THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Sheila To Quinn, "Don't Touch Me! You Do That Again & I Will Snap You In Two!"
Courtesy/CBS
How many of you are beginning to get on the edge of your seats to see just what Sheila (Kimberlin Brown) will have in store for Quinn (Rena Sofer), in what seems to be her deluded quest to win back Eric Forrester (John McCook) on CBS’ The Bold and the Beautiful?
The plot just got juicier when Sheila, who is still lurking around L.A. (even though she said she was leaving), goes back to visit Eric. Upon leaving the mansion she runs into Quinn, who let’s Sheila no under no circumstances is she to see her husband when he is alone in the house.
Quinn fires back, “Do you say that to Brooke? Quinn firmly says, “No” and explains the difference in ex-wives to Sheila, which of course, she won’t accept.
When Quinn tries to escort her off the premises, Sheila breaks away from Quinn and shouts, “Don’t touch me! You do that again and I will snap you in two!”
So it looks like, that yes, Sheila is still the underlying unhinged bad girl, but what will she do next to Quinn? The stage has been set for this rivalry to explode.
Watch the key scene from Monday’s episode of The Bold and the Beautiful after the jump! Then let us know what you think will happen next in the comment section below!
This is so much fun!!
As I’ve stated before, I’ve only been watching B&B for about a year and I really like it! From what I can see (haven’t checked out the entire history), Quinn was basically a conniving, manipulative lunatic who hurt a lot of people in her past ( I know how she hounded Hope and the whacked out stuff she did to Liam…and her literally throwing Deacon off the cliff…so I’d like her to get some payback. LOL…I think my feelings of anger and wanting vengeance for AJ over at GH has crossed over to B&B. Deacon, played by Sean Kanan, was similarly treated unfarily. Quinn tried to kill him, left him for dead…and HE’S the one who’s in jail for trying to extort money from her…with no one believing what she did to him! All this is my way of saying…”bring it on!” Should be a good whacko vs whacko story, though in the end I’m sure Quinn will survive. There’s much story to be told…
“Snap you in two!” LOL. She’s not playin’…
rebecca1, I am a fan of Sean Kanan/AJ Quartermaine, too. Agreed. The characters he plays are unjustly punished when compared to the actions of others.
hey, dmr. I know, right? what’s up with that?!!!
Sheila is so scary!!!!!!!
She lost her edge on the Clinton era.
…..When she was replaced by a real-life villainess who remains to this day and makes Sheila look like a complete amateur in the witchy ways of the world!
Quinn is a novice compared to Sheila– Quinn;s darkness is more an issue with boundaries and impulse control– Sheila’s darkness is intentional and well thought out– it is crazy that thinks everyone else has the problem not them. I have no doubt in a show down Sheila would easily snap Quinn in two– it won’t be much of a battle– but if the two of them ever teamed up against a common foe– that would be scary– LOL
Imagine those two whack jobs against Stephanie! Lmao!!
I suspect that Sheila has been sent to Los Angeles on an ambassadorial mission by Trump to help “make America great again.” Given her villainous status, she fits in perfectly with the current administration. Yet in the process, she will suffer low approval ratings, deny climate change, tell lies virtually every day, bring scorn, disdain, and embarrassment upon our country, and in general wreak havoc in unprecedented, exponential proportions!
Oh, and she will probably have a cat fight or two with Quinn… 🙂
@”Gentleman James”…..Kudos on your clever, creative spin ala Sheila and her possible link to “current events!”…Likewise for your use of mildly(?) biting humor to express your obvious frustrations, especially since you managed to do so in an artful manner without directly referencing those of us who have a differing view on this subject…thank you for that refreshing change of pace!!!! As for content, well, let’s just say we must agree to disagree, and leave it at that. I still got a huge kick and hearty laugh from reading your post, my friend! Always good to see your name pop up here at MFSoaps! Take care……..
Hello there, Shay, and thanks a million for your reply! Yes, even though we may disagree on politics, you interpreted my post in the way it was intended: for humor’s sake. So thanks for not only understanding but respectfully giving me the benefit of the doubt!
A thought just occurred to me… Sheila could have an accomplice for her misdeeds: perhaps Antonio Sabato, Jr. as Jagger. She could snuggle up to him on the back of his motorcycle as they terrorize the residents of LA… Wouldn’t THAT be something?! Take care, Friend!
You are more than welcome, James! How about if Antonio arrives in “Forresterland” as the administration’s “Director of Immigration for Foreign Underwear Models?” It is a role for which he would be suitably experienced, and would be sufficiently “tongue-in-cheek” enough without being nasty!!! As for an accomplice for Sheila’s latest “crime wave of insanity,” I would look no further than good old reliable bad boy Deacon, since Sean K. is another soap star who supported our president during the campaign (during one of his appearances on FoxNews….) Furthermore, I should imagine if “Deacon” were needed to fill a space in the new government, he could always offer his expertise to the ATF, as he does seem to know and like his firearms! Hey, just a thought…..Anyway, I believe good-natured humor should be a universal thing and not limited to just one side of the political spectrum, especially since some of my favorite posters here are decidedly opposite to my own views, but I still truly enjoy their creative and witty contributions! You know, awhile back, I thought that it would be a nifty, election-based theme “parlor game” on one of these threads to opine which soap characters (not the actors themselves….) we suspected of belonging to what political party…just an exercise in fun to test our powers of perception based upon their other personality traits, and it might have actually worked before last November. But now? Not so much….Lol. At any rate, it was a delight to “reconnect” with you, James….Always a true pleasure! Later, my friend.
Hi again, Shay! Just a quick reply for now. What you wrote was too good for me to ignore… First, thanks for enlightening me about Sean K.’s politics.
I definitely like your plot twists. It would fit into B&B’s scheme to have Deacon join forces with Sheila versus Quinn. Sabato’s return to underwear modeling would be a refreshing change — and in his wheelhouse! Loved your “tongue-in-cheek” reference! Your “parlor game” would be a fun exercise.
The pleasure is mine, Shay. Take care.
Oh, Jamesj75. I enjoyed your post, too, but because we ARE on the same page! I agree with your sentiments, “Given her villainous status, she fits in perfectly with the current administration. Yet in the process, she will suffer low approval ratings, deny climate change, tell lies virtually every day, bring scorn, disdain, and embarrassment upon our country, and in general wreak havoc in unprecedented, exponential proportions!” Perfect! Because it so aptly describes what’s going on in reality.
As far as our soap actors, while it’s extremely disappointing to find out that their “character” doesn’t match their “character”…that’s the beauty in being able to suspend our disbelief! Ordinarily, I wouldn’t be disappointed if an artist that I admired had a differing point of view…but the morals of this administration are so perilous the, lack of concern for one’s fellow human beings so non-existent, that ya can’t help but wonder if some people are actually informed on ALL the issues or just what effects them.
I think Sheila probably has a better shot at “making America great again…” 🙂
Hi there, Rebecca! And thanks so much for your reply! Indeed, my main motivation was humor. (I wasn’t trying to reignite a political debate or ruffle any feathers of other friends here.) But we can’t ignore what is happening in reality. I completely agree with what you’ve so eloquently written. Read any interesting president tweets lately? (I was going to use the word “presidential,” but that wouldn’t be applicable.)
Going back to humor, I like your idea about Sheila having a better shot at “making America great again.” And given that Sheila has been so downright mean to Lauren, Phyllis, Quinn, and other women, maybe she has her own misogynistic streak… Take care, Friend!
Well, ya know…perhaps we’ll see Sheila pull off her mask and…shudder…guess who? LOL. Tweets? Only what I read on the news sites…every five seconds. This will certainly keep future generations of students entertained in their American history classes! Between the tweets, the late night hosts, SNL/Alec Baldwin, Melissa McCarthy, can you IMAGINE how fun that history class will be??? 😉 (For those studying the “current” state of affairs…not so fun.) But what an education! 🙂
When I saw the scene, the hair on my neck stood up. I yelled, “Oh, no!!!” when Quinn went to grab for Sheila. And when Sheila went into her moment of lashing out, it was like good ol’ times are back. I really got excited when i saw this and I can’t wait for more. Just take the time to tell the story so that there isn’t a missed beat. That’s what will make this whole storyline very suspenseful and enjoyable. God, I am so glad Sheila (and Kimberlin) are back!!!
All this proves is that 26 years have passed and soaps can NOT come up with anything as lasting and captivsting as Sheila!! Same thing trotting out Olivia Jerome on GH from that same era. Lets try to make something good now!!
Sheila was scary but Quinn’s outfit gave me nightmares.
HA HA…good one, Alan. lol.
I look at it like this: Sheila vs. the rest of the characters on the show. GAME ON!!!!!
If you want to make a man look like a fool, let them be a character on B & B. Making Charlie look like a fool is one thing, but Eric is beyond ridiculous. !! Instead of bringing, yet another crazy onto the canvas, Quinn having Eric’s baby would have touch our heartstrings so much more !!! 4 thumbs down on the Sheila story line !!!!
There was never any doubt that in watching the riveting and emotional scenes on General Hospital which featured Finola Hughes as a PTSD-driven and mentally tortured Anna Devane, that when the climatic moments in Anna’s story aired, that we would not be singing the praises of Hughes. Once again, Finola showcased why she is one of the soap opera genres greatest assets and actresses.
In the key scenes, Anna has had a complete breakdown as she has lured and cornered Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) on Mount Emerson, and even thought through how she would kill her and cover it up, all thanks to hearing the voice and seeing a dead man, Peter August (Wes Ramsey). It’s visions of Peter that keeps egging Anna on to pull the trigger on Britt while in her delusional state.
Before Britt realizes that Anna trapped her in meeting her in Mount Emerson, she is very confused as to why she was all the way out in the boondocks to talk about what happened to her brother, Cassius Faison. However, Britt soon learned that what Anna was about to do is personal, and not professional, as she pulls the gun on her.

ANNA FIRES HER GUN IN GAME-CHANGING MOMENT
When Jason (Steve Burton) shows up to save the say, he tries to talk Anna off the ledge, begging her to not shoot Britt and make one of the greatest mistakes of his life. When Jason figured out Anna felt she needed to kill anyone related to Cesar Faison, he made her think twice, because that would mean, she also would need to end the lives of two of Maxie’s children, James and Bailey Lu.
Anna can’t stop seeing hallucinations of Peter pushing her to shoot Britt. Suddenly and completely overcome, Anna fires bullets straight in the direction of where she sees Peter as she declares this all must end tonight.
After the shots are fired, Anna realized what she had done and just sobbed and shook. It was a devastating and heartbreaking moment for longtime General Hospital fans to see the beloved Anna Devane, super spy, so lost. Anna explained to Jason, after he was able to disarm her, how she was being pushed to kill Britt by her visions of Peter.
EMMY-WORTHY SCENES FOR 2027
In another hankie-inducing moment, Anna just grabs Jason and breaks down in his arms. If these weren’t Emmy-worthy scenes, we don’t know what is, and it must be remembered by Hughes, General Hospital, and hopefully the voting body of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS) when Emmy submissions and voting get underway in 2027 for the 54th annual Daytime Emmys.
From everything we noted above, to the sheer brilliance of her work, Michael Fairman TV names Finola Hughes, this week’s Power Performance of the Week.
Now let us know, do you agree with our pick of Finola? Were you moved to tears during the gut-wrenching scenes? Should Finola include these scenes in an Emmy submission in 2027, should she decide to compete for Lead Actress gold? Weigh-in via the comment section below.

RATINGS: ‘General Hospital’ Shows Most Gains in Total Viewers Week-Over-Week and Up in Key Demo
The ratings are out for the week of August 24-28 for your favorite broadcast television soaps, and it was ABC’s General Hospital which added the most total viewers and planted itself firmly in third place in its battle with Beyond the Gates in the key demos of women 18-49 and 25-54.
According to Soap Opera Network, all daytime dramas were up year-over-year, and General Hospital was joined by The Young and the Restless and The Bold and the Beautiful with gains in their total audience viewership, while Beyond the Gates was only slightly off pace for the ratings week.
Let’s take a look at what had viewers tuning-in, starting with General Hospital, who added +79,000 viewers. While still under the 2 million viewers mark (which they can hopefully return in the coming weeks) their overall tally was an average of 1, 935,000 tuning-in, while still up year-to-year +136,000.
GENERAL HOSPITAL
In addition, GH while actually down from the previous week in the 18-49 ratings share, they still out performed Beyond the Gates for third place. However, GH was firmly in third place for the 25-54 ratings share.
The stories that were featured for the week included: Anna’s (Finola Hughes) PTSD and struggle with painful memories tied to Cesar Faison, and her concocting a plan to get rid of Britt (Kelly Thiebaud), Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) recording Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna) threatening her, and later running into a severe threat from Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) regarding Kai (Jens Austin Astrup) and Drew’s (Cameron Mathison) shooting, and Drew enlisting Ava (Maura West) to gain leverage over Jack, which resulted in Ava drugging him, while Drew went snooping for the evidence Brennan had against him.

THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS
Y&R remained in the top spot amongst all the soaps once again with 3,062,000 tuning in, and up +35,000 for the week, while year-to-year still showing strong gains at +231,000 viewers. However, while Y&R remained #1 for the 25-54 ratings share, it fell to #2 in the 18-49 ratings share behind The Bold and the Beautiful.
In story for the week, Nick’s (Joshua Morrow) sobriety in rehab was a focus, as was Victoria (Amelia Heinle) and Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) hitting the Jabot office couch and having sex for the first time, and Lily (Christel Khalil) and Billy (Jason Thompson) battling over control and ownership of Chancellor Industries.

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL
B&B is continuing to be inch closer to Y&R for the top spot, separated by a little more than 300,000 viewers. For the ratings week, the series posted a total audience of 2,719,000 adding +31,000 eyeballs overall, and like Y&R, is up year-to-year in its performance.
The CBS soap now , now in its 40th season is +217,000 from the same time last year. In the key demos, The Bold and the Beautiful was in the top spot for the women 18-49 ratings share and number two for women 25-54.
In story, the major threat to Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) and Finn (Tanner Novlan) and Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) and Daphne’s (Murielle Hilaire) marriages continued as Steffy and Carter swore they would not tell their spouses that the two had a drunken hook-up. But as viewers know now, Steffy is pregnant!

BEYOND THE GATES
Beyond the Gates tallied an average of 1,611,000 total viewers for the week, up +72.000 year-over-year and down slightly in tune-in for the week losing just -36,000 viewers. The CBS soap came in fourth place in the key demos for the week behind General Hospital, with whom they are often trading places for the third spot.
In story, after Bill Hamilton (Timon Kyle Durrett) was released from the hospital, Hayley (Marquita Goings) stuck to her plan, doubling down on poisoning him and even getting caught in a major lie or meeting with Randy (Maurice P. Kerry), as Vernon (Clifton Davis) may be on to her machinations.
The ratings report is generated from Nielsen (Live+Same Day Big Data + Panel) for the week of August 24-28, 2026

Kelly Sullivan Gives High Praise to ‘General Hospital’s’ Maura West Recalling When Ava Shot Connie (Exclusive)
It was just over 13 years ago on General Hospital when Ava Jerome (Maura West) shot and killed Kate Howard/Connie Falconeri (Kelly Sullivan) in an effort to keep her quiet from revealing that Derek Wells was actually Ava’s back-from-the-dead brother, Julian Jerome (William deVry). It’s a crime that somehow Ava never has quite paid for either.
The episode back aired on August 13, 2013 and viewers had to say goodbye to Kelly Sullivan who played Kate and her alter, Connie. In the story, just before she died, Kate/Connie scrawled the letters AJ in her own blood, initially making the PCPD and Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) think that it was AJ Quatermaine (Sean Kanan) who did the deed.
Now, Sullivan recalled sharing scenes with the three-time Daytime Emmy-winning West, during a live conversation on You Tube’s Michael Fairman Channel. Kelly was the special guest talking about her recent return to the soaps in her new role as The Bold and the Beautiful’s Darcy Dylan.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS OF MAURA WEST
Speaking of her final GH scenes and working with Maura West, Sullivan gave her then GH co-star major props. “If you’re going to be shot by somebody (on the soaps), you want to be shot by Maura West, c’mon!”
Maura West debuted back in May 2013 as Ava, and Sullivan remembered when the As the World Turns favorite began on GH. “I remember when Maura West first arrived at GH. She walked in with this cute little bob (hairdo) and she’s just delicious,” shared Sullivan.
A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE
Kelly revealed more about Maura, adding “I think she’s amazing! I remember right before I left the show, someone suggested, and I would still love to do this with her, if she ever want to, but someone suggested that they wanted to direct the stage play A Streetcar Named Desire with Maura and I, where I would play Stella and she would play Blanche! Wouldn’t that be great?”
Speaking of the Ava/Connie showdown scenes, Sullivan expressed, “On television and on General Hospital specifically, Maura West is able to play a character who does the most horrendous things and you still care about her and that’s the mark of a really great actor. In other words, you’re able to be liked in the midst of the most horrendous things, and as a performer not shying away from that, and to just have the courage to do what’s on the page (in the script).”

KELLY SULLIVAN PARTING THOUGHTS AS SHE LEFT GENERAL HOSPITAL
Kelly also shared her sentiments when she walked off the set of General Hospital after her run back in August of 2013. “I really was honored. Every day I would go to work and I would say a little prayer, which is I want to do justice for my character, explained Kelly. “It’s between me and my character. I get to walk this path with her and to leave the show on that note, which is, I left every out there. I just gave it my all and again what an honor it was to play Kate/Connie.”
You can catch the full conversation with Kelly where she talks about her time on General Hospital, The Young and the Restless where she played Sage Warner and now The Bold and the Beautiful below.
So, do you remember the Ava and Connie scenes where Ava shot and killed her? What did you think of Kelly Sullivan’s sentiments about Maura West? Share your thoughts via the comment section. But first, watch the reveal where Ava recalls murdering Connie below!
