Kimberlin is one of the greats and this clips showcases it. Bill Bell really treasured her character. I would love to see current day Sheila back to the top. Throwback to when Bold was really Bold, it had class and elegance. And budget.

I just wish they’d utilize her better by bringing on any of the following:

Lauren 

Scotty

Mary

Diana

Ryder

Daisy

Lucy 

James

Maggie

Personally I think she has more story potential on Y&R (unless Bold starts utilizing her history with Eric) but I will watch either show.

She’s a vet. Of course she should be controlling story. But again, I also think she’d have more opportunities at Y&R. They desperately need Sheila, their most iconic villainess of all time, back in Genoa City stirring the pot. 
 

I don’t like Finn or Steffy so for me this story is just a waste of Kimberlin’s talents.

Lol at people thinking Sheila shouldnt control story. All she did is control story and if you think otherwise you are storyline-blind. 

1. Sheila stole Laurens baby - controlled YEARS of storyline

2. Sheila changed Brookes paternity tests - triggered YEARS of storyline

3. Sheila deleted the BELIEF formula 

4. Sheila poisoned Stephanie for months - again months of story

5. Sheila manipulated Brooke into drinking wine... leading to months of story.

Just 5 examples. The bias is laugh-inducing. As much as you hate KB, you cannot deny what Sheila is.  People telling that the sky is red here. LOL.

Sheila is iconic. I’m gay and KB’s views don’t bother me because they don’t impact her ability to play the part. 
We’ve also entered an age of hardcore shipping like we’ve never seen before. In the 90s I would have excitedly welcomed a character like Sheila to come in and generate story for my couple.

Sheila is a villain. Villains should never control story on any soap.  They can do shortterm arcs and that's it.  Nobody will ever convince me otherwise.

Also I have loathed every story arc Sheila ever had, even the short ones. 
I hated everything with Lauren also.

I won't watch any episode she's in.   Nothing to do with the actress.
The character is disgusting to me.

I just loathe the character.
Not love to hate.
Just loathe.

    • Coming into June...   It just occurred to me that seeing Carter/Hope engaged that there was something missing. Oh, yeah! DAPHNE. I missed a few episodes, but she left, right? So is Ridge going to be the spoiler for Carter/Hope now? I felt that Daphne/Carter/Hope had more legs to it. But I guess we will see.   I did enjoy that show circling back around to Luna/Will/Electra. Katie was spitting nothing, but truth. Same for Sheila. And it's good to see Luna vs Electra, and they gave off more adversary chemistry this time around versus when they were at Deacon's.    I was happy to see Liam reduced to C plot.
    • To bring over from the May Sweeps Thread from @Chris B   I know the fashions have gotten mixed reviews but I actually like what the new costume designer is putting the cast in. It feels more modern and the more tacky pieces I feel make sense for rich people. They're buying for the brand and the price and we often see celebs in things like this. Especially for a character like Nikki, I feel the more over the top (and tacky), the more realistic it is.   I agree. While it has been hit and miss no question, I have found it fascinating to watch what the costume designer is attempting to do with the various characters and their clothes. Some have been overdue. Some have been fascinating. But (outside of Billy) not boring to watch. I definitely find it more modern as well.   My growing issue has been it's not good that the best reason to watch Y&R as of late has been to see what people are wearing rather than the writing. It feels like a red flag.
    • Haha. The fact that I stopped regularly viewing at the same time and know what you are talking about is chef's kiss.    I'm slowly bingewatching Nurse's Ball Week. But it's slow for me because a lot of the same tics and writing flaws for me that made me throw up my hands is still evident *cough*CVE*cough* Thankfully, there are some things I like also and from a glance in the GH May Thread, it seem like it had a good Sweeps with good fallout. And do I even need to mention Nina finally slapping the taste out of Carly's mouth? See? Regardless of her flaws, I do enjoy Korte-headed episodes over CVE-headed episodes because they always seem to have more emotional resonance to long-time fans.
    • And that charity does still get mentioned from time to time. I want to say the last time was some time this year, too. 
    • Oh, no. Vernon has definitely had his moments.   Choose silence anyone?
    • Search YT for Edwyn Sanchez, he posted an AI enhanced episode of ATWT and it is beautiful.   
    • That's so funny, that's how I listen to Montecito - while walking my dog. I'll have to check out Forever & a Day.
    • I need to listen! Forever & a Day was a fun soapy podcast to have available when I walked the dog.
    • A few years ago, Devon and Nick started a charity organization together, I think it's for housing in the community.
