Yes, Sheila was iconic.....   But then Brad Bell did what other writers have also done with their villains, he took her too far. Now it makes no sense at all that any of Sheila's victims would accept her in their life in any way. She may have been cleared of the criminal charges against her, but that doesn't mean that Steffy, Finn, Li, Eric, Brooke or anyone else that Sheila has hurt has to accept her as a part of their lives.

 

Brad Bell takes everything too far. He is tacky. 

Kimberlin is one of the greats and this clips showcases it. Bill Bell really treasured her character. I would love to see current day Sheila back to the top. Throwback to when Bold was really Bold, it had class and elegance. And budget. 

Sheila was so iconic, GOD.

KKL looking not a day over 40. Stunning as always. I hope we see something daring for Brooke soon.

I hope she wins one some day and not only get the nomination. I am glad that the Emmys appreciated her and nominated her. She deserves it.

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who thinks Kimberlin Brown's acting is overrated like crazy. That squinting to show emotion drives me crazy. And don't even mention tears. She can't bring them up.

 

Your post is really special. For someone who calls him/herself "OpportunisticSlut" you sure are judgmental about someone enjoying shirtless men on the show. Your "find a decent porno film to watch" is just ridiculous.

The FACT is that people can enjoy seeing beautiful men and beautiful women on the show AND comment about lousy acting and stories.

And honey, if you have to go back 30 years-- THIRTY -- to tell me how good Kimberlin Brown is....well, you've done a good job on your own of explaining the problem.

I hit a nerve.

Personally I would say the vault clips of 1982 (there are not too many full episodes 1982-1985). Then in 1986 you can pick up the full episodes in German if you wish. 1982 is when the Brooks family and Lorie are phased out and the main storylines begin to center around Victor, Nikki, Katherine, and the Abbotts. I did this during the pandemic when they started being uploaded and I also read along with the Soap Opera Digest tumblr to fill the gaps. I would just stop reading when it started talking about things I hadn't seen yet.  

Thank you. I may start with the german episodes 

I want to start watching after failing to get into the show so many times. I think it is because I do not know when to start watching. Can someone help me with a year where a lot of storylines are starting and its easier to get into. Like a more of a reset period.  

wrong thread

Bridget by Jennifer Finnigan will forever be BRIDGET for me.

I have noticed a big difference compared to the current uploads of 2023. I dont know what to trust.

I have noticed some big improvements in the IMDB database, regarding the dates and episode numbers. These numbers were completely off since the multiple preemptions in late 2019 (for the impeachment hearings) and 2020 (covid break). They were already posting 9050-9060 recaps while we hadn't even seen the 9000th episode. Now it seems correct, although I still have a difference of 1. For me the episode that aired on Monday, December 11 has the number #9165. IMBD says #9166. Maybe it's still linked to the confusion about 8426 and 8426A, IDK. I also see some major improvements for the 1992-1996 years. A few years ago I tried to make a complete episode count with all the characters from 1987-2020, but a lot of data was missing during these 5 years, now I think it'd be easier to make that list again with correct numbers.  Thank you to whoever improved that if someone on this thread worked on it. Also thanks for the preemption dates from 1987-1995, we're very grateful to have all the correct informations.

I see some posters are noticing issues with the sound in some episodes from 1995-1996. I haven't noticed it so far. The videoland quality is still much better than Youtube so if a handful of episodes are incomplete or musicless, I don't mind. Thank you for the 2001-2002 episodes, they are much better than the previous versions.

@divinemotion I get the current episodes from this page. https://scene-rls.net/?s=the+bold+and+the+beautiful&submit=Find      But the first episodes of October are missing. November 2 is missing too. But this person is doing a fantastic job, you can download episodes in 480, 720 or 1080,.... avi, mp4 or mkv. The recent ones (MeGusta) even have subtitles. I delete some of them once I've watched, but  hopefully someone  kept them all and will upload them to the vault.

 

I guess I will download from there. Thank you!

Something in the style of Bradley Bell.

Eric goes into experimental treatment. It is successful, but has terrible side effects. Eric wakes up and is disoriented. He looks around the room, but is shocked to find Stephanie is long gone and all his children have grown up. The last thing Eric remembers is falling asleep in the year 1993 with his wife Sheila Forrester.

He calls out her name, but Sheila is not there in the hospital. What doctor Bridget shockingly tells everyone - Eric will live, but he has lost 30 years of his memory. He believes he is in love with Sheila and wants to see her. It would be risky for them to tell him the truth about her, because it could kill him, so everyone has to play a game till Eric is better. 

Sheila is shocked at first, but happy and laughing next. She moves in the mansion and acts like she has never left Eric's side. The doctors tell her she needs to keep this act for his sake. What Sheila realizes is that now she can re-do 30 years of damage and start over. Her original plan to take-over Forrester is re-ignited.

One lost forgotten enemy lurks in the corner, Lauren Fenmore is back in town after seeing a tik tok live with Sheila and Eric celebrating New Year. She is informed about what is happening by the others, but Lauren will NOT play that game. A war is ressurected.

Sheila manages to manipulate and control Eric, she slips him a little document and he agreeingly gives his signature. Sheila laughs in the background.

  2024 ends with Sheila Carter taking over Forrester Creations. Donna Logan is downgraded to Forrester cleaning staff and Brooke cries with her left eye in the corner of the room. Sheila looks upon an old picture of Stephanie, takes the frame and smashes it on the floor. Her laugh is heard all around the country.

It is bad... but I tried to think in Bradley Bell style. Excuse me.

What makes you think so?  KB signed a 3 years contract recently as fas as I know. It seems like the writers are trying to "redeem" the character at the moment. She just got engaged to Deacon, and all the criminal charges against her have been dropped. I don't see her going anywhere anytime soon.

I hope to see more Bill soon. And more Thomas and Taylor. The fact that Luna and RJ have more episodes is quite laughable imo.

@YRfan23, thank you so much for these episode counts, we appreciate it.

I hope so! I did not know that. I would love for Sheila to stay for 3 more years and even more.

It is clear to me that Sheila is not going to be interesting to people that are watching for shirtless men and fangirling. I understand that. BUT some people need to learn to respect the history of the show. Sheila is badly edited sometimes, I agree, some of the scenes with laughing and evil smile are too much. This is an editing and directing problem. Also, script is absurd. Do not place the blame on Kimberlin if she has 10000 scenes laughing behind a bush. I can only imagine how annoying it is for an actor to get the same material over and over and over. That is not a bad actor. It is a bad writer. Some of you do not understand that. Watch Sheila 1991-1993 and tell me Kimberlin is bad. Tell me. She is not! She is an amazing antagonist that is famous in the whole soap world and even outside of it. Let me tell you that most of your favorite characters like Finn or even Steffy will never come close to the influence and format-changing role Sheila has had in soap operas.

I am getting tired of people bashing actors here. I think some of you need to just find a decent porno film to watch. Bold is not it. It is not a show for abs and sexy shirtless guys only. It is a dramatic series with HISTORY and actors that NEED to be respected.

Can I ask if an angel can upload OCTOBER to december 2023... Thank you!

I so hope Finn can save Eric!  What a nail biter!  Gag. 
 

The problem with Sheila is that too much attention has been given to her and two shows have allowed themselves to be eaten by the character with no explanation and frankly - I no longer care about what Sheila did to anyone and I don’t care because all of the characters were written to be stupid. And I don’t know how we got to a place that people would think Kimberlin Brown was worth all of this.  
 

I don’t care about a Feelaya, Pheloa or a Sarah or Sugar or any of those people. If you’re going to write a story for two shows it can’t be 30 years later. The Sheila ship needed to be introduced to a good iceberg 15 years ago.  
 

 

Now this is something I will not stand by. Kimberlin is a soap LEGEND. When she was NOT on the show... pretty much every week someone would write something like... Bring Sheila back. This went for DECADES. The character was so missed and fantasized about.

P.S

I do not understand people bashing actors. I understand bashing or looking down on characters... but to say Kimberlin is not worth all of it is plain wrong. Sorry.

Wow! Is this site related to the official BnB channel? How do they have access to the full catalog in HQ?

This is an official site for episodes, shared by the producer.

The producer said on twitter they will be uploading missing seasons soon and changing everything in better quality. It is too good to be true. WOW. I hope so. WOW.

How are you this freaking clueless? It's NOT about him cheating. Geezus crimony. It's about them trying to sell Eric as this wonderful awesome man now that he's suddenly dying

Eric is garbage and no amount of them trying to tell us otherwise will convince me

Garbage recognizes garbage. So I will agree.Thank you for being the expected moral compass. 

I have always felt that Katie is just there to win Emmys. I really cannot stomach all of her crying sometimes. Heather Tom is amazing but they write Katie in the corner always.

p.s the last couple of episodes have Bollywood level bad acting.

P.s 2 donna really needs to be written off forever and ever. Locked away in Paris or Monaco and the key thrown in a river. 

Guys why are you putting Eric to this high standart just now... when this man is practically dying...  Even if he was a cheater... the lack of empathy for someone dying even if it is only on screen... is mind boggling. Also... practically 99.9999 percent of characters in soap operas... if they are on the show for longer than 2-5 years... CHEAT. It is part of the storyline bible. So it is strange that some of you are saying how bad Eric was because cheating and this and that... when Bold is the epitome of cheating scandals and sex scandals show. So we should not have empathy or care about anyone passing then.

Eric is first and foremost and iconic character. Believe it or not, he is. In my country girls would put posters of John as Eric on their walls. So for me it is different perception probably to now see everyone just asking him to die already or that the character is so so bad... that we should not even care. It is an old man dying. I care. That is why I wanted a better storyline for him.

I suspect Sheila will be written off soon.
