‘The Young And The Restless’ Preview For Monday: Sharon Gains An Unwilling Mother-In-Law

The Young and the Restless preview for Monday, June 15, teases moments from February 19, 1996 — when Sharon (Sharon Case) and Nick (Joshua Morrow) tied the knot for the first time. But it wasn’t all butterflies and rainbows, because Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) objected to her son tying himself to Sharon for life. Cricket (Lauralee Bell) had some romantic problems of her own as she tried to choose between Paul (Doug Davidson) and Danny (Michael Damian), while Katherine (Jeanne Cooper) pushed Dina (Marla Adams) to go after John Abbott (Jerry Douglas).

Nick and Sharon walked down the aisle despite Nikki’s objections, according to SheKnows Soaps. Sharon enjoyed breakfast with her mother after Nick gave her a special wedding day phone call. Then, Victoria (then Heather Tom) helped her prepare for the biggest day of her life.

Unfortunately for the happy couple, Nikki was not a thrilled mother-in-law-to-be. She wanted her son to marry somebody closer to his economic background and throw a huge, Newman-style party. Unfortunately for Nikki, Nick chose Sharon, and they decided to keep things simple and small, which was absolutely perfect for them. They said their heartfelt vows and were married.

Meanwhile, Cricket was torn between Paul and Danny. Just days before the Newman wedding, Christine was not able to marry Paul, and now she did not even know what she wanted. Is it Paul or Danny who held her heart? Ultimately, she left Paul alone and headed to work to think things through. However, Danny got wind of Chris’s location, so he showed up to plead his case to her. He believed that Christine chose not to marry Paul because she loved him. Cricket told Danny that he was wrong, but it was not clear if she truly meant what she said.

Finally, Katherine encouraged Dina to pursue John. Dina decided Genoa City was not for her. She believed she made a mistake in choosing to return, so she packed up her things and said her goodbyes to her children as well as Katherine. Kay tried to tell her friend to stick around and try to get something going again with John, but Dina’s heart just wasn’t in it. She spent some time discussing her decision with Jack (Peter Bergman), who desperately wanted her to stick around and be a mother to him and his sisters. It was not meant to be, though — Dina stuck firmly to her plan and left Jack in tears.
