The Young and the Restless (Y&R) spoilers reveal that Sharon Newman’s (Sharon Case)

faceoff with Heather Stevens (Vail Bloom) ended in tragedy when Sharon awoke

to find a corpse in front of her. Heather had somehow suffered a severe blow to

the back of the head – one that she ultimately couldn’t survive.
Back in August, CDL offered a prediction on Heather’s grim fate.

We said Heather was the perfect character to kill off as part of Sharon’s downward spiral – and now Heather has indeed faced a grisly outcome.

Of course, it’s possible Y&R could bring Heather back to life through some soapy curveball, but all signs point to her being truly deceased.

However, the show hasn’t confirmed Heather’s fate or Vail Bloom’s exit so far.

As for the reason why, it could involve a twist that keeps Heather alive – at least in a way!

Heather may be deceased, but she can still keep appearing like “Cameron Kirsten” (Linden Ashby) in Sharon’s mind.

There’s a good chance Y&R hasn’t confirmed Bloom’s departure because she’s not finished yet.

It looks like Bloom has more material coming up, so Heather may “haunt” Sharon as the guilt takes a toll.

It’s easy to imagine Sharon struggling to stay in control of her emotions with “Cameron” whispering in one ear and “Heather” warning her in the other.

“Heather” may urge Sharon not to go through with eliminating Daniel Romalotti Jr. (Michael Graziadei) like “Cameron” wants.

Perhaps “Heather” will insist it’s cruel to make Lucy Romalotti (Lily Brooks O’Briant) an orphan over Sharon’s warped vendetta.

“Heather” might also argue that Sharon is going to get caught and taunt her about it just being a matter of time until the cops come for her.

Maybe “Heather” will help drive Sharon over the edge as this mess spirals out of control.

Plus, Heather may be needed for scenes to explain what exactly happened during Sharon’s blackout. Sharon may look guilty right now, but things may not be quite as they seem.

There may be more to the story, so the show may eventually offer some flashbacks that prove Sharon’s innocence.

If someone else was at the penthouse that night and did the deed instead, that could be a game-changer for Sharon.

Whatever the case, Linden Ashby’s latest arc as “Cameron” proves that a character can keep popping up regardless of whether they’re actually still breathing or not!

The Young and the Restless spoilers say Sharon has more shockers ahead of her, so we’ll bring you updates on all the wild news to come
