Y&R's Sharon Case Weighs-In On If SHADAM's Story Should Continue!

It was not a good week for Sharon Newman!  She finally made it to the altar to marry the man of her dreams, (the love of her life Nick Newman) only to have it bust up thanks to the return of Phyllis (Gina Tognoni)!  And the secret that could shatter the lives of so many people still looms! Is Sharon finally going to remember all and fess up to Nick (Joshua Morrow) and Jack (Peter Bergman) about the true bio-dad of Summer (Hunter King)?

While all of that is playing out on air, Sharon Case (Sharon) took time out to chat with Soap Opera Uncensored on her 20th anniversary with the number one soap to discuss Sharon’s perils, future, and more!

Since fans know that Justin Hartley has just started taping episodes as the new Adam Newman (he replaces Michael Muhney), what does Case think that could mean for the popular pairing of Shadam?

When asked by SOU  if she thinks Shadam’s story is dead (something that SOU  also made clear they would like to see continue), the Daytime Emmy winner replied:  “I hope not, too! Even with the wonderful Shick reunion and arc, and our 20th anniversary,  I don’t think it’s over for Shadam. They had a huge fan following.  They instantly became a super couple. I thought it was a mistake to break them up from the start. Not that I didn’t think they should ever break up, but it was premature.”

So Y&R fans, do you hope Y&R gives Justin and Sharon screen time to re-ignite Shadam? Or, do you hope that Sharon continues to find a way to stay with Nick, and Adam concentrates on getting Chelsea (Melissa Claire Egan) back? Let us know!

No. Shadam was only popular due to Sharon Case and Michael Muhney’s on-screen chemistry. They were electric together. It can’t be duplicated by an Adam recast.

Of course it can. It might not happen but it can. Soaps are all about recasts

It could happen, but let’s not.

Their 2 of a kind.

Certain couples on soaps are based on chemistry between the actors. Michael Muhney connected with Sharon Case unlike I’ve seen on a soap in a long time. They overcame a horrible storyline to make it to the top with the fans. Just because it says Adam Newman on the page of a script doesn’t mean they chemistry is on he screen. I think it’s best to leave Shadam in the past. Frankly, I think they should have killed off Adam Newman like DAYS did with James Scott’s EJ DiMera.

I couldn’t agree more. Adam should have died when MM was let go. The on screen chemistry was electric. Finding a re-placement was just stupid and will be as popular as Michael Tom as Billy Abbott. Why not have a screen where he tries to come back to Chelsea and Billy kills him. End of the Adam story. Shadam was for two special couple S.C. & M.M. if the new guy signed a contract already have him play a new love interest for Sharon. I wish those damn writers would show some respect for the fans.

I think thats why they moved Billy away from Victoria because Burgess had better chemistry with Chelsea.

I dont get to watch this show often but you are right: Burgess’s Billy and Chelsea do work better together…makes me start to warm up to him!!!

I never thought about it, Timmm. But, the more I see Chelsea and nuBilly together, the more I agree with you.

I’m with Real

Michael Muhney satiated everything

stimulus package

Sharon Case said it better : Sharon and Adam became… a supercouple…

immediately

I hope he lands on DAYS

for Y&R to let go of two of the all time finest actors

Billy Miller
and

drum roll
Michael Muhney

is a let they will never curtail
verb (used with object)
1.
to cut short; cut off a part of; abridge; reduce; diminish.

’nuff said…. that’s y&r, in a nutshell

scrambling

altho… to give prop

Eileen Davidson
Kelly Sullivan

is promise

hire Trent Dawson

I couldn’t agree with you more, Real Deal. It always strikes as odd that when a character is recast, he/she is expected to walk in the previous actor’s shoes. It isn’t always possible…different person; different personality.
And, regardless what role an actor/actress assumes, his/her personality will unmistakably seep into the character he/she is playing.
Off topic, but I am just itching to say this. Why does Lily come off as a tight a$$? She does not act her age at all. She is like a completely different person from Lilly past. ….which was not that long ago. She is only 26. What the_____???? I wish she were written an upbeat storyline, instead of being on the sidelines of some other just as boring character.

Lily shone with Daniel….that was the real Lilly. Now, with Caine (sp)…..she is so boring and uninteresting.
Please correct me if I misheard, but did Lily say ” alls I know..” , in today’s episode? ALLS. Really ???
WOW !!!!

That’s why I call her ‘Lily of the Valley.’ She utilizes valley girl speak.

I forgot that once upon a time, I did like Lily. You’re right–she was something special with Danial. I wish they’d bring back Danial now that his mother is awake. There could be a rivalry between Lily and Mariah.
It seems they are gearing up to pair Mariah with Kevin but I think that’s a huge mistake. One–they have no chemistry and two, he’s way too old for her.

I LOVE LOVE Sharon and Nick they are so romantic. I can’t wait for the new Adam to come and try to win Sharon away from Nick. I can’t stand they brought Phyllis back.

Strictly depend on if the actors have chemistry! When MM was in the part I wanted them to reunite because I felt their chemistry was better with SC then MCE at least SC is open to working with a recast .

Adam belongs with Chelsea. She’s his soul mate; his wife and the mother of his child.

Chelsea is so boring please

Her and Burgess have clicked a little.

Christine, I agree with you. Sharon and Adam are similar to Victoria and Billy. The characters worked, because of the chemistry between the actors.

No Sharon and Adam were the best. I dont like Chelsea

I am rooting for Sharon and Nicholas to make it. I think they’re very romantic, they’ve grown, matured and evolved with each other.

Me too. Shick all the way!

I thought Sharon and Adam (MM) had great chemistry, but I hated the fact that they continued a romantic relationship after all the horrible things he did were revealed.

I’m not so sure….

I think it’s retread for tried and true

and that’s lack of actors to chemistry with

I just don’t see … nuPhyllis… plowing a whole… thru Sharon and Nick
I don’t know yet… what , nuAdam… will bare

I hope it’s enough to swing and bowl over… Sharon and Nick… as it’s a necessary evil to split up the obvious… for the show to spark

Well, now I’m on board with Shick. I’ll have to see how Justin is as Adam before I could say.

I wasn’t a Sharon/Adam fan before because I have always been a Sharon/Nick fan. So no I don’t want to test the waters. Leave Sharon and Nick alone. Let them rebuild their marriage. Let Victor go find someone else to fix…like Victoria.

I think they are going to keep Nick & Sharon together at least for a while I think they are going to come up with more twists and turns concerning this paternity nonsense that has went on far too long. Just once I would like to see Victor lose so yes I am with you Shick all the way.

In spite of Victor,’s tactics, he was responsible for hiring the specialist who cured Phyllys

Smart thing to do would be to reboot Adam and Sharon and let them coast happy for a while. Don’t treat me as dumb. If Sharon’s problems were mental illness exacerbated by her emotional upheavals with the Newman men, then duh! Settle down!

CBS has Brooke Logan on B&B. Sharon Newman is eerily similar and I do not like it. Better storytelling is letting Sharon take charge of her life, find strength, and renew herself. I would but this line better than even Adam’s turnaround.

Sharon needs to hold onto Nick and let go of the her in-laws as much as possible.

She may turn to Adam if Nick walks away.

LOL I don’t care..
Sharon and Nick are a has been couple.. yawn..
Their glory days are behind them…

If Sharon was not pushed back on Nick what would they do with the character..
ohhh maybe they could get her a job haaa!
Sharon is very irksome.. Never could stand the mall princes..
I do not hate her.. can’t hate what isn’t real..
Sharon is just painfully irritating like a bad ass rash..

I know Sharon has many fans and I could never understand that lol
Sharon fans.. enjoy, hope the Nick and Sharon story is good for you guys!! 🙂

Sharon is just painfully irritating like a bad ass rash..

LOL

i beg to differ… I know… The Newmans are all irritants
and sadly that includes Nikki

my Victoria… whom I hope is making inroads with Stitch… would be a welcome respite for the tired writing

Sharon Case… does indeed have “many” fans

and that’s because of the rest looking from the outside in… as she traverses with… the rich and infamy…. god… i’m so tired of Victor

it’s now a crapshoot.. even with Sharon

blah blah blah… she’s back with Nick
blah blah blah… Mariah is Cassie twin

blah blah blah…. she needs a trigger… spark… endorphin… with ADAM !!!!

I always thought Adam and Chelsea were perfect together…that was when
we had MM as Adam, though. Not sure how I will feel with the new Adam
actor! Either way, I think Shadam is best left in the past.

It will be interesting to see who Justin Hartley does have chemistry with.

Chelsea has grown on me and I like MCE. I know she and JH are friends in real life, but that doesn’t always translate to the screen. I don’t like her with Billy only because I am not a fan of Burgess Jenkins. So boring.

it’s going to be an interesting fit… where Justin Hartley melds

tall … drool… handsome…

it’d be a coup if he avalanches with Sharon Case

it’s a past … that was rich

I loved Sharon and Adam

couldn’t you just see Victor seething…
the envious… even jealous immature antics.. that defined how dull and infant behaviour Victor drawled… enough!

to supplant… Victor and Nikki… even Jack…..

with Sharon and nuAdam… would invite me back… with relish

i want Sharon and Nick together. Won’t be the same with a new Adam

Nick and Sharon has been and always will be a super couple. Let Adam go back to Chelsea.
I don’t care what they do with Billy; bad recast!

You may see Adam paired up with someone totally new. Maybe Kelly Sullivan’s new character?

i’m beyond reproach for this

this is stellar

marquee

a gala premiere to ensconce

meaning tune in

Hello, Ms. Sullivan

I’ve missed you so

Wow, Timmm! Why didn’t I think of that ! What a pairing ; Sullivan and Hartley.

Justin Hartley and Sharon Case would definitely look good together but ultimately it’s all about the material they’re given and since Charles Pratt will be writing any reunion story for the couple…well, I think that says it all.

I know… right

that’s exactly, how I feel… about GH: Patrick and Sam

I’ve wished this…longed for… and waited… and it’s upon us

what a wait

long and short of it… Patrick and Sam… ARE sOOOO sexy together… in front of the camera

I hope the same… for Justin Hartley…. isn’t he something… and Sharon Case… deserves better than … the past…Nick

will Nick ever live up to just how magnanimous he will with MS’ Phyllis

My dear Patrick,
You know how much I like you and respect your opinion. But, I disagree. It’s good to disagree, right? It keeps the blood to the brain flowing…lol.
Sam and the not-so-pragmatic Dr. Drake will bore each other to death. JMO.
After returning from their escapade to The Netherlands, how will they occupy their time? Oh, I know, they can talk about how Sam can add cadence to her voice.

i think adam should focus on chelsea and not sharon. I cannot picture justin and sharon in a love scene does not have chemestry there but justin might have chemestry with missy tough.

Hope they keep Nick & Sharon together. They are my favourite couple. I never liked her with Adam! I think Adam & Chelsea are good together!

Adam loved Chelsea & she loved him like no other person could. And Billy & Victoria need to be together it has to fix the hate between the New mans & Abbots. Sharon needs to suffer looniness PLEASE don’t put her with Nick have Jack & Nick both after Phyllis like before. And let us see who the new Phyllis has chemistry with.

I don’t see Ben, Kelly & their mother becoming regulars on the show.

Leave Sharon alone. She is no worse than any others on there. Chelsea, Phyllis and Niki are way worse than bipolar Sharon.
Btw, didn’t Chelsea lie about who her baby daddy was? Didn’t Adam cause Ashley to lose her baby and then stole Sharon’s baby…I bet you had no problem with them doing that. Don’t forget Phyllis did the same think to Danny.

That’s right. We still don’t know who Daniel’s real father is, do we? It certainly isn’t Danny Romalotti.

I liked Shadam in the beginning before MAB trashed the pairing by having first Sharon cheat on Adam with the vet guy, then dumping Adam when she found out his part in Patty’s escape from the mental institution and then having her bed his worse enemy, his father Victor.

She could forgive him for snatching her baby; for making her believe her child died; for faking his death and possibly murdering Richard Hightower in the process; for him leaving her in prison to get back at her for her affair, but helping Patty to escape that was the last straw???? After that one I never looked at Shadam the same way–

What made them good as a couple up to the point up point she let him she was dead and she ended up was the vet, up until then they seemed like equals, bringing out the best in each other, but at the end MAB reign they were bringing out the worse.

Whether Shadam would work again would depend on the chemistry between the two actors, and how the story is written. In beginning there was a vulnerability and sweetness to Shadam, which MAB killed, if they could bring that back I might be team Shadam again, but if not I’m for Shick,

On my above comment I hit submit by mistake before I could finish it and proofread it so the third paragraph should read

What made them good as a couple up to that point, the point when Sharon let Adam believe she was dead and she ended up with the vet, before that point they seemed like equals that brought out the best in each other. But by the end of MAB’s reign they were bringing out the worse, which in my mind ruined their chemistry.

MM and SC have amazing chemistry and that is what made Shadam so freaking HOT. I appreciate SC love for the pairing and their fans. Personally I found Adam and Chelsea boring as can be. The whiplash turn of Adam love from Sharon to Chelsea was a joke also. Personally I am fine with nuAdam staying with Chelsea because as I said it was the chemistry of the actors that hooked me in Shadam. The writers of Y and R can’t seem to make up their mind who Sharon’s soul mate is. They flip flop this crap enough for me to say uncle. I am bored with Shick but I will be fine with Sharon staying with Nick as long as she never ever screws old ass Victor again.

You have NO idea whether Justin and Sharon will have chemistry or not! What a premature thing to say at this point!!

Ummm I stated my opinion on MM and SC chemistry. I never mentioned Justin so what in world are your talking about. You are the one who seems to think you have all the answers. Your statement about MM being done in Soaps is not only premature but silly given you I am sure have ZERO say so in who works in Soaps or not.

You mentioned nuAdam, deb. nuAdam, IS Justin. I think that’s what got me confused also….Might you have meant nuBilly, perhaps? ……no harm done.

Ben and Kelly are already regulars on the show. Both with long contracts. Their mother is on to spill the truth.

MM won’t go to Days. SoNY Owns It too.

You’re right, Eileen, Sony owns both shows…two completely different shows with a different set of people…So, he could be hired at DAYS…a place without JFP, EB, HK and so on. My guess: Michael Muhney will be seen on DAYS during the 50th anniversary!

Sony was talking to MM about returning to Y&R, so he could go to DAYS. That said, MM is heavily involved in movies now. He’s shot two since leaving Y&R and is filming a third one right now in Las Vegas. A fourth one starts shooting in January. Frankly, I don’t see him going back to soaps now. I’d expect him to stick with movie & Primetime/cable. His level of talent is more suited to those kinds of projects.

I want Nick and Sharon to remain together because when she changed all the results she was off her meds. I also want Chelsea and Adam to remain together. They have a lot to get over but love don’t die and the love those two shared should be able to help them to work it out.

I feel that when Adam returns his main priority will be his son, Connor. He will search any means to be part of his life again, and make up for the time lost with Connor.

Marcy, Sony wasn’t talking to MM. Jill F. Phelps was. That’s two different things entirely. He needs to stick to movies. Hes done in soaps.

The couple just won’t be the same without Michael Muhney playing the part of Adam. Heck, the SHOW won’t be the same without Muhney playing the part of Adam! And for the information of those who don’t seem to know, it wasn’t Jill Farren Phelps who was talking to Muhney about a possible return, it was someone WAY over her head. And he’s doing quite well with movies right now. In fact, he posted several photos of himself decked out for his third movie role. Personally, I believe that Y&R’s massive losses (Miller, Stafford, Muhney) will be movie/other program’s gains. Heck, look at GH already. Numerous Y&R folk over there and doing gangbuster jobs. WELL received, too. Not like the newbies on Y&R, many of whom are STILL disliked (after more than a year onscreen for some of them).
wolfy

Sharon & Nick, Sharon& Adam Sharon with Billy, I’m ok I’M ok with either
They can put Phyllis back in her coma down in Georgia get her out of town, please

I want to Finally See Nick and Sharon Remain Together!!! …. PLease no twist to break up Nick and Sharon
Adam and Chelsea should reunite ………….

reunite shadam
sharon will need a friend and so will adam

I liked Shadam in the beginning but they really got trashed over the years. Maybe if nuAdam and Sharon have good chemistry, otherwise I’d rather stick with Shick.

Nick & Sharon forever

Yes, Adam and Sharon belong together so please reunite them ASAP please.

Sharon and Adam belong together and should have never been broken apart. They would have made a wonderful super couple. They could have continued to work at Newman and had a family of their own and become a powerful pair. To bad JFP wanted to put Adam with her pet Chelsea because she ruined what was a great couple in Shadam. I can’t wait to see this new Adam and Sharon interact. With hope they will have chemistry off the charts and we can see the Shadam love story begin again.

The only way I am ever going to watch Y&R again is if the writers reunite Sharon & Adam. It is like Adam said: they can never quit each other.

I would love to see Shadam back together again it was very very exciting. Chelsea and Adam are boring. Leave Chelsea with Billy.

Ew, please let Sharon be free of Adam once and for all. He treated her like garbage before he dumped her because his daddy Victor told him too. Hell, no! Keep Sharon away from that babynapper. I hated Sharon with him when MM was in the role (I was relieved when he was let go), and I do not want to see her with NuAdam either. The writers need to just let Shadam go because their entire history is sick and twisted and not worth rooting for. Sharon has been vilified enough for 10 life times – starting with when she took up with that sick freak Adam!! FREE SHARON from Adam!!!!!

Sharon Case is so sensitive and passionate that chemistry will be with whomever she is casted with I just have and affinity for she and Nick.

I would love to see shadam pairing again. I hope it happens

Lucas Adams and Tamara Braun Written Out of The Young and the Restless

Published

on

By

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 Says She Will Return to ‘The View’ During its Season 30

Published

Rosie O'Donnell

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.
