Everyone has been worried about Sharon’s erratic behavior on The Young & The Restless, and finally, something is being done about it! Mariah was already concerned about her mother but after comparing notes with Nick, she realizes that none of them have the full story.

“I think that’s the first sign that everybody’s getting piecemeal information from Sharon, that she’s not fully being honest,” Camryn Grimes (Mariah) explained to Soap Opera Digest. “She’s not getting the whole truth. I don’t think that Mariah understands Sharon to have the capacity to be dishonest. Everything is sort of, up until this point, taken at face value. I think it’s a big shock that [her lying to Mariah] could even be a reality.”

Sharon may have been able to cover and dismiss everyone’s concern for her for a while, but as she has continued to spiral out of control, that’s not really possible anymore. Sharon has insisted that she’s adjusted her bipolar medication and has been taking her pills, but now Mariah isn’t so sure.

“I think the fear is that Nick is right, that he’s on the money, and that she’s not taking her meds,” Grimes admitted. “This uncovers a greater depth to Mariah’s conversations with Sharon, and how capable of being dishonest is Sharon? And I think that’s a question that Mariah hasn’t really had to deal with before.”

But Mariah is determined to do whatever she can to help her mother… whether she likes it or not! “Ultimately, this is about her mom’s health and mental well-being,” Grimes declared. “And I don’t think that’s something that Mariah would mess with just so Sharon could save face. Her main goal and her love for her mother goes far beyond that.”

Stay tuned to Y&R to see how this dramatic storyline continues to unfold!
