YR/BOLD: 30 Years of Sheila Carter

[dragonflies]

Hard to believe Sheila's been terrorizing people on both shows for that long

What is the first storyline you remember of Sheila?

 

Mine is the Lauren/Scottie with the fake pregnancy

[BoldRestless]

As a kid, watching her shoot that TV at the farmhouse!

Fun fact: the day the farmhouse caught on fire was the day I was born

Very thankful to have been able to watch Sheila’s whole intro storyline on B&B in the Vault

haha I was like 3 years old, and to me she was the “mean looking lady” on mommy’s soaps. 

anyways the first memory I have is Jay Garvin falling out the window thanks to Sheila!

Haha that’s awesome!! definitely a good day to be born!
 

off topic, And nothing against anyone on here born a decade or so before, but i always love finding other 90s kids on here like myself (born September 1, 1990) who love soaps!

When poor Jay Garvin FELL OFF that balcony at his practice. Sheila was hardly involved, of course

Sheila's first Y&R episode was May 1990 and first B&B episode was May 1992. I liked her 1990-1992 Y&R storyline and 1992-1995 B&B storyline. Sheila was played out by the end of her second B&B run (1995-1998).

Growing up in the 2000s I had never heard of Sheila until looking back at her storyline on YouTube in the 2000teens. The first I'd heard of her was that horrendous Phyllis plastic surgery storyline.

 I was amazed at her first run on Y&R concerning the baby switch. It was one of the most well plotted stories I had ever seen on the show. The farmhouse and transition to B&B just blew me away. Seeing her go toe to toe with the ruthless Stephanie Forrester was a great site.

Sheeila's best story was 1990-92. 1993 to 2002 was okay. 2003 with the island was cartoonish. 2006-Present was sub par. Her only recent saving grace was 2005 with Soctt Jr and gaslighting Lauren. It was past Sheila's  prime, but better than anything recent.

That’s why I laugh when people say that soap fans are all old

My first memory of Sheila, is from B&B where she held the Forresters hostage in their mansion. It was must see tv, and made me get hooked on B&B.

Who invited Elmer Fudd?

Sheila debuted 30 years ago but they make it seem like she's been on the soap the whole time.

Publicity stunt!

Technically 32 years considering her initial Y&R run, but who’s counting?

My first memory was the lab cat fight with Lauren, though I think it may have been a flashback shown on B&B later in 92.

The 1990-1995 storylines were exceptional. Stellar nuanced writing, long-term storylines and memorable scenes. The ability of hiding her misdeeds for so long in both shows. And Kimberlin was (and still is) a very gifted actress.

Nothing was better than the original start on YR.  Even though towards the end under WJB pen it got silly.
