Moving to Genoa City in 1994, Doris Collins raised her daughter Sharon alone. Although Sharon has prospered as an adult, her teenage years were anything but kind to Doris. Growing up in Madison, Wisconsin, Doris was faced with her first heartache after she headed out into the night looking for Sharon. Upset and anxious to find her daughter, Doris ended up in a car accident and permanently lost the use of her legs. Though things had been tough, she and Sharon managed until once again Doris was faced with an upsetting dilemma�
Finding out sixteen year old Sharon was pregnant put an emotional toll on Doris. Knowing they could never care for a newborn, she convinced her daughter to give the baby girl up for adoption. Though it wasn't easy, Sharon survived the ordeal and Doris and her daughter moved to Genoa City. For the most part, Sharon didn't give Doris any more problems. She went on to meet and eventually marry into the Newman family.
Years later, feeling the same guilt and wonderment as Sharon in regards to the child she had given up, it was a blessing when Doris and her daughter were reunited with Sharon's little girl Cassie. Sharon and Nick ended up getting custody and Doris grew very close to her granddaughter. In Later years, tragedy would strike again when Cassie died as a result of a car accident leaving those who loved her in utter devestation.
Since then, Doris has moved out of town and spends her time taking classes and trying new things.

Sharon sits with her mom, Doris, in the coffee house. They discuss the loss of the baby. Doris says he won't feel it the same way Sharon will. Sharon tells her mother that she has accepted that she and Nick aren't going to be together. Sharon tells Doris that she is going up to the Abbott cabin to spread the baby's ashes. Doris realizes she's going to do it without Nick, and urges her to wait. Sharon says she has to do this now.
Abby and Noah chat with Phyllis and Nick at the memorial gathering. Phyllis reassures Abby as Nick takes a phone call - it's Doris Collins. She tells him that Sharon is headed to the Abbott cabin with the baby's ashes - she thought he should know! Nick gets off the phone and tells Phyllis and Noah what's going on. Phyllis says she will stay there - he should go. Noah says he's coming too and Nick agrees, but just then Abby asks Noah to sit with her. Nick says he'll go himself.
Sharon and Noah bring Doris into Crimson Lights. Noah takes off to take a friend in the car - he points out a girl named Mia. Sharon is surprised. Sharon says that love shouldn't be a difficult thing, and gets a far-off look. Doris says she should be the one taking care of her - she brings up the forgetfulness, and the guilt over Brad's death. Sharon wonders if she's implying that she's weak. She spills a drink on her mother and goes to the counter to get a cloth. While she's there, she puts someone's phone in her purse - Doris sees and comes over. She takes the phone out of Sharon's purse and puts it on the counter. Sharon has no idea how it got in her purse, but Doris says she put it there - she needs a doctor. Sharon disagrees, and abruptly says she's taking Doris home!
