Y&R: WHO POISONED REY?

Rey’s blood test reveals that he’s been poisoned by a deadly substance called thallium, and a worried Sharon hasn’t left her husband’s bedside since he’s been admitted to the hospital. “It’s a concern that he’s not waking up,” says Sharon Case (Sharon). “After Nate tells Sharon that Rey’s been poisoned, she’s really scared because she doesn’t know if they can get the poison out of his system in time and save him. Sharon’s afraid he’ll die.”

Sharon is also carrying the extra burden over the sad state of their marriage. “They’ve been at odds for a long time because of Sharon’s feelings for Adam, and that’s been blurring all the lines of the future of her and Rey’s marriage,” Case notes. “When you’re at risk of losing someone, that’s when you start really counting the ways of how much you love them and what they mean to you and what your life would be like without them. It centers Sharon and helps her to realize not only how much Rey means to her, but how much she’s been neglectful of him.”
