Sharon Lehman is the mother of Dana Silva and the grandmother of Dana’s daughter Nicole Shoemaker. Sharon and her husband Nelson conspired with their son-in-law Dr. Phillip Shoemaker to get Nicole back after Dana kidnapped her and fled to Brazil. Phillip poisoned Dana’s new husband, Oscar Silva, and when Dana arrived, she was arrested on an outstanding warrant.
Nicole was given to the Lehman temporarily, but to portray Dana as an unfit mother, they set a floating raft out to sea and left Nicole drugged on sleeping pills in the boathouse, making Dana seem like an unfit mother. Nicole was found, destroying the ruse, and Nelson and Phillip took the fall.
