I've just watched the reveal episodes and Kimberlin has this ability to cast a dark shadow over her face...her expression totally changes and she inhabits this darkness. It's kind of incredible.

Krista Allen was really good in the moment where Taylor thunders "YOU KNEW!" to Sheila...considering she's a late in the character's run recast, she's got the character nailed down.

OMG! At the turnaround. 

 

Friday cliffhangers aside, all the Sheila/Steffy/Finn stuff has been nicely paced (outside of trying to restart the Hope/Liam/Steffy triangle...ewww no). But Steffy remembering...oooooo JMW has really and truly been acting her a$% off and I've been loving it.

 

And it goes without saying that THIS TIME, Steffy played it smart and had backup. Cuz...SHEILA. And so far...I like that yep Sheila is trying to wiggle her way out of this confrontation with Steffy.

 

Meanwhile I love that as the main story is climaxing, the writers wisely started another story. Donna back with her Honey Bear. Who would have thought? I guess it shouldn't be surprising given Eric's own history and she has been pinning for a while. But...while Quinn is one to talk...you just know someone is going to get slapped. Or perhaps that will lead Quinn back to Carter. And NOW Paris wants to get insecure. Ooooo the possibilities.

That darkness was what made the scene. Kimberlin is able to make Sheila more scary than other soap opera psychos who come back repeatedly because she plays her as fearful a real deranged person would be. And I did notice that Krista was able to get into the character in away that makes it seem like she's been on the show much longer.

It’s odd to me that Eric only had one scene with Sheila, and still hasn’t been to see Steffy. I’m guessing yesterday was a wrap on Sheila’s latest return? Not sure if it was coincidental, but today makes 30 years since Sheila first arrived on B&B

As evil as Sheila is she did have Brooke's number when she called out Brooke as being pathetic. Throughout the entire situation Brooke has brought everything back to herself and Ridge. She took several digs at Taylor while Steffy was in the hospital.

This story would have been more effective had Steffy been the one to keep the secret as opposed to Thomas. That would have made for awkward conflict between her and Ridge while she is on the mend as well as her feeling some guilt over keeping the secret just to keep her parents together.  Steffy could have eventually felt wrong about keeping the secret and then confronted Sheila leading to the same outcome.

    • I don't think so, but I wouldn't be surprised if he was Dumas this whole time.
    • Tamara Tunie was serving up grand dame diva fierceness.
    • Nick told Victoria that he and Sharon had married in England.  Victoria was shocked.  Then she realized he was kidding.  He confirmed it was a joke and they're platonic. I don't even know what to say about that.
    • It's funny you say that because part of the entertainment of the trials on the show are all the day players who come on as witnesses and jurors.  I'm certain it was like the Law and Order of its time. It employed so many New York actors, that if you look close enough, there's usually someone vaguely recognizable in the courtroom.
    • I will defend Dante.  People already suspect he may be a bit unstable from time to time (from his time as a prisoner).  And, he's taking care of other people's kids from time to time.  So, he has reason to be cautious with those in his care.
    • Josh continues to try and milk Abbott/Newman rivalry. First it was Billy/Victoria, then Kyle/Summer, then Noah/Allie (that worked out well) and now Kyle/Claire. Do we have any inkling when Billy Flynn will arrive and who he will play? I'm sure Cole's illness will mostly play offscreen. What's in store for Nick and Sharon? Is it time to put them back together? I can't see any other romantic options. Nick has no children on the canvas to play off, as Christian is never seen. Sharon has only Mariah onscreen.
    • I would appreciate (if they're not coming), for future scripts to refer to them by their iconic hairdos.  For example, if Hope needs to call Chelsea because Bo has Sepsis, I'd like Shawn-D to say, "My Mom called Chelsea (the one with the sassy short black hair) for an update." Also, new rule, if Melanie does return, she needs to dye her hair back to red.  I googled who she was five times during Victor's funeral.

    • Broderick, thank you for all of the info [I edited for space]. I am so grateful for everyone filling in the blanks for me. I suspected the Nora/Eliot scene was very important and it was setting something up but I didn't know what. Can't wait to see it play out. The two actors had such a great back and forth. I should have made the Paige/Patty Hearst connection. I thought Paige was in love with Brian from the first episode I watched but it seemed as if they were brother and sister. Steve kept being affectionate with her so I assumed he was the love interest. Then she was affectionate with someone else and well..she's a very busy woman. I can't wait to see Frances Fisher show up. (I'm trying to be vague because I don't know what would be a spoiler in this storyline) Now it makes sense why Draper would be upset. I didn't get the whole background of why he didn't go to NY. I'm a sucker for good acting, so I might still side with April and Margo, if the writers don't give Draper more to do besides yelling.  He had more chemistry with Logan, but I know that's not happening.  Something else I noticed: the show really takes care with even the smallest parts. The acting is superb. Too often, I noticed on older soaps they don't take care with the recurring or day players (Ryan's Hope was so bad with this that I couldn't make it through some episodes). It's only been six episodes, but so far, the casting department was spot on.
    • I thought Dante was overreacting.  Gio made some mistakes but he's young and he tried.  It's not like he dragged two 14 years to a party and made them get blackout drunk.  Dante can have the initial upset reaction, but to go on and on was a bit much.  
    • His (adoptive) nieces.  Chelsea and Stephanie.  I think Abby was involved too, but I am not sure if they are related lol.
