Nick and Sharon on Y&R started as teenage first love and somehow became one of The Young and the Restless’ most enduring couples. Sharon Collins and Nick Newman fell in love in 1994, and more than 30 years later, Shick Y&R still has one of the deepest histories on the show.
This Nick and Sharon Young and the Restless timeline goes back to the beginning, including Nikki Newman’s opposition to Sharon, Matt Clark, Sharon’s secret daughter Cassie, and the 1996 Nick and Sharon wedding Y&R fans still remember.
From there, the Nick and Sharon love story grew into a family, and the Nick and Sharon children—Cassie, Noah, and Faith—became a huge part of the Shick story. Along the way came affairs, villains, breakups, grief, Phyllis Summers, Adam Newman, and more than one attempt to bring Shick back together.
Why did Nick and Sharon divorce? How many times did Nick and Sharon almost get married again? What happened between Nick, Sharon, and Phyllis? And why do Nick and Sharon always seem to find their way back into each other’s lives?
This Shick Young and the Restless recap looks back at the Nick and Sharon relationship from their 1994 beginning through the weddings, reunions, family drama, and major turning points that made them one of Y&R’s most memorable couples.
