January 6, 200718 yr Member Kimberlin did for daytime what David Bowie did for music. Bwahahahaha! I loved him in "Labyrinth."
January 6, 200718 yr Member I just wish i could have seen DruRocks mouth drop when she read that statement from THE MASTER. Sit and spin, my friend, sit and spin Can I take her place? LoL
January 6, 200718 yr Member I don't know about B&B, but I know damn well that Sheila frickin' Carter didn't keep Y&R at number one for nearly two decades. That's such a ridiculous statement to me. Sorry. OMG isn't that the truth. This Kimberlin=love stuff is turning me off the actress and the character big time.
January 6, 200718 yr Author Member I don't think it's at all overstated to say that B&B would not be where it is today if it weren't for Sheila. It only built its real popularity during Kimberlin Brown's first tenure and it's not like she was only a B story like much of her time on Y&R. Sheila was a catalyst in every major story of the time through coming between Eric and Stephanie, helping Brooke get Ridge from Taylor...I even remember her being involved with Thorne and Macy at some level because Thorne didn't want her marrying his father. Did she convince Macy to drink maybe? I can't remember. But my point is, she took a show that had essentially been unremarkable for 6 years and gave some real excitement that translated to lasting ratings success. You are so right. In the months preceeding Kimberlin's arrival at B&B, B&B was always coming in at number 4 or 5 in the neilsen ratings. Once Sheila entered the picture, the show shot up to a consistent number 2 or 3 from which its never wavered. You're also correct in pointing out that Sheila propelled every story to the forefront. She kept Eric away from Stephanie, became a nanny and confidant for Brooke and Brooke's young son (Rick) and sent Macy off the sobriety wagon by putting vodka in Macy's orange juice. Truly, the golden age of The Bold And The Beautiful.
January 6, 200718 yr Member Thankyou! I knew I remembered something like that. Have a hazy memory of Sheila and Macy at the Bikini Bar (years before it got blown up by Sly Donovan). Those really were the days. That's what B&B has been missing...a truly viable trouble maker to stir the plots up past Ridge/Brooke #896, Stephanie/Eric bust-up #742 or Thorne/Ridge's cast off #21. The problem was when Brad Bell was writing in the late 90s, Sheila was pretty much involved with the Warwicks and nobody else. She certainly never interacted with Macy, Taylor, Ridge or even Eric and Brooke.
January 6, 200718 yr Member OMG isn't that the truth. This Kimberlin=love stuff is turning me off the actress and the character big time. GOOD. Because she only deserves real fans. Take a hike if you intend to be unpleasant! Edited January 6, 200718 yr by MarlandRulez
January 6, 200718 yr Member OMG isn't that the truth. This Kimberlin=love stuff is turning me off the actress and the character big time. More the character for me. But all the obsession over KB is getting pathetic! GOOD. Because she only deserves real fans. Take a hike if you intend to be unpleasant! How rude!
January 6, 200718 yr Member More the character for me. But all the obsession over KB is getting pathetic!How rude! THAT my friend is rude. How DARE YOU attack us just because we adore this actress. I'd like to come after your favorites, which i intend to once i find out who they are.
January 7, 200718 yr Member This is pity party # 21156463213156 because KB isn't playing Sheila. Did you all not see what CRAP that was on display the last time KB's Sheila graced Y&R? That was DREADFUL and yeah, it was bad writing, but it was also BAD acting. I don't care what no one says, Roscoe Born was the saving grace in that s/l if it had a saving grace. I know the "Sheila/KB Troops" are gonna club me over the head for this, but why you all get mad when someone dares to voice their dislike for Sheila and that Kimberlin really isn't the SH!T like some say she is?

It's not a pity party. The only TRUE Sheila is Kimberlin Brown. Deal with THAT.
January 7, 200718 yr Member It's not a pity party. It's a [!@#$%^&*] TRAVESTY!!! The only TRUE Sheila is Kimberlin Brown. Deal with THAT.
January 7, 200718 yr Member OMG isn't that the truth. This Kimberlin=love stuff is turning me off the actress and the character big time. Then stay out of threads about it. It's really that simple. Leave the Kimberlin lovin' for her REAL fans.
January 7, 200718 yr Member Then stay out of threads about it. It's really that simple. Leave the Kimberlin lovin' for her REAL fans. That's what the love threads are for. This topic should be there since it is only meant to be love for her.
January 7, 200718 yr Member That's what the love threads are for. This topic should be there since it is only meant to be love for her. True, but if people are sooo annoyed about it, they shouldn't even bother coming into these threads, because by now they should know what they're getting themselves into.
