"THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL's Sheila Carter — She's Back, but What Does
She Want This Time?"

"Sheila Carter has returned to THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL, and nothing
will ever be the same again! In a shocking Friday cliffhanger twist,
Sheila made her appearance at the end of the June 9 episode. The soap
went to extreme measures to keep the return a secret, keeping actress
Kimberlin Brown disguised while entering and leaving the studio and
keeping her away from prying eyes inside!

"Over the years, Sheila has wreaked havoc on both B&B and THE YOUNG &
THE RESTLESS, but what is she up to this time? Her portrayer promises
fans might be surprised! “She’s actually done her time in prison,”
Brown said to TV Insider, “and is trying really hard to rehabilitate
herself and become a good person.”

"Well, she’s going to have quite a road ahead of her, considering all
of her past crimes. Need a refresher course on Sheila Carter’s rap
sheet? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered!

"Brown made her debut as Sheila on Y&R back in 1990 as a nurse who
became dangerously obsessed with Dr. Scott Grainger. She drugged him
so that she could sleep with him and have his baby, which forced him
to leave Lauren, who was also pregnant at the time. When Sheila’s baby
died, she stole Lauren’s baby. When the horrible truth was revealed,
Lauren confronted Sheila, who was presumed dead in the fire that
erupted during the struggle.

"But Sheila survived and headed over to B&B, where she schemed her way
into the Forrester family by working as Rick’s nanny (after
hospitalizing the original nanny, of course!) and as the company
nurse. Stephanie was furious when Eric fell in love and became engaged
to the newcomer. A jealous Sheila tampered with Brooke’s paternity
test so it would appear Ridge was Bridget’s father, not Eric.

"Discovering that Sheila was alive, Lauren went to LA to confront her
and ruin her relationship with Eric. But when Sheila begged for
forgiveness, Eric actually gave in and the two tied the knot. Shelia
later tried to solidify her marriage with a baby by sleeping with
Connor Davis, but when she shared the “good” news of her pregnancy,
Eric revealed he’d had a vasectomy and demanded a divorce!

"Sheila started seeing a psychiatrist, Jay Garvin, but accidentally
pushed him to his death during a struggle. She also tried to drown
Lauren in a hot tub and imprisoned James Warwick in her basement.
After he escaped and her secrets were exposed, Sheila held the
Forresters and James at gunpoint threatening to kill them for hurting
her. But after she had a change of heart and tried to kill herself,
Sheila was put in a psychiatric hospital.

"She didn’t stay locked up for long, and Sheila soon befriended Maggie
Forrester, though she later framed the woman for poisoning Stephanie
and later nearly choked her to death! Sheila desperately tried to
change her ways to win back James’ love and revealed she was pregnant
with his child. After handing her daughter, Mary, over to James and
Maggie, Sheila befriended Amber Moore and urged the young woman to act
as Mary’s nanny so she could visit her daughter in secret.

"Things got extra complicated when Sheila tried to steal Mary, James
fell in love with Sheila for real, and Maggie tried to murder her
rival! When James and Stephanie became friends, Sheila was overcome
with jealousy and tried to drown the Forrester matriarch. After being
locked up, Sheila escaped from prison, shot Stephanie, kidnapped Mary,
and took off!

"Years later, Sheila returned with her teenage daughter who was now
called Erica Lovejoy, and the girl was shocked to learn the truth
about her mother’s identity and her past crimes. Sheila held Eric and
Taylor hostage, and when Brooke arrived, there was a struggle that
left Brooke shot and Taylor dead (for a while, anyway!). Sheila was
jailed again but escaped with the help of a warden named Sugar. Sheila
kidnapped Ridge and Brooke while they were on their honeymoon in South
America, and when Nick tried to rescue them, she grabbed him as well!
Sheila revealed that she’d had Massimo’s daughter, Diana, and then
disappeared with Sugar!

"Sheila resurfaced again in Genoa City to begin terrorizing Lauren
again by trying to turn her now-adult son Scott against her and
poisoning her. She teamed up with fellow villain Tom, but the cad
betrayed her and Sheila disappeared to get reconstructive surgery. It
was later revealed that Paul had been keeping Sheila prisoner and that
she had made herself look like Phyllis Summers (played by Michelle
Stafford at the time)!

"Disguised as Phyllis, Sheila abducted Phyllis, Summer, and Fen and
Lauren went to their rescue. When Lauren pulled a gun on the
look-alikes, Sheila went to use Summer as a human shield, so Lauren
knew when she fired that she had shot the right Phyllis. Sheila was
pronounced dead at the scene, but clearly, reports of her death were
greatly exaggerated!

"Now that she’s back, what does Sheila want from the Forresters this
time? And will she be crossing over to Y&R to deal with Lauren or
invite her over to Los Angeles? Stay tuned as this surprising story
continues to unfold!"
