When a young adult Nick Newman was first introduced to "The Young and the Restless," he had just returned from a European boarding school when he started dating Amy Wilson (Julianne Morris), but when she introduced him to her best friend, Sharon Collins, all bets were off. Sharon was dating Matt Clark (Eddie Cibrian) at the time, but only had eyes for Nick. After a series of trials and tribulations, Sharon and Nick got married, and he accepted the fact that she had given up a baby at age 16 before she moved to Genoa City (via Soap Opera Network). After Sharon prematurely gave birth to their son, Noah, they thought the baby would die, so Sharon's former BFF, Grace Turner (Jennifer Gareis), tracked down Sharon's child, a little girl named Cassie (Camryn Grimes), who was living with her adopted grandmother at the time.
Sharon and Nick settled into married life, raising Cassie and Noah together after they became her legal parents. Although Nick had an affair with Grace at one time, he and Sharon reunited and stayed married until tragedy struck. A teenage Cassie was killed in a car accident when she drove without a license with a drunk friend, Daniel Romalotti (Michael Graziadie). The grief over losing their daughter soon tore Sharon and Nick apart.
