SHARLENE FRAME

FAMILY
Parents
Sharlene's parents, Henry and Jenny Frame, died when all the Frame children were quite young. Eldest child Emma raised Sharlene and her siblings.

Children
Sharlene has two children.

Josie Watts. They were very close, though they often had mother/daughter disagreements. Josie was devastated when her mother died in 1991. In 1994, she was ecstatic to learn her mother was still alive, though buried beneath the Kate Baker personality. She and her mother enjoyed a tear-filled reunion when Sharlene re-emerged.

Gregory Hudson. Gregory was born in February 1991. Sharlene left him at a young age, but when he saw her again in 1994 he said, "She looks like Mommy." Sharlene went down on her knees, called him her Sugar-Lamb, and took him in her arms.

Siblings
Sharlene has seven siblings. None of them still live in Bay City, having left many years ago. Sharlene remains close to her sister, Emma whom she often visits though off-screen.

SPOUSES
Floyd Watts
Floyd was never seen on the show and exists only as part of Sharlene's history. They were married out of high school in the early 1970s. Floyd was almost immediately drafted into the Vietnam War, and she went to San Francisco to be near him till he shipped out. She only 21, waitressing at a cocktail lounge, when she received word he had been killed (at age 22 about 1973). Sharlene was devastated by his death and began sleeping with army officers to make her feel close to Floyd. From that point she became a prostitute.

DATES
Fax Newman (RIP)
When Sharlene began working at BCGH, Dr. Newman began putting the moves on her. Sharlene was flattered by the attention and went out on a date with him. Fax being the Bay City stalker put the kibosh on any future together.

MEDICAL HISTORY
When she was about eight years old, Sharlene was sexually abused by her brother Jason's friend, Bailey Thompson. This devastating experience left her with a multiple personality disorder. Her mind created the persona of Sharly to be able to handle the abuse. Sharly is an extremely cold and brutal person who cares only for herself.

In 1990, Sharlene's alter ego, Sharly (now using Watts as a last name) emerged and wreaked havoc with Sharlene's life.

Later that year, Sharlene went into therapy and succeeded in integrating her two personalities.

In fall 1991, Sharlene was caught in an explosion that almost killed her. Under the stress, her mind created a third personality. This person, known as Kate Baker, had no memory of her other selves. Kate left Bay City in a daze and Sharlene was presumed dead by her family and friends. Within a short while, Kate's mind had created a past history for herself, which she believed to be real.

Kate came to Bay City in December 1993, where she encountered Sharlene's ex-husband, John Hudson. John knew that Kate was Sharlene. He convinced Kate that she was just an alternate personality of Sharlene's. When John was lying near death from a car crash, Kate sacrificed herself so that Sharlene could re-emerge and help John recover.

In 1996 Sharlene stupidly wandered into the Hudson barn during a standoff between cops and escaped con Cody Murcer. Sharlene was shot and was paralyzed from November 1996 to April 1997.

She is allergic to seafood.

She attempted suicide in 1976.

CURRENT AND FORMER OCCUPATIONS
Sharlene spent a couple years as a prostitute in the early 1970s.

While in Bay City in the mid-1970s, Sharlene worked at Lamonte and Associates architecture firm.

In the late 1980s, she made most of her money by making and selling canned preserves. When money was tight she worked briefly as a waitress at TOPS.

In her Kate Baker persona, she worked as a cook at the community center and at Bay City General Hospital.

Newly divorced in 1996, Sharlene was forced to return to the workforce to support herself and Gregory. She found employment as secretary to Rita Madison, BCGH's hospital administrator.
