PATIENT ID: SHARON NEWMAN

CASE FILE: In 2009, a pregnant Sharon was arrested for shoplifting and was ordered by the court to spend September in Fairview. While there, she delivered a baby girl, Faith, but was told the child didn’t survive (in truth, Adam had given her to Ashley). The news sent Sharon spiraling into a nearcatatonic state and she was moved to St. Mary’s Children’s Hospital to recuperate. In 2015, Sharon miscarried Dylan’s baby and became very upset when she thought she subsequently became pregnant again but was told she was not expecting. On the advice of her therapist, Dr. Sandy Anderson, she voluntarily checked herself into Fairview that September. Out for revenge against Nick (who she blamed for the near-fatal accident she’d suffered as a teen), Dr. Anderson kept Sharon drugged for months and brainwashed her into believing she was pregnant, then arranged for Nick and Sage’s newborn son to be abducted from the hospital and given to Sharon a few days before Thanksgiving. Against the doc’s advice, Sharon went home with “her” baby on December 1, but eventually was forced to relinquish Sully, now known as Christian, to Nick in November 2016.
