Kimberlin Brown has been entertaining The Bold and the Beautiful fans as Sheila for over three decades. The character has spent most of her years in Los Angeles terrorizing the Forresters and the Logans. While she’s become the most-hated woman in Los Angeles, fans have nothing but love for her.
Key Takeaways
- Sheila’s journey originated on The Young and the Restless before joining B&B.
- Although the character’s committed many crimes, she’s calmed down in recent years.
- Fans are rooting for Sheila in her love triangle with Deacon and Taylor.
Sympathy For The Devil
Sheila’s journey into becoming an iconic soap villain began in 1990 on Y&R. The nurse became a rival of the show’s heroine, Lauren Fenmore (Tracey Bregman). Her first crime was kidnapping Lauren’s son Scotty (Daniel Hall) and passing him off as her own.
However, Sheila’s crime was eventually exposed, but before Sheila could be arrested, a fire broke out at her home, and she was presumed dead. In actuality, Sheila was alive and fled to Los Angeles, where she’s continued her reign of terror.
Sheila’s crime spree in L.A. includes poisoning Stephanie (Susan Flannery) and shooting Finn (Tanner Novlan) and Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood). Sheila continues to keep fans entertained with her actions. Although she’s a bad person, some fans can’t help but love her.
In an interview with Michael Fairman TV, Brown explained why she thinks Sheila gets so much love from fans. “I think why the audience has been able to sympathize with Sheila for so long, and more often than not, is because everything I do, regardless of, of how crazy, there has to be a reason why Sheila’s doing that.”
Heartbreak For Sheila
Recently, Sheila’s been receiving a lot of sympathy lately regarding her marriage to Deacon (Sean Kanan). While she thinks everything is fine and dandy, unbeknownst to her, Deacon is in love with Taylor (Rebecca Budig).
Deacon and Taylor have made it known that they love each other and want to be together. So, it’s only a matter of time before Sheila finds out the truth.
Although many people aren’t looking forward to Sheila going off the deep end, in this case, they encourage it. Many fans thought Deacon was the perfect husband to Sheila and helped her improve her life. Now, he’s proving to be a jerk by breaking Sheila’s heart.
Aside from Deacon, it seems like everyone is against Sheila. Hope (Annika Noelle) and Deke (Harrison Cone) have continually expressed disapproval of their father’s marriage.
While Taylor and Deacon are acting like the good guys in this triangle, it’s Sheila who’s getting the support. There’s no telling what she’ll do when the truth comes out, but fans can’t wait for her reaction. And no matter what happens, they’ll love her and maybe even take her side.
