It will always be Sharon Rosales. She is the person Nick Newman will put on a pedestal and run to their rescue as the perfect white knight, and it's undeniable. The writers at "The Young and the Restless" have a lot at stake with the ongoing strike potentially impacting future shows. Nick and Sharon are a documented success story, and pairing them together again will go far in avoiding a steep rating decline.
Also, Sharon hasn't done anything in what feels like years. Cameron Kirsten returning to stalk and terrorize her life is the first story Sharon Case has been given to sink her teeth into since the death of Rey Rosales. Rey's death on "The Young and the Restless" gave Sharon a few emotional moments to display her stellar acting prowess, but after that, it was largely ignored. Sharon's been relegated to doing nothing but serving coffee and being a sounding board for the problems that the citizens of Genoa City face. She's been on the show for decades and deserves more than to become a back-burner character that doesn't have solid material written for her.
With Faith being kidnapped and the threat of losing another one of their children hanging in the air, emotions will be running high, and the chances of a heat-of-the-moment kiss are high. Don't be afraid to return to the well for this one. In some instances, it's best to give in to nostalgia.
