B&B’s Kimberlin Brown Delivers the ‘Power Performance of the Week’

Last week, The Bold and the Beautiful continued the fall-out of Sheila’s (Kimberlin Brown) shooting spree.  First, she shot her son, Finn, (Tanner Novlan) when he ran in at the last minute and took a bullet meant for his wife, Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood).

Next, to keep Steffy from calling for help, Sheila fired a bullet at Steffy.  Afterwards, Sheila made the scene in the back alley of Il Guardino look like a robbery to cover her tracks.

What followed were five episodes of the aftermath, and the redeeming part of them were the performance of Kimberlin Brown. Finally, B&B made the stakes high for the twisted Sheila – she shot and killed her son and has to hope Steffy never wakes up from her coma and rats her out.

Brown was at her best in scenes with herself, standing in front of the mirror angrily brushing her hair after the gunshots were fired, wiping blood on her lips, crying on her bed in her hotel room, or replaying Steffy’s angry words at her, before she fired the fatal shot that killed Finn.

Throughout the week, Sheila had some key scenes with other characters including Deacon (Sean Kanan), who comes to tell her that Finn is dead (although she already knows, of course) but Brown played it in a complex way.  First, you saw Sheila’s true emotional pain and second, she had to cover up the fact that she already knew about this horrific crime.

Once at the hospital wanting to see her son in the hospital morgue, Sheila runs into a road block.  Li (Naomi Matsuda), the mother who raised Finn, won’t allow it, which only gets Sheila more unhinged.

In the latest Soap Opera Digest, B&B’s executive producer and head writer, Brad Bell said on the plot twist: “Sheila is best when she’s in a corner and lethal.”  It seemed that last week much of soap Twitterverse also agreed that Brown has been the standout in this story twist.

For all the reasons stated above, Michael Fairman TV names Kimberlin’s work in these scenes, The Power Performance of the Week.

So, what did you think of Kimberlin’s performances as Sheila shot and killed Finn, and put Steffy in critical condition? Where do you think the story will go from here? Comment below.

I keep wishing there was another twist in this whole thing like somebody’s having a bad dream. I just can’t believe Sheila killed her own son even if he wasn’t the intended target. This has been very emotional to watch and the players in this story have been on top of their game…ESPECIALLY Kimberlin!!

after all these years… it’s difficult to “consider” Kimberlin a regular/contract status… be that as it may.. i feel like @CBS , the show just CUT her lifeline ???? I enjoyed that she had some thing to “call her own” which is always vital to any actor… PLUS I was actually enjoying “Kimberlin” be it with Deacon.. and coulda woulda shoulda WITH HER SON ! so it smarts that John, is OUT… BAM … kinda oughta nowhere. it’s always an odd thing, once the emmy written story has concluded, ie: her drug addiction, and the tango with John, goes by the wayside… which makes me angry sometimes… at the expense of wasting so much airtime to prop Steffy.. actors are hired to “support” and this is probably the catalyst for Kimberlin. so where does she go now ? hatred filled over the top ? it will be interesting to see how much chemistry nuTAYLOR and Ridge, bring… AND, i’m coming from other characters who can and do add to this show. I watch Ridge and think… he’s just not that rung up on his work… and i’ve been wanting to see sparks FLY off the handle with Taylor. any way… that being said… it’s always going to be about @Thomas, oh! so glad he sparks with mummy .. that’s all Krista Allen really needed… LOL i wonder what she must think of her “onscreen” son HE’S INCREDIBLE va va voom turn on the doozy

KB doing a great job but I have to admit I was wrong KA is a good recast and she is hilarious on Twitter . She seems to be liked and getting along well with the cast still not happy about where I think this is going with the dreadful triangle of Hope Steffy and waffle man Liam but until then I’m going to enjoy KB etc

Hi,
Years after years, I’m fascinated by the villain Sheila Carter, and what her twisted psychopathic mind is capable to do to entertain her obsession for the Forrester family. I love the way kimberlin Brown gives life to the character. But…. Yes here is a but… I think that is time for Sheila to disapeard. How??
By the same way she killed. Gun shot to blow up her brain. Good bye Sheila, I wish you a pleasant journey to hell….

Malko Perrot

Malko…What a horrible suggestion to end Sheila. Makes you no better than her, and a terrible example. Not needed in soaps, or real life for that matter.

Kimberlin is the terror when she is holding a gun in her hands. She’s the devil when she shoots. Sheila is a psychopath, divinely played by Kimberlin Brown, who might love the character of Sheila.
OK. My question is when Sheila will die?

I admire kimberlin Brown, the best villain of the world of soap opera. The best brunette in the world of blondes.

And the repetitive scenario match again, Sheila will go to jail. Finn woke up from death because he found the exam table of the morgue too cold, Sheila will escape from jail
QUIZZ who will be the next Sheila’s obsession? Who will be killed by Sheila and return to life. Yes it is possible, because all is possible in the B&B

Steffy and Carter

After taking a second pregnancy test on the Friday, September 12 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) freaks out ever more when it come back positive, too. Leading her to shriek, multiple times over, “Oh my God! Oh my God! I’m pregnant!”

As previously reported, CBS and The Bold and the Beautiful have already confirmed that in the story, the baby Steffy is carrying is Carter’s (Lawrence Saint-Victor) which kicks-off their 40th season of storytelling. However, could there be a twist down the line that it’s really Finn’s (Tanner Novlan)?

On Friday’s episode, Carter gets a text from his wife, Daphne (Murielle Hilaire) telling him she wants to talk more about surrogacy later, since she cannot carry Carter’s child, and the couple was exploring ways for them to have a baby. Suddenly, Carter flashes back to waking up next to Steffy on the couch in the office after they had sex the night before in their drunken stupor.

CARTER DEVISES A PLAN

Then, Steffy comes whirling into the office demanding to talk to Carter right away. Steffy is informing Carter that she has to tell Finn about their night together more than ever! A confused Carter asked her what changed, when they agreed to keep their one night together a secret? Carter tells her if she reveals what happened between them, it will tear about all of their lives.

Carter thinks nothing will come of their “mistake” if they keep their mouth shut. Steffy responds, “You’re wrong.” She goes on to explain that she’s pregnant! That declaration stuns Carter and we fade to black.

However, it was the preview for the action next week on The Bold and the Beautiful, that aired at the end of Friday’s episode and is now all over B&B’s social media that is the real tell-tale sign of where this story is heading.

B&B SPOILERS

In a scene airing next week, Carter says to Steffy, “I have a way out of the situation for all of us!” This comes on the heels of Daphne telling Carter she wishes she knew someone who would be their surrogate. So, putting two and two together, it looks like Carter will come up with the idea to pass Steffy and his baby off as the surrogate child of Carter and Daphne.

Look no further than the official B&B spoilers for episodes airing Monday, September 14- Friday, September 18 and the teaser lines of the Steffy/Carter baby drama to back that up below.

Monday, September 14, Steffy’s news complicates things even more with Carter, while on Tuesday, September 15, 2026  Daphne is hopeful she and Carter will be able to find a surrogate and Carter rushes to stop Steffy. On Wednesday, September 16, Carter makes a passionate plea. and by Thursday, September 17, Daphne can’t believe Carter’s suggestion. Then come Cliffhanger Friday, September 18, Steffy is caught off guard.

So, what do you think how it look to be Carter who originated plan to keep the truth from ever coming out, that he and Steffy had sex, and the best way to do this is for Steffy to be the surrogate for Carter and Daphne’s child? How complicated will the cover-up eventually get? Will Steffy fall in love with the baby making this whole thing untenable for her?

On the Friday, September 11 episode of General Hospital, Jason (Steve Burton) and Britt’s (Kelly Thiebaud) relationship becomes strained to potentially the point of no return.

Things take a turn when an unglued Britt having been traumatized by almost being killed by Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) asks Jason to back her up with the PCPD when she reports Anna for attempted murder.

However, Jason told Britt, he can’t. Jason shares that he does not believe Anna would have gone through with shooting her. Therefore, Britt was not in any real imminent danger. Britt is flabbergasted and hurt that Jason is refusing to tell the police what he actually witnessed for himself on Mount Emerson.

BRITT WANTS BACK UP FROM JASON

Jason counters that he can’t believe that Britt would want Anna punished. or sent to prison, or a mental facility after the trauma she endured while being locked up and mentally tortured while at Wyndemere.

He asks Britt, “How could you even say that you want her locked up or prosecuted for what she did when you knew she was being held prisoner and you did nothing to save her?” Britt is stunned by Jason’s response.

Coming up, official General Hospital spoilers share that on the upcoming Monday, September 14 episode, Jason confides in Carly (Laura Wright), while Britt is stung. In the video preview that aired at the end of the Friday, September 11 episode for this coming Monday, Britt says to Jason, “You don’t believe me. Do you?”

General Hospital head scribes, Chris Van Etten and Elizabeth Korte previously teased in their fall preview of the soap, “Britt and Jason have come a long way and fought a lot of enemies to be together. But the most stubborn obstacle to their happiness isn’t without, it’s within. Decisions Britt made to stay alive while under Cullum’s thumb will come back to haunt her and may prove too difficult for this unlikely couple to survive.”

So, what do you think will happen? Will Jason and Britt break-up over Britt’s lies and Jason’s unwillingness to report Anna’s crime against her? Do you want Jason and Britt to go their separate ways? If they do, will Britt become romantically involved with Dr. Tristan Roberts (Dean Geyer) ? If so, who do you pair Jason with? Anyone? Weigh-in via the comment section.

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Steffy is Shaken to the Core, ‘Oh My God! I’m Pregnant!’

Steffy

On today’s Thursday, September 10 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) discovers she’s pregnant, after taking a home pregnancy test, that will launch a new story arc that will remain front and center for the show in the months ahead.

The life-changing story kicks off the B&B’s 40th season which officially began on September 8. In it, Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) is the biological father of Steffy’s unborn child from their drunken night together when both endured turbulent times in their marriages.

Previously, Carter had trouble with Daphne (Murielle Hilaire), when she initially walked out on him, because she could not carrying his child. Meanwhile, Steffy broke up with Finn (Tanner Novlan) while in Monaco over Finn’s mother Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown) showing up, who once tried to kill her.

Fast-forward, Carter and Steffy made a pact that no one will ever need to know about their drunken night together, but now with Steffy becoming pregnant it changes everything. Making matters all the worse, Daphne views Steffy as her best friend, in fact, Daphne and Carter have been talking about having a child via surrogacy. While Finn had showed the couple how to start the process of finding a surrogate, Daphne felt just choosing a random person to carry Carter’s child is so impersonal. She would rather have it be someone she knows.

It does not take a scientist to predict … that somehow Steffy will carry the baby pretending to be the surrogate, when she its biological mother, and along the way, the questions become, does she keep the whole thing somehow a secret to herself? Doe Carter find out at some point? Stay tuned to see how this story reveals itself.

At its root, this is a major storyline for Wood, who has already won three Daytime Emmy Lead Actress Awards in her 18 years with The Bold and the Beautiful. In that time, her character of Steffy has experienced multiple pregnancies, given birth to two children, Kelly with Liam (Scott Clifton) as the father, and Hayes with Finn as the father, and endured a miscarriage.

So, what did you think of Steffy getting confirmation she is pregnant and looking mortified when she found out? What will she do next? Will she tell Carter? Will Daphne come to Steffy to ask her to be her surrogate, which Steffy may think will be the answers to her prayers, only for the truth to come out later, or falling in love with the baby since its hers to be begin with? Share your thoughts and theories for this major story for Jacqueline MacInnes Wood, via the comment section.
