However, he saw Sharon embracing her new partner and chose to discard the evidence.

Adam even testified against her in court, claiming she’d abandoned her children.

Despite Sharon being found guilty, Phyllis eventually uncovered evidence that proved her innocence.

Victor (Eric Braeden) married Sharon to use her to control his company while he was in prison.

In response, Adam and Chelsea Lawson (Melissa Claire) eloped.

Sharon and Adam’s relationship led to his divorce from Chelsea, who ended up with Dylan McAvoy.

Finally, the stars had aligned for Sharon and Adam’s relationship.

Yet, Adam told Sharon that he only wanted a sexual relationship.

Sharon warned him that he’d regret it and walked out, officially ending their torrid relationship.
