“The Young and the Restless” (Y&R) spoilers tease on next week’s episodes that Sharon (Sharon Case) will have a tough time keeping her secret. When a character has a lot at stake, he or she can begin to crack under the pressure. Sharon will continue to struggle with the weight of this burden.
Y&R viewers know the drill with a storyline like this. Secrets tend to trickle out before they completely explode. That means we should probably start speculating on who might be the next character to learn the truth.
Could Adam (Justin Hartley) overhear Sharon admitting Sully’s true identity? People on soaps love to talk to themselves (or in this case, to a baby). In addition, eavesdropping is a very popular pastime on “The Young and the Restless.”
Adam is obviously going to find out about Sully sooner or later. It might be a nice twist if Adam learned what was up before everyone else. Let’s say Adam overhears Sharon stating something about Sully being Christian. A confrontation could ensue.
Adam might inadvertently blurt out that he’s Christian’s father.
Since Adam doesn’t want Nick (Joshua Morrow) to know the truth, Sharon could use that to her advantage. She might suggest that they should just leave everything alone. If Adam wants to expose her charade, Sharon may offer a deal.
She could agree to keep Adam’s secret if he agrees to keep hers.
On the other hand, Adam might be able to refrain from making any startling admissions. He could also realize that it would only cause more problems if he revealed Sharon’s deception. Right now, Adam feels like his secret is safe.
If Nick believes Christian is dead, it reduces the risk of any paternity drama. By spilling the news, Adam might make Nick and Dylan (Steve Burton) request a new DNA test as confirmation. Nick would know exactly who fathered this child when neither one of them matched the baby’s DNA.
In other words, keeping all of this under wraps would likely work in Adam’s favor. Of course, the jig will be up for both Sharon and Adam eventually. They’ll undoubtedly have to answer for their actions. What will be the consequences for these deceivers?
Stick with “The Young and the Restless” for updates on what the future holds.
So Y&R fans, what do you think about the idea of Adam finding out Sharon’s secret first? If it happens, would that be an interesting storyline shift? Could Adam feel conflicted about what to do with his new knowledge?
