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!

    • I’m sensing you’re not really a John Black fan from your posts.
    • The John Black character has been a part of my life for decades. I like heroes being honored.  I'm glad they are giving him a long farewell and tribute.
    • Annie Dutton was anything, but sane when she was introduced.  She was very tortured and looked like she was on the verge of tears when she was first introduced.   While people, and writers, made it seem as though Annie lost her mind because of Josh.. I truly think that Annie had a lot of untreated mental issues that didn't manifest until her marriage to Josh. Sonni was also anything, but strong when she was first introduced either.   Claire in 1983 was a complete 180 from the Claire that we got in 1986... and I do agree that her character was degraded.
    • I remember seeing him briefly when Rick went to confront her about her blackmailing him. (I briefly forgot that Rick's sleeping with Claire at this time was a retcon - or her lying that she slept with him, whatever that story was). I wonder if he interacted with Kurt given that Mark Lewis later took his ATWT role. I tried to watch some of the full episode and it was all so alien and uninvolving. Roxy having a meltdown on that construction site for Mindy and Kurt's house that never gets built. Ed with Ross and Vanessa dealing with custody issues. Even Ross and Vanessa seemed flat, with Vanessa seeming oddly meek.
    • She did. It was during a party at Amanda's. She didn't literally throw herself at him, but she was subtly coming on to him and he quickly shut her down. Yes, I remember she not only made a pass at Justin, she convinced Jackie that he was harassing her sexually. She also tried to convince Sara that he was pestering her. Everyone banged Josh back then, LOL. Whoa. I must have missed a good chunk of this first time around because I don't remember Reva going to India.  What I recall is Harley being a nanny to the kids and then Reva driving off the bridge. Then they kind of toyed with the idea of Josh and Harley getting together but I don't think that ever happened. Yes, that all happens but I don't recall the tumor. Maybe that's coming up soon with the videos being uploaded to Spauldingfield. The last one I watched, she was planning to vamp Kyle while taking care of the pregnant Maeve.
    • I am a little disappointed that the show will be writing Jenn as in the wrong for her not liking Cat, when she's actually in the right.  Maybe if Cat was played by a competent actress and had a purpose, I would be more behind this propping of the character. And I can't wait for the funeral for John Black to be over and then we can proceed and move on.  
    • I'm not sure if the boy Carrie 2 seduced (I think his name was Ron) was still in high school or in college, but I remember he was very shy. I don't recall her making a pass at Alan, but she did make one at Justin, and she ended up banging Josh. I think there was an out of town business man too. Reva thought Josh and Vanessa were having an affair. Vanessa had just been fired by Roger, and when Reva took off to India, Van started helping Josh with the children. He then hired Van to work at Lewis. She would hear him on a business call with Van and think they were arranging a tryst. Or they sat too close together on the couch, so of course they were hiding an affair from her. It was very weird and blew up really quick.  It culminated at the party Reva was throwing at the club to introduce Dylan to Justin. Reva imagined everyone whispering about her and then she dumped a tray of drinks on Vanessa. When Vanessa hauled her into the ladies room to ask WTF, Reva accuses them of having an affair, asks if Van's pregnant, and then knocks her to the floor. I do think Claire had a tumor. I know around Valentine's day, Claire is making passes at a young businessman (or maybe even someone college age), and Ross (Van kinda pushed her at him because she's not keen on Calla). There's also a young intern played by Burke Moses that I think she sleeps with.
    • Congratulations to Carlos Alcaraz on his second win at the French Open!

        If the standard of play in the women's final yesterday wasn't of the highest caliber, that is not something you could say about today's final. It was absolutely fantastic tennis. 
    • When Barbara's letter was read (partly in Barbara's voice), there was commenting upthread that Barbara's voice is similar to the voice of Naomi's unhoused client June.  It did sound like her.  June is played by Jasmine Burke.  Per closing credits, Barbara was voiced by Sherita Bolden.  Still possible that they are connected. From our discussion on the May thread:  Looks and/or voices similar between June, Haley, and Tracy.   Tracy looks like Debbi Morgan. LOL so June might be connected to Haley, Tracy, or Barbara; and/or Samantha&Tyrell. I love that we don't know!
    • In the 1987 episodes, Mary has wonderful conversations with MJ and Cheryl. This is a realistic family with believable dynamics. Mary's ambivalence towards Vince is played nicely. Denise Alexander is so good here. I don't know what happened that the writers or producers just decided to chuck it all away. I don't FF these scenes. The show had a strong family that could have had years of storyline and they did nothing with them. I really don't get it.
