Victor "Adam" Newman Jr. and Sharon Collins Newman are fictional characters and a former couple from the CBS Daytime soap opera, The Young and the Restless. Adam is the son of wealthy business tycoon, Victor Newman and Hope Adams Wilson. Sharon is the daughter of Doris Collins and grew up with modest means.
Shadam is the nickname given for the relationship between Adam Newman and Sharon Newman
Sharon Newman is pregnant by Nicholas, her ex-husband and Adam's half brother. Ashley still believes she is pregnant. When Sharon goes into premature labor, Ashley believes that she is as well. Adam steals Sharon's baby and passes it off as Ashley's. Adam elopes with the unsuspecting Sharon soon, and then they get into a plane crash. Adam clears his conscience and shows Sharon a note that says that her baby is still alive. However, Sharon bumps her head and forgets about it. Nick and Jack become suspicious of Adam and then begin to suspect that the baby is alive. Sharon breaks it off with Adam and begins to remember things that contradict what she has been told about her baby's death
Skye continued to be a thorn in Adam's side, and Adam soon left her to chase Sharon in New Orleans. Sharon fell back in love with him and they had sex. The next day, while walking in the park, Nick and the FBI showed up. The FBI arrested Adam as Nick explained to him and Sharon that Skye has disappeared and blood was found in her hotel room, and Adam was a suspect for her murder.
He was brought back to Genoa City and thrown in jail, and Sharon looked for evidence that he was innocent. She discovers that an order for a discontinued perfume that Skye always wore was sent to Hawaii, so Sharon went to find her. She came back a few days later and explained that she found Skye while hiking up a volcano, and when she demanded that Skye come back with her, there was a fight and Skye fell into the volcano, and Sharon was unable to prove that Skye was ever there. Luckily, Jack went to Hawaii and found evidence that Skye was there, so Adam was cleared of all charges.
Unfortunately, Sharon was now suspected of murdering Skye. Jack and Phyllis found a video that showed Victor in Hawaii, and Adam went to confront him. Victor told Adam he'll get Sharon freed of all charges if Adam testified for Victor, who was being sued by Victoria, Nick, and Abby for their trust funds. Adam had to say that he made the trusts to mess with his dad, so the lawsuit was based on fraud. Sharon begged him not to do it, but he did so anyways.
Nick demands that Sharon obtain a restraining order against Adam in order to prevent Adam's influence on their daughter Faith or he will not allow Sharon to see Faith. Adam understands that she must choose Faith over him but they spend one last night together before the order takes effect.
Adam receives a frantic call from Sharon asking for his help. He heads to the Newman ranch to find the house on fire. He rescues Sharon from the flames only to learn that she set the fire. He installs her in the guest house on his property to hide from Victor and hires an arsonist to set other fires around town to throw the police off Sharon's trail. He also hires a therapist for Sharon who diagnoses her with manic depression. When Chelsea finally learns that Sharon is staying in the guest house, she questions Adam's commitment to her.
Eventually, she walks in on Adam kissing Sharon. She finally agrees to stay with Adam only if he agrees to leave Genoa City.
Desperate to know the truth, Adam reached out to Sharon for help. Adam faced Nick's fury when he saw her with Sharon, and was stunned when Nick told him that Sharon had cancer. Adam was remorseful asking Sharon for help since he had no idea, but Sharon still wanted to help Adam.
Adam and Sharon continued therapy until he had a breakthrough, which caused him to fly off to Kanas where he went to visit his old home. There, Adam remembered all of the events that happened that night. He remembered hiding under the table and coming out to confront AJ, who mocked him. Adam then shoved AJ and he suffered a fatal head injury from the fall.
Sharon showed up to talk to Adam, and later Chance showed up. He saw Sharon and Adam together, but Adam told him not to worry about it. Chelsea showed up and Sharon hid under the bed. Adam eventually came home, but started pushing Chelsea away. Chelsea vowed that she loved Adam and will stand by him.
Adam called Sharon and asked to meet her directly at the apartment he shared with Riza. Sharon couldn't believe she was coming face-to-face with Adam and helped fill Adam in on everything good about him. She talked Adam into coming back for one week, and Adam agreed.
Adam tell Rey that he and Sharon are meant to be together. The pair now are close friends
