Tyler Perry’s The Oval | How Did Sharon Get Out of Jail?
The Oval Season 6: Sharon’s Return Raises Big Questions
Sharon is finally back in The Oval, but her return leaves more questions than answers. One of the most frustrating things about the show is when it completely skips over major events that could be explained with just a few lines of dialogue.
Take this scene: Sharon shows up at Nancy and Richard’s house, knocks on the door, and no one is home. She calls Dale, and their conversation goes something like this:
👉 Dale: “Sharon?! How did you get out of jail?”
👉 Sharon: “Oh, the police let me go. It was all just some BS charges, so they couldn’t hold me.”
That’s it. No explanation beyond that. It’s an easy fix, yet the show chooses to gloss over it.
Now, in reality, the actress may not have been available to film for a while. She doesn’t have social media, so there’s no way to confirm, but it’s possible she was working on another project. The Oval Season 6 was filmed in early 2024, and Season 7 wrapped up months ago, so there could have been scheduling conflicts. There’s also speculation that she may have taken time off for personal reasons—she got married before disappearing from social media, and it’s not uncommon for actors to step away for family or other commitments.
Regardless, Sharon is back, and she’ll be at the house when Nancy and Dale return. Meanwhile, Nancy is out on a shopping spree with money that isn’t hers, all in an attempt to get back at Richard.
Karen’s Reaction to Barry’s Death Feels Off
Another odd moment? Sharon asking about Barry. She asks Dale if he’s heard from Barry and where Kareem is. But here’s the thing—Dale has no idea that Kareem is being held in a bunker at the White House. And Sharon? She already assumed Barry was dead!
She literally attacked Kareem because she believed Barry was gone after finding his cracked and bloody phone under Kareem’s couch. So why is she suddenly asking about him now? It makes no sense. The body found in Kareem’s apartment wasn’t Barry’s—police confirmed that much—but we still don’t know who it was or who put them there.
What’s Next?
For those wondering, no, the scene where Sharon and Dale stop Richard from strangling Nancy hasn’t aired yet. Given everything happening at the White House, it’s likely we won’t see that moment for a couple more weeks.
That being said, welcome back, Sharon! What are your thoughts on her return? And do you think the show should have given a better explanation for her absence? Let me know in the comments below!
