For me, most of Sheila's initial run on B&B. That was when she was written as a well rounded villainess as opposed to one note psycho and Kimberlin Brown seemed to truly enjoy the role. There was a logic to everything she did and it was a time when there were all kinds of different women in the Forrester family. Sheila butting heads with Stephanie and Taylor while being friends with Brooke was more interesting than the bubble story she had on Y&R with Lauren.

For the record I've hated everything she's done since 1998. I could just about believe her going loopy and shooting Stephanie but after 2002, she was written past the point of no return. I don't blame Kimberlin but the character was used for stunts and it got old. Brad Bell wasn't interested in writing her as a viable long term character which is why she remained holed up in an apartment for six months -- she was a device to get rid of Hunter Tylo and hopefully cause a ratings spike. Well both of those were easily reversable. ;) Hated 2003 (though her having Massimo's child was potential that was wasted) and her latest stuff on Y&R.

I don't even count the Pheila stuff because it meant nothing. Regardless of who was playing her, it wasn't Sheila, it could have been anyone. I'm not just saying that as a Kimberlin Brown fan but there was no sense of her being a character past this invented obsession she had with Lauren.

So yeah B&B 1992-1998 = [!@#$%^&*]y goddess gold. Everything else = one note psycho horse [!@#$%^&*].

Sheila's initial Y&R story.

I saddly didnt get to watch much B&B during her era, but of all the clips I've seen I definitely liked her drugging Stephanie. Sheila really had layers during that time. She was trying to be good, but Stephanie just drove her over the edge and brought it on herself.

I also liked her initial B&B exit story. Again ... layers.

I liked her 2002 return, but this was also the beginning of the end for her character. Forced to be a character in hiding, pulling strings from the shadows. It painted her into the corner of a one-note psycho. Especially when you look at her awful second return to B&B with Sugar and all following Y&R stories. But atleast 2002 was a well plotted story. That kiss of death she gave Mary/Erica in prison gave me chills!

    • "And OMG, watching the scenes of Roger's return in comparison...the quality in the writing really nosedived. The stupid mask." Very much agreed.  Having Roger hide behind a mask for weeks/months, with it culminating with him swinging in on a vine at Blake/Phillip's wedding....geez.  So juvenile. IMO, Guiding Light never did a good job reintroducing major characters, either from the dead or elsewhere.  Masked balls = awful.  Amish = awful. When Reva was brought back from the dead, she should've just showed up in Springfield as Reva, and informed everyone that she had been gone for years because she felt like it.  She had a four-year fling with some dude who ended up dumping her due to disloyalty. Josh would be pissed and declare that their love is not *always* but *sometimes* and he'd act accordingly.  Her kids would hate her.   
    • Agreed. The Emmys next year are gonna be a pretty tough competition and I hope we get a Days sweep lol  Not only does Deidre deserve a nomination for these last few weeks, but I also think Paul Telfer, Raven Bowens, Carson Boatman, Dan Feuerriegel and Alison Sweeney have good chances as well.
    • It’s not about a lack of faith and trust in MVJ, it’s about a a lack of faith and trust in Ron Carlivati, who I think can be very sneaky and manipulative when he wants to be.  And, all that “He’s just a breakdown writer” talk never changed my mind about anything, because at Days, it was “just a breakdown writer” that gave us some of the worst episodes I’ve ever seen.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
