Matt Clark’s return has shaken up The Young and the Restless. Sharon was the one who first came face-to-face with the man who terrorized her. However, fans claim that Matt’s return is somehow connected to Nick.
Key Takeaways
- Sharon has faced many demons in recent years.
- She recently ran into Matt Clark at The Shadow Room.
- Y&R fans wonder whether Matt wants to get revenge on Nick.
Why is Matt Clark Returning?
Matt Clark (Roger Howarth) has a new identity. He goes by the name Mitch Bacall. When Sharon (Sharon Case) ran into him, he acted like he didn’t know what she was talking about.
But then he came face-to-face with Nick (Joshua Morrow) on the Wednesday, November 5 episode. Their confrontation ended with a punch in the kisser. Meanwhile, Y&R fans have to wonder why Matt Clark is back from the dead after 24 years.
Does he still have a bone to pick with Nick Newman? Over on one soap opera message board, the original poster claimed, “I think the return of Matt Clark is more about Nick than it is about Sharon…”
Sharon has already dealt with other villainous obstacles in recent years. Martin Laurent (Christopher Cousins) held Sharon and Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) hostage in an abandoned mental health facility. She also thought she was being tormented by Cameron (Linden Ashby).
However, it turned out that he was a hallucination exacerbated by her mental health struggles. Jordan (Colleen Zenk), Ian Ward (Ray Wise), covertly drugged her, manipulated her, and made her do things she wouldn’t normally do.
Vendetta Against Nick
Most Y&R fans agree that Matt wants to get revenge on Nick. Now, he’s using his son, Noah (Lucas Adams), for some unknown reason.
“Yes, Matt hated Nick. It is Nick that he is going after. Sharon is just a package deal since Matt went after Nick and Sharon’s son,” one person wrote.
“This is Nick’s story, not Sharon’s.. IMO people have it wrong in thinking he has come back about Sharon, he has always hated Nick much more than he ever cared about Sharon, that’s what drove him to such extremes back in the day…” someone else commented.
“I would prefer that this story be more about Nick. I don’t want to see Sharon tormented anymore. She already has enough to deal with now with her son being horribly injured, and with Mariah in the state she is in,” a third person agreed.
Fans have been over Sharon being constantly in distress on the soap. They’ve been wanting a different storyline for her. And if this storyline is focused on Nick, then all the better.
