Casting
Newman was created and introduced by William J. Bell, with the character making her first appearance March 24, 1994. Case, who plays Sharon to the present, was the third actress to have the role in a four-month period. Monica Potter was the first actress to portray Sharon, followed by Heidi Mark; each actress had a two-month stint. Case had previously worked on General Hospital and As The World Turns when she was cast in August 1994, and believed she would play Sharon for a maximum of six months. In 2003 the actress was off-screen from February 17 to May 1, during contract negotiations (resolved in April, when she signed a new agreement with producers).

Famous quotes containing the word casting:
“Reason sits firm and holds the reins, and she will not let the feelings burst away and hurry her to wild chasms. The passions may rage furiously, like true heathens, as they are; and the desires may imagine all sorts of vain things: but judgement shall still have the last word in every argument, and the casting vote in every decision.”
—Charlotte Brontë (1816–1855)
“This I do know and can say to you: Our country is in more danger now than at any time since the Declaration of Independence. We don’t dare follow the Lindberghs, Wheelers and Nyes, casting suspicion, sowing discord around the leadership of Franklin D. Roosevelt. We don’t want revolution among ourselves.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“All we know
Is that we are a little early, that
Today has that special, lapidary
Todayness that the sunlight reproduces
Faithfully in casting twig-shadows on blithe
Sidewalks. No previous day would have been like this.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
