Young and Restless character history:

Sixteen-year-old Sharon Collins and her single, paraplegic mother, Doris, lived in Madison, Wisconsin, after being abandoned by her father. Sharon was somewhat responsible for her mother's accident when Doris went out looking for Sharon in a snowstorm, which crippled Doris. Sharon's best friend in high school was Grace Turner. When Sharon told her high school boyfriend, Frank Barritt, that she was pregnant after he had pressured her to have sex, he wanted nothing to do with her or his child. Sharon and her mother decided to give the baby up for adoption because they felt they were unable to raise a baby properly. The baby girl was adopted by Alice Johnson and named Cassidy.

Sharon and her mother moved to Genoa City when Sharon was 18. Alice later abandoned Cassie to pursue a man, and left the child in the care of her elderly mother, Millie. Cassie loved Millie, but it was very difficult for a woman of her age to keep up with a young child, and Cassie had no friends but her dolls.

Sharon was a sweet girl who worked a part-time job to help her mother make ends meet. Nick fell for Sharon at first sight, but since she was dating Matt Clark, he stayed with Amy. Nick ended up winning Sharon from Matt, who hated Nick. Nick and Matt got into a fight. Matt kicked Nick's butt, and Victor swore he would teach his son to box. To get even, Matt raped Sharon. Sharon told no one but a therapist, who tried to help her deal with it.

Nick's mother, Nikki, objected strongly to Sharon, and believed her to be a gold-digger. Mother and son fought, and Nick moved in with his father. Unlike Nikki, Victor adored Sharon, and even paid for an operation for her mother, which Doris could not afford. When Sharon and Nick beat out Amy and Matt as queen and king of the high school senior Polynesian dance, Matt took revenge. He told Nick that his virginal Sharon had given up a baby for adoption when she was 16. Nick didn't believe him, and they got into a bad fistfight, and both were injured. Sharon admitted to Nick that it was all true, and Nick understood eventually.

Sharon and Nick were about to get married when Sharon admitted that Matt had raped her. Nick raced to Matt's apartment, only to find him on the floor in a pool of blood. The police arrested Nick, who thought Sharon did it. When Matt came to, he said Nick was the one who shot him. Nick was found guilty and sentenced to 15 years in prison. Sharon and the Newman family were devastated.

Victor tracked down Amy who was suffering from a serious trauma. He was convinced it was caused by something that happened the night Matt was shot. Upon seeing Matt, Amy remembered she had shot him after he raped her. Matt fled, Nick was released from prison, and Sharon and Nick married in a small ceremony as a disapproving Nikki looked on.

Not long after they married Sharon "accidentally" got pregnant. Nick wanted to wait and tried to talk her into an abortion, but Sharon couldn't do it. Months later, Sharon fell on the ice and went into early labor. When it appeared that their newborn baby, Noah, was going to die, Sharon's best friend, Grace Turner, who was in Genoa City, too, and Grace's boyfriend, Tony Viscardi, tracked down Sharon's first child, Cassie, to help Sharon ease the pain of her loss. They convinced her adoptive Grandmother Millie to allow them to return Cassie, who was five years old, to Genoa City to be united with her natural mother. But Noah lived, so Grace decided to keep Cassie until the "time was right" to tell Sharon. Grace fell in love with the engaging child, and kept the child's true identity to herself for over a year.

One night Nick was out partying with friends while Sharon stayed home ill. Grace was helping out by spending the night in the nursery, but actually plotting to steal Nick. Nick arrived home drunk and made love to a willing Grace, thinking she was his wife. The next morning, when he realized his error, he panicked and swore Grace to secrecy.

When Cassie's true identity was revealed, Nick had a hard time accepting her. Sharon moved out, but their love for one another reunited them, and Nick began to love Cassie as his own. Cassie went to live with Sharon, Nick, and Noah.

Grace used her secret with Nick to get a job as Nick's assistant at Newman, and renewed her attempts to steal Nick from Sharon. Sharon was going with Nick on a business trip, but when Noah fell sick, Grace went instead. Nick was angry with Sharon, and allowed Grace to seduce him. Sharon showed up the next morning to surprise him, but was stunned to hear, outside the door, Grace telling Nick that their lovemaking was incredible. Sharon moved out with the kids and would not forgive him for his infidelity.

Then Cassie's adoptive mother, Alice Johnson, re-appeared and hired lawyer Michael Baldwin to fight for the return of her "daughter." Sharon decided to take back the repentant Nick. Although Alice was about to win custody, Sharon and Nick were able to convince the jobless and flighty Alice that Cassie would be better off with them. Alice gave up her parental rights, and Sharon was awarded custody of Cassie. After a waiting period, Cassie legally became a Newman when Nick adopted her.

Nick and Sharon bought Crimson Lights Coffee House, the scene of their courtship, to keep it from going out of business and so they would have something to work on together. They later opened a second one in Milwaukee, and had plans for a third. The Nick Newmans were a happy loving family.

In 2000 the Newmans had a scare when Cassie tested positive for tuberculosis, but it turned out be inactive and was cured by antibiotics.

Matt Clark returned to town as Carter Mills, disguised by plastic surgery, and worked at Crimson Lights. He teamed up with Nick's old cellmate, Larry "Wartman" Warton, both bent on revenge, plus Matt wanted Sharon for himself. Carter date rape drugged Tricia McNeil into sleeping with him, and used her to help set up Nick and put him in jail for selling drugs. Carter became a trusted employee whom they even considered as manager of their next franchise, and Sharon's confidant while Nick was in jail.

One evening Carter was invited to dinner at their home, so he arranged for Nick to be very late. While waiting for Nick to arrive, Carter put a date rape drug in Sharon's margarita. Nick arrived just in time as Carter was about to rape the semi-conscious Sharon. Thinking she had drunk too much, Nick sent Carter home and helped Sharon to bed. Weeks later Tricia caught Carter attempting to rape Sharon at a cabin in the woods where he had lured her, but Victor arrived and sent him running.

Tricia picked Carter up and drove off a cliff expecting to kill them both. She survived with cuts and bruises, but the evil Carter/Matt had severe injuries and was expected to die. Carter deliberately pulled out his breathing tube, committing suicide to make Nick look like a murderer. With his dying words, he viciously told Nick that he had raped Sharon on "margarita night." But Nick was exonerated by the testimony of Tricia and Larry Warton.

Nick, finally out of jail and without the threat of Matt, lavishly romanced Sharon to help her get used to normal life again. Months later, Sharon realized she was pregnant. Both knew that if Matt had told the truth, the baby could be his. Nick demanded a paternity test, but Sharon decided the risk before birth was too great, so was willing to trust that it was Nick's and have her baby no matter what. During a fight about this, Nick knocked over a chair, slammed out the door in a huff, and drove off, creating a loud bang as his tire exploded against the curb at high speed. Fearful for Nick, Sharon ran for the door, tripped over the chair, and landed on her stomach. Her baby girl was delivered prematurely and later died. A paternity test showed the baby was indeed Nick's, so Sharon was unable to forgive him for killing their unborn child due to his attitude.

Diego Guittierez seemed to be in the right place at the right time whenever Sharon needed a friend. Time after time, when Sharon was in crisis, Diego was there for her, but his intentions were always those of a friend. Just as there appeared to be hope that Nick and Sharon would get back together, Sharon caught Nick kissing another woman in the office at the coffee house and turned to Diego, but he rebuffed her several times. But after one advance too many, Diego succumbed and made love with a needy Sharon, who was jumping to conclusions that Nick was having an affair with Grace, who she happened to see passing through town. Instead, Nick whisked her away on a second honeymoon, sure that once they were alone, they would reconcile. Reconcile they did, but the guilty Sharon had a hard time enjoying herself. Once they returned home, Sharon felt she needed to tell Nick the truth, but Diego gave his notice with the intent to leave town, and talked her out of it. Victoria and Diego began seeing each other, much to Sharon's distaste, with all thoughts of leaving town apparently forgotten by Diego.

Victoria, suspicious of the relationship between Diego and Sharon, feigned interest in Diego. But she fell for him in spite of her intentions, and they began an affair. One day, just as they were declaring their love, Sharon was admitting her dalliance with Diego to Nick. Nick took it very badly, beat up Diego, then called up Grace and let her sooth his bruised ego in bed. Victoria found out and broke up with Diego. All the Newmans found out and took sides with Nick or Sharon as they told the kids they were separating once again.

Diego explained to all that would listen that it was only one time, it meant nothing, and he was not the aggressor. No one believed him but Victoria, who forgave him. Unfortunately that meant she had to go against her family's wishes to be with the man she loved. She moved out of the ranch, and she and Diego were temporarily living together in a hotel. Nick disowned her, Victor tried to pay off Diego while comforting Sharon, and Nikki tried to get everyone to give them some space when she wasn't berating Sharon for her foolishness.

But two thugs beat up Diego, took the $100,000 Victor gave him, and Diego was later found and taken to the hospital as a John Doe. Victoria tracked him down. Although things didn't look good because Diego was in serious condition, he recovered. Victoria was looking forward to buying a condo together, but Diego was more interested in revenge against the guys who beat him up. He arranged, with the help of Larry, to coerce Victor into setting them up. The plot worked for the most part, and the thugs were arrested. Victoria decided she didn't like the vengeful man Diego had become and broke it off. Diego hit the road again for parts unknown.

After much soul-searching, Nick decided to give his marriage another chance. Delivering flowers and a present for Sharon, he paused at the window of their home to see Sharon kissing Nick's father, Victor. Furious, Nick called off any idea of reconciliation. When confronted, Victor took the blame, as a result of being on pain pills, although the mixed-up Sharon was once again coming onto any man who was nice to her. Sharon decided her life was a mess and she left town.

Cassie felt betrayed and angry with her parents after Nick brushed her off, being more interested in berating Victor than comforting his daughter. She wandered off and fell through the ice on the ranch pond. Nick finally realized she was missing a long time later, jumped into the pond and rescued Cassie. She was CareFighted to the hospital and was in a coma for days.

Meanwhile in the waiting room, Victor confessed to Nikki that Nick had caught him kissing Sharon. Nikki slapped Victor, and shouted, "How could you?" Cassie eventually recovered, Nikki blamed it all on Sharon, but forgave Victor. Sharon returned months later with a new resolve to not be trod on by any Newman again. Nick made up with her, though never forgave Victor. Cassie did not forgive Sharon for abandoning her. Suddenly Cassie's father, Frank Barritt, showed up in town and began trying to see her. Cassie wanted to know who he was, but her parents wouldn't tell.

In late 2003 Sharon was shocked to realize that software entrepreneur, Cameron Kirsten, had arrived in town to make a deal with Newman, and Nick was handling it. It was revealed that while she was gone all those months, she had met up with Kirsten in a bar in Denver, they went up to her hotel room, and Sharon ended up having sex with him and being beaten to a pulp. Sharon had been afraid to risk her marriage by reporting it to the police, so she stayed away long enough for her bruises to heal. Cameron began taunting and threatening Sharon that he would tell Nick about "their affair" until New Year's Eve, when he told her to meet her at a fleabag hotel for another round, or else. Sharon met him there, but refused to go through with it.

When Cameron attempted to rape her, Sharon clobbered him over the head with a champagne bottle. In a panic, she dragged the body down the back stairs and hid it behind a dumpster, and before long it was buried in snow. Cameron was declared missing, and Grace Turner arrived in Genoa City looking for him. It seems they were involved in a long-distance romance, and Grace was fraught with worry over his disappearance. Sharon had confided the events of New Year's Eve to Attorney Michael Baldwin, who kept advising her to go to the police. Instead, knowing the desk clerk could identify her, and because it was beginning to thaw, she moved the body. Sharon made a wrong turn, ended up at a dead end between buildings in a seedy part of town, and was surrounded by thugs who wanted to rape her. She talked them into opening the trunk for a blanket, but they got scared and fled when they saw the dead body inside.

Sharon drove off into the night and ended up at a biker bar out by the lake. On the way out after using the restroom, Sharon ran into Grace, who hassled her about her appearance and her panicked state. Sharon finally had enough, and took her to the back of the car to show her why she was panicking, but the trunk was empty. Sharon made it home, but was still jumpy for days. Grace dropped by often, accusing Sharon of killing Grace's boyfriend. Sharon began to be haunted by the rotting body of Cameron. Then old friend Larry Warton, bruised, beaten, and just released from the hospital, paid her a visit and asked Sharon about the body. Sharon, relieved that she wasn't imagining what happened, and gratefully confessed the whole story. It seemed he had seen her arrive at the bar that night, popped the trunk, and taken the body and hid it for her.

Sharon was relieved when Larry promised to keep mum. But the haunting kept on, and the police started asking questions. Sharon thought she was going crazy and insisted Larry show her the dead body. Larry took Sharon, accompanied by mother-in-law Nikki, whom Sharon had confided in, down into the wet, stinking, rat-infested sewer, and found the body. Although she could identify the clothes as Cameron's, the face was too decomposed to recognize. Sharon continued to be haunted by Cameron and taunted by Grace until the body was discovered. Much to everyone's shock, the body turned out to be that of Cassie's father, Frank Barritt, who had stopped trying to see Cassie around New Year's Eve, so Sharon became the number one suspect.

At her last haunting prior to her arrest, Cameron finally said, "Gotcha," to her, and sent her running screaming from the house. Later on, after Cameron showed up at the Athletic Club, very much alive, Larry, Sharon, Michael Baldwin, and Nick figured out that Grace was helping Cameron with his plot for revenge on Sharon and convinced her to help them expose him. The body was found eventually after it washed out of the sewer, and turned out to be Sharon's ex-boyfriend and daughter Cassie's father, Frank. Cameron had set Sharon up for Frank's murder.

Luckily for Larry, when all was said and done, he was not implicated. But Cameron escaped in his private jet with Sharon held hostage. Nick stowed away in the plane and jumped Cameron. They managed to get him into a parachute, and all three bailed out of the plane. Cameron landed in a tree, which broke his leg, but Nick and Sharon made him walk to civilization where they called the police and turned him over.

Their harrowing experience made it easier for Nick to forgive Sharon that time, but it didn't take long for Sharon to get back into her life and become bored again. One night, she followed Nikki to where she worked as an emcee at Marilyn's Cabaret. Finding a secluded spot, Sharon was fascinated watching their best stripper, Brittany (a.k.a., Marilyn) perform. Sharon began fanaticizing about doing the same, but once Nikki and Nick found out, they tried to point her ambitions in another direction to save her children embarrassment. Through Jack, Nick helped Sharon get a job at Jabot as spokesperson, and since Jabot was still in a bad financial situation, Nick was paying her salary under the table. Sharon later found out and quit, but Nick hired his wife away from Jabot to be spokesperson for the Newman Cosmetic Line.

Their daughter Cassie turned 14 and began to hang out at Crimson Lights with her 16-year-old friends, Lily Winters and Sierra. It wasn't long before she was trying to act their age, and was caught being secretive, skipping school, and accepting a ride home with an older boy unknown to her parents, so Cassie was grounded. She had a crush on 16-year-old Daniel Romalotti, but he and Lily were getting close -- much to the disdain of their parents, who forbade them to see each other. Word was going around school about a secret party to be held in a park. All the older crowd was going, and Cassie just had to go, too -- especially since Daniel said he would be there. She managed to talk Nick into un-grounding her for the evening so she could "go to a movie" with her long-time friend Ali. Sharon didn't go for it, but Nick persuaded her to give in.

Cassie ended up at the party to find Daniel drunk on beer trying to get over being separated from Lily. The party ended late, and everyone left. Cassie, who had not been drinking, assured her friends she had a way home, then found Daniel passed out in the back seat of his convertible. Deciding he was too drunk to get home, Cassie took his keys and started the car, even though she had neither a lesson nor learner's permit. She crashed the car. Because both were thrown from the car, and neither remembered a thing, no one realized that Cassie had been driving. As soon as a bruised Daniel was able to leave the hospital, he was arrested and spent the night in jail. His mother, Phyllis, bailed him out, beside herself with the thought that the son she had lost for so many years could be taken from her again and imprisoned.

Back in ICU after brain surgery, Cassie was fighting for her life. There was hope, so long as infection didn't set in. Suddenly, Cassie sat bolt upright -- she remembered -- she was driving! Daniel was in a lot trouble, but she caused the accident. After attempts to tell her mother to use the phone failed, she got out of bed, pulled out her IV, and donned her mother's trench coat, staggered out of the hospital, intent on finding and telling Daniel. After several hours of worry by her family and friends, and searching by the police and detective, Paul Williams, she somehow found her way to Crimson Lights. Lily and Daniel rushed to her as she was near collapse.

The exhausted Cassie attempted to tell Daniel the truth, but all she could get out was "crash." Someone called 9-1-1, Nick arrived shortly before the paramedics, and he accompanied her back to the hospital in the ambulance. Anxiously, her family held vigil while Cassie's fever heightened and Newman-financed specialists arrived too late to help. Victor, Nikki, Victoria, brother Noah, and Grandma Doris, who had arrived from her home in Eau Claire, sadly said their goodbyes and I love yous, and left her alone with Nick and Sharon. There was one last whisper in Nick's ear that it wasn't Daniel's fault, as he chokingly sang her a lullaby while Sharon hugged her. Viewers saw flashbacks of the adorable child Cassie -- the light of their (and viewers') lives -- and Cassie slipped away.

The memorial service was touching, with Grace, Millie, and Alice conspicuously absent. Larry was said to be out of town, and messages were left for him. Victor, Nikki, and Sharon gave memorial speeches. Noah placed Cassie's doll, Cindy, on her casket with a tear in his eye. During Nick's speech, which was more a threat against Daniel, he spotted Phyllis, who had snuck in the back, spoke right at her, then marched to her afterward and demanded she leave. Jack ushered her out in embarrassment.

Sharon handled her loss, mostly just feeling responsible for letting Cassie go out that night and regretful for all the things Cassie missed out on in her life. Meanwhile, Nick was angry, refused to accept any responsibility, and was out for revenge against Daniel. Nick took a leave of absence from Newman, putting Victor back in charge. Daniel was charged with vehicular manslaughter. Out on bail, he went into hiding in the Abbott playhouse with the help of Lily Winters.

When Daniel didn't show up for his arraignment, a warrant was issued for his arrest. Lily decided to drive Daniel out of town to help him escape. The day after the funeral, Larry showed up at Sharon's door with comforting words about how lucky they were to have Cassie in their lives, and reminded Sharon that he held Cassie responsible for changing his life. He took Sharon on an exhilarating motorcycle ride to help cheer her up.

Victoria accepted the position of acting CEO at Newman, and Nick took it amazingly well when he returned from tracking down Daniel Romalotti, the young man he held responsible for his daughter's death. He insisted on firing Phyllis, but after telling Nick off, she retorted, "You can't fire me. I quit." Although Brad Carlton had comforted Sharon in Nick's absence, Shaon was thrilled to welcome Nick home. Then Christine approached them and asked for the clothes Cassie was wearing the night of the car accident. Nick withheld the evidence. Nick was too caught up in rage and vengeance to worry about Newman Enterprises, his family, or the defendant's right to a fair trial. He was only intent on seeing Daniel pay.

Lily was out on bail, and Daniel went on trial for vehicular manslaughter, where Christine and Paul failed to prove that Cassie was driving the car. But in a last-minute save, Nick turned over the clothes Cassie was wearing that fateful night. The boot she was wearing matched a piece of a heel found under the accelerator. The judge determined that Cassie was driving and let Daniel go free. Lily's parents made a deal to send her away to boarding school in New Hampshire to get the D.A. to drop the charges against her.

While Nick was still angry over his daughter Cassie's death, Brad made plans with Sharon for her return to Newman working with him on the Beauty of Nature project. Nick and Sharon grew further apart while apparitions of Cassie haunted them both. When Nick decided to return to Newman, Victor made him and Victoria co-CEOs. Sharon grew closer to Brad and his daughter, Abby, and was named spokesperson for the "Touch of Nature" line. They had a close call with intimacy when in Denver on a business trip, but Sharon was dedicated to working on her marriage.

After his declaration of love for Sharon was rebuffed, Brad instead asked Victoria Newman to marry him and she accepted, although Brad and Ashley were not yet legally divorced. Meanwhile, Nick and Phyllis Summers became attracted to each other, and had an affair. Sharon found out and they were separated. Nick went to live at the Newman Executive Suite at the Genoa City Athletic Club. Unfortunately for Sharon, Brad went ahead and married Victoria.

Phyllis came up with an idea to create wellness spas under the Jabot umbrella. She asked Nikki to join her with her anti-aging product, and took it to Jack, who promptly shot it down as not feasible considering Jabot's instability. Phyllis and Jack had it out, and she quit her new job as Jabot Executive of Internet Affairs. So Nikki and Phyllis presented the idea to Victor instead, and he agreed to fund the project, joined the partnership, gave them an office in Newman Towers, and they called it NVP after Nikki, Victor, and Phyllis. Jack filed a lawsuit against them, which was the final split in his on-again/off-again relationship with Phyllis. Sharon signed on as spokesperson for NVP. Not long afterward, Victor became afflicted with temporal lobe epilepsy and was duped by Jack into selling him NVP, with a stipulation that Victor would have final say on all decisions, and Nikki was made CEO.

Meanwhile, Nick and Phyllis Summers became attracted to each other, and began a steamy affair. Sharon found out, and she and Nick separated. Sharon went to Brad for comfort, and they ended up having sex on a business trip to NYC. But after Daniel walked in to find his mother and Nick half-naked on the couch, the couple decided to call off their affair. After Nick had a vision where Cassie showed him how he imagined life would be had she not died, including a new baby girl named Faith, Nick showed up at home, and Sharon took him back. Nick and Phyllis continued to be thrown together by business, and they ended up stranded in New Mexico. They stopped at a Pepe's Roadhouse, danced, and had a great time. The attraction was great but they resisted and spent the night separately.

Then Phyllis turned up pregnant, and broke it to Nick that it might also be Jack's, so Nick took a paternity test. When he received the test results he disappeared to think about his options. He returned a few days later, and informed Phyllis that he was the father, but that he intended to stay with his family. Phyllis was disappointed, but insisted she could raise their child alone. Jack was disappointed, too, since he'd always hoped for a reconciliation with Phyllis. Jack began an affair with Carmen Mesta. Nick told Sharon the pregnancy news. She decided she didn't want Nick to stay out of obligation, ran out of the office screaming divorce, and ended up in the parking garage pounding the steering wheel of her SUV. Brad discovered her there, and his consoling turned to heavy making out. Sharon saw Nick watching them, but continued on with Brad.

Nick decided to tell Victoria that he caught her husband making out with Sharon, but Brad beat him to the punch and confessed that they'd shared a kiss -- but that his heart belonged to Victoria. Victoria seemed to accept that, but secretly consulted a lawyer about how to get Brad's Newman stock if the marriage should end. Nick and Sharon told Noah about the divorce, and Nick left to move into the Newman Executive Suite at the Genoa City Athletic Club, but turned up at Phyllis' door instead, and they made love. The next morning, Phyllis and Nick showed up at Newman together and told Victor and Nikki about the divorce and pregnancy. Nikki was appalled, but Victor congratulated them.

Victoria confronted Sharon about kissing Brad, then fired her from Newman. Sharon went running to Brad, who sent her on a mysterious errand to deliver a red tote bag to a car downtown for him. Brad's daughter, Colleen, confronted him with what she knew about his mysterious past, and accused him of kidnapping J.T. Brad explained his past to Colleen, then hustled her and Abby off to the private jet, where they met his mother, Rebecca, and were jetted to safety in Hawaii. Meanwhile Sharon arrived at Brad's to find the door ajar, and, being mistaken for Brad's wife, was kidnapped and held captive with J.T. in Cleveland.

Brad received a call from the kidnapper telling him they had Sharon. Victoria and Brad went back to Newman, and brought Nick and Paul in on the case. Nikki volunteered to take Noah away on a mini-vacation to see her sister, Casey, to keep him safe and oblivious to the fact that his mother was missing. Brad had to explain his past as George Kaplan to everyone, and also explained that the kidnappers wanted an artifact called the Grudgeon Reliquary. Then J.T. was dumped on Brad's doorstep as a warning. After they wasted days trying to track down the Reliquary on the Internet and through art dealers, Victoria decided to create a fake using two other similar Grudgeon pieces. They took the fake to Cleveland, and Nick met the kidnapper and his henchman for the exchange at a church.

Meanwhile, misled by the kidnappers, Brad, Paul, and J.T. were converging on the shipping crate where Sharon had been held-which was booby-trapped with explosives. They disarmed it in time, then arrived just in time to rescue Nick and Sharon as explosives attached to Sharon were about to detonate. Brad ended up fighting with the bad guys, and killed them both after the head guy admitted he was Oscar Volkmann, son of the commandant who was executed after Brad's mother's testimony. All arrived safely back in Genoa City and vowed, for everyone's safety, to never tell what went on.

Nick and Sharon divorced with joint custody of Noah, and Sharon received their house in the settlement. Nick and Phyllis moved into the Tack House on the Newman Ranch so Nick could be close to his son. Nick and Phyllis became engaged, and Nick threw Phyllis a fun engagement party, hoedown style, modeled after their "place "Pepe's" in New Mexico, which included a visit from Rocky the dancing cowboy from there and a ruby engagement ring. Sharon and Jack Abbott began having an affair. After an attempt to get married prior to the six-month waiting period was turned down by the judge, Nick and Phyllis eloped back to New Mexico at Pepe's, and returned to Genoa City married, and looking forward to the birth of their daughter.

Phyllis overheard Sharon and Brad discussing their New York City affair, and saw an opportunity for future use of the information. The controversial NVP spa project known as Clear Springs had everyone at Newman taking sides. Jack, Victor, Phyllis, and Nick felt a large development would revitalize a dying town, and Nikki, Brad, and Victoria were opposed because it would wipe out historic structures in the town. Nikki and Neil ran for the vacant Newman board seat to boost the votes for their side, and thanks to Phyllis' blackmail of Brad over his affair with Sharon, Victor's yes-man, Neil. won, so they appeared to have the upper hand on Clear Springs. But Brad got Phyllis arrested for extortion; she was found guilty, and later went to prison.

In April of 2007, Sharon told Drucilla that Phyllis was blackmailing Sharon over her affair with Brad Carlton. When Sharon and Phyllis began fighting on the edge of a cliff during an NVP photo shoot, Dru intervened. When all lost hold of the cell phone they were fighting over, they lost their balance and fell backward. Dru sailed off the cliff into the river below, and Sharon was left hanging onto the edge for her life. Phyllis tried to save her, but she lost her grip and also fell to the river below. Rescuers combed the area and found Sharon's lifeless body, but she was revived and lived. Dru was never found. Only the jacket she wore was found below the falls, so she was presumed dead.

A prayer vigil was held at Indigo, where family and friends shared memories. Olivia remembered what a precocious child Dru had been, and how she had showed her love for Liv when she donated needed bone marrow when Liv was once on her deathbed. Sharon remembered her brutal honesty and her one-of-a-kind hats. Devon recalled that before Dru came into his life, no one had ever believed in him, and how she forced him, through her love, to believe in himself. Lily said Dru was the kind of woman who did it all -- career and family, and was her role model. Neil believed Dru was still alive and was not going to give up looking for her; he called her loyal and passionate about life. For a while, Neil was turning back to the bottle in his despair over losing Dru, but his children seemed to have gotten through to him.

As part of a plot to bring down Jack, Victor convinced Jack to run for the Wisconsin State Senate. Nikki was in on it, but in her anger at being passed over as a board member of Newman in favor of Neil, she decided to run against Jack. Victor was livid and reminded Nikki where she came from and where she would be if not for him. Meanwhile, Jack continued to be visited by his conscience in the form of his dead father, John, and appeared to be having second thoughts about the things he had done to control Victor during Victor's epilepsy when he was vulnerable. Jack's campaign manager, David Chow, pulled a dirty trick by exposing Nikki's porn film, Hot Hips, on the Internet to discredit her, so Jack fired him. Then Nikki hired him to pull the same sort of tricks on Jack. In what appeared to be a political move at the time, Jack and Sharon were married at the ranch, with Noah as best man.

Victor and Sharon were scheduled to fly to Clear Springs, then Jack was going in Victor's place, but had to cancel. So Sharon and Nick ended taking the trip instead. On the return trip, the Newman jet went down in Lake Michigan with no survivors. Sharon surprised everyone when she walked in on the Newmans and Jack just after they'd gotten the news. She was just as shocked to hear that her taking another flight had saved her life, and that Nick was missing and presumed dead. It was later suggested that the jet might have been sabotaged. Noah and Nikki were devastated, but Nikki carried on with her state senatorial campaign, with the help of her campaign manager, David Chow.

Victor abandoned his family in their grief after Hope called. He took off for Sri Lanka to search for their missing son, Victor, Jr. While Victor was away, David fell for Nikki, tPhyllis and Sharon caught them kissing, and there were exposed on videotape. Gloria got Kevin to monitor the security cameras at Jabot, which proved that Jack owned Jabot. So Jack quickly sold Jabot at a loss to Katherine Chancellor. In the end, Jack won the election and became State Senator, but later left in disgrace when his former stepmother, Gloria, exposed him for falsifying his father's will that cut her out.

Nick turned up lost in the woods, found by internist, Logan Anderson, and was taken back to Genoa City and his family. But Nick lost his memory of the previous two years of his life, including his marriage to Phyllis and their baby, Summer. Remembering only his love for Sharon, Nick tried to win her back, even though she was married to Jack, but Sharon, though tempted, wasn't interested. Nick began seeing Phyllis, curious as to why he ever hooked up with this person he remembered not even liking very much. When Noah started acting out for Sharon, Nick agreed to move back in with Phyllis so Noah could live with them. Nick did not regain his memory, but it didn't take long for him to fall in love with Phyllis all over again. Then Phyllis was tried, found guilty of extortion, and sent to prison. But Michael got her off after serving only a few months.

One day everyone in Genoa City seemed to be at Clear Springs when its underground parking structure and casino collapsed, trapping several of them inside. Sharon, Jack, and Nick were there to scout for a photo shoot. Nick was knocked out, and Jack pinned by debris, but Nick awoke and got Jack free. Sharon's leg was sprained, but they managed to find an opening in the rubble. Jack levered it open so that Nick and Sharon could escape, leaving him there still trapped. While waiting for rescue, Jack wrote a note to Sharon, confessing how much he loved her.

Meanwhile, Amber crawled out of her crushed car and made her way to an elevator, where she found Kay bruised and dirty inside, where she had been left while her grandson, Cane, and J.T. crawled up the shaft for help. Also trapped were Adrian Korbel with a very pregnant Victoria, and Lauren and Noah, who were trapped with Paul. Nikki and others stood vigil on the outside, waiting while rescuers cleared rubble and tried to get to the victims. Phyllis, still in prison, heard about it on television, got no answer on Nick's cell phone, and got the news when she called Victor.

Sharon and Nick walked out of the rubble, asking rescuers to go back for Jack. The rescuers said it was too dangerous, that methane was escaping and about to blow up, so Victor, acting as a hero, went in and rescued his worst enemy. Cane and J.T. made it out, but Cane fooled them into believing he'd had rescue training in Australia, and went back to rescue Kay and Amber. Sharon and Nick were relieved when Noah emerged on a stretcher. Noah later had his spleen removed as a result of his injuries. Then the dead body of the construction foreman was removed. The reason Cane and Kay were there was to investigate him for shoddy work and kickbacks. Finally, Korbel and Victoria emerged, just as the methane blast occurred. Victoria was hit on the head with a rock and knocked out. She rolled down the pile of debris.

Still pregnant, Victoria spent months in a coma while her family and fiancé, J.T., held vigil at her bedside. They finally had to decide if the baby should be delivered prematurely to save Victoria. J.T. and Victor chose to deliver, but Nikki insisted that Victoria would rather her baby live, so it went to court. They ended up waiting a couple more weeks until the baby had a better chance, then a baby boy, Reed, was delivered. A DNA test was run and J.T. was pronounced the father.

Reed thrived in the hospital while Victoria, still comatose, was taken back to the ranch. Nikki and Victor were separated, so Victor lived in the ranch house while Nikki took residence in Sharon's cottage with David Chow forever there in Victor's face. Not long after J.T. took Reed home, Victoria woke up. Victoria and J.T. were married, and they moved back to the loft apartment with Reed. Victor made his new son-in-law, J.T., head of Newman security, and Victoria went back to work.

The investigation into the Clear Springs disaster disclosed the cause was Victor Newman's mining the methane underneath it. It didn't take long for Victor to alienate everyone around him, including Nikki. Victor called in her loans for NVP, fired and bankrupted her, and gained full control of NVP. He also fired Nick as co-CEO of Newman and replaced him with Neil.

After Jack lost his senate seat and Nick was fired from Newman, they got together and decided to start a new Internet and print magazine. They asked Phyllis to join them, and Sharon requested to work with them later. They named it Restless Style. Nick bought a dilapidated warehouse, which was rapidly turning into a money pit. He was financing it and his share of the venture on money borrowed from his trust fund, which he could not receive until he turned 40. They hired Daniel as a photographer assistant and general go-for, and Amber begged to be hired as receptionist. Victor labeled it foolhardy, and was sure it would fail.

Due to Jack's falsifying his father's will, the judge reversed his decision on Gloria's inheritance from John, and she was awarded half of Abbott Manor. Since Gloria and Jeffrey moved in, and Jack and Sharon refused to move out, they were time-sharing by area. Meanwhile, Jeff claimed he'd actually fallen for Gloria, and continued to blackmail her to force her to become his wife in every way. So Kevin and Gloria cooked up a plot to make it look like Jeff was slowly poisoning her to inherit, but Jeff one-upped her again, substituting something else for the poison, which she was taking daily. Both couples were doing everything they could to make the other leave.

Gloria redecorated in outlandish style, and Sharon and Jack, with Jeff's help, hired an actor, Alistair Wallingford, to play John's ghost to scare Gloria into selling her share of the mansion and leaving. Gloria figured it out and threatened lawsuit, but Jack, influenced by his conscience in the form of his dead father, John, gave up and gave her the house, and he and Sharon moved out. Then Gloria, influenced by Jana and her beliefs in karma, decided to turn her life around and gave the mansion back to Jack.

Gloria and Jeff began to realize they were actually attracted to each other, even after all their feuding and blackmailing. They had one hot night together, but misunderstandings and refusal to admit they cared led to Jeffrey filing for divorce and asking for half her net worth as a settlement. Meanwhile Gloria was still trying to offset her karma and had made legal arrangements to donate half her assets to charity. So when Jeff won the divorce settlement, Gloria would be left penniless. But, thanks to the influence of his conscience in the form of his dead father, Jack relented and let her move into the Abbott pool house.

As Victor predicted, the first edition of his son Nick's Restless Style magazine/webzine did not do as well as expected, so the second had a hipper cover, featuring hot singer, Katy Perry. Then Adrian Korbel was hired to do an article on Sabrina and the Newman Gallery for the third issue, which Sabrina and Victor approved. Victoria stepped up as a last-minute replacement for the cover, which was done in a Hollywood retro style.

Though Adrian stumbled upon a rumor that Sabrina had wrangled an exhibition for her lover, Phillipe, when she was Art Curator at the Pompidou Museum in Paris, which could shed new light on the latest Mrs. Victor Newman, he decided not to make a big deal about it. But Jack did some further research and turned Adrian's article into a scandalous one that upset everyone, but the magazines sold into a fourth printing. Jack had sent Adrian off to Australia to do another article, so Adrian was furious when he returned and found out what Jack had done to his article. Assuming Nick was in on the scandalous article, and for Victoria's turning against Sabrina for marrying her father, Victor cut them both out of his will as he added Adam and Sabrina.

Jack's success-by-any-means business style with Sharon's undying support was making it impossible for the two couples to co-exist at Restless Style, so they let a coin flip decide who would buy out the other. Jack and Sharon won, giving Nick and Phyllis a price to buy them out or take the same price to leave. Knowing Nick didn't have the funds, Sharon visited Victor and asked him to give Nick his job back at Newman. But Victor surprised them all by giving Nick a line of credit for the buyout instead. Knowing they needed someone with contacts in fashion, and with Nikki out of a job and full of great ideas, they took her on as interim Editor in Chief. Nikki got Ruby Aldridge for the cover of their first magazine on their own, and Phyllis was in charge of the farewell Letter from the Editor. She avoided the urge to trash them and wrote something nice. But after Nick spent a little too much time with Sharon resolving a problem with Noah, she changed it back to trash. But after a little loving, Nick forgave her, of course. However, neither Phyllis nor Jack was pleased when Nick's first act as advisor to Newman was to rehire Sharon as their Beauty of Nature spokesperson.

In June 2008, Noah went away to summer camp at age ten, and returned in August fifteen years old and getting into trouble with his buddies who were into drinking beer and partying. He convinced his parents to let him attend Genoa City High School instead of Walnut Grove. When Noah tried to befriend newcomer Eden, who was Michael Baldwin's half-sister, she rebuffed him and called him a loser. One night, both were invited to a party in a warehouse. When Noah arrived, he realized he had been tricked into convincing his parents it was chaperoned with no drinking, then Eden stole his cell phone when he tried to leave. Because Noah was out past curfew, Nick and Sharon burst in on the party and took Noah home just as the police were showing up and Eden was sneaking away.

Noah later took an interest in Eden, and persuaded her to go on a French class trip to France. Sharon arranged to meet Noah in Paris at the end of the class trip so they could spend some time together there. Nick happened to arrive in Paris too to help find his missing father, and ran into Sharon, so he showed her around Paris. The class trip went well and Noah was enjoying Paris, but Eden was bored and wanted to see the real Paris where her mother grew up.

Eden and Noah went to the Père Lachaise Cemetery where Jim Morrison was buried. Eden opened up to Noah about her life on the run without a mother, and they ended up in an embrace. But some young thugs interrupted them and stole the necklace Eden's mother had left her, and they roughed up Noah. Eden got away and called the police. The thugs got away, but dropped the necklace, which Noah retrieved, and Noah and Eden were taken to the police station until Sharon was located and picked them up. Noah and Eden were becoming close and kissing when they could get away with it, since they were forbidden to see each other because of the trouble they got into in Paris.

Phyllis arrived in Paris later to surprise Nick after putting the latest issue of Restless Style to bed, but he was off with Sharon. So Phyllis supervised a Paris photo-shoot for the magazine, then went sightseeing -- one of the sights being Nick and Sharon kissing on a bridge. They had gotten caught up in the moment, and that was as far as it went. Phyllis took the next flight home and did not mention to Nick that she was even there. After witnessing the kiss in Paris, convinced that Jack and Phyllis' marriage was on the skids, Phyllis did all she could to keep Sharon from falling back together with Nick.

Phyllis approached Brad to let him know the field was open for him again, and if he needed any help, she was willing. Brad found Sharon at the Genoa City Athletic Club bar, and worked on getting her back himself. Phyllis then arranged for Sharon to find out some more of Jack's lies, causing a further split between them. Phyllis was forced to admit she'd been in Paris when the Paris photo-shoot came out in print, and she told Nick what she saw there. Nick apologized and assured Phyllis that it was just a moment between him and Sharon, and that Phyllis was still the only woman for him.

Jack and Sharon were having marital problems, the same ones that broke up Jack and Phyllis, as Jack was always more interested in "getting Victor" than in his wives. Sharon had caught him in so many lies that he was on his final chance at saving their marriage before the truth about the diary came out. That was the last straw, and she and Noah moved out of his home and into the Genoa City Athletic Club. Nick and Phyllis celebrated New Year's Eve 2008 there, and, seeing Sharon alone, Phyllis called Brad to go be with her. Jack saw them going into her room together, and went home to bed alone, his world fallen apart thanks to his own lies. Jack was served with divorce papers.

In late January of 2009, Sharon went up to the Abbott lake house to be alone and think about what to do with her life after divorce papers were served on Jack. Brad showed up and declared his love, but Sharon sent him away. On the drive home, Brad had car trouble, got out, and heard the screams of Noah Newman who had gone skating with Eden and fallen through the ice. Brad died a hero after he pulled Noah from the hole in the ice, when he fell through himself and drowned.

Colleen and J.T. found Brad's car about the same time that Noah remembered and told Victoria that it was Brad who rescued him. J.T. and Colleen heard a boy playing on the ice scream as he discovered Brad's body showing through the ice. J.T. checked out the situation and had to deliver the bad news to Colleen. Colleen and Abby were both devastated by the news, and Victoria and Ashley commiserated over the loss of their former husband.

Meanwhile Nick made it through the snowstorm to the Abbott cabin at Twin Lakes to let Sharon know what had happened to Noah. Just as Phyllis had suspected when she begged him not to go, Nick and Sharon ended up stranded there together, reminiscences got the best of them, and they made love in front of the fireplace.

A Jewish service was held with the immediate family, his daughters Colleen and Abby, and his ex-wives Traci, Victoria, and Ashley. Brad's mother was unable to attend, and former lover, Nikki, was out of town. Sharon visited the grave alone, told Brad she always loved him, and thanked him for saving Noah's life. In the Jewish tradition, a headstone was not laid until a week later.

Nick admitted it when Phyllis guessed about his night with Sharon. He thought about his options for a few days, but decided that Sharon was his past, and Phyllis was his future. Days later when Nick apparently didn't remember or care, Sharon decided to celebrate their wedding anniversary getting drunk on shots at a bar. Billy Abbott was there, also drunk, so the two of them hooked up and spent the night together in her hotel room. Sharon began to experience blackouts where she picked up random objects from other people's houses, then later wondered where they came from. After checking out at the bookstore, Sharon added books not paid for to her bag. Eden arrived with Noah, Noah left with Sharon, leaving the bag of books on the counter. Eden grabbed them to take to Sharon,. Eden was caught by the security system and detained for shoplifting, then the police were called.

Meanwhile Sharon visited her mom in the hospital, and Doris recognized the same behaviors Sharon had as a teen over the guilt she felt when Doris became paralyzed. She asked Sharon if she wasn't feeling similar guilt over Brad's death, but Sharon denied it. Back at the bookstore, after Lauren and Michael had no success getting the owner to reconsider pressing charges, Eden was arrested, and later given into Michael's custody at Juvenile Detention. When Sharon found out what happened, she had no recollection that she was involved, and attacked Nick for trying to help calm her panic. Sharon was continuing her affair with Billy Abbott to try to ease the pain of her guilt, while Billy was supposed to be playing the doting father and living with Chloe and their daughter, Cordelia, to help her maintain custody.

After Chloe realized Billy was with another woman when she needed him, she moved back into the Chancellor estate with her mother. Phyllis caught Sharon and Billy together and threatened to tell Jack and Nick about their affair. Sharon broke down, phoned Billy, and called things off. Jack arrived and she fell into his arms, ashamed and troubled. Jack asked her to return to him, and said he would forgive her anything. Sharon asked him to just keep her safe from the rest of the world, and Jack promised he would. They made love and Sharon moved back in with Jack. Meanwhile, Billy showed up with flowers for Chloe and smooth-talked her into giving him another chance. Nick and Noah were both perplexed with her flakiness when, only days later, Sharon inexplicably decided to move back to the club.

Eden and Noah took off together for the Abbott cabin at Twin Lakes to be alone and have sex for the first time, but they reconsidered and had left by the time both Sharon and Nick got there to stop them. Once again, Sharon and Nick fell back into the old attraction and had sex there themselves. Nick admitted to Phyllis what had happened, and suggested they separate until he could decide whom he really wanted. They arrived at home to find Eden and Noah having sex on their couch. Nick spent the night at Victoria's, and Phyllis went crazy in Sharon's hotel room, screaming and cutting up Sharon's clothes.

Phyllis discovered Sharon's stash of stolen items, and notified the police. When Sharon arrived back at her room, she was arrested for theft. Jack bailed her out, Nick accused Phyllis of setting her up, and Victor decided it was time Noah went to live with him. Nick and Phyllis split up for a time from the fallout, then just as they got back together in time for their anniversary, Phyllis was caught on hotel videotape and arrested for trashing Sharon's room. Sharon had a confession written up ready to give to Assistant D.A. Heather, but thanks to Phyllis' plea for Noah's sake, Lauren dropped shoplifting charges against Sharon, so Sharon dropped charges against Phyllis.

Sharon told Doris that she was pregnant and there were three possible fathers. Later, Cassie appeared to Sharon in a dream saying the baby girl she foresaw on her deathbed was Summer. Sharon tried to tell Nick that she was pregnant, but was interrupted, then told Jack, who confided in Billy, not realizing that Billy was the third potential father. Jack told Sharon he wanted her back and the baby, whoever the father was, so they reconciled. Jack had to dump Mary Jane, but she was conniving to get him back by getting Sharon involved with Nick again.

Memorial Day 2009, the anniversary of Cassie's death, found Sharon and Nick still grieving, and Nick finally feeling remorse for not being there for her back then. Sharon tried to avoid Nick, but they ended up running into each other at Cassie's grave, where emotions ran high. Nick referred to Cassie's prophecy of another baby girl, causing Sharon to admit that she was pregnant and it might be his, which Phyllis overheard. Phyllis lambasted Jack for letting that happen, and, because she overheard Sharon say that Jack knew everything and he forgave her, she asked Jack how he could forgive Billy for being the third possibility. Jack was shocked and later attacked Billy for it. Sharon admitted to Jack that Billy might be the father of her baby, while Nick admitted to Phyllis that Sharon was pregnant and it might be his. Jack was understanding and loving, even though it ruined his relationship with his brother, and he still wanted Sharon and the baby, no matter whose baby it was.

Phyllis reacted calm and accepting, and gave Nick an ultimatum to choose between her and Sharon. Sharon made an appointment for a paternity test. Nick remembered the wonderful parts of his life with Phyllis, comparing them with memories with Sharon. Sharon walked in and they kissed passionately, with Nick saying he was leaving Phyllis, wanting to be with Sharon. But Sharon turned him down, saying she and Jack were back together and raising the child, and could not break up their family. Despite that, Nick went home and told Phyllis that it was over.

Later, at the Athletic Club, Nick emerged from his room, caught Sharon going down the hall, convinced her that they were meant to be, and they again made love. Meanwhile, Phyllis was pouring her heart out to Jack, and they ended up making love, as well, with Mary Jane scowling through the window. But after Jack left Phyllis' home, he went to Mary Jane and they made love, too. Because Nick and Sharon seem to be getting back together, Mary Jane appeared to be working on getting Phyllis out of Jack's life so she could have Jack to herself. Nick told Phyllis to go ahead and file for divorce, that he would not fight her on anything, and Phyllis replied, "You want it so bad, get it yourself!" After Nick left, Phyllis told Summer that her daddy was not going to be living with them anymore.

Sharon and Nick went house hunting and found the perfect home on Rampart Lane. Sharon got the paternity test results back and was ecstatic that she and Nick were expecting Faith, the daughter that Cassie predicted on her deathbed and in Nick's dream. But after seeing Nick so distraught over his daughter Summer being in a coma, Sharon realized that he needed to be there for Summer and Phyllis, and not run off with someone else like he did over Cassie, so she told everyone her baby was Jack's. Summer’s obsession with watching the video of their wedding made Nick realize how much he really loved Phyllis and wanted to stay together, even marry her all over again. Meanwhile Sharon admitted to Jack that Nick was really the father of her unborn baby, and Jack refused to forgive her for lying to him. Sharon watched from the bushes as Nick and Phyllis renewed their vows. Later Sharon walked out of the Jewelers in a daze with a duplicate of Phyllis's new wedding ring, was arrested. and institutionalized for 30 days for mental observation. Her mother Doris visited her and questioned why Jack, the father of her baby, had not been by to see her, causing Sharon to admit that Nick was the real father. Later as Doris left, Sharon opened her door and cautioned Doris not to tell anyone, but Nick was outside and overheard. After Doris was out of sight, he returned, confronted Sharon with the truth, and she admitted it. Nick told Sharon he cannot walk away from his child.

Ashley was convinced by Jack to check in to the same mental hospital where Sharon was. Adam followed with Dr. Taylor in tow. It wasn't long afterward that Sharon went into labor, and with no obstetrician on-staff, Dr. Taylor was enlisted to deliver her baby. Ashley went into "labor" for her hysterical pregnancy, and begged Adam to deliver her baby in her room. He gave her a drug that knocked her out. Meanwhile Dr. Taylor delivered Sharon's baby girl. Adam snatched her out of his arms, and when Ashley woke, Adam handed her Sharon's baby as her own. Dr. Taylor was forced to deliver the news to Sharon that her baby had died.
