THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Eric Kicks Sheila Out Of The Mansion … But Watch Out!
Courtesy/CBS
On Thursday’s episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, the tables were turned, and it was Sheila (Kimberlin Brown) on the receiving end of some machinations as Quinn (Rena Sofer), Eric (John McCook) and, yes, Mateo (Francisco San Martin) revealed to Ms. Carter that they all figured out her plan to bust up Quinn and Eric’s marriage, and it has backfired. So much so, that Eric has finally told Sheila to leave the premises and to get out of Los Angeles, altogether.
This all comes to fruition after Quinn informs Sheila she will be always be Mrs. Eric Forrester! When Mateo appears. Sheila tells the masseuse/estate manager to reveal to Eric that Quinn crossed the line with him! Mateo shocks Sheila telling Eric that he was hired by her to seduce Quinn. A regretful Mateo, apologizes to Eric. Quinn triumphantly revels in the fact that Sheila was the one who got played.
Suddenly, it dawns on Sheila that Eric knew all along! Eric asks Sheila, “How does it feel to be tricked?” Then goes on to say, everything she just tried to manipulate is very ‘old school’ Sheila; she hasn’t changed. Eric wants her out of his life and his house, pronto! Finally, Eric spews the truth that Sheila is just as devious as ever. Sheila tries to explain away all of her lies, in that, she didn’t think Quinn was worthy of him. However, Quinn proved her wrong. Next. Sheila speaks to Eric alone, and exits with “I’m going to miss you … my husband … my ex-husband.”
Once she exits outside, Sheila is startled to find Quinn who orders her off the property. Quinn’s parting words are, “Goodbye Sheila. Goodbye forever.” Now alone, Sheila turns to the mansion door and lets out a “Sheila-esque” laugh! Looks, like she is really going to go psycho now on Eric and Quinn!
So, what did you think of the showdown scenes? Are you glad Eric finally told Sheila to leave the mansion? What will be Sheila’s next move? Comment below!
Any scenes with sheila I love because she is never up to any good. As for that tag laugh sheila did after Quinn walked into the mansion, it’s about time we got to see Sheila at her dastardly best. Hopefully that means more airtime for Sheila and leads us to Genoa City so Lauren can find out her arch nemesis is alive.
Good to see someone else who appreciates Sheila. Kimberlyn Brown is one of the best villain actors in the history of daytime. However I think this story was rushed and mishandled from the start.
This latest conspiracy with Mateo was all done wrong and far too implausible.
But the Sheila vs Quinn rivalry cant end here. Its even better than Lauren vs Sheila on YR. Im hoping that there is another crossover to YR as well.
The original crossover is why I started watching BB in the first place.
That Hand That Rocks the Cradle angle was brilliant.
I hope Brad Bell gets his act together and gives this legendary character and legacy actress the kind of story they both deserve!
So happy to see Quinn and Eric united and kick Sheila to the curb. Glad Eric took his blinders off to see Sheila hasn’t changed. Now, burn that Sheila portrait!!!!
Does Kimberlin have ANYTHING in her acting arsenal than that breathy, menacing whisper? It was eerily entertaining circa 1991-1992, but 25 years and several pointless returns later, it has worn thin. Her presence always guarantees the potential for bat shit crazy drama, and hopefully it will get to that point. If this story has been ill conceived, especially with the glaring, dangling plot point that Lauren thought she killed Sheila 10 years ago in Genoa City. When telling the return of an epic character like Sheila, who was so prominent on both shows, the 2 shows should have gotten together, and wrote one hell of a huge mystery. Who was the Phyllis doppelgänger? Why Phyllis? How did Sheila get out of that? They could have had crossovers and intertwined story in a way that soaps haven’t done since Linda Dano blazed through all the ABC soaps. Having Sheila simply return, still pining for 80 year old Eric is kind of limp and rehashed.
John McCook is 73 and I don’t think he’s “80” in the show. Even if he were, shouldn’t even be a factor. Whether it be obsession or true love…one can “pine” for someone they once loved throughout their lives. Shouldn’t be a negative factor. Aside from that, THIS not-80-year old is dashing, charming, handsome, kind and generous. Not too big a stretch to think a woman would pine for him…
I do think it’s funny though, the throwback music they use in this show. Compared to GH, B&B is a relic in the music department. The kissing/sex scenes between Wyatt and Katie are always accompanied by corny music as is the “diabolical” looks that Sheila gives. Reminds me of Dark Shadows music…Waaaaay too over the top.
I do like the show, though. Gorgeous scenery, actors and dramatic, soapy families, friends, relationships.
As for Sheila; I thought she was dones. I guess her crazy has just begun…again.
Obviously the creative teams see that stupid angle for the garbage it was and they’ve decided to sweep it under the rug and ignore it. I for one am glad they did. The problem with soaps is that over the years all of them at one point have gotten off track and written stupid plots that we would all rather they had not.
But viewers just wont let go. This is fiction. The first thing you learn in fiction writing is that you have creative license to play around with facts. The trick is to do it without insulting your audience’s intelligence.
But sadly the soaps often fail at that. But as viewers we have to realize that again this is fiction. We cant take any of this make believe as plausible fact. When the writers decided to revisit a story but leave out some of the baggage we have to just go with it and move on.
One would think in the case of Sheila’s doppelganger that would be easy to do. All fans of Kimberlyn Brown revolted when her notorious role was given to Michelle Stafford. But now the powers that be have come back to their sense and Kim is back in the role that made her famous. So why not keep the dust bunnies hidden firmly under the run and move on! Lol. SMH
Please don’t let Sheila come to Genoa City.
She’s more redundant and boring than my washer machine’s spin cycle.
L-O-L
Hope she’s gone for good this time. SO over this. The show is only 20 minutes long because of the ads and story lines boring. It needs help and more time besides. Nice to see Quinn and Eric back together though.
TOTALLY ENJOYED YESTERDAYS EPISODE….GREAT DAY WHEN YOU HAVE SHEILA,QUINN AND ERIC ! LET THE GAMES BEGIN!
The whole evil Sheila thing has been overplayed and become very boring. A fast forward when she shows up. Talk about beating a dead horse with every repeated line she speaks. She needs to go to jail for bribery.
I agree Over done. Give us some new stuff.
I loved it, but I worry about where they’re going to go. I feel like they brought her back in such a way that she could be around for a long time. However, with her run for office, they’re going to have to write her off (due to equal time rules for candidates). I just hope they end it like this week’s episode, where it’s open-ended. There’s so much they could explore with her children etc. if they don’t paint her into a corner before her exit.
The trouble with this show is they like to repeat anything that worked well in the past and it doesn’t have to be just plot lines that get recycled but camera work. The well worn montages of Steffy and Liam romance for one and now Shelia looking straight in the camera and smiling in a sinister way– the first time they did it it was gold, now it just cliche and is meaningless, because as of this date Shelia has been as menacing as mouse compare to the Shelia of old
I just think it’s over-the-top corny/funny when she smiles like that, Mary SF. I can’t imagine that “style” of looking into the camera and that melodramatic music in the background on GH. SUCH different shows! While I enjoy B&B for its characters, families, stunning visuals…there is a lot more going on at GH! (And though people complain about that, I think it keeps the show fresh.)
Y-e-p…same old Sheila…lol.
The latest ratings are out for the week of October 26-30, 2026 and the big takeaways include: that CBS daytime’s Beyond the Gates was separated by only 23,000 viewers behind third place (of the soaps) General Hospital! For the last several weeks, Beyond the Gates has been closing the gap on this year’s winner for Outstanding Daytime Drama Series, and continuing to best GH in the key demos.
According to the latest Nielsen ratings breakdown from Soap Opera Network, the final week of October brought Beyond the Gates 1.790 million on average tuning-in and the show set a season high in total viewers. Meanwhile, General Hospital hit a new season low! The long-running ABC soap had 1.813 million for the week, and once again the series did not go over the 2 million mark.
Meanwhile, in the key Women 18-49 demo, Beyond the Gates was firmly ahead of GH with a rating share of 0.21, while General Hospital had 0.17 rating share.Then, in the key Women 25-54 demo, Beyond the Gates was once again ahead of the ABC soap with a ratings share for that demo at 0.30 while GH came in with 0.26.

MORE BY THE NUMBERS
In addition and comparatively, Beyond the Gates +22,000 viewers week-to-week, and had the largest gains in viewership year-to-year in daytime TV with +267,000 from this in 2025.. However, General Hospital seems to be going in reverse. The show was down -56,000 viewers week-over-week and down -22,000 year-over-year .
BEYOND THE GATES
Let’s take a look at some of the storylines that had people tuning-in to Beyond the Gates during the ratings week:
Hayley (Marquita Goings) attempted a massive shocker regarding her pregnancy and tried to use it to extract money from Bill Hamilton (Timon Kyle Durrett). Although, Bill saw right through her game, he demanded a paternity test, and made it clear he has no intention of raising the child—planning instead to pay her off to take the baby and leave. Meanwhile, Hayley confided her plan to her cousin Randy (Maurice P. Kerry).
Jacob Hawthorne (Jibre Hordges) and Naomi Hamilton (Arielle Prepetit) clashed over Jacob’s ongoing investigation into The Impaler, causing significant strain in their marriage. At the same time, Smitty (Mike Manning) considered taking matters into his own hands—including potentially heading to Mexico for evidence—while Martin Richardson (Brandon Claybon) worried about what comes next.

GENERAL HOSPITAL
Over at General Hospital for the ratings period, the story served up included:
Carly (Laura Wright) and Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) teamed up to investigate what really happened to Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna). Later, Danny (Asher Antonyzyn) leads them to Jack’s dead body.
Jude (Wil Traval) dropped a bombshell claim to Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn); that he is Phoebe’s father, while Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) and Chase (Josh Swickard) signed their divorce papers.
Then, Danny caught Rocco (Finn Carr) and Scout (Kayden Brenna Tokarski) sharing a kiss, plus the shocking return of Heather Webber (Alley Mills) capped the week.
Now the questions become; without having much promotional synergy in the ABC day-part to draw more eyeballs it is not helping but hurting General Hospital. It seems Beyond the Gates is also a benefactor of a one-two-three punch of CBS soaps (Y&R, B&B and BTG) and promotion.
However, that still doesn’t take away the fact that Beyond the Gates is close to besting GH in all ratings category as they go head-to-head in some markets across the country.
So, are you excited to see Beyond the Gates climb in the ratings? Are you concerned for General Hospital? Do you think they can stave off Beyond the Gates in total viewers or will the upstart soap overtake them in the next ratings report? Share your thoughts in the comment section.
Antonio Sabáto Jr., the former Jagger Cates of General Hospital and GH: Night Shift, and the former Dante Damiano of The Bold and the Beautiful has issued his first public statement since the incident involving his son, Jack’s arrest in Alaska for a fatal hit-and-run.
Jack is the son of Sabáto Jr. and Oscar-nominated actress Virginia Madsen, and according to court documents obtained by KTUU Jack, was allegedly driving a white Chevy Tahoe when he hit and killed Carl Simmonds, 42, near an intersection in Anchorage around 5:35 a.m. on Monday, November 9.
The reports indicated that Jack fled the scene — but later decided to called the cops to say he hit “something” that “suddenly appeared in the road” while he was “doing late-night DoorDashing.”

Now, Antonio has taken to his Instagram breaking his silence on the situation, sharing, “At this time, my family and I are navigating an extremely sensitive and deeply personal matter.”
He added, “As a father, my love for my children remains unconditional, and my priority is the well-being of my family. We ask that the public and members of the media honor our privacy during this difficult time and keep us all in your thoughts and prayers.”
The soap alum concluded, “I also wish to extend my heartfelt condolences to the family and loved ones of the gentleman who tragically lost his life. My thoughts and prayers are with them as well. We sincerely appreciate your compassion, understanding, and respect for the privacy of everyone affected.”
Jack Sabáto was arraigned in court on Tuesday, November 10 with bail set at $5,000, and a no-driving order and the potential of $5,000 penalty fees if he fails to attend future court appearances.
Antonio is the father to Jack, 34, daughter, Mina Sabato, 24 and son, Antonio Sabáto III, 15.

Days of our Lives long-running cast member James Reynolds revealed on the November 10 edition of Entertainment Tonight that he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and his character of Abe Carver will now be going through an on-screen Parkinson’s battle as well.
Speaking with ET’s Nischelle Turner, the 80-year-old actor and Daytime Emmy winner shared how he attempted to hide the warning signs dating back to 15-20 years ago when he would have, “What they call the hallucinations. My wife (Lissa) would say, ‘You were hitting me last night in bed,’ and I would say, ‘What?!’ I was having these really horrible dreams.” Reynolds also added that he realized falling out of bed was an early symptom of Parkinson’s too.
Discussing the on-going tremors that have become more noticeable over time especially in hands, James shared that when he finally told the Days of our Lives cast they were nothing but “extraordinarily helpful and supportive.”

SCREEN LIFE TO MIRROR REAL LIFE
Now with DAYS about to launch into Abe’s Parkinson’s storyline, Reynolds hopes that he can turn his experience into something positive by encouraging others facing the disease to keep fighting. During the sit-down, Reynolds co-star Jackée Harry (Paulina Price) recalls her reaction to learning of Reynolds’ real-life diagnosis and how she has continued to search for new treatments to inform James about.
Although Parkinson’s disease currently has no cure, there are medications and treatments can help those manage symptoms and improve quality of life. The condition progresses at a different pace from individual to individual.
As discussed in his conversation with ET, Reynolds cited Michael J. Fox and Alan Alda as two high-profile celebrities who have brought awareness to the disease.
