Kimberlin Brown Returns to The Bold and the Beautiful with a Bombshell … Sheila is Finn’s Bio-Mom!
The rumors have proven to be true! You can watch what happens for more on this exciting return on tonight’s Entertainment Tonight segment (see below). However, all-time supervillain Sheila Carter, played by soap fan favorite, Kimberlin Brown is baaacck and on The Bold and the Beautiful.
As viewers recently learned, Finn (Tanner Novlan) was adopted and Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) and she vowed to love him no matter who his bio parents were! But how will she feel when she finds out that his mother is actually Sheila Carter who has wreaked havoc on the lives of the Forrester family and everyone else in Los Angeles?
Soap Opera Digest spoke with Kimberlin on her exciting return where she shared: “When I found out that Finn was Sheila’s son, I was excited — I mean, terribly excited.” Brown added on this next return to B&B, “Get ready, because the best is yet to come!’
Steffy and Finn’s nuptials are set for this Thursday August 5th and this Friday August 6th, where plenty of drama will play out. How will Finn deal with finding out who is biological mother really is? Is there still a big twist on this yet to come? Stay tuned!
So, excited to know that Sheila is back on the canvas as The Bold and the Beautiful and Kimberlin will be back on our-screens? Comment below.
But first check out ET’s exclusive at the wedding nuptials of Steffy and Finn and the return of Sheila and then our joint interview with Brown and Tracey E. Bregman of Y&R last year on The Michael Fairman Channel for more on Sheila’s notorious history!
At long last! Sheila! My favourite character in B&B history who I can always count on to bring the action in the midst of many boring characters (Liam, Hope etc) Please keep Kimberlin and write for her long-term, Mr. Bell.
Oh, my God!!! It’s about time!!! So many things didn’t get resolved when she was around this last time. I expect this time that Lauren will find out she didn’t kill Sheila like she thought she had all those years ago…and I also expect her to really let Eric have it for not telling her that Sheila was alive. I have waited for this for so long!!!
This rumor has been buzzing, for months. Kimberlin Brown will kick ass, again as Sheila Carter, Grainger, Forrester, Warwick. Finns mom is Sheila Carter, who is Finns dad? We will find out soon. Kimberlin signed a contract. Which is good news, don’t blow this producers and writers. Kimberlin is a wonderful actress, and looks terrific. Kimberlin is 60 years old.
Amen.
Scott Grainger from Y&R
I am disappointed to have this revelation spoiled by the headline this morning. On yesterday’s episode they hadn’t revealed who it was yet… But this may mean that my theory that Finn is a FORRESTER and therefore related to Steffy may be true?
If Finn is in fact a Forrester, the only possible father would be Eric, making Finn Steffi’s ADOPTIVE uncle.Lest we forget that Ridge is not Eric’s biological son, he is a Maroni.So no incest here. Sheila would be Steffi’s mother-in-law from hell.
Steffy is not a Forrester by blood either
Steffy is not a Forrester.
When was Sheila giving birth to all these children?
Isn’t the reason she stole Lauren’s because she could no longer have any of her own?
Never mind that … Sheila supposedly died on Young and the Restless. Eric and Lauren are friends. Will anyone ever tell Lauren that she didn’t kill Sheila?
JJ
Sheila and Lauren were very young waaaay back then and that was her first baby and it died so she thought she’d take Lauren’s baby as well as her husband.
What an awesome twist! It’s great to have Sheila back after there were so many loose ends with her previous visit, and she will always be one of B&B’s best villains. Hopefully they recast Sheila’s daughter, Diana, who was born on the show about two decades ago. Would love to see Sheila and her children wreak havoc for a while.
–
Now the question is, who’s Finn’s biological father? It could be Eric, since technically Steffy and Eric are not related (since Ridge is not his son), so it wouldn’t be an incestual relationship. B&B likes to flirt with that topic a lot given how everyone intermarries and has children with several members of the same family.
I totally agree they cut to close to the incestuous line. I’m still trying to find the plastic surgeon who made Sheila look like Phyllis, and returned her to look like Sheila.
Probably the same prop dept.that did all the masks for DOOL.
Jimmy
I think Diana is the child she had with Massamo Marone. But what about Mary that she had by James Warwick,oh and those two teens that were supposedly her kids that terrorized Genoa City for a while. Now Finn makes five, wow, didn’t realize she had that many kids and now Iam dying to know who the real father is. His adoptive father, Jack is clearly hiding another secret, so maybe he is the bio dad. So many possibilities here.
In a conversation Shelia mentioned to Jack that she will blackmail him ,telling that he is Finns biological father
Let’s pretend after Bill Bell’s death, nothing about Sheila “happened” on Y&R. Keep her on B&B and cross Lauren over forgetting all the stupid stories in between. It’s been done before.
I hope she is not wasted this time and it’s not a short time stunt . KB is old school a good actress I hope he does not waste her like the last time is it a far out stretch probably when was this kid born but it makes good soapy because nobody does a better Gillian then KB just to see her Fock that eyebrow is worth it all ! Good luck KB I don’t watch like I use to but wish you well.
Oops !! Villian and cock the eyebrow ! Sorry
Kay! You didn’t really help yourself here… 🙂 But I do appreciate your larger point about Sheila.
I didn’t intend too it was a honest feeling Brad does not write well he treats people like crap and sorry I am not going to deny that . He has had hundreds of great actors on this show and he gets bored and poof they are gone!! Please tell me this so called romance between Ridge and Brooke where is their offspring ?? Where are all her offspring??
Love to see a kid turn up from Taylors missing years
Dawn Kerr, Do you mean from that Sheik or whatever he was that whisked her off to never, never land?
I’m so tired of the evil Sheila drama. I may have to stop watching because I just don’t want to see this stuff rehashed again. Who will she kidnap now? How many Sheila’s are there? Who’s marriage will she break up? Bla, bla, bla.. tired of it.
KB has such a limited emotional range as an actress. She is so joyless and rigid. Her character has only one speed – psycopath. The actors playing Quinn and Brooke can out act her any day of the week. I just don’t see what everyone else sees in her.
Steffy is not Forrester,she is a Morone. Would be great if Eric is Finn’s dad!!! Regardless Sheila is my favorite character of all time!!!
This could have been the perfect ending to the wedding on Fri. If they hadn’t advertised it first, with Sheila lurking in the darkness in the guest house. Who even knew there was one.I thought the cabin Hope and Liam live in was previously used for guests. This is not important, just one of the crazy things one notices and says what??
Sooooo….Finn just blindly accepts this woman sneaking up on him and making this announcement? He’s a freaking doctor….wouldn’t a DNA test enter his mind?
Chaz
You’ld think. Hope he has more brains when it comes to his patients.
Steffy, you go girl! Someone finally got her with that slap, when she couldn’t fight back. The way she smiled after, was when I wished I could have slapped it right off that evil face.
She’s still singing that old song, ” I’ve changed, Iam not like that anymore, Iam sorry for having done that, etc.”I was not watching at the time she shot Brook and Taylor, I had stopped watching for one reason or another. I’ll have to watch it on Tube. Actually she really upsets me and maybe that’s why I stopped for awhile. Between Y&R and B&B, she’s been given too much screen time for me.
Bravo B&B for bringing back Sheila and the great actress KB! Classic daytime drama by Mr. Bell! I did not know of the sordid past of this character until the flashbacks. Great way to mix it up! The Liam/Hope/Thomas story was getting thin for viewers so this is a welcome surprise. Ratings should soar!
Rosie O’Donnell revealed that she plans to head back to a seat at the table of ABC’s morning talk show The View.
The announcement came during Monday’s episode of The Tangle Podcast where she shared she will participate in “in whatever way they want” her or “just as a guest” for its upcoming 30th season.
The View’s season 30 will kick-off this fall in September. O’Donnell explained, “They’re bringing back all the hosts, I think. And, you know, I’m pretty proud of that show, what it’s become and how it really speaks to the people and to politics.”

ROSIE ON HER PREVIOUS GO-ROUNDS ON THE VIEW
As fans of The View know, O’Donnell famously had two different one-year stints on the talk show in 2007 and again in 2014- 2015. She often feuded with then co-host Elizabeth Hasselbeck.
However, during her discussion with host, Kyle Ridley on The Tangle Podcast, O’Donnell also noted she often had tense moments with longtime moderator and anchor, Whoopi Goldberg.
O’Donnell also expressed, “Many, many people got the short end of the stick there. It was, you know, it was a factory where people were being churned in and out and their tenuous security, nobody got to be calm. It also was a show at the time that was run by a man. A show created by a woman, for women, about women, and the man was deciding what we should talk about. And that didn’t sit right with me, you know.”
Back in 2023, Brooke Shields had asked Rosie on her podcast, Now What? with Brooke Shields, about how she felt on her two stints at The View and all the controversy that surrounded it. Rosie at that time, stated, “I know this, it’s not the best use of my talent to get in a show where I have to argue and defend basic principles of humanity and kindness. It was not something I’d ever do again.”
You can check out the clip with Rosie and Kyle Ridley discussing her return to The View in some form for its upcoming 30th season below.
Then weigh-in: Would you be excited to see Rosie, even for a one-day or a week guest stint on the upcoming celebratory season of The View, or not so much? Let us know via the comment section.

In what could prove to be a massive shake-up ahead, both the TV Academy (ATAS), who presides over the Primetime Emmys, and the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS), who preside over the Daytime Emmys, are in exploratory reunification discussions to merge the two organizations into one.
Both sides received an overwhelming vote and support from their boards to evaluate what a unified Academy could look like. However there is no formal calendar at this juncture for the discussions. In addition, because of the ongoing unification talks that should occur, the TV Academy board has voted to extend all current sitting Governors’ terms by one year so they can see the process through.
Boards at both organizations voted overwhelmingly to evaluate what a unified Academy could make possible: a strong vision for the Academy’s future, more effective thought leadership for the industry, broader service and support for members coast-to-coast, and new momentum and opportunities across the full complement of national Emmy competitions.

AFTER NEARLY 50 YEARS, CAN THE EMMYS BE UNDER ONE BANNER?
In a joint statement, ATAS and NATAS shared, “Television remains the most powerful medium we have to shape culture and prompt conversations that define us—no matter the size of the screen, With the business of television undergoing such a monumental transformation, this is the right moment to explore a reunification of our Academies, providing our members and our industry with a bolder voice advocating for them and a stronger partner to navigate the future with them.”
If the reunification talks continue, this would be the first time since the two Emmy organizations split back on June 30, 1977 that they have tried to come together, all of this after almost three decades of often uneasy and strained tension between the two.
The most recent joint change came in 2022 when a move of the game show categories went from NATAS to ATAS’ and now are in the Primetime Emmys.
Deadline notes that a unification of the two television academies who overall preside over nighttime and daytime programming would be similar how SAG and AFTRA used to represent performers from completely different dayparts of work.
Could the Daytime Emmys finally see some love in primetime and have their major categories televised as part of the annual kudofest every September? Stay tuned.
Meanwhile, the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony will take place live on Monday, September 14th starting at 8:00 p.m. ET / 5:00 p.m. PT and air on NBC and stream on Peacock emanating from the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles. While, the 53rd annual Daytime Emmy Awards will take place on Friday, October 30, time to be announced, live from the Hollywood Palladium and will be streamed on watchtheemmys.tv
The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) is a service organization dedicated to the advancement of the arts and sciences of television and the promotion of creative leadership for artistic, educational and technical achievements within the television industry. It recognizes excellence in television with the coveted Emmy Awards for News & Documentary, Sports, Daytime and Children’s & Family programming, as well as achievements in television Technology & Engineering.
The Television Academy (ATAS) strives to shape and advance the dynamic television landscape; cultivate a diverse, inclusive and accessible professional community; and advocate for the television industry while capturing the spirit of a new generation of content creators and industry professionals. Through innovative programs, publications and events, the Academy and its Foundation foster and empower storytellers. The Academy also celebrates those who excel in the industry recognizing their achievements through awards and accolades, including the renowned Emmy Award. Membership in the Academy is open to working professionals in the television industry.
So, would you like to see the Primetime Emmy and the Daytime Emmys fold into one show if the two unions reached a unification arrangement? Do you hope that after almost 50 years, the two organizations can finally make some serious headway? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.
