That bozo, Rey, is still on here? Good grief.

I support this story and am glad we’re not going to have another string of secrets Sharon keeps from everyone. The focus should be on the illness and how people can find strength and purpose in dealing with it. Yes, we’ve had cancer stories before, but there are new cases developing every day and some reminders are not a bad thing. On the artistic side, maybe Emmy-neglected Sharon Case can get a story worthy of recognition in the Lead Actress category. After all this Theo/Mia/Tessa nonsense, I’m looking forward to this tale and hope it’s told well.

I think it wonderful that these extremely important issues are brought into soap storylines. It gives women a medium to learn about them and shows them ways to bring family and loved ones into the care and solutions. I hope Josh et al can do justice with this very important storyline. Finally some meat for Sharon to show her talents other than wiping tables. I hope the story of Dina and her Alzheimer’s will continue as well. It may not be a pretty s/l but it hits home for many who have loved ones with this disease.

Sharon Case & Jordi Villasuso are going to slay this. Not only is it an important story but it will hopefully push all the Adam/Chelsea/Connor garbage to the backburner. They are eating the show alive.
I look forward to seeing Sharon tackle this with her man and her kids.

Not another one!
Story will be dead in the water!, Similar to Nikkis ms, michael baldwins cancer, jills quick heart condition revovery.
The last real medical health awareness story was Ashleys cancer. It was complex and also played into several umbrella stories like Brad turning to Olivia, Abby finding out her real parentage and Victor being told.
Josh isnt talented enough to do it justice and I can already gaurentee Sharons condition is only written because Josh doesnt know what to do with her and all will he forgotten come summer when Josh is shown the back door

I hope this storyline lasts longer then three weeks glad to hear SC is finally going to get a storyline of her own!

This will be a fantastic story-line for Sharon Case. This might be next year Emmy worthy. I’m glad to see a soap once again doing a social story instead mind control, bombs, jumping forward or mob related. This is just good old fashion storytelling which is what soaps do best tell a story and have the time to go in depth. This is what soaps have lost now days.

With the people writing at Y&R right now, I doubt this will be compelling. It’s a publicity stunt to garner ratings for the Grande Dame of soaps.

Why don’t they simply make the PSA’s..
I really don’t want to be dragged through Another cancer story..
Knowing about breast cancer is a must.
There are organizations and doctors and support centres.
The ”real deal” to lead and help one through it.
and no way is it correct for a soap to dramatize it/cancer.
for 1–
Sharon will Not lose her hair= phoney
She won’t be in deadly pain bedridden using the drugs
She won’t vomit after Chemo nor lose 15 lbs.
She won’t die.

I’ve always been against soaps and their drama-filled stories of near-death
conditions, they are quite soapy phoney.
never the whole of them.

And– they are boring and it’s not a good thing to watch a dramatized version. It’s not a good thing imo .
Just give the PSA’s don’t soapy them up.

Once again a soap is going to pretend to be socially relevant so they can air one or two “Be sure to be checked”…20 second spots at the end of the show. The issue is important, don’t get me wrong, but its the every two year token script of the few remaining soaps. With Victor’s “mystery illness – seemingly cured”, and Niki’s MS…will this be written any better?

I watch the soaps not just for amusement but to also take my mind off other things. I’ve had breast cancer twice, and I sure as hell don’t need to be reminded of everything it entailed. Of course it will be factual but it will also be a lot more dramatic than the actual events. I’m sure S.C will tackle this SL as she does every other one.Hopefully it will be done as tastefully and realistically as the one with Adrienne on Days.

Eileen Davidson/Ashley had the cancer storyline years ago and it was written well I understand completely why people are not sure Griffin can pull it off because the last year the show has been as bad as it was with MY if not worse I am just ready to stop with the Chelsea show !!! Case deserves better then wiping tables down and being a punching bag again while the con rapist character is on five days a week and the return of Adam has been a bust . Adam should have stayed dead when Muhney was let go if soaps are going to kill a character off then you sometimes have to stick with that decision that’s why I finally quit Days years ago they made a joke out of death.

She will nail it! She is awesome. I hope the show dives into the issue deep. She will be game. I hope Adam and Nick get to be part of her support system. Not a fan of Rey!

I personally hate medical storylines. Who on this planet does not know about breast cancer & that they need to self-exam, get mammograms, etc, etc. I will speed through this.

A great topic is going to be explained to those women who do not have regular mammograms. please pay attention ladies. Ty Young N restless for sharing the most important reason for these mammograms

Personally I think the cancer that needs a bigger spotlight, is skin cancer. There is this notion, it is not as serious, or easily cured, but many skin cancers are deadly and the reality is most people do not check or investigate unusual bumps, moles or pimples until it is way too late — most women know to check their breasts, those who do will continue and those who don’t will probably not start because a soap did a story line on it.

However I venture not many women understand that pimple on their face that won’t go away, the one they keep covering up with makeup might be skin cancer- and if they saw photos of someone who had half their face removed so they could get all the layers of cancer cells, not just on the skin we can see but underneath as well–as part of a story line — then maybe, just maybe they would be motivated to go to a doctor and have that pimple looked at before it reaches that point

So if a soap truly wants to do a cancer story line perhaps focusing on a different body part other than breasts for women and prostrate for men, might be the way to switch it up and bring true awareness

I am as always very supportive of the daytime genre grew up as a kid on soaps loved them will always be supportive even when I would love to shake the crap out of the writers!!! Will pray for this genre always be supportive and please give Eric Braeden a wonderful 40 th he deserves it and so very sorry that you did not do a wonderful tribute to Doug he deserved it

The nature of illnesses aside, I’m just very grateful that Y&R is finally doing a STORYLINE.

I agree with a lot of these comments. This story line will be all fluffed up. As a breast cancer survivor since 2009 and now battling Multiple Myeloma which is incurable I wish more awareness was given to children’s cancer or blood cancers. I’m not knocking breast cancer I’m a survivor but we need to raise more awareness for different cancers. Why do storyline now?? Why not do it in October when it’s Breast Cancer month. #CANCER SUCKSNOTALLCANCERISPINK

I personally find it overwhelming. As a Cancer Survivor, it just hits to close to home.

I love Sharon Case she is an excellent actress! Her story line about breast cancer is very compelling and it will awaken awareness of this. God Bless you Sharon and all the rest of the cast. I LOVE Y&R!!

I find that she should be killed off. Just to show that not everyone should survive cancer in every way. Because cancer does not always cure everyone.
