[edit] Character

In 1996, Sharon married her high school sweetheart, Nicholas Newman (Joshua Morrow). Sharon and Nick come from different backgrounds. Nick Newman, the son of billionaire Victor Newman (Eric Braeden), is from a very privileged background. Sharon grew up with modest means. During her early years of high school in Madison, WI, her mother was paralyzed in a car accident after chasing Sharon; who ran off refusing to listen to her mother. When Sharon first started dating Nick, her mother was experiencing a great deal of pain and needed a very expensive surgery. Nick's father Victor paid for the surgery. Thereafter, Sharon would stop by Newman enterprises with sums of money--insisting upon repaying the debt despite that Victor told her the debt was forgiven. This is how she won a special place in her future father-in-law's heart. To date, however, she continues to enjoy a hot-and-cold relationship with mother-in-law Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott); who has always felt Sharon was a gold digger.

Also while in Madison, Sharon had a daughter, Cassie (Camryn Grimes), at the age of 16. Sharon put Cassie up for adoption. A woman by the name of Alice Johnson taking over the role of Cassie's mother. Years later Sharon and Cassie were reunited with Cassie with the help of Sharon's best friend; Grace Turner. Grace sought to find Cassie when it was thought Sharon would lose baby Noah, thinking Cassidy could fill the void if Noah did not survive.

Christine Blair (Lauralee Bell) assisted in processing the adoption, making Nick Newman Cassidy's legal father. The girl was excited to become a Newman, and even changed her first name to Cassie instead of Cassidy. Once Cassie and Noah got older, Sharon became bored with being a housewife and decided to try her hand at business. She began working as a spokesmodel for Jabot Cosmetics, and later decided to work as a spokesmodel for her in-law's company, Newman Enterprises.

Diego Guittierez was a handsome man who was always there for Sharon as a friend. Later Sharon would have sex with Diego, after incorrectly assuming Nick was having an affair with a woman from the coffeehouse. After Sharon confessed her affair to Nick, he decided to give his marriage another try. When bringing her flowers, he saw Sharon kissing his own father; Victor Newman through the front window. Sharon then left town to find herself, abandoning both of her children. During her absence, Cassie almost drowned in a pond, but was rescued by Nick. Cassie was in a coma for days while Sharon carried on an affair with Cameron Kirsten, who had sex with Sharon and then beat her up. Ashamed of herself further, Sharon stayed out of town long enough for her bruises to heal so Nick would not find out she had cheated again.

After returning home, Nick felt sorry for Sharon and took her back. Soon Sharon decided to become a stripper, so Nick had to give her a job at Newman Enterprises so as not to embarrass the family, even though the company could not afford to pay her. Nick secretly paid her salary.

In 2005, Sharon and Nick's daughter, Cassie, was killed in a car accident. This traumatic loss caused a tremendous strain on Nick and Sharon's marriage. Sharon turned to her ,soon to be, brother-in-law; Brad Carlton (Don Diamont) because Nick, Phyllis, and Neil were searching for Lily and Daniel, who was at the time responsible for Cassie's death. Sharon found comfort in Brad and the two became close friends, able to tell each other anything. At the same time, their kids, Abby (Brad's) and Noah (Sharon's) became friends as well. Later, Nick would find comfort and compassion in the arms of Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) Nick and Phyllis are now married and have a baby daughter Summer Ann born in December of 2006.

Sharon tried to forgive Nick for his indiscretion but wanted to keep a close eye on Phyllis, so she took a job as spokesmodel at NVP spas, a company founded by Phyllis and Nikki. Once learning that Phyllis was pregnant with Nick's baby, Sharon again turned to Brad. After making out with Brad in the company's parking lot while Nick looked on with shock, Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle), Brad's wife, fired Sharon from Newman Enterprises. Sharon still, however, works as the spokesperson for NVP.

Throughout their marriage, both Sharon and Nick have engaged in many indiscretions, but ended up back together. In 2006, Sharon and Nick separated after realizing they were no longer in love with each other. Sharon had hope to be with Brad, while Nick moved in with Phyllis. On Brad Carlton's wedding day, Sharon begged Brad not to marry Victoria Newman, but he declined and went ahead with the wedding.

During her involvement with Brad, Sharon was kidnapped by Nazis who were after Brad's mother. Sharon agreed to deliver something for Brad though she instinctively knew it was wrong. In spite of Nick and Sharon's separation, Nick worked with Brad and Victoria to get Sharon back. Once Sharon was safe, Victoria demanded Brad end his relationship with Sharon. Sharon, being vulnerable after her divorce and rejection from both Nick and Brad, turned to Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) while remaining bitter and jealous over Nick's relationship with Phyllis. She became more upset when she realized how much love Nick had towards Phyllis. After getting divorced, Nick could not wait to start a family with Phyllis. Nick married Phyllis in a small ceremony in New Mexico, upsetting both Jack and Sharon, resulting in both of them performing small acts of petty jealousy towards Nick and Phyllis.

In December of 2006, Brad gives Sharon a ride, stopping off at the home he shares with his wife; Victoria Newman. The power goes out because of a storm. Brad and Sharon tell each other how much they love one another. Though no sexual act took place this time, Victoria walked in on the two giggling, soaking wet after having been outdoors in the storm. Sharon continues to have private conversations, meetings and such with Brad; who chastises his own daughter for discussing private family matters, yet he shares them with Sharon, who eagerly eats up the attention from a married man.

In February, Phyllis Newman was kidnapped by Sheila Carter. During her absence, Jack kept telling Sharon how important Phyllis was to him, how much he would always be a part of her life. Alas, there will be pity for Sharon yet again.

Jack has now proposed to Sharon, and she accepted, making them engaged.
