You know it’s going to be ‘Creepsville’ when you receive a bottle of champagne with a stain of blood on it and a card that goes with the gift that says, “Memories are what life is made of”.  Cue all of the speculation for The Young and the Restless Sharon Case (Sharon) and her new storyline.

It’s been a minute since the character has been front-burner, but this storyline really kicking off this week on the CBS soap opera, will put the now Daytime Emmy-nominated Case in an intense and dramatic story.

If you saw Friday’s episode of Y&R, you know that Sharon received a champagne bottle as a supposed gift, but has no idea who sent it to her.  Meanwhile, lurking outside of Crimson Lights is someone keeping tabs on her.

The rumors are running rampant, and it would seem to be on track, with fans of Y&R believing that the diabolical Cameron Kirsten is back and  will terrorize Sharon some decades later. The character last appeared on the soap opera back in August of 2004.  Add to the fact that Kirsten’s portrayer, Linden Ashby is married in real life to Susan Walters, who plays Diane Jenkins on the series, it all makes sense.

For a bit of a walk down memory lane: Cameron Kirsten had sex with Sharon in a hotel room and then beat her. Later, he turned up in Genoa City threatening her if she didn’t meet him for a hook-up.  On one fateful New Year’s eve, Kirsten tried to rape Sharon.  She bashed him over the head with, wait for it, a champagne bottle in self defense.  Poor Sharon then had to dispose of his body.   However, eventually, he turned up alive and then ended up behind bars.  Smart money is he is out of jail and coming back to GC with his eye on making Sharon’s life a living hell.

During the Michael Fairman Channel’s Daytime Emmy Nomination Special 2023, Case revealed she was working hard on a ‘big’ new storyline. She also had admitted she couldn’t say with who, because at the time they hadn’t aired yet.

In the latest issue of Soap Opera Digest on newsstands now, Y&R’s EP and head writer, Josh Griffith teased: “Sharon decides to throw out the champagne bottle thinking this will put an end to her uneasy feelings. Little does she know this gift is just the beginning of a very wild ride.:

Check out the previews for this week’s Y&Rm and a key scene from last Friday’s episode below.

Now let us know, do you think it will be revealed that Cameron Kirsten is stalking Sharon? Share your theories via the comment section.

Case has always said that storyline was one of her favorites and she and Linden Ashby worked well together now if JG can write it they will deliver .

I was kind of hoping it would be Matt Clark even if he supposedly died all those years ago.

Not sure I like it. I sense TPTB think they are answering viewers’ calls for attention to legacy and character but… so much oif the show seems repetitve. Sally pregnant after ormancing both Newman brothers. Diane’s return and rehash of how everyone hates her. A faked death. Look, I know the Cameron/Sharon story back in the day was exciting during a time Y&R seemed failling off the rails. I will endure 2.o it as it gives Sharon storyline and if it can bring Sharon and Nick together again. But make it good. We had Ashland and Jeremy set to terrorize Genoa City and they were offed quickly and without consequence. And that stupid Return of Stitch storyline. It may be time to elevate some second generation legacy characters, but please do better than Abby/Devon or the minimization of Chance. Let some bad actions be punished and send a few characters on their way. Bill Bell revived his show with the introduction of the Abbotts and Newmans. May be time for something like that again.

I’m cool with SC getting a great storyline as long as it’s well written. With JG who knows. I want to add I don’t want her mental health played with or jeopardized in any way.

Reply

If JG toyed with Sharon’s mental health, that will be the last time I watch the show. As someone who is bipolar, to have that toyed with is a non-starter for me.

Reply

All I know l whenever she and JM share a scene it’s magic !

Reply

I liked the actor Cameron Kirsten but did not like that SL. Also Nicki is a little too old now to help Sharon go bobbing for rats in the sewer again. Her ex husband, Nicki’s son was in Witness Protection but don’t think he’d return with a stalking type theme.

Reply

They’d have to get the character of Dylan recast as Steve Burton (thankfully he’s another shows problem) is otherwise busy someplace else.

Reply

I wasn’t watching Y&R back in the Sharon and Cameron days. And from what I read, I wouldn’t have become a viewer. There are just too much gruesome story lines in soaps for my taste anymore.

Reply

rose,
This really was one, I had to cover my eyes all during the sewer scenes, disgusting!

Reply

More Sharon any which way pls!!!!!
Have her lean on Chance too with Nick getting jealous for a nice Chance/ Sharon / Nick triangle but have her choose Chance. Nick doesn’t deserve her after that horrible choice of going after Sally his bros ex.

Reply

I wish people would give up on a Sharon, Chance connection, she’s way too old for him.

Reply

Sharon Case is timeless. Gorgeous no matter her age

Reply

Damien,
I agree. I’ve just got a thing about older women and younger men.

Reply

I don’t trust this story in Josh Griffith’s hands. But, it will be nice to see Sharon Case in a front-burner story. The original Cameron / Sharon story was a twisty, thriller-like ride.

Reply

Every time I see her and JM I say why in the heck are you not putting these two people together ?? They just shine together the chemistry is off the charts

Reply

Adele,
I always think of them as teens when they had their fairytale wedding. Sharon looked like a real princess.

Reply

Both of them deserved Emmy’s for the Cassie storyline I feel JM did his best work ever so yes I would love if they put them back together . I mean how many storylines of Nick and Adam over a silly woman . Also you need to address the Christian thing it’s really sad the invisible kid ! Sloppy writing!

Reply

Adele,
Funny you mentioned Christian. When all the kids had their little get together the other day, I thought that they have to get this kid in the mix, he and Conner our brothers, wonder if he knows Adam is his birth dad and his grandfather tried to take him from Dad Nick? What a family!

Reply

The Cameron Kirsten storyline was my favorite ever on the show. It felt like every episode ended with a cliffhanger that left you wondering what could happen to Sharon next. Completely different writers though, so hope it delivers something half as intriguing as the original.

I’m glad the queen is getting a story, and I hope it pulls Nick away from the dreadful Sally pairing

Reply

Kim,
There’s been lots of dreadful pairings lately, i.e Jack and Diane, Ashley and ???, forgot his name, Nate and Victoria, Abby and Devon. I don’t care for Nick and Sally either, because we know she doesn’t return his feelings, just trying to get over Adam.

Reply

Well I’m screaming if they make this about Sally ugh

Reply

If you make this storyline about anyone other then Case the roof will fall down on your blood stupid head JG this is not a story about a second rate actress Sally nobody gives a crap about her if you do this well I’m done and so is a big audience ! A 27 year veteran deserves this about her!!
