Apparently the ten toed bitch is Sugar, Sheila's old friend who got surgery to look like her.

by Anonymousreply 7April 5, 2024 11:25 PM

R5 Sugar. A prison guard that Sheila that ended up becoming one of Sheila’s minions 20 years ago. Of course she went the plastic surgery route to look exactly like Sheila. Apparently that’s her being cremated. Like Michael Myers, you’ll have to put Shelia through a trash compactor to finally kill her off. And don’t forget to count the toes.

If Sugar is the one killed by Steffy a few weeks ago, then who was it who had plastic surgery to look like Phyllis on Y&R 20 years ago?

by Anonymousreply 9April 6, 2024 12:46 AM

R9 Brad Bell has said he ignoring what went down on YR with Sheila. Well everything, except her feud with Lauren. The last time Brown was on YR she handed a pic of someone to a plastic surgeon saying I want you to make me look like her. So whoever it was when Stafford was supposed to be Sheila is anyone’s guess.

by Anonymousreply 10April 6, 2024 12:53 AM

Deacon could easily find out whether the corpse had nine or ten toes.

Since "Sheila" was "murdered" by Steffy, there would have been an autopsy performed by the L.A. County Medical Examiner's office, and they always write up a detailed description of the body with drawings noting any anomalies. including things like scars and tattoos. Something as pronounced as a missing digit would definitely be noted. With male bodies, they even note whether they're circumcised and the condition of their testes.

CBS has canceled The Talk. This leaves an hour of programming open in CBS's daytime schedule come January.

Likely the new black soap opera The Gates will be a prime contender to get that time slot.

CBS debuted The Talk in 2010, giving it the time slot created by the cancellation of As The World Turns.

KM went to OLTL and asked them to match YR offer or she would exit. They declined and Paige was recast. Sheila returned to YR for a (not so great) 6 month return.......Other parts of this episode involve Jenns death, Dan Gauthier as hot Kevin, and cute blonde Rex.

R21 from your mouth to Gods ears. I can’t imagine Lang wanting to do YR however. She’d be pretty low on the totem pole there. But I think they’ve done everything they can at BB. When Flannery left, she left a huge hole in the show that’s never been filled. It just feels like it’s reaching its conclusion. All the likable characters are gone. The Logans, with the exception of Katie, have accomplished what they always wanted to make their lives complete and are married to Forresters. Hobo Ridge is useless anymore. Steffy and Thomas are ok. But who cares about the rest of them.

If the show is axed we know how it would end... The last three months would just be Forresters getting killed while everyone assumes it's Sheila. But the real culprit turns out to be insane Taylor!! She hates them all! They ruined her life!! The only man who ever loved her was Prince Omar!! Ridge treated her like a doormat and getting rid of his worthless family is justice!!. Over the last 3 months of the show she stabs Ridge to death. She poisons Eric and Donna to death. Kristen, Rick, and Felicia go over the cliff after Taylor tampers with their brakes. She shoots Thorne to death after luring him to Big Bear. Her final act of revenge is burning the Forrester Mansion to the ground. Only Steffy and Brooke survive.

The recent 2025 announcement was not actually a "year pickup." .. It was CBS exercising the existing "third-year option" that was previously negotiated as part of the licensing contract the last time the show was "picked up" in 2022.

Mini spoiler from Tuesday's Y&R ....

Michael and Lauren are at the Athletic Club having a happy moment about the news that Claire has been found alive and that psychopath "Aunt Jordan" is dead -- although only Victor knows that she really isn't -- and during this conversation they actually reference the recent events in Los Angeles regarding Sheila hoping that it was her body in the morgue, and that Sheila's dead as well. .. During the follow-up to this scene, Lauren says something like, "And if Sheila is still out there lurking, she better not come anywhere near me, or she's gonna be sorry." .. The intonation is very odd. because it's almost like Lauren joking about it. Then, Michael enthuses, "Oooh, my warrior wife!"

by Anonymousreply 48April 30, 2024 8:16 AM

How many years has it been since Lauren and Sheila even shared a scene? Bold sucks with or without her, but Y&R could really use bad bitch Sheila, more so than wackadoo Aunt Jordan.

I would’ve liked Hunter or Krista to come back, but it is what it is. Taylor is supposed to be around Brookes age, so while Rebecca is 51, she could easily be great looking for early 60s. Krista was 51 and very few bitched. This coming from a show where Sugar and Sheila looked EXACTLY alike. Not to mention all the sorased kids on every show. It’s a SOAP people. She probably won’t last long as Taylor anyway. I’m willing to give the actress a chance, but it’s gonna be the same shit with her pining over hobo Ridge, or begging Brookes forgiveness or some non sensical crap. The character has been greatly diminished over the years.

R140, Rebecca could be 51 or 61, she still looks early 40s at the most; it's a type.

I can watch and old cop show from the 1970s and then, a show from the 1990s or early 2000s and there's the same character actor guy playing the same type of cop role. People have an age range, and they stick with it.

This is a terrible choice; KA had a passing resemblance to Tylo; was height and hair appropriate.

I still see Greenlee when I look at Rebecca. She's too spunky!

by Anonymousreply 142August 10, 2024 9:58 AM

R142 on primetime they pay more attention to age detail. I don’t think Budig looks early forties, but she’d probably love you for saying that. Like I said, Tylo or Allen would’ve been obviously preferable, but Bell has alienated both of them for whatever reason. The character, imo, is needed to keep Brooke and the Logans in check. I don’t care how many Emmys JMW wins, Steffy just can’t insult, and keep their asses in check, Brooke and the Logans they way Flannery did. Plus Bell might’ve been working from a smaller pool of middle age actresses to cast Taylor for all we know. The casting overall sucks on this show right now (the RJ one, in particular, is especially horrible. He’s fug as hell). Budig might do ok, but probably not much more.

Sherilyn Wolter just showed up at the Santa Barbara fan reunion event. She's a little gray but still beautiful and thin. There might have been flashbacks with her and KKL they could have tapped into.

Budig is simply NOT believable as Steffy and Thomas's mom; plus, she's Fusion girl. She's not a believable shrink.

Sherilyn Wolter made a spunky Taylor. She had a fiery chemistry with Susan Flannery, their scenes were special. Hunter had only been in the role for a month when Sherilyn replaced her for one week. The change was jarring at first, but in the end I didn't want her to leave.

Hunter wasn't a one-dimensional Barbie doll at the start either, she was good as Caroline's cancer doctor. The problem started when there was little growth for her character after her return in 1995 and marriage to Omar. It was like she was more interested in just cashing the paycheck.

But today, they start off with Steffy,, sitting on her sofa, all cleaned up, wearing fresh clothes and combed out hair. She looked like she'd maybe even taken a shower. Meanwhile, Finn is finishing up giving her a medical exam.

But then we go back to the jail and pick up with yesterday's scene for the Poppy-Luna reveal. . ..

by Anonymousreply 241September 9, 2024 8:29 PM

R241 yeah he’s not great, but not as bad as RJ and Taylor. Kaye’s been on the show over ten years, and I will give him credit for not being shown the door. Plus him being nominated often and winning two Emmys sealed the deal for his length of stay (Moss couldn’t get nominated even once in 25 years). Moss definitely had the Prince Charming appeal and looks that Kaye lacks, but he looks 1000 years old now. So Ridge would be looking quite old now anyway, but I can’t help but think there are better looking soap actors Moss’s age or a little younger that would have been more suitable.

Killing off a newbie recast is lame because the audience wouldn't be invested in the NuActress playing the role and there would be little to no emotional attachment. In fact, if they don't like the recast (which seems to be the case with this one), they'd probably welcome her exit, saying the sooner the better.

If that's the plan, they could have replaced Taylor with the rubber dummy that Prince Omar put in her casket all those years ago.

Bell himself has said he’s going to continue to kill off characters, and I’m guessing not all of them will be fairly new ones, so it would make sense to kill her off. I personally think the character is needed to keep Brooke and the Logans in check, but not with this actress, and it’s not the heyday of the show anymore with Tylo playing her unfortunately. He’s just not invested in Taylor now, so I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if he ended the character, so his precious Logans can go on getting away with everything.

Fans of Susan should track down one of her early episodes from 1990 where Stephanie attempts to seduce tennis pro Jake Maclaine after one of their afternoon tennis lessons. This was after Eric's first affair with Brooke, and it seemed plausible that Stephanie may have sought out this young stud for revenge and perhaps some company.

That was the final time they EVER let Susan Flannery play sexy on the show. But she was great, very believable as the bored and hurt wife, and still quite gorgeous. It turned out it was all a ruse to test Jake's loyalty to Felicia, but a cool scene nonetheless.

The potboiler story would have been having Stephanie and Eric in a lavender marriage. Stephanie becomes attracted to the virgin Caroline Spencer, and the two begin a downlow affair behind clueless Ridge's back -- clueless because he's usually looking at himself in a mirror and wondering what it would be like to have sex with himself..

Meanwhile, closet case Eric could care less whom Stephanie is fucking. He always had to get drunk to impregnate her. Eric maintains his own secret fashion business on the side where he designs underwear and caftans for International Male, In this venture, he goes by the mononymous "Derric." Eric makes monthly trips to IM headquarters in San Diego where he personally approves the male models used for his designs in their catalogs. Back in Los Angeles, Eric can often be found incognito when he visits the IM store in West Hollywood. He does this to get inspiration and scope out new talent. One day he meets Clark Garrison who casually asks "Derric" if a pair of French Officer's Shorts he's thinking about buying make him look fat.

Then we have gay Thorne, who's having his own hookups with (alleged) G4P Storm Logan. "Stormy" is working his way through law school and is known among wealthy Westside gays as that "Manslut from The Valley." Local cater-waiter and power bottom Rocco Carner has a mad crush on alpha top Storm and is envious, because he believes he'll never be able to compete with blond adonis and trust fund baby Thorne.

In this version, Katie still has acne and thinks the only way she's going to get laid is to switch to girls. Rocco has shown no interest, so she decides to make a move on a big girl named "Kirby," star of their high school softball team.

Good point. I've often been shaking my head at the fashinable but slutty outfits they have Steffy wear, espeically her business attire pants suits complete with hot pants.

Hadn't paid as much attention to what Hope has been wearing lately. However, I have thought on more than one occasion that for a fashion designer, she wears awfully conservative clothes.

Jacquelyn M. Wood as Steffy has always had showy fashion choices when it comes to her hair and clothes ( extensions to her waist one day and a bob the next; leather pants, short slutty skirts, etc). Why they suddenly decided to make do-gooder Hope a raging slut who waffles between men more than she changes her underwear is the real mystery here. She goes goo-goo eyed if a man smiles at her. I think it’s Carter’s turn.

I would love to see Wood leave the show. I get that she's beautiful, even with the plastic surgery that I think worked against her. But, to me, she just can't act. She can only play extremes: extreme bitchy at that. When she plays vulnerable, it comes across as way overdone as it's so extreme from being bitchy. (I.e. Notice how she's terrified of Sheila when she hears about her being let go from jail, hiding in Finn's arms and whimpering but is completely bitchy when they're face to face. There's no merging of the two emotions. She can only play one note at a time.). I really hate when the show focuses on her character, which I guess will happen more as the Brookes, Sheilas, and Ridges age out. But she's just too wooden. Not as bad as that actress who plays Donna (Pornface) but not too far off.

JMW is just a so so actress. It’s mystifying she’s been able to win three Daytime Emmys, but she’s extremely savvy at picking her reels, which it all boils down to. In fact the entire show is just a neon sign of mediocrity at this point. I’ve been watching old episodes from 2002 when Brooke was fucking Deacon, and it’s a completely different show for the better. Flannery was such a powerhouse actress, and the show lacks at least one of these type actors that can bring the goods. Fake Ridge, Taylor and the parade of Logan twats ain’t cutting it.

It should be like in the olden days when soaps would just bring in a Temp to play the role. Storyline ruled the day with the philosophy that "the show must go on." I remember Bell replacing several of his lead actresses on Y&R when they got preggers IRL (e.g. Jaime Lynn Bauer, Melody Thomas Scott, Tracey Bregman), and B&B had Sandra Dee Robinson play "Brooke" when she was on maternity leave in 1997. .. Passions was still doing this in the 00's, even with the guys who opted to take paternity leave.

The role of Steffy Forrester will temporarily be played by .... so don't get too used to someone who can actually act!

Still, given that it's almost 2025, you would think it would be time to have a young, gay teen on B&B, so this would give them an opening, but obviously that's not the most likely scenario we will see.

Lawrence Saint Victor is just recurring as Carter. Only shows up when they need someone to officiate a wedding or when there is Forrester business to handle.

That's not very challenging for an actor. But it does pay the bills. I can't even remember what his last major storyline was. That brief romance with Quinn before she left the show?

I imagine he'd jump at the change to get an acting part with more depth. So, if the The Gates wants him, then I'd say its a good thing for him to make the move.

And he could also potentially keep writing for B&B at the same time.

I’m guessing these were her sticking points. Bell might’ve trying to get Tylo back one last time, so he made the decision to fire Allen and rest the character for a bit. Now he’s stuck with Budig, who’s as much like Taylor as Don Diamont playing her with a wig on. Imo Taylor was never the same when they brought her back from the dead in 2005. Bell made her a drunk, a victim, and much more like Brooke and her bed hopping ways. There’s just no balance to the show anymore. I think this was when the show started its decline. Seven years before Flannery and Moss got the hell out. Hunter Tylo is never coming back either.

I remember WAY BACK in the early 00s, not long after he got married himself, he gave a rather lengthy interview to a print magazine (not online). It was in one of the women's magazines (something like Cosmo, McCalls, Marie Claire). .. Anyway, the interviewer was asking Josh about his own love story and recent wedding, and halfway thru -- just out of the blue -- he said something like how he hoped everyone could find and marry the person they love like he just had, INCLUDING GAY PEOPLE. He went on to mention that one of his groomsmen was gay and he felt he should have the same right as him.. .. This was a pretty bold statement for when he said it. I'm not even sure if same-sex marriage was legal in Massachusetts yet. At the time, Morrow was the first daytime actor I'd every read to make any kind of statement like that.

The problem is with Sheila, if she has 2 kids onscreen, it’s less impactful to have a plan b. Makes her less obsessive. She needs that to drive and explain her machinations.

Brad writes a very safe show in many ways; he keeps hundreds of people employed.

Maybe he's afraid to rock the boat or just doesn't care anymore.

LOL the best part of this show is waiting to see what business-inappropriate get-up they stuff Steffy in.

Also, I had to laugh when Carter was lamenting to uber-skank Hope and her slut mother about how mean the Forresters have been to the Logans. Uh, really???

B&B should have cast a sister for Stephanie; maybe call her Meredith or Vanessa (it's a great soap handle)

She takes up where Steph leaves off in her hatred towards Brooke.

Cast Kathleen Noone in the part. Life goes on.

The show is so watered down now.

R439, Brad Bell should realize how behind the times B&B is by now. It is 2024 (almost 2025) and yet this show still doesn't have a gay male character. Even though it is about the fashion industry. In Los Angeles.

Will Spencer aka Crew Morrow was the perfect opportunity to have a gay teenager and they blew it. It was 30 years ago that Ryan Phillippe played the first gay teen on t.v. in "One Life To Live" and yet B&B can't even manage that all these years later?

Instead of Ryan Phillippe, B&B gave us Singing Thorne.

R444 I think Bell doesn’t want to alienate anymore viewers, especially in the flyover part of the US, to his shitfest. The show is dropping in viewers in this country anyway. So we get more of hobo Ridge, fake Taylor, Steffie and her stupid office outfits, and the Logan skanks getting away with everything in the end.

R447, I get what you are saying, but it's the usual double standard -- a gay male character is taboo, and yet constant heterosexual adultery from all the other characters is okay.

Mid-90s, Karen Spencer and Singing Thorne could have had an interesting double lavender marriage, with only viewers knowing about the secret lives they shared with one another.

We'd see Thorne give Karen a peck on the cheek before heading out to his favorite bath house off Santa Monica Blvd. where he'd get in a sling and take multiple loads. .. Meanwhile, Karen would put on a hoodie and some sneakers and drive over the hill to The Valley Where that Slut Brooke Logan is from to meet up with gal pals at The Oxwood Inn to sip wine, listen to live acoustic guitar music, play some pool and sing Karaoke.

Bill Bell could have broken new ground if he'd had Stephanie seduce her new daughter-in-law, Caroline, with Hot Thorne spying his mother and wife and getting so upset that he moves out of the Forrester mansion, swears off women, and becomes a high-paid escort to the rich and famous men of Beverly Hills.

3-way relationships were all the rage in the '90s. Karen, Thorne, and Macy all living together and implied to be in a 3-way. Taylor/Ridge and Brooke, and Maggie/James and Sheila. When Sheila's mom Molly visited from Genoa City she almost choked on her almond croissant when she found out all the juicy details.

R450, there may have been a lesbian on the show some years back. But we were saying the show is long overdue for a *gay male* character. This is the fashion industry in Los Angeles and yet all the guys on B&B are straight.

R462, R463 etc. Yeah, they should have Will & Remy hook up. Would make an interesting change from the usual 2 guys fighting over 1 girl dynamic.

Btw, Electra sounds like the name of a porn actress. Wonder why they chose that name for her?

Back in the 1980s, even the late 80s, gay love was still the love that dare not speak its name.

That must have been a lot of pressure on those two actresses given how people gossip, especially 'Caroline" as she much younger.

Steph doesn't give a hoot what anyone says.

Stephanie's plan to drive Beth out of LA, reuniting her in Paris with her estranged husband Stephen worked but Eric informed Steph that they'd be together in name only.

It was a perfect resolution. Steph 'paid' for being the 'villain' (she really wasn't) and there were no romantic scenes between her and Eric.

The show had an interesting plot going with Carter and Hope's plan to orchestrate a coup against Ridge & Steffy, but then they do silly things like having Carter & Hope taking time to jump into bed for a roll in the hay when they should be acting on those signed documents as soon as possible.
