023 and went on contract in August of 2024. Josh Kelly began playing Cody Bell back in June of 2022. Initial reports were that Kelly joined the show on contract and then as of June 2025 went on recurring status with the show per his choice.

Do you see a world where GH is writing out Molly and Cody? Would you be sad to see Kristen and Josh exit the soap opera? If this is not what is going on, is this just a plot point for some other story that is upcoming? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section.

THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS: Adam Delivers Sally’s Baby as Billy Reels from Jill’s Health Crisis in Tearjerker Episode

Published

Billy, Sally and Adam

The Tuesday, October 20 episode saw The Young and the Restless deliver some deeply-poignant moments in the aftermath of Billy (Jason Thompson) and Sally’s (Courtney Hope) wedding.

The scenes which will be talked about for some time to come, because of how they can impact longterm story, had Adam (Mark Grossman) being the one to deliver Billy and Sally’s baby, while Billy was gut-punched by a phone call from Snapper Foster that Jill had suffered a heart attack in London.

In story, while up in Sally’s room at the GCAC, wishing his ex all the happiness, (because Adam and Billy have no love lost, and he didn’t want to cause waves), Sally’s water broke. In true soapy fashion, all phones were dead. Sally’s phone was missing because it was with Audra (Zuleyka Silver), Adam’s battery ran out etc. Prior to that, Adam did try to call Billy, but Billy did not pick up his calls, as he was with Cane (Billy Flynn) coming to terms with the news on Jill.

TORN BETWEEN RUNNING TO HIS MOTHER OR HIS NEW WIFE AND BABY

Now in the perfect storm of circumstances, Adam is the one to help Sally deliver her baby when she begged him to stay with er screaming, “Please don’t make me do this alone!” Adam reminded Sally that he’d already delivered a baby twice before. She assured him that it will be OK, and not to be scared, because this isn’t the same set of circumstances when she lost their daughter, Ava, during childbirth.

Downstairs, Billy is in tears over his mother. So too is Cane. Cane speaks to Jill on the phone when Snapper holds the phone to her while at her hospital bed. He tells her he loves her. Billy cannot bring himself to talk to his mom.

Cane decides he will go to London. Billy doesn’t know what to do with a new wife and a baby on the way. It’s clear how much losing Jill would devastate Billy. Cane tells Lily (Christel Khalil) what has happened to Jill, and Billy informs Jack (Peter Bergman) before he tries to find his bride who is upstairs in her room.

A NEW ABBOTT

Back in Sally’s room, eventually Adam asks Sally (who is deep in labor), if she thought she was having a girl or boy, and she said a boy. But then, Adam introduced her to her “beautiful, perfect baby girl.” It was a moment laced with so much history for Adam and Sally and Adam and Billy, when you think of the deaths of Ava and Deliah.

As Sally cradled her newborn little bundle of joy, Adam went to go get Billy at her request, and as he made his way to the door, Billy was standing there. Billy is stunned to see his rival standing, but then Sally tells Billy to meet his daughter!

Billy rushes to the bedside to be my his new wife and daughter, with the heartbreaking final shot of Adam emotionally overcome thinking of the baby he has lost with Sally. and how he wishes things could have turned out differently in a bittersweet moment.

EMOTIONAL PERFORMANCES

The episode was laced with hankie-inducing moments from Jason Thompson, Courtney Hope, Mark Grossman and Billy Flynn, who each delivered, to bring this story so much heart and history.  There is plenty of Emmy material within for next year for these four.

You can check out the final moments of yesterday’s episode where Billy meets his daughter for the first time, followed by the final shot of Adam at the door below, followed by our live chat replay with Y&R stars, Jason Thompson and Courtney Hope which streamed immediately after this episode aired in all timezones on the Michael Fairman Channel.

Now let us know, did you reach for the hankies during the episode? Did you like that Adam was the one to deliver Sally’s baby? Do you think something more will happen with Jill? Share your reactions in the comment section.

Steffy and Finn

On the Monday, October 19 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, after Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) stammering around and trying to find a way to couch her lie to her husband, Finn (Tanner Novlan), she finally admits what she has been dreading telling him.

But not before, Finn and Steffy rehash Monaco, Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown), and how it was turning point in their lives (that’s an understatement) with Finn reiterating, “Our marriage is precious. What we have is pure and true.”

Finn promises Sheila is out of their lives for good, and Steffy chokes back tears saying how she wished she hadn’t removed her ring and hightailed it out of Monaco. She says she wishes she could take that back, but she can’t.

Steffy tells Finn she has a lot to say. Finn tells her there is nothing they can’t overcome. Steffy says she made a significant decision while he was away. She goes to to say what a great friend Daphne (Murielle Hilaire) has been to her. Finn asks if Daphne and Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) are still interviewing to find a surrogate? Steffy says they found someone and the process has begun, and its “me.”

Finn gulps, “What do you mean it’s you?” Steffy eeks out of her mouth, “I agreed to be Daphne and Carter’s surrogate.” Finn, who is a doctor no less says, “I don’t understand!” He explains he knows there is a list of medical and legal hurdles someone has to go through before a woman can become a surrogate for a couple. He also tells Steffy he knows she could never carry a child and give it up.

Next, Finn tells Steffy she’s wonderful for considering to do this for Carter and Daphne, but she’ll have to tell them no. Steffy says it’s too late. That while he was out of town they went ahead with the procedure. Finn asks, “What procedure?” Steffy responds, “The fertilization of the eggs.” Finn learns they used Steffy’s frozen eggs and did the implantation and loses it!

“I can’t believe you went and did that! This isn’t something a wife does when their husband is out of town on a business trip,” hollers Finn. He cannot believe what he is hearing and that his wife just went and did this without him! He pushes back on Steffy. demanding answers, “There’s more going on here. What is it? Steffy? Tell me!” We fade to black.

You can check out the pivotal scene between Finn and Steffy below.

Now weigh-in: are you glad Finn is as of now not being a doofus? That he is pushy back on Steffy? Do you think Steffy will continue with this lie or admit she slept with Carter and became pregnant? Either way, would Finn stay with his wife while she became a surrogate for Carter and Daphne? Let us know in the comment section.
