The Young and the Restless (Y&R) spoilers tease that danger could be headed straight for Sharon Newman (Sharon Case). Let’s consider some clues as we prepare for what’s ahead. For starters, it’s clear that Y&R writers are desperately trying to boost their ratings.
Someone probably lit a fire under the writing team because we can feel the shift. Instead of just couples and arguments, we’re starting to get storylines that could go somewhere. Sharon has honestly been neglected by the current regime, so it’d be great for some action to be centered around her.
In the episode airing December 6, there’s also a big change in Connor Newman’s (Judah Mackey) behavior. The Young and the Restless fans know Connor’s been working with Sharon, who’s succeeded in getting the kid to open up about the monster within. Connor has repeatedly insisted that he likes Sharon, but not anymore! He suddenly decides these Sharon visits are taking valuable “Chadam” time away from him.
Sharon suggests it’s good to have friends, but Connor’s not interested. He has a little chant, which he claims is like casting a spell and helps keep the monster away: “Can’t beat three. Mom and Dad and me.” Connor can also be heard whispering another version of the chant later, which includes a line about wanting Sharon to go away. Even based on the look in Connor’s eyes, it’s plain to see Y&R’s going somewhere dark with all this.
That brings us to another hint. During a chat with Chelsea, Adam worries that the monster within Connor could be genetic. He reflects on his own path and feels like although he was raised in a loving home, he still ended up doing horrible things.
Y&R also offers a moment where Chelsea says, “I’ll admit there was a time I thought maybe there was some darkness running through the veins of the Newman men, but we can’t think about Connor that way.” Well, why not? Connor is practically Adam’s mini-me – and Adam has indeed resorted to some awful schemes. It may be Connor’s turn since his parents are adamant about him sticking to his sessions with Sharon.
The question is: What will Connor do to get rid of poor Sharon? It might be interesting if Connor ended up messing with Sharon’s bipolar meds somehow – just like Adam messed with Victor Newman’s (Eric Braeden) medication. If Connor notices Sharon takes pills, we wouldn’t put anything past him. Soap kids can be pretty smart when the story calls for it.
Of course, there could be some other road to trouble for Sharon. Whatever the case, The Young and the Restless spoilers do hint at some trouble. Y&R buzz points to Mariah Copeland (Camryn Grimes) and Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) sharing some scenes in an upcoming story. That makes sense considering this possible Connor-driven Sharon disaster.
We should also mention that according to her Instagram stories, Cait Fairbanks (Tessa Porter) has seemingly been on set a bit more than usual lately. That’s important since Tessa mainly shows up to support Mariah, who will certainly be a mess if something happens to Sharon.
Bottom line, Connor clearly has a dark side. Soaps don’t put a kid creepily glaring on the staircase for no reason! Connor’s got some dirty tricks in store, so Sharon had better watch out.
