What role does Kimberlin Brown play on The Bold and the Beautiful? Character details explored

Kimberlin Brown has long captivated fans of The Bold and the Beautiful with her portrayal of Sheila Carter, one of the most iconic villains in soap opera history. First introduced on The Young and the Restless, Sheila made her crossover to The Bold and the Beautiful in the early 1990s.

Sheila is known for her manipulative schemes, shocking comebacks, and dangerous obsessions. She has remained a central figure whose presence always stirs drama and suspense. Kimberlin Brown’s performance has turned Sheila into a character viewers love to hate and can never quite forget.

In an interview with DailyBloid.com on April 8, 2024, Kimberlin opened up about her long run on the show.

"I believe success comes from creating a space where our audience can escape even if for a brief moment in time. The fact that it's been so powerful after 37 years speaks truth to that. There are few shows that are able to tout that record and I’m blessed to have been a part of this journey," she said.

Sheila Carter is known for her presence on The Young and the Restless and The Bold and the Beautiful. Introduced in 1990, Sheila began as a nurse in Genoa City who became obsessed with Dr. Scott Grainger. She drugged and seduced him, resulting in a pregnancy.

On The Bold and the Beautiful, Sheila infiltrated the Forrester family by marrying Eric Forrester, manipulating paternity test results, and blackmailing rivals like Lauren and Brooke Logan.

In an interview with Soap Opera Digest on September 8, 2021, Brown commented the following on whether it was fun to be back on the show,

"I’m very blessed that the writers have stayed incredibly creative pushing that envelope … I truly believe that I wouldn’t be where I am today if it weren’t for my fans … I could not be happier that three months turned into 31 years."

Despite numerous presumed deaths, Sheila remains a central figure of chaos. Driven by obsession, twisted love, and a need for control, she left a lasting legacy as a formidable antagonist.
