I like Sharon Case; and again, it is not her fault that the writing and this storyline are terrible. But acting- wise, I wish she had gone full chewing-the-scenery  method. It surely would have made things at least campy/fun/interesting to watch.

So very true! Actually, apparently only one actor/actress is allowed to be obnoxiously, pathetically, embarrassingly awful. And that would be MS. 

Lastly, I wish show would rehab Adam. First - give him a new romantic partner - maybe Lily?  He needs to be featured more (in both the family and business stories). He can be a bit dark but possibly has the best heart of his awful family. It would be nice if he was allowed to hold his own again against The Newmans - and not be a complete ogre like his played-out father. But it seems that Nick and Victor are will always be the main focus when it comes to the men on Y&R.

I wish her face could move just a little bit! I generally like her, but all that Botox and fillers have not done SC any favors, especially when it comes to dramatic scenes like she’s playing now.

ITA! I’ve always hated the way the show treats Adam. Regardless of who plays him, he has the most heart of anyone in that stupid family. Victoria ‘cries’ to daddy that he’s hurting her children’s father but ultimately goes along with whatever he wants. Adam point blank told Victor that he will NOT do anything that hurts Jack or Jabot. Sure Adam is his own worst enemy, but he’s a better person than anyone gives him credit for and deserves a more prominent spot on the show, other than just the town punching bag.

[Sake614]

There is no way in hell that I would be able to lift Heathers body without falling down with it on top of me. Maybe Sharon works out and has more upper body strength, but come ON! Carrying her down the stairs from the condo to the garage? Lifting her into the car? Sorry not buying it.

I know none of us would look worse 25 years ago but it isn’t that she looks bad more that she looks so fake. And the fake looks so bad. She really needs to lay off the fillers and/or go see Terry and Paul for Botched. I have always thought SC was beautiful* with a kickass bod, which she still has. Now she looks like these women you see on reality shows who are addicted to procedures. (*The floppy straight hair she had sported for a long while didn’t help. Her hair looked so much nicer when she was young.)

[Sake614]

@lilmarysunshine agreed. She’s still a beautiful woman but she’s done herself no favors with all that work. At least see a good surgeon who won’t make the face look so plastic. 😖

[Sake614]

All Sharon has to do was call Nick to help her dispose of the body. Not like he has no experience in that field…

[jqdeco]

Years ago my grandmother got drunk and fell out of bed (she was living with my mom by then and did not hurt herself), and I had to come over to help get her back into bed. No, grandma wasn’t a lush, just had one to many drinks and yes, it was actually pretty funny. Anyway, she was dead weight, same as a dead body, and it was a struggle for myself and my mom just to lift her into a chair and then the bed. No way Sharon would have gotten a dead body into the trunk of her car and then lift it over the railing on the bridge to dump her in the water. Not buying it.

Sharon wasn't having the Cameron hallucination when she lugged Heather's body down how many flights of stairs, and hoisted it over the railing on the bridge to toss it in the river, or am I wrong on that?

[Joimiaroxeu]

So it wasn't all a dream and Sharon really did have a tragic incident with Heather?

Sigh, if only Sharon had gone to Cassie's grave before she decided killing Daniel was the cure for her grief.

Interesting how the date of Cassie's death was mostly obscured on her tombstone. Wonder why? (Answer: because then it'd be clear why Summer should only be in her late teens/early 20s at best. Now Summer's a few years younger than Mariah. The math don't math.)

The scene where Sharon poured a pitcher of milk over Nikki's head sure showed how much the coffeehouse patio set has shrunk. Back then Sharon could've thrown a party out there.

CG was such a great find when she was brought on as Cassie. She was an outstanding young actress.

Sharon became a kleptomaniac, a pyromaniac, and a nymphomaniac. A mania trifecta! The show kinda brushed off the 3-way WTD situation she got into with Jack, Billy, and Nick though.

Yay, the child you didn't even know you'd given birth to! A tried and true soap opera staple, lol.

An unexpected Neil appearance. Whoa.

Sharon said her children were the best part of her but where was any mention of Noah?

Re the previews for next week: please tell me Sharon didn't keep Heather's phone. Oy vey. 😐

[Js Nana]

There's a part of me that really thinks that Sharon murdering Heather and dumping her body in the river was actually a hallucination - time will tell, I guess.

Weren’t the four of them lifting a “dead” JT? How many dead bodies is she gonna drag around in her lifetime? 

[One Tough Cookie]

It was interesting seeing the gradual disfiguring  Sharon did to her face over the years.  She went from a very pretty woman to looking like an overly  ripe tomato about to burst.  It's a shame.  If only there was a procedure that could take out some of the fillers,

She must pumping iron if  she could lift Heather and drop her over a bridge

There is if she had juviderm. A shot of vitamin K will undo it. If it was radiesse it would have tp settle on its own. But all fillers settle. Sadly these women just go back for more 

[Stpauliegirl]

This might be petty,  but after watching those flashbacks, Sharon Case looked much better pre plastic surgery and veneers, IMO. 

[Kemper]

What I was afraid to say before about Sharon's emoting...it was terrible. Her poor face is so puffy and those googly eyes. She seemingly has had a tough time the last couple of years - her public engagement to the Adam actor went kaflooey and then she was back- burnered for ages. Then gets a big storyline that is possibly one of the worst in this soap's history - for her maybe 30th? anniversary with the show. The producers/studio heads/network, etc.  should be ashamed with what they have allowed the writer/writing staff to do. They are killing this soap. Gosh it seems that my posts these past weeks have been really negative...sorry. Hopefully I will come out of my Scroogey-ness for the holidays.

No need to apologize for this sentiment. It’s so true, there isn’t a single storyline currently which I find interesting. Sharon has had multiple flashback episodes within the past year. It’s overkill. And the time to give Sharon Case a dramatic storyline was back when she could still move her facial muscles. 
There need to be major adjustments on this show: Adam should be a hero, Claire and Diane would be MUCH more interesting as bad girls, and for crying out loud somebody needs to get a huge win over Victor now and then! Otherwise it’s just more of the same old same old.

[ScoobieDoobs]

The one thing I got from the Sharon lovefest is how long she's been messing with fillers/injectables.  Sure, there was no time stamp on the scenes in "Sharon's Greatest Hits", but you could tell which scenes were from 30 years ago & which scenes were from 10 or 12 -- and those were the ones where she was starting to look puffy. 

Liked seeing Nikki getting a pitcher of milk dumped on her.  And the shocked look on the ex-stripper with the haughty attitude was priceless.  Yeah, she's always been so awful to Sharon & continues to be the same way.  Yech.

I was expecting Sharon to have dreamed up Heather's death & we'd get the reveal.  Guess not?  Still think something happened when she blacked out & Sharon will ultimately be determined to not be responsible for Heather's death.  Hmmm, dumping a dead body is pretty illegal, but this is GC so no jail time for Sharon?

So what's next?  Chance gonna be investigating her & show will turn into Law & Order?  Well, anyway, more Chance is OK . . .

I think the scene with 
Daniel and Lucy was part of Sharon's dream.

Now on the slight chance that anyone from the show reads here: we are NOT making fun of SC, we are all sad that she feels she has to disfigure herself in order to look young. She's not fooling ANYONE 

[crows works]

 Points for little Cassie showing up. Wish Heather is dead BUT not if Sharon killed her. I think the actress is leaving. If Sharon was going to kill someone Phil would be 18 feet under. Mr. Diane must be getting sick of that outfit.

And on the bridge, instead of carrying it 2 metres to the closest railing, Sharon-the-Hulk took it two car lengths ahead of her vehicle to under the lights, then to the railing & over. Never wondering if anyone would spot her.

Camryn Grimes could out-act Sharon at 6, 14 and still today.

Did Sharon help with the disposal of JT's "body"? As well as trapsing the sewers of GC with Nikki & "Cameron's" body (really Frank Barritt, Cassie's father). If Heather's body is found, I expect the cops to marvel at the superb knot-tying of a serial body disposal person.

Edited September 29 by Denize

[Joimiaroxeu]

Lucy's supposed to be grounded but she got to go see the latest movie with Daniel. Of course.

Mariah: so, Mom, it's kinda late. Where did you go? What did you do?
Sharon: not much. I broke into Daniel's apartment, killed Heather, and then dumped her body in the river. Oopsies, did I say that out loud?

Sharon did keep Heather's phone!

Just a few hours ago in GC time Phyllis was cheering Billy on for not taking Victoria's buyout offer. Today she was making the opposite argument. WTF?

Ehh, I don't like Billy planning to use his kids to work Victoria. AFAIC we're getting enough of that awfulness with Chelsea, Connor, and Adam.

Wow, the writers must've consulted an IT expert (Or the average 6th grader.) Ghoul Cameron completely explained how Sharon had:

• used Heather's corpse to get past her phone's facial recognition security;
• changed Heather's voicemail password; and,
• turned off the phone's location service.

I'm lowkey impressed the writers made the effort to cover most of the bases with Sharon using Heather's stolen phone.

Sharon even thought to grab some of Heather's clothes so it would look like Heather had suddenly left town. Gee, being bipolar has turned Sharon into a criminal genius. Sure. 🙄 😉

Ghoul Cameron still wants Sharon to murder Daniel. Heck, Sharon might as well end Lucy, Summer, and Phyllis too. Wipe out the whole bloodline! That'll fix everything!

When will Phyllis ever change outta that purple chest-tissue-holder dress?  Ever?

Sorry, I won't believe Heather's dead till I see that annoying hair on a slab, CSI-style.  At least give that to us, Show, so we can celebrate! 

Why is Cameron still around?  Did he kill Heather?  And Daniel's next?  OK by me.

There was a syndicated show called "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" which ran from 1984 through 1995 that had the catchphrase "champagne wishes and caviar dreams," interestingly, it was back in the early 1980s that Y&R transitioned into its "Lives of the Battling Billionaires" phase, from which it has yet to emerge - the "producers/studio heads/network, etc" need to wake up to the fact that what flew in the 1980s (aka "the me decade") no longer resonates in an era when most people are making sacrifices left and right just to keep a roof over their heads and food on the table - it's time to transition to storylines dramatizing the personal trials and troubles of Genoa City's middle-class and put the Abbotts/Newmans/Chancellors/Winters families in the background.

Cameron is a manifestation of Sharon's current psychosis, so wherever Sharon goes, so does Cameron - personally, I think it would be much more effective if Cameron was presented as a voice Sharon hears in her head with her seeing him only occasionally as a fleeting wispy apparition.

[ScoobieDoobs]

Yeah, but I'm wondering if Cameron might end up being an "alter", sorta like Ashley's, and he'll keep bumping off the most annoying GC'ers -- Daniel, Lucy, Phyllis . . . where could it end?

. . . although I suspect that EB has it written into his contract that there will be no changes in the show until he has gone to his final reward.

So, if Sharon didn't actually kill Heather, which is how I'm leaning, how did she get Heather's phone?

I disagree. soaps have always been escapism for many. I don’t need to see people struggling every day. I see that in real life. I watch TV to forget about RL for a little while. I just wish YR was GOOD TV…

She has beautiful wave/curly hair.  She let it down twice.  It would be q nice change if the producers did that.

[Chatty Cake]

Victoria is an imbecile for thinking her daddy won’t be upset that she offered Billy a buy out. Is she even authorized to do something like that?

Why are we acting like Claire is some sweet innocent who didn’t do the Newmans dirty when she worked there?  I’m sure she can handle Kyles douchey double agent routine.

Is Heather really dead? That would be amazing. Sharon shouldn’t waste her next kill on Daniel though. Go for Phyllis! The fish rots from the head.

Edited October 2 by Chatty Cake

[Stpauliegirl]

I don’t think Heather is dead. I bet she turns up in a few months with amnesia as a result of her head injury.  Sharon will freak out about what will happen if she regains her memory.  Just my guess.

10/2  Boy was I wrong.  They actually killed off Heather. Wonder how they will get Sharon off?  While she does have mental illness, she still knew right from wrong and tried to get rid of the body. Seems like guilty behavior to me. Also wonder how Sharon will be able to live with herself once her mental health issues are under control. She was defending herself when she killed Cameron.  Not the case with Heather.

[Joimiaroxeu]

Audra, if you want to have a secret meeting, don't do it in the middle of the GCAC dining room. Yeesh.

Sad to hear Jack eagerly ragging on Phyllis to Billy today. I know bridges have been burnt but Phack was one of the best couplings YR has ever had, IMO.

Wow, Kyle was definitely not playing nice with his Glissade co-CEO. I'd almost feel bad for Audra but if anyone can handle the nepo baby, it has to be her.

Was that a chem test between Claire and Nate? Nah. Nate doesn't want that Grandpa Victor smoke, lol.

I have to agree with Billy on one point: if Jack has to complain about Billy running Abbott-Chancellor, he should address his concerns to someone who might care. Like the owner, Jill.

Why didn't Billy tell Jack that Lily was in cahoots with Victor? Then maybe Jack would stop hyping Lily.

Yikes, I hope Audra has no idea Claire is a virgin and wants Kyle to pop her cherry. Audra's warning snap about Kyle not doing things with a gentle touch could've had a whole nother meaning. 😼

"I want to know all of you." Lol, that's Daytime Soap Opera Speak for, "Introduce me to your peen." Go get you some, Claire.

Yo Cole, were your ears burning? Your baby mama/girlfriend just threw your name at her daddy in a show of iffy defiance.

Nate, you probably didn't recognize the text sender, Amy Lewis, because she left GC before you were born. But not before she dated Nathan Sr. Hmm. Surprise sibling?

Well, Zuleyka was making those same sour-puss/just-smelled-shit faces that everyone in GC makes when they see Audra.  Is that acting -- or merely mirroring back the looks you're gettin'?  Little itty bitty babies can do that . . .

The sniping btw Audra & Pomp was getting on my nerves.  Vic's playing both of 'em & clearly couldn't care less whether Pissade makes a profit or not.  Audra and her stupid, deluded over-confidence in whatever crap she's "working on" is a total waste of time.  Vic couldn't care less.  She's just there to drive Kyle nuts & when Vic feels like it or suits his purpose, he'll throw her away.

Producers, please skip the scenes with Vic eating cuz -- Blech!

Nice to get a brief Sharon break.  Still wondering if Heather tripped on her hair while Sharon was blacked out & hit her head on a table.  Hey, she already showed us she's a klutz when she clumsily fell while chasing Sharon before she went unconscious so . . .

Hmm. I'm okay with Jack trashing Billy because that's what some siblings do. Plus those two have a rough history together as Abbott heirs. But Diane? You can STFU about Billy and any other members of Jack's family. Grrr.

Hah hah, Audra and Kyle. Play shady games, win shady prizes. You're both tools in Victor's eyes.

Faith looked unusually small to me today, standing next to Nick. Was she barefoot or was he wearing higher heels?

Diane said Jabot would be a laughing stock in the business world if they didn't hire Kyle's replacement. Whaaaattt? Jabot may be the object of giggles but I doubt Kyle's firing is the reason. Probably its co-CEO wifey with virtually no experience in the cosmetics industry.

Hey Diane, don't start none, won't be none. Your first mistake was thinking Audra would be intimidated by you.

Kyle made the same error Lily did. He gave up his inside information to Victor before securing the quid pro quo he wanted. Sigh.

So Sharon already covered her bases with Paul by using Heather's phone to text him. She's a criminal genius! 🤡

Whoa, Heather's corpse washed up on the river bank already. And the GCPD identified her by her fingerprints. I'm thinking Sharon needs to watch more mafia movies because they know to remove all the fingertips and teeth before disposing of a dead body.

Audra. How TF did you let yourself not only get outplayed by Kyle but lose Glissade too? Giiiirrll.

Yuck. Pale, bloated, waterlogged Heather laying in the morgue was not something I needed to see.

[Chatty Cake]

Audra and Kyle are dumb dummies. Each one clamoring for Victors attention and praise. Audra, I get it, she didn’t know what she would be dealing with. Kyle however has worked for Victor before. It would have been easier to make nice with Diane. He needn’t get too excited by Audra’s firing.

Oh no. Nicks making that face he makes when he knows something is wrong.
