Hello my darlings! Long time no see ❤️

It had to happen sooner or later. Still, we couldn't b be more bummed to report that daytime's best and most popular villainess—Kimberlin Brown of The Bold and the Beautiful—will be written off the show in early June. The actress, who began playing naughty Nurse Sheila —on The Young and the Restless in 1990 and then took the character to B&B in 92, is pretty bummed about it, too.

"What saddens me about [B&B's decision] is that I always thought Sheila would go out with a big bang,” says Brown. "There's not going to be a trial or anything. No final showdown with [archfoe] Lauren Fenmore. No one is ever going to know why she's the way she is." You name it, Sheila’s done it—kidnapping, baby-switching, arson, torture, man-rape. She even “accidentally” pushed her shrink off a penthouse balcony (hey, it happens).

Sheila had become so irredeemable, in fact, that Brown (whose contract wasn't due to expire until late July) says, “I tried to start negotiations way last fall to see what my future was going to be.Talks went back and forth for a while, and then I never heard anything more from anybody-until they told me I was done.They said they needed to take a 'Sheila break'.

Did Brown’s widely reported feud with costar Hunter Tylo (Taylor) trigger the termination? She doesn't think so: "Hunter and I may have had our personal problems, but they didn't infringe on the workplace at all. We were very grown-up about the whole thing and just avoided each other." Adds the star philosophically, "I would have been very happy to negotiate—or at least to try to negotiate. But sometimes you need to be pushed away before you take steps in another direction. I don't look at this as a bad thing at all. I'm not crying or losing sleep. It's time to stretch my wings and see where they take me."

Bradley brought Sheila back because B&B started tanking after Sheila's goodbye party. Sheila was played out by the end of her second run and she then became Bradley's "break glass in case of emergency" character.
