‘The Bold And The Beautiful’s Bradley Bell Explains Kimberlin Brown’s Sudden Departure & Return: “Villains Typically Need A Cooling Off Period”


Brad Bell is addressing his decision to bring back Sheila Carter, the character that everyone loves to hate.

EXCLUSIVE: Fans of The Bold and the Beautiful were gobsmacked by the decision to supposedly kill off Kimberlin Brown’s Sheila Carter in a February episode — only to bring her back from the dead two months later. “As you’re flipping around through all of these different options on TV, to be able to land on The Bold and the Beautiful or The Young and the Restless and to immediately see that this is your show in a world of change … there’s consistency here like nowhere else in entertainment,” Bell tells Deadline. Recasting such an icon was out of the question, so Bell fashioned a goodbye that had Forrester dying of cancer in the arms of her daughter-in-law Brooke, who Stephanie used to refer to as the “slut from the valley.”
