On The Young and the Restless, Sharon Newman (Sharon Case) ruins Lucy Romalotti's (Lily Brooks O'Briant) life. He did the unthinkable to young people. Sharon initially encouraged Faith Newman (Reylynn Caster) to become Lucy's friend. Now things have turned into a nightmare and Sharon may lose everything.
The Young and the Restless: Sharon Newman Loses Herself
After Lucy started drinking, Sharon lost it. It reminded Sharon of Daniel Romalotti's (Michael Graziadei) drunken night out in connection with Cassie Newman's (Camryn Grimes) death. At the time, it was Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) who targeted Daniel for revenge. He kept evidence proving Cassie was driving that night. But Nick finally gave up. And Daniel was found not guilty in the Young and the Restless case.
It's triggered by a recent car accident with Sharon, Faith and Lucy. When Faith crashed because she was distracted by Lucy's vomiting, it drove Sharon crazy. His bipolar disorder was already spiraling. And Cameron Kirsten (Linden Ashby) made sure he unfairly targeted Daniel and his family.
The Young and the Restless: Lucy Romalotti Loses Her Mother
Y&R fans may remember when Sharon poisoned Daniel's whiskey. Then Heather Stevens (Vail Bloom) caught him at his apartment. Then in a crazy twist, Sharon killed Heather. This was the first truly unthinkable terrible thing that Lucy had done to affect her life.
Then Sharon made Lucy's situation worse by making it look like Heather had abandoned Lucy and Daniel. These actions cannot be taken lightly. Not only did Lucy lose the only mother she ever knew on Young and the Restless, but Sharon went one step further towards making her an orphan for all intents and purposes.
Sharon planted evidence of her crime to set a trap for Daniel. Chancellor (Conner Floyd) found the bloody towels and Heather's phone where he left it. Daniel's impending arrest will likely devastate Lucy, and she will essentially be orphaned.
Young and the Restless spoilers hint that the consequences of Sharon's unthinkable actions will likely come during the November sweepstakes. It starts later this month. Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) will make sure no one forgets Sharon's crimes. He'll make sure Heather's killer pays for brutally murdering her. And for blaming Phyllis' son.
Nick will want Sharon to receive mental health treatment instead of prison time. But he will never look at her the same way again. And all Sharon's hopes of getting back together with him are over and done with.
Faith was there to comfort Lucy during this scary time. And she will be horrified by what her mother has done. He may pull away from Sharon until he realizes what happened and how his mother could be so cruel to Lucy.
Young and the Restless writers set this up for Sharon to lose everything. Although it may lead to a mental health crisis, the consequences will be severe and long-lasting for everyone; but mostly for Lucy and Sharon.
