In an interview with TV Insider, Case shared on the taping of this special episode: “There are a lot of emotions and Sharon’s having a terrible nightmare. I think I did seven costumes changes that day.” Sharon added, “I really like when we do dream episodes. They’re out of the box and fun. This episode is very scary, though. I can’t wait for people to see it.”
When discussing working in scenes with Camryn Grimes as her beloved late daughter Cassie, Case expressed: “If Sharon were imagining her life ending, then, yes, Cassie would be the first person who would enter her mind.”
Get the hankies ready for tomorrow’s episode of Y&R! Will you be watching Sharon and Camryn in the emotional scenes? Comment below.
I’ll be watching.
The cancer story is gawd awful..
It is about rich people with no concerns of paying for anything.
It is about a family pampering and they are free to support 24 hrs a day, because nobody is working a 10 hr day or themselves struggling with life problems just to sustain their lives while coping with cancer.
It is about a large family within a mile of each other to be there for her. through the day. No money problems, no obligations to keep food on the table while not being able to work.
It is PHONY ..
It is not how a great many people struggling with cancer live.
Many have no family, have no support, or family members that are 1,000 miles away with no money to fly home to support their loved ones.
This family does Not represent the families of ordinary people.
It is billionaire soap cancer..
It is not realistic of actual struggles.
When Sharon loses all her hair, pukes and withers away, and loses a breast, it doesn’t hit home.
,, Phony
Really? You’re a debby downer are you not? It’s what soaps do are tell stories and hopefully a good ones. Soaps have always used popular characters to tell social stories. You need to lighten up because “once again” just another brasher of YR…this is personally my favorite story on YR right now. I don’t go around spewing hatred about any soaps even the ones I hate.
hi Harlee,
I did not ”hate” anything..
I spoke; it is phoney and misleading to/of ordinary cancer suffering people.
I did not ”bash” Y&R, It’s my fav.
I simply do not like the unrealistic cancer story.
I have not ”spewed” hatred, I did not mention the word.
I’m happy you are enjoying the unrealistic cancer story. 🙂
The writers at Young and the Restless worked with AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY AND MEDICAL EXPERTS in the field to create Sharon’s breast cancer story line. AND YOUR medical qualifications are…?
Excuse me, I apologize, my bad but people just rant, rave bash YR all the time and get I get sick of it and someone needs to stand up for YR. I’m certainly not saying YR is in any condition of 100% (hasn’t been since they fired Kay in 2006…that was the start of the downfall of YR starting with LML. I know people doesn’t like JG but in my opinion I would rather watch Josh’s writings with his sometime good and sometime awful stories over Mal (hideous) Young any day! At least Josh doesn’t try to change YR and he does try to keep the classic feel we know about YR. Again I’m sorry of jumping the gun.
I have my battle. It just seems TV is making it a little more dramatic and not as serious as it really is.
In theory you are correct about certain things…however….do any of the 4 soaps have people of “normal” means on them? Honestly, the last I can recall was waaaaay back when OLTL had the Woleks as a core family. There is really not one family on any of the shows who does not have access to money, health insurance and great healthcare.
You are completely wrong! This storyline saved my cousins life as she immediately did a self exam, found a lump and caught the cancerous tumor before it spread! Her reconstruction surgery is next month! My tweet thanking Sharon was in soaps.com ! Secondly I took care of my dad, grandmother back to back as they fought cancer! Sharon breaks down and admits she’s getting best care because she’s blessed to have insurance! Your hate is what’s wrong with in the world!
That’s good to know..
Happy your cousin
found the lump
had many doctors appointments
lab tests
had chemo treatments
had surgery, removed breast
in 30 days time.
then after is having
reconstruction surgery
that’s extremely fast,
good she got help so quickly.
wish her a speedy recovery.
Did no one tell you that cancer does not play favorites? Cancer does not care how much money you have or don’t have. Nor does Cancer care where you live or don’t live. But hey, if watching Sharon struggle with her cancer diagnosis upsets you so much then don’t watch. No one is forcing you too.
Hi Anne,
I have never said I was ”upset”
I have said, it’s phoney and not realistic.
The soap cancer does Not represent actual people.
I doubt Sharon will take a second mortgage on her house
or have need to move to less expensive housing
nor will she need to go into a life long debt.
nor will she stress over how to pay for related needs.
it is those cancer-related problems that affect many.
The fear of not being able to maintain their lifestyle for their children, their families.
it is a huge problem with cancer inflicted people.
nothing about the story is realistic.
It is a PSA, that is good to inform people.
but still, it does not represent people working one or two jobs to survive and do not have family support 24/7; which is a great many.
but-
the PSA is good.. it may help someone.
education is always good.
It is a commercial/PSA story to alert woman.
((Sharon will not lose her hair nor her breast, she will not go into unmanageable debt, she will not face the serious struggles of everyday normal people fighting cancer.
Sharon will be just fine))
You know if you hate the show stop watching I have been upset with moments and storylines but nobody forced me to watch I for one appreciate the storyline just stick with it I have five friends who are suffering with it so put a sock in it f you don’t like it the tv does have a off switch ! SC is killing it and so is CG so give them a break it sure is better then watching Adam and Chelsea sit on the couch ! I might add though it’s not popular I think the good lord every day for my health every day maybe everybody might try that
I disagree with some naysayers here. If this story helps even one person or family know they’re not alone, it’s worth it. I’ve no doubt Sharon’s talents will be well used in this episode. Maybe she can finally score a Lead Actress nomination instead of the recent spate of nominees who deliver one mediocre episode and then just pose for the camera the rest of the year. I only hope it’s not gonna bring her and Nick back together. Rey has stepped up and deserves better treatment than his sister Lola has received from Kyle. Looking ahead to this!
I really love watching Sharon , she is a very good actor.I do share her pain right now. She did a very good job explaining the importance of self examination . Great job. Congratulations Victor Newman for the 40 years on our favorite soap. Well done.
I watched the episode tonight thru You Tube, and if that’s the best they can do, we’re in a heap of trouble.
You do know that men have been diagnosed with breast cancer?
I’ll definitely be watching. I only have sons but that could happen with them too. I have the tissues ready.
Should be good. Sharon is one of my faves.
Looking forward to seeing this episode. Sharon is definitely the actress to pull this emotional storyline off the best!! Keep up the great acting skills Miss Sharon
I will be watching. I love Y&R it is really hitting home to me .. Because I’m living with breast cancer ! I knw what it’s like through & through!! It’s not fun and it is scary . I have 4 kids 2 grandchildren.. a husband too. I don’t knw if I’m gonna live long or not . They gave me little white pills to take , for 5 yrs . ♀️ And I have to get a iv once every 6 months for 3 yrs so I don’t get cancer In My bones later . Yea this is way hard for people like me to watch some one play a cancer patient And they really don’t have it ! Smh♀️
I’m so sorry to hear what your going through, Celeste. I hope you get some comfort from the Sharon story. Hopefully you will be a long term survivor, as I’m sure Sharon will be. My best wishes and hopes for you and your loved ones.
It was boring
Everyone deals with cancer differently. I would never say another person’s reactions or feelings were not legitimate. This is one person’s story.
I need Nick to be there for her in more ways than 1. He should be the only 1 who could truly comfort her.
Unless Mia comes back to meddle, Sharon and Rey do nothing for me.
I know its a serious story but its still a soap, this should bring Shick back together where they belong
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.
