This exit was far from perfect.

Summary:

  • The Bold and the Beautiful is a CBS soap opera that has been on the air since 1987.
  • Recently, series veteran Kimberlin Brown left the show after her character Sheila was brutally stabbed.

The actress admits that she misses the show, but confirms that this time the death is final.

At this point, most soap operas are so packed with epic twists and turns that viewers don't seem to trust anything that happens on screen.

When someone gets together, how do we know they're not faking it? When someone has a baby, are we sure who the father is? When someone dies, where is the guarantee that they are not coming back?

As much as we love the magic of soap, some things have to be certain. The writers of The Bold and the Beautiful have taken matters into their own hands by setting up an abrupt and unexpected, but very final, exit for Sheila Carter.

According to Kimberlin Brown, the on-screen death wasn't easy for her to accept, as well as for the fans.

Although soap opera viewers have become accustomed to their emotions being constantly toyed with and characters dying only to come back to life later, the death that shocked fans on the February 26 episode of the CBS soap was very real. Sheila Carter will not survive the fatal stabbing.

Speaking to TV Insider, Kimberlin Brown admitted that Sheila's death hit her harder than she expected. Even though it was a pretty logical conclusion to her storyline, the actress wasn't too thrilled about her character's demise.

“Well, you know, it’s a tough place for me to be in right now; I’m not going to lie about this. I guess if anyone were going to take Sheila down, I’m happy it’s Steffy. I just wish that no one was taking Sheila down. It’s my happy place where I have been so blessed to be for over 35 years. But I’ve had a good run at it, so I’m one of the lucky ones,” the actress said.

After spending so many years on The Bold and the Beautiful, Brown's feelings are completely understandable.

However, all good things must come to an end, and this journey is no exception. Perhaps the actress will return at some point as another character, or visit another soap.

To see how Sheila's nemesis and eventual murderer, Steffy Forrester, will deal with the consequences of her actions, be sure to tune in to CBS Monday through Friday to not miss another episode of The Bold and the Beautiful.
