Page "Wonderfalls" Paragraph 9

* Katie Finneran as Sharon Tyler – The eldest of the Tyler siblings, Sharon is an immigration lawyer and the most ambitious member of the family.

Sharon constantly finds herself having to help Jaye — particularly when she has legal trouble — even though there is a strong degree of animosity between the sisters at the start of the series.

To Jaye, Sharon is everything she doesn't want to be: goal-and career-oriented, constantly seeking their parents ' approval, extremely high-strung, and apparently with little enjoyment of her life.

Meanwhile, Jaye's constant pranks and somewhat callous disregard for her sister has made Sharon highly resentful.

In the first episode, when Jaye discovers Sharon's " big secret " ( that she is a lesbian ), they admit that despite their animosity they do love one another.

Jaye not only keeps Sharon's secret from everyone else, she even helps Sharon out on occasion when someone ( particularly their parents ) comes close to discovering the truth.

In turn, despite great shows of reluctance, Sharon always helps Jaye when she needs it, and even comforts Jaye when Jaye is in despair over Eric.
