Was Shactor what MAB meant when she said some summer SLs would send viewers over the edge? As if Y&R can afford for any more viewers to go over the edge? This show is on the way out, whether it is a decision made a long time ago by the higher ups or whether it is MAB’s foolish pride. Either way, the people in charge have no regard for the viewers. With this nauseous SL on the way, it’s a good time to start weaning off of Y&R, I think. Nothing is going to change and/or it’s going to go off the air.

They’ve turned the Sharon character into such a hypocritical whore it’s not even funny. It’s bad enough they write her as being nothing without a man beside her, but the characters they choose to pair her up with only makes Sharon look even stupider and pathetic.

Putting her with the man who stole her baby was not the smartest idea. The character of Adam did nothing to actually show he was sorry (aside from say it, which even then, who would believe it?) yet there was Sharon standing by his side, breaking out of prison, abandoning her children, going on the run all for the man who stole her baby.

Then she faked her death and fell into the arms of yet another man. But throughout that saga, the one thing she couldn’t stop thinking about was her baby-knapper.

And then we decided to marry Victor. Need I say more?

And when these writers try to make the character appear independent, they screw it up big time by having her make stupid decisions or decisions that make her look like a hypocrite.

In all honesty, the Sharon character is one of the reasons I don’t tune in to this soap. I would be far happier if either the writing for her changed drastically or if she just leaved the soap entirely.

I would love to see a radical Sharon Newman storyline, one in which she discovers strength within herself, perhaps while working on a timely social cause, not in any revenge or payback tale. This would allow Y&R to pick up that baton that several now-departed serials in which excelled, yes, but also for Case to spread her wings as an actress, and for Sharon to break out of the Newman family… perhaps for good. And this could be done over a long-term storyline, not just a couple showcase episodes (as B&B seems to do). I love redemption and self-improvement plots. Sharon may not succeed first time out but the journey and discovery for herself… and her son and daughter, could be so satisfying.

Sharon & Victor…ugh. Actually, Victor & anyone…ugh. He is the most miserable S.O.B. , never getting his comeuppance. Ridiculous.

I agree that Sharon needs to either be turned into a strong independent woman capable of running her own life or depart. I fast forward through most of the scenes she is in .. not due to the actress…due to the insipid story lines she is put into over and over. She needs to be taken out of the Newman family orbit – including working for them. It would be great to see Sharon start her own company (wouldn’t her buying Beauty of Nature be a kick in the ass to ALL the Newmans?)

the writers need to change some of the stupid storylines. why does sharon always need a man. she is pathetic and needy. sharon case is a wonderful actress. victor newman and sharon yuck i think i am going to get sick. maria arena bell needs to get fired or leave because the ratings are going down. her storylines have been bad for over 2 years. i love debbi morgan as harmony slash yolanda. give her s ome better material to work on. i have a feeling jess walton who plays jill will not come back after her 6 month leave. i hope that i am wrong. why not recast and bring back brenda dickson for 6 months. i also loved brenda as jill. she was the 1st jill foster abbott. jess walton i adore her. i am going to miss her.

I love that nick & phyllis are get marred and for sharon to hear nick say he love phyllis is awesome and I hear that sharon is going to lose every thing in her life by mess with victor and I am glad that they are making nick grow up and to see had nick & phyllis handle sharon been with victor and trying to tell their daughter who loves victor.

I will be boycotting the show will this disgusting relationship between Sharon and Victor goes on. I have no desire to see a man old enough to be Sharon’s GRANDfather be in a relationship with her. What really gets me is, what in hell did Sharon Case ever do to Maria Arena Bell to get stuck with this craptastic storyline? Barf bags all aron

I will be watching much less of Y & R. Victor and Sharon yuck. Phick yuck. Especially since they are making Phyllis pregnant. Have always hated the pairing of Nick and Phyllis. Double yuck.

All I can say that if this storyline does come to life, it is just plain wrong on so many fronts. just the age difference is so glaring. Sharon is the mother of his granchildren for goodness sake. At least when Brooke got together with Eric, on the Bold and the Beautiful there were no children to consider. Now Faith is going to call grandpa Newman, Papa??

Sharon and Victor is all sorts of wrong. I mean, he’s been her father figure all these years and now they’re going to burn up the sheets? Gag me, and gag me hard.

MARIA ARENA BELL NEEDS TO GO!!!

This will no doubt be vile, sick, perverse and disgusting – the ratings will continue to plummet!!

Who cares what Sharon does anymore? I mean, really. Who cares? She’s such a tool.

MAB has something against Sharon Case ever since she came on board to write she has killed this characters integrity. And for the record Ms. Case has spoken out about how upset she is over this and her & Eric Braeden are very good friends. I would like to slap MAB”s arrogant face myself. I was furious when I heard the rumblings of this why does she need a man but then they make all the women on this show needy and stupid. And for the record Sharon is not any more of a whore then the character of Phyllis.

I don’t care who they pair Sharon with anymore – as long as it’s NOT a Newman…so tired of that !Actually I’m not even fond of the character.

There should be a drinking game to go with every time Victor says his company lost million of dollars because of Michael’s not calling the SEC commissioner.

Hogan Sheffer did such good work on ATWT it is a shame HE isn’t head writer. He is probably undermined and has story ideas vetoed by MAB. Her arrogance will kill this show. Unfortunately, like at all the Y&R companies, nepotism seems to rein with the Bells.

Just watched my first episode in a long time. Never could stand Sharon from day one and I mean day one! I still miss the Brooks sisters! Those days (70’s- early 80’s) had much better
