B&B: Steffy vs Sheila promo


Recommended Posts

Ordinarily. I would agree with that idea in general terms about most characters/storylines

But Sheila is a horrible person and should have died permanently decades ago.  She's already had way too much focus.  So in my opinion, she should have zero attention and deserves to be killed off in this way. 

I'm fine with this if it gives Steffy and Finn focus, as they do deserve focus.

Same! Especially since Thudley didn't know how to write for her. Trying to make her a "romantic heroine" type with a love interest and everything. I wonder if this came from CBS? I can't see Brad letting KB go that easily given the love fest he has for her and Sheila. We saw how he gushed over her at her 30th anniversary celebration

Soaps need to have anti-heroes. I don't know if you watched in the 90s, but back in the day Sheila was daytime's greatest villain. I agree that she is over-exposed and stupidly written... but I wanted to see her redeemed or just transformed into an interesting anti-hero of the 2024 day. What Bradley did was use her for cheap tricks and in the end he burned her in the microwave like he does with everyone else.

Actually... I've been thinking now... and you have a point... From what I've observed on social media... and the reactions some actors have had to this... and NOT HAD...  And I am like 55 percent sure Sheila will be back. Which will be even worse. NOW SHE NEEEEEEEEEEEEEDDS TO STAY DEAD.

I disagree.  I did watch Sheila in her initial run on Y&R vs Lauren and I hated her then.  I *still* haven't forgiven her for stealing baby Scotty from Lauren, plus trying to kill her mother Molly Carter in a fire, etc etc etc.
She should have been killed off in that era.

Sheila is NOT redeemable. Any storyline saying she's redeemable is barfworthy in my opinion!

I fundamentally believe that on all soaps, the same villain should not continue to appear for decades.  They should be short-term (maximum one year) story arcs.  The focus should be on the main characters.

Well I disagree respectfully. I think SOAPS are the exact place for villains like that. And I think history has proven it. Soaps thrive on anti-heroes that come and go for decades. But yeah... Bradley could not write for her anymore. So I too prefer her gone. I only wished it was DONE WITH QUALITY.

Brad tried his damndest to "redeem" her and it flopped miserably, even used Deacon to try and do it and nearly ruined Deacon in the process, making him dumber than a box of rocks. Deacon wanted nothing more than to be in Hope(and Beth) and Brooke's lives and choosing Sheila over her? Nope I call B.S

I have seen some strange likes on twitter and people hinting she may... be back... and not actually dead... and all this for ratings. And I am getting scared. I hope SHE IS REALLY DEAD. 

Thank you! I've seen the same with you too! It's pleasure to always discuss and interact insightfully.

oh I can see Brad bringing her back at some point, resurrecting her. I mean they thought her "dead"(and still do apparently) on YR all the while in LA living it up

I mean for months he's done nothing with KB/Sheila. She was just stagnant as a character. Serving pizza, really? She should have gone to prison and stayed there.


Yes I still hate that f*cking idiot Ridge/Bill story, they're the reason she didn't go to prison

Hey @Errol or @Toups anyway we can split this thread and put the KB news separate? If not that's okay

Honestly, finding a new villain for a soap is not exactly a problem as long as they get the casting right. Sheila's just done way too much over the decades to be able to work as a character interacting with other characters on this show. Just start writing new villains with blank slates that can actually convincingly manipulate people without them looking dumb as hell as a result. 

With that said, Sheila will be back when Bradley needs a ratings boost.

    • I feel like the show has been like this for the past 15 or more years, IMO. Things happen but there are never or RARELY any long-term impacts. Instead, everything (characters, history) is just reset to what it was before. In a couple of months, Hope will be working at Forrester again. No one will ever mention the takeover. Brooke and Ridge will be back together for the millionth time, etc etc.  It's hard to get invested in a story when you know this is how the show works.
    • Martin and Smitty's kids not being there seemed like a glaring omission. Also, Naomi and Jacob weren't there as well. I know some of this is probably budget, but it seems like there could be a way to still have them all there.
    • Thanks so much for finding this & posting it. This makes me so angry!!!
    • Dani had a flashback of Dani getting ready for an event with Bill. The gown she wore in the flashback was light green and elegant and gorgeous. The light green flashback dress was quite different than the red/orange/lilac swirling print beaded gown that Dani is wearing to Nicole's anniversary party.   But there was clearly the show's intention to have the Dupree women (except for Nicole) wearing shades of red.   I love Anita but the red gown that she's wearing to the anniversary party -- not flattering.
    • I think you can find them here https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/OLTL What's there is recaps from SOD at the times it shows which is usually from way back up till 2003. Most if not all of this is due to Matt Smith who you may recall from his AW playlists on YoutTube. 
    • Party wardrobe color theme: Good Queen Nicole is in a solid gold gown. The other Dupree women (plus Smitty) are wearing shades of red/pink (with purple accents) -- Anita, Dani, Chelsea, Kat, in dresses. -- Smitty in white shirt and maroon jacket. (did not see Naomi?) "The help" Eva and Mona are in black. Antagonist queen Leslie/Dana in a black/gold gown. The men (except for Smitty) are wearing black. Ted - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (Ted's jacket was shiny with back polka dots on black background) Vernon - black turtleneck, white dress shirt over it, black jacket (no tie). Andre - black T-shirt, gold chain, black jacket. Martin - black shirt, black tie, black jacket. Dr. Carlton Fitzgerald - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (did not see Jacob?) I didn't see Naomi and Jacob at the party, but perhaps they arrive later? The evening is not over yet.
    • Tate seems to love throwing punches now

      I enjoyed his scenes with Johnny. Both of their perspectives make perfect sense to me and are completely relatable. There’s no right or wrong person in this situation and I like that. LH  does pretty well when Tate is angry too, but I also liked the way that he comforted Johnny in the end. Days is finally remembering that they’re cousins. And, Johnny looked hot in the beginning   Btw, Johnny going to work for Xander? That could be interesting. And, also can cause some more animosity between him and EJ.  And again, Marlena/Belle were great. Scenes like theirs really seem to be commonplace under Paula/Jeanne and I couldn’t be happier that they are. It’s helps us get a much better understanding of these characters and why they do the things that they do and feel the way that they feel. Marlena supporting Belle was a bit of surprise, considering her insane reaction when she walked in on EJ and Belle, but I also feel that it’s totally in character for her, both as a psychiatrist and as Belle’s mother.  As for Sophia and Amy… I miss the first Sophia lol but I can’t help but think that Amy suddenly being so nice is foreshadowing of something. Either that, or Paula/Jeanne aren’t biased against her
    • @alwaysAMC Great mini-review as always.  That Gilly story is...certainly one I could not forget... I imagine a number of viewers were shocked with the temporary recast. It was revealed in the soap magazines, as was the news about Frank Beaty's breakdown, I think. I think Wolf had some statements or an interview at the time but very little. I wish someone could interview him. He did a good job under extremely tough circumstances.  For some reason I have a vague memory of him in the Marian getup but that's probably not right.  I'm glad you have appreciated the material with Susan after a shaky start. I always enjoyed her, and she was the only love interest I liked Nick with.
