Y&R’s Sharon Champagne Mystery Gift Will Soon Be Her Worst Nightmare. Who Is Watching Her?

Jan 01, 2024

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.

‘American Idol’ Season 21 Finale Preview: Who Should Win … Colin Stough, Megan Danielle or Iam Tongi?

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… Read more »

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

Sharon Case is timeless. Gorgeous no matter her age

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

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.

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

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

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!

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!

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

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.

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

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!!

This week's episodes of General Hospital are set to deliver some needed results and some bombshells. First, Victor's will is read, but, in true GH fashion, the evil Cassadine delivers his reading via a videotaped message of himself in a return appearance by Charles Shaughnessy,

Meanwhile, Trina (Tabyana Ali), Curtis (Donnell Turner) and Portia (Brook Kerr) have all been awaiting the DNA tests results to prove that Trina is the biological daughter of Curtis, not Marcus Taggert (Réal Andrews) .

At the same time, Curtis is moving back in with Portia, after his lip lock with his ex-wife, Jordan (Tanisha Harper).

Spencer (Nicholas Chavez) and Trina are at the center of both storylines, because Uncle Victor probably left something behind for Spencer, while Trina will be dealing with the fallout from the DNA results.

Now weigh-in, who do you think will be revealed as Trina's true father? Curtis or Taggert? Share your theories via the comment section below.

This week on General Hospital, Sonny (Maurice Benard) has a marriage proposal for Nina (Cynthia Watros). However, she's feeling the walls may be closing in on her when she regrets her actions against Drew (Cameron Mathison) and Carly (Laura Wright). As GH viewers know, she had turned them into the SEC for insider trading as a revenge-tactic against Carly.

In the latest issue of Soap Opera Digest on newsstands now, Sonny (Maurice Benard) is set to take a big step and ask Nina to marry him. This, comes on the heels of Nina bowing out of attending Michael (Chad Duell) and Willow's (Katelyn MacMullen) wedding, to keep the peace in the family, and letting him attend alone.

On the latest developments, Maurice Benard shared with SOD on the marriage proposal: "It's not an immediate yes from Nina. I think because she's already done the bad deed (of calling the SEC). She's trying to get out of it, so she doesn't dig herself deeper."

Previewing Sonny's profession of love to Nina, the three-time Daytime Emmy winner said of the upcoming scenes: "That was my job as an actor, to convince her in this monologue that, ‘I don't care about what you’ve done.’ He doesn't care about anything but her, ‘and I love you, and let's do this.'"

As to how he thinks Sonny's proposal to Nina stacks up with others in his GH career, "I’m not saying this is the best, but I am saying it's up there with the best that I’ve had."

Of course, what will happen if Sonny finds out what Nina did to Carly with the SEC insider trading deception? Stay tuned.

Check out the promo for this week's GH below, then let us know. Are you hoping Sonny and Nina get engaged? Share your thoughts in the comment section.

It could be a nail-biter for tonight's three finalists to be named the next American Idol. ABC has planned a live coast-to-coast, three-hour season finale event featuring special performances from music legends and today's top artists. Meanwhile, the Top 3 contestants take the stage for the final time competing for America's vote.

Now, while it has appeared that the biggest pop and fan reaction in-studio has consistently belonged to Iam Tongi, that doesn't mean that Colin Stough or Megan Danielle don't have a chance! Over the years, viewers have seen the nationwide vote, not match up with the predicted winner.

On Sunday night's May 21st season finale (beginning at 8 p.m. EST), in addition to this year's top 12 returning to the stage one last time, Keith Urban, Ruben Studdard and Clay Aiken, Ellie Goulding, Jelly Roll, Pitbull, TLC, James Blunt, Jazmine Sullivan, REO Speedwagon's Kevin Cronin, Kylie Minogue, Lainey Wilson and Lauren Daigle, plus Idol hosts, Luke Bryan, Katy Perry and Lionel Richie, are all said to be performing.

Let's take a look at the Top 3 vying for the title:

COLIN STOUGH

This southern ‘good ole’ boy and young man loves his momma, and he has made that quite clear during his performances. Stough's gritty voice and his stellar performance of Robyn's Dancing on My Own, could make this a second year in a row that America voted for the singer who was most ‘rough around the edges’ performing-wise, but won their hearts, think Noah Thompson, ya’ll!

MEGAN DANIELLE

Clearly, the vocalist of all vocalists of the top singers that remained in the competition. She has the raspy alto that has made her unique, and loves her country and gospel tunes. Her own personal idol, Lauren Daigle, who showed up during her Idol audition, is on tonight's line-up. So, stand by for a duet between the two. Meanwhile, last week's performance on ‘Disney Night’ of You Can't Stop The Girl, truly showed her vocal chops in the most magnificent way.

IAM TONGI

Throughout the competition, Tongi's silky smooth vocals and heartfelt simplistic renditions of popular songs, have grabbed the attention of the judged and America from the start. The loss of his father, and the man who gave him, his now famous guitar, has been one of the major storylines of the season. Tongi's audition of James Blunt's Monsters brought Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie to tears. Throughout the season, Tongi has been the most consistent performer.

Now, let us know in the comment section below if Colin, Megan or Iam should be named the next ‘American Idol’ on tonight's season finale.
