Accent Work on Soaps: The Good, The Bad, and The Godawful
MinnaH replied to Faulkner's topic in Discuss The Soaps
My mind immediately went to her. Losing Adrienne Leon for Sursok was a raw deal. I generally find Australian actors unconvincing as Americans. Ingo Rademacher didn’t fare much better as B&B’s Thorne. -
I’ve never been able to figure out what she actually says either, but I always thought it was “You lie and cheat and treat me like an animal.” Thanks for re-posting this clip; I can’t think of a more thrilling period of the show. All beats played to perfection, a Shakespearean play compared to today.

Which death of a character was totally unnecessary and damaging?
MinnaH replied to asafi's topic in Discuss The Soaps
That is fair. And certainly TPTB wouldn’t have dared to recast. Still, with KSJ having passed and Olivia nowhere in sight there is a large hole in the Winters family I wish Dru were there to fill. -

Sheila’s 2017 return started off pretty well but it became clear after a few months Bell didn’t really know what to do with her. By the time she became a busybody waitress it was clear there wasn’t much foresight or direction (unlike her previous returns, which varied in quality but all had a full narrative arc). The worst was when they had Sheila blab to Eric about seeing Katie with Wyatt—like, what? Then she just kind of disappeared. If Bell knew Kimberlin Brown was running for office he should have sent her out with a bang (literally).

When did "Bold and the Beautiful" stop being good to you?
MinnaH replied to Lust4Life76's topic in Discuss The Soaps
I don’t recall Sheila and Massimo having a past...apart from a fling in 2002. I think the show has gradually deteriorated from its golden era in the early-mid 90s, but it remained mostly good up until 2003/2004, by which point Nick and Jackie ate up a lot of the show for years. Darlene Conley’s passing, the introduction of the horrible triangle, and Susan Flannery’s departure were just nail after nail in the coffin. The show has a decent cast but they are not used properly. -
Sheila attempted to off herself twice on B&B, both by drinking poison and jumping off a roof.

Haha, sadly I am not. I stole my username from a recurring character on Veep.

Thanks for the link!

Loving the 2002 episodes. I watched most of these when they aired but never thought to tape them. Question: In the 8/21 episode, is that Chrishell Stause opposite JF’s Bridget?

Last I checked she had gone from poisoning and shooting people to refilling water glasses...

For B&B, add Thomas Forrester and Sheila Carter to that list.
