Y&R's One Dark Secret … Sage To Sharon: "I'm Going To Tell Nick His Son Is Alive!"

Courtesy/CBS
Next week on The Young and the Restless the stage is set for the unraveling of the true identity of baby “Sully”!
Sharon (Sharon Case) is on the path to triggering her buried truth that she never gave birth to “Sully” in the first place, and Sage (Kelly Sullivan) questioning the truth as well, especially after she hears a key conversation between Mariah (Camryn Grimes) and Sharon that will clue her in. As fans of Y&R know, “Sully” is really baby Christian, the son of Sage and Nick (Joshua Morrow), although the bio-dad is really Adam (Justin Hartley)!
In the latest promo from CBS Daytime, they tease that one dark secret for two families will have massive ramifications. And in a key moment in the promo it appears that Sage now knows the truth that “Sully” is her baby boy Christian.
Armed with the truth, Sage firmly says to Sharon, “I’m going to tell Nick his son is alive!” Next, Sage exits Sharon’s. But will she get to Nick to spill the beans? Watch the intense promo after the jump! Then let us know what you think will happen next in the comment section below.
In the promo it seems as through Sage is angry with Sharon and I am not sure why.
Okay, well, good let’s wrap this thing up. I am sure all the actors involved will rise to the occasion. Also, I do wish they had not rewritten history as to make Adam the bio father.
On another note, Max setting it up so Abby takes a tumble down the stairs leading to her miscarrying the baby is way too dark for me. This is a daytime drama, not The Omen.
I am tired of drama being predicated on tragedies involving children and babies.
Agree with your entire post. Word for word.
thank you, Nanci. And I agree with your post!
Lol, Harry!
I soooo agree with your comment. The Max/Abby “accident,” to cap off Sage/Sharon/Sully story, is just too much for me. Definitely not love in the afternoon.
I know, Rose. More like tragedy in the afternoon, ugh.
Agreed, Harry. Why do writers use pregancies and babies so much for stories only to dispense with children (even sending them to boarding school) when the characters are cumbersome. If characters have children, then said children are here and part of the landscape. There has been so much unpleasantness with children on Y&R. It is not appealing.
Harry…as far as I’m concerned, Stitch is so CLUELESS as a father!!!!! I mean…by now, Stitch should have SOME CLUE as to how TROUBLED AND DISTURBED Max really is!!!!! OMG…Stitch cannot be THAT STUPID!!!!! GIMME A BREAK ALREADY!!!!!!! Truly lame.
Later.
Amen, Harry. I couldn’t agree more. My husband catches enough of y&r (much to his chagrin) for him to say “Wow, I would not want to be a child in this soap city!)” The worst was when i was a month away from having my baby boy in real life, and Victor was crying and telling Christian to fight through the incubator. I bawled my eyes out when they killed off Delia, and now we have a sinister preteen glaring around corners and plotting the death of his baby sibling and step mother. Honestly, it’s gross and grim and it seems like a cheap shot at the vulnerability of the stereotypical viewer of a soap. I haven’t really seen a good love story since Billy Miller left. That’s what I miss.
All I know is that when Abby fell down the stairs, the very first thing I said out loud was, “I never want to be pregnant in Genoa City”. I mean think about it. Christian is the last baby born in Genoa City and he is already cursed with the knowledge of his true parents and then all the damage that will come to the characters involved. I am seriously thinking that Sage will be gone from the canvas now. How else can they keep the paternity secret once Sage knows and goes off to tell Nick. It was announced in the interview with Peter Bergman and Eric Braeden that a death was happening in Genoa City. Hmmmm….
I also totally agree with everything you said.
I really cannot believe how Stitch/Ben has his head buried in the sand, that kid is evil.
I sure hope he gets caught and gets some help, he needs it.
Sage deserves to have her baby back, it’s gone on way to long.
K Ross…EXACTLY!!!!! I mean…I think that Max is BEYOND EVIL!!!!! More and more, Max reminds me of those murderous kids from those ‘Children Of The Corn’ horror movies. BEYOND C-R-E-E-P-Y!!!!! And, Stitch’s denial (or whatever) about Max’s out of control behavior is turning Stitch into a TOTAL IDIOT!!!!!!! Moron.
Take care.
I’m not sure myself where this MAD Sage comes from. She wasn’t in the booby hatch with Sharon and she has NO clue what Sharon had to endure while she was in Dr Anderson’s care. Max needs to GO away. What he did to Abby was sick and the fact that Stitch wont believe Abby when she tells him her concerns is BAD.
Agree that Max needs to go away, and take his dad with him.
They cause nothing but misery for Abby!
I totally agree! Exactly! That evil kid! I’m just sick of him. How stupid that none of the adults could figure out this evil kid was plotting against Abby! Stupid Stitch needs to disappear. And regarding Sharon, she was manipulated and drugged and was trying to understand why she continued to have bad dreams…But wait! Isn’t ADAM the real biological father?? Wow! When is he going to expose that fact which will mean Sharon, Nick, and Dylan are out in the cold!
However Max is such a demon that I just turn the channel whenever Y & R shows his evil face and that smirk!! Can’t stand it! Poor Abby! How cruel!
I also don’t understand how, if both Lilly and Cane looked at security footage, why they didn’t see Max set up and/or remove the wire.
It is sad and I hope the truth about Max is revealed. I think Max needs to go to Fairview.
As for Sharon/Sage, I’m sad about Sully being taken away from Sharon and Dylan.
Max set that trip wire and Abby just happened to be coming down those steps at that time! ALL the guests use those steps. Your telling me no one walked up or down to their rooms? Ho slow is this hotel? PLUS, Max would have been seen on the footage setting the trap. Cane is a hollow head!
I think they only looked at the footage where Abby tripped. They should look at footage for the preceding several hours. Then they would see Max setting the “accident” up.
This has been one of the stories that I’ve loved! Glad they are wrapping it up. But something tells me that on her way to tell Nick what she discovered, Sage is going to get into an accident and lose her memory.
lol 0ooh what a brand new concept … wow huh lol (who woulda thunk)
Maybe Sharon will knock her down some stairs. Bwahahahah
Or they could just let Stiches son do her in since he seems to like sending women down staircases lol!
PLEASE tell me that Sage is not going to get killed in an accident on her way to tell Nick!! We can’t lose Kelly, and Sage should be able to have her own child!
Oh no! God, please don’t let that happen and let Sharon make the right decision now that she knows the truth. Worse yet, don’t let Sharon try and intervene causing Sage to fall down the stairwell of the Newman building thereby inducing a one year coma.
She’s liable to wake up in a bed in Port Charles as a new character only to discover Dr Finn staring down at her.
Ahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!
I was thinking the same thing — and that it would be just like when ONE LIFE TO LIVE’s Dr. Peter Janssen died in an accident racing home to prevent his wife Jenny from learning that her daughter Mary was actually Katrina Karr’s baby.
Oh Alan, that brings back wonderful memories of our beloved One Life to Live. How I loved Jenny, Katrina, Karen and the wonderfully wacky Marco Dane. To this day, whenever I see Judith Light, I see the fabulous Karen Wolek. Thank you for the memories.
Llanvewer 717 how dare you leave out the wonderful Margo Klenck aka Edwina “cookie” Lewis who completed that entire group of young characters.. Llanviews very own Brenda Starr reporter lol.. they even threw Jackie Zeman (pre Bobbie Spencer) in the mix I loved me some Lana McClain lol.. I was so mad when they killed her off and so happy to see her at her worst on GH soon after..
Sorry about the typo lol Llanviewer
Shes a goner Steven!
Just as long as this plot-driven convoluted shizz ends!!!
Yet another Chuck Pratt tale that is as lame as everything else since his decimation of “Y & R” began!!!
Hopefully Sage (the horrible Kelly Sullivan) will run into traffic and get killed or just off herself!!
Geez Bart!
Bart, my mom passed away two years ago October and you just channeled her hilarious and diabolical ghost. Lol. Thanks for reminding me of our daily daytime ranting. 🙂 🙂 🙂
I’m glad to have been able to bring a smile to your face, Ashleigh!
OMG, granted she was better on GH, Kelly is a terrific actress!
ahaaa! soaps are getting more stupid than I thought possible..
I watch, but no longer for the high impact drama (that has long died) but for stupidness LOL ..
there is no booming drama to that built up reveal, either..
Geez does anyone listen to @michaelfairmain?? It’s ok to be passionate but is it really necessary to wish a character would die or commit suicide. ..that’s a bit too overboard for me and I really don’t like happening upon silly malicious comments. IJMO..so don’t attack.
I’m with you on that davlestev1!
I agree. These are humans with feeling!
I have to admit although I think the acting is fantastic I really hate stories about children dying or baby swaps. Sharon could easily say she was pregnant and that crazy doctor did something to cause a miscarriage and the rest is a blur because of the drugs they gave her. I’m tired of poor Sharon being made the bad guy yet again. I’m more interested in Kevin/Mariah/Natalie story. I hope Kevin doesn’t hurt Mariah, she really has stood by him. I want to see that bratty Max get caught for what he did to Abby, and I want to see someone slap Billy on the side of the head and smarten him up. When he said “Don’t go” to Victoria on Friday I got so annoyed with him I turned it off missing the last part. Does he not realize every one of her ex husbands have had to jump through hoops for her & her daddy? They grew a brain & left her. Hopefully the new girl coming on will turn his head and he’ll say bye bye Victoria.
I totally agree. There has to be a way around this-Sharon should NOT be seen as the enemy here. She does not recall most of this aside from what Patty and Mariah have said and in her own mind she has NO actual proof aside from what the blood test now has told her. I would like to see her tell what she knows from what she remembers and then let others lovingly help her fill in those gaps. TOO BAD Sage doesn’t realize she will lose Christian again to Chelsea and Adam anyway. Once they find out they will likely go for partial custody..LOL. Too bad Sage…..
Hi Vicki, I would love to see it play out your way but I doubt it. Adam has always cared about Sage and he even helped her give birth to Christian in the park so he won’t take him from her. Even though Sharon lied about being pregnant she was so drugged up by that doctor that she believed she was. The three of them Nick, Sharon and Sage have been hurt by the doctor. Sage has no reason too be mad at Sharon, until her nightmares started she was sure that she had been pregnant and Sully was hers. Sharon tried to help Sage by letting her be around Sully now Sage is treating her like she has measles. I think Sage is going to get together with Dylan. She has been telling him what a wonderful father he is. Nick is pretty much over the loss of his son and Dylan gets along better with Adam than Nick does, but even though the truth is out about the baby the only one two that know Adam is the father is Adam & Chelsea.
Nikki, guys are dumb! Kevin will chose Nat only to long for Mariah in the end!
Max needs to be taken away like Anthony Hopkins in “Silence of the Lambs!” Take Dr. Stitchenstein with you!
Jason Thompson is NOT impressing me as Billy and I hate his relationship with FAKE Phyllis!
Ha Ha Now Timmm you say guys are dumb, not me. I think he really cares about Mariah too but he’s let all this money go to his head. As for Max He is such a good little actor it’s too bad they have him playing evil. At his age he is already a murderer wow! Stitch needs to grow a brain and realize the child has never gotten over his mom’s death and since he only has one parent left he’s afraid to lose him and doesn’t want to share him. I like Phyllis she’s just mellowed out, like Adam. Jason Thompson isn’t bad I think it’s just the role and O.M.G. I hate what they did to Kathrine’s house. It use to be so bright & cheerier now it looks like a morgue. Last week when Victoria said if Delia we’re alive she’d paint it pink I actually said out loud “Oh please do that Billy”. I think even pink would look better.
Su0000, can you tell mr four of your favorite storylines or couples?? It sounds like you remember when it was actually fun to watch not because of the ridiculous and absurd. It doesn’t have to be y&r if you’ve loved other soaps.
Hi Ashleigh ..
I’m not a vet fan, but since I have been watching (15-17yrs) the soaps have declined in drama, on the edge drama..
The villains use to chilling! I loved to hate them and they always had me on the edge.
The stories had solid plots and characters you cheered on and others you wanted their demise..
It use to be ”I can’t wait for tomorrow to see who lives or dies who wins or loses which couple is in peril in life or death situations or backstabbing deceiving or just loving..
GH especially, has lost its’ drama, adventure, on the edge soul..
Both Y&R and GH have become drab, uneventful, no lip biting climax’s, and that is a shame that they have become stale and moldey….
Soaps need new youngblood writers that will bring the soaps into the 21st century with new ideals and direction (soaps are stuck in the 80’s)
Soaps have become stupid .. (but yet- I watch the best parts of the stupid LOL
Hi Ashleigh, I can name four. The triangle between Kevin/Mariah & Natalie, Ashley & Dr. Neville, Adam & Chelsea, Abby & Stitch, and I want to see Billy kick Victoria to the curb. Ooops that 5 but they keep me watching. During the rest I scoot out to the kitchen & peel potatoes, get supper ready, until I hear the voices of one of the above.
More than likely this is one of the show’s famous imagined scenes– Sharon finds out the truth then “imagines” what would happen if she tells Sage or what would happen if she tries to keep the truth to herself and then someone like Sage finds out. I don’t believe for a minute Sage will find out the truth until May sweeps, this reveal is building for Sweeps which is still a week a way so I am skeptical that the show would waste a big reveal like that for the end of April– hence my belief this is an imagined scene being promoted as real so to lure viewers in, to prime the pump, to get them hook in for May sweeps where the money for eyeballs count the most.
A word of advice to Sage…..be careful! OK, that’s two words 🙂
Does she not know what happened to Phyllis when she threatened Sharon?
Plus, GC has some of the worst drivers/oblivious pedestrians! Their car insurance rates must be astronomical!
This is cut and dry, they havent milked the paternity for 100 years YET so you know BEFORE Sage gets to tell Nick the truth, she will end up dead!
Friday’s episode was horrible. Sage was never my favorite, but to have
the writers do this the day she is finally reunited with her baby? Just sick.
She never did much for me on Y&R but she is a good actress and I hope she goes back to GH somehow.
I like Kelly/Sage so I hope Sage isn’t killed.
Me to but the writing is on the wall. I see B&B picking her up or maybe Connie isnt dead after all on GH?
You can relaxKelly Sullivan is a FOJ she is not going anywhere and I don’t have any problem with the actress I just don’t know why she is thrown into everybody’s universe just like Steve Burton it turns me as a viewer off. When we have veterans that still look fantastic have kept the show number one that are on once every two weeks! Ugh
Once it is revealed that Sully is Christian, it will be interesting to see how Chelsea reacts to Sage.
Maybe Sage is talking about Noah. 😉
Case should have never been involved in this story we did this with Fith in 2009 ! She will probably try to run with the baby its her job to be the person we throw under the bus! Sage is too new to the show to care ! Give the baby back let’s move on and please Sharon stop the lying it has grown tiresome
Faith!
Wow! I can’t think with all of this wonderful complexity before me, but thanks for the fun.
It still hangs in my mind that Kelly probably had one of those drugs while on a spot with voodoo history thus making her appear dead; that Jack and Phyllis were not really married by that crazy minister; and that someone will finally find out who really hit Delia. Going back further, what was the purpose of Paul finding a knife under the street outflow followed by a silhouette of a witch prancing by.
Look, I haven’t seen the end of last week, but I too find the treatment in the stories involving young children more than distasteful. One every few years, possibly, but this!
Thanks to all you for you ideas, thoughts, and reviews. The creativity is so pleasing, and again, how fun to see the ideas flow.
Oh here we go again. Probably a retread of Phyllis and Sharon. Sharon will push Sage down the stairs or something.
Ok so let’s make Sharon a loon again do you people know nothing about the history of this character????? She was a heroine from the wrong side of the tracks who has always loved Nick no way would this woman keep this baby from Nick for Dylan who she has known five minutes. God you are destroying a character cheap useless writing ever since Bell’s team left.

‘General Hospital’s’ Steve Burton Shares Reaction to His Lead Actor Daytime Emmy Nomination, ‘It Was to Honor Leslie Charleson’

The 53rd Annual Daytime Emmy Award nominations kicked-off on Monday with the announcements of four major categories including, Outstanding Lead Performer in a Daytime Drama Series — Actor, and among the nominees is General Hospital’s Steve Burton (Jason Morgan).
Burton is already a two-time Daytime Emmy winner in the Supporting Actor category for his roles as GH’s Jason and his turn as Dylan McAvoy on Y&R. However, Steve is yet to win in the Lead Actor category and he has received 11 nominations along the way in his daytime career.
Following the reveal that he is a 2026 Daytime Emmy nominee, he and his GH co-star, podcast co-host and comedy show partner, Bradford Anderson (Spinelli) taped a special edition of their That’s Awesome podcast just featuring Burton’s reaction to the news.

FOR LESLIE CHARLESON
Steve expressed, “I know it’s such a cliche to say, ‘I’m just so honored to be nominated.’ But truly, I’m so grateful to be nominated, so grateful to just be on the show off and on for 30 plus years and to be nominated with the guys in my category. Just to get the opportunity. Frank (Valentini, executive producer, GH) texted me right away. I was just like, ‘Thank you for the opportunity to get to do what I do.'”
Taking in the moment, Burton thanked those who helped him select the material for his nominated reel. “Unless you win, you don’t get to say things. So. I’m going just say a few things: Elizabeth Korte (co-head writer, GH) helped me a lot with the material, (as did) Michelle Henry, who’s a producer on the show, Laura Wright (Carly, GH), and then my wife Michelle (Lundstrom). I believe it was Jill Phelps who told me that when A Martinez felt like he had a great show or great scenes, he would mark it down. So, when Emmy time comes, you have all the show numbers written down, and you don’t have to think about it, because that’s half the battle (finding the material).
Burton explained how meaningful this nomination is for him, because of playing the scenes of Jason losing Monica, and his closeness with the late, great Leslie Charleson.
“The nomination’s an amazing thing, and it’s beautiful, but really it’s to honor Leslie Charleson. A lot of my material was because of her, and how I started on the show as a Quartermaine, it just means a ton,” shared Burton. “Maurice Benard (Sonny, GH) has obviously has been instrumental, and I’ve said it from day one and I’ll shout it from the rooftops. If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t be here, and to be working with the people that we work with is incredible.”

SHOULD JOHN OLIVER BE NAMED HOST OF THE DAYTIME EMMYS?
During the end of his conversation with Anderson, Steve suggested that the host of the Daytime Emmy should be Last Week Tonight’s John Oliver, who recently guest starred as the head of the WSB named Z on General Hospital, and is soon to show up on Days of Our Lives in a mystery role in August.
Thus far, the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences has not revealed their host for the upcoming ceremony to be held on October 30 in a venue to be named in Hollywood, California.
You can watch Steve sharing his reaction to receiving his 2026 Lead Actor Daytime Emmy nomination below on a special segment on the That’s Awesome podcast.
Now let us know, are you glad that Steve chose scenes surrounding Jason mourning the loss of the woman that raised him, Monica Quartermaine for his Emmy reel? What do you think of John Oliver as a suggestion to host the Daytime Emmys? Weigh-in via the comment section below.
