Sharon and Chelsea are now next-door neighbors on The Young and the Restless, which gives them another chance to become good friends. After all, Chelsea lived above Sharon’s coffee house for a while, so they saw quite a bit of each other. The show has plenty of opportunities to explore a relationship with these core characters.
Howdy, Neighbor
On the Monday, February 10 episode of Y&R, Sharon (Sharon Case) welcomed Adam (Mark Grossman) and Chelsea (Melissa Claire Egan) to the neighborhood. They live right around the corner from her cozy cabin. She suggested that she would be over more often. However, this is awkward for Adam and Chelsea.
Sharon has been through a difficult year and a half. She struggled with her bipolar disorder. Jordan (Colleen Zenk) and Ian (Ray Wise) tormented her by messing with her medication. They staged Heather’s (Vail Bloom) murder to make it look like Sharon killed her. Then, they chained her up in the sewer. Thankfully, Sharon rescued herself and is healing. She’s looking forward to having a quiet and boring life.
Blossoming Friendship?
We all know that Sharon needs a lighter storyline these days. This would be the perfect chance for her to strike up a friendship with Chelsea. They may have feuded in the past. However, the two ladies have more in common than they may think. Not only have they dated the same men, but they also struggle with mental health issues.
We would love for the show to explore this relationship. It’s lacking female friendships these days. The only ones we’ve seen are Audra’s (Zuleyka Silver) friendship with Sally (Courtney Hope) and Lauren’s (Tracey Bergman) friendship with Traci (Beth Maitland). Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) doesn’t have any gal pals to turn to since Amanda (Misheal Morgan) isn’t around much. She’s on the outs with Lauren—at least at the moment.
Hopefully, Sharon and Chelsea will borrow sugar from each other sometime soon. We would love to see it. This could give them the opportunity to share their differences and similarities. It would be a much-needed plot for these characters. What are your thoughts? Let us know in the comment section below.
