Nicholas & Sharon - Trust Issues by
Christopher
Few relationships have been as troubled and tumultuous as
that of Nicholas
and Sharon Newman. They met when Nick was working toward
his Business
Degree at GCU and Sharon was the girl on the wrong side of
the tracks. They
battled his Mother, Nikki, who was vehemently opposed to
their relationship.
They broke up briefly when Sharon told him she was a
virgin and didn't
want to have sex yet. Nick sought comfort with Amy Wilson,
Sharon's best
friend, while Sharon dated Matt Clark. When the couple
reunited, Sharon did
not tell Nick that Matt had raped her. But Matt, furious
Sharon had chosen
him, sent Nick a letter informing him she was a liar who
not only slept
around, but had once given up a child for adoption in
Madison. Sharon
admitted everything, but Nick forgave her. On the night of
their wedding,
she admitted the rape and Nick went after Matt, only to
find him shot. He
was arrested for the crime, until Amy was proven to be the
shooter. Nick
and Sharon finally wed.
However, it was a troubled marriage from the get-go, as
Sharon schemed to
get herself pregnant against Nick's wishes. When she
succeeded, he relented
and decided he wanted a child. However, after an argument
with Nikki,
Sharon fell in the snow and nearly lost the child. Her
best friend, Grace,
believing the baby had died, left town to find Sharon's
daughter given up
years before. When Sharon and Cassie were reunited, Nick
and Sharon had to
decide whether or not to get custody of the girl. Then
Nick got drunk one
night and accidentally slept with Grace (who wanted it).
Sharon was
devastated and ended their marriage. But in court, as she
fought for
Cassie, Nick's testimony won her the case and a grateful
Sharon agreed to
work on their relationship. Next, Matt Clark returned,
with a new face and
identity, to work for Nick and Sharon at their
coffee-shop. He set Nick up
to look like a drug dealer and nearly raped Sharon. But
Tricia McNeil - his
crazy cohort - cracked under pressure and the plan failed.
The Newman
couple was reunited again. When Sharon wound up pregnant,
and Nick feared
the baby might be Matt's, he ordered an abortion. During
an argument,
Sharon fell and lost the baby. She openly blamed Nick and
their
relationship disintegrated again. When Grace visited town
to offer Nick a
shoulder, Sharon believed they slept together. In
retaliation, she slept
with Diego Guittierez. She and Nick reconciled, but when
Sharon revealed
the truth, he said he wanted nothing to do with her.
Distraught, she turned
to Victor, Nick's Dad. On the night Nick was ready to
forgive her, he
witnessed her and his Father kissing. Enraged, he ended
their relationship
and Sharon left town disgraced.
While Sharon was away, daughter Cassie nearly died in a
frozen pond and was
in a coma for quite some time. Sharon worked overtime to
make amends for
abandoning her family, and eventually won back Nick's love
and trust. Then
Cameron Kirsten arrived in town to work with Nick. Sharon
was horrified...
she'd slept with him while she was away and he beat her.
Cameron demanded
another night together, so Sharon bashed him over the
head, believed he was
dead, and tried to get rid of the body. In time, she
confessed all to Nick,
as they realized Cameron and Grace (still bitter) had
worked together to
destroy Sharon's world. Though Nick promised to get them
through this, he
was reluctant to say if they'd be together when the dust
settled. How many
times can trust be broken, then rebuilt, before it's gone
forever? Back to the Main Y&R History
