Bold & Beautiful Preview: Sheila Makes a Chilling Promise After She Is Arrested for Shooting Steffy and Killing Finn
Sunday, May 15th, 2022
Sheila may be down, but is she out?
In the latest The Bold and the Beautiful preview for the week of May 16 – 20, Steffy gets the last laugh, or does she? Read about it below and watch the preview.
After Sheila tried to worm her way into Steffy’s home to see Hayes, Steffy finally remembered that it was Sheila who shot both her and Finn, killing her own son. A furious Steffy vowed to make Sheila pay for not just taking Finn from her and Hayes, but for everything else she has done, including keeping her own mother away for years.
Steffy set a trap for Sheila, who had told Deacon she was planning to leave town as nothing was left for her since Steffy wouldn’t let her see Hayes. Steffy decided to pretend to play nice and invite Sheila over to visit with Hayes and honor Finn’s memory. Sheila accepted, having no idea what was in store for her.
After she arrived, Steffy accused Sheila of shooting her and killing Finn. However, it didn’t stop there, as Steffy recalled why she confronted Sheila in the first place. The truth about Sheila switching Brooke’s non-alcoholic champagne on New Year’s Eve came out. Sheila wasn’t about to go down alone and revealed Thomas knew and kept her secret.
In a preview of what is to come, Ridge yells at Sheila, “You killed your own son and tried to kill my daughter, you are going to die in prison.” As two cops place her under arrest, Sheila struggles. Steffy tells her former monster-in-law, “Goodbye Sheila,” and tells the cops, “Take her away!” As she’s being hauled off, Sheila promises they haven’t seen the last of her.
Be sure to read the Bold and Beautiful spoilers to find out who visits Sheila in the slammer. And read whether there can be any way out for the madwoman here.
Before you go, contemplate the “killer” climax that we suspect is in the works for Sheila’s storyline here — and contemplate the suspects in a “Who murdered Sheila?” mystery in the below photo gallery.

<p><strong>Why She Would Kill Sheila:</strong> To protect Hayes from the walking nightmare that is his Maw Maw, obviously. On top of that, Kelly’s mom could consider a switchblade to Sheila’s heart — or empty chest cavity, anyway — payback for Finn’s “death,” her mother’s “murder” and her own shooting. <strong>Why She Wouldn’t Kill Sheila:</strong> Having seen how close ex-husband Liam came to being separated from his family after turning Vinny into Poor Dead Vinny, Steffy would probably think twice before committing a crime that could get her sent up the river and away from her kids.</p>

<p><strong>Why He Would Kill Sheila:</strong> The woman singlehandedly pushed his wife Brooke off the wagon and into ex-lover Deacon’s arms, in so doing, taking a wrecking ball to the couple’s “destiny.” On top of that, it was Sheila who landed his daughter in a coma. <strong>Why He Wouldn’t Kill Sheila:</strong> Ridge has too much to lose, from yet another chance with Brooke (and/or Taylor, <a href="https://soaps.sheknows.com/the-bold-and-the-beautiful/news/710862/taylor-hayes-recast/" target="_blank">if the role is recast</a>) to his future doting on his grandkids. Plus, having put the maniac behind bars once, he might think that maybe the second time’s the charm.</p>

<p><strong>Why She Would Kill Sheila:</strong> Look at that face! Sheila did that! She spitefully blew up “Bridge,” thinking that if she reunited Ridge with Taylor — her onetime “murder victim”! — she’d stand a better chance of being invited to family dinners. <strong>Why She Wouldn’t Kill Sheila: </strong>Gloating is more Brooke’s m.o. So she’s less likely to put Sheila six feet under than sling well-deserved mud in her direction.</p>

<p><strong>Why He Would Kill Sheila:</strong> At this point, he’s in so deep, it may be the only way that he can kick his addiction to the fiancée that he went from rejecting to protecting. <strong>Why He Wouldn’t Kill Sheila:</strong> Having gotten out of jail not too long ago, Deacon isn’t looking to do anything that will get him sent back. Well, anything but cavort with L.A.’s public enemy No. 1.</p>

<p><strong>Why She Would Kill Sheila:</strong> Hey, turnabout is fair play — and the unhinged harpy <em>did</em> once “kill” Taylor. Plus, the shrink already has a history of taking aim in defense of her daughter. Remember, she opened fire on Bill Spencer after he used Steffy’s vulnerable state to get Liam’s then-wife into bed. <strong>Why She Wouldn’t Kill Sheila:</strong> Having <em>just</em> put Bill’s shooting well and truly in the past, Taylor would only ever pull another trigger over her own dead body. Besides, the show painted her into such a corner that she’s no longer even on the canvas.</p>

<p><strong>Why He Would Kill Sheila:</strong> If he really wanted to make his frenemies and family forget how at-home he looks in devil’s horns, he might take it upon himself to usher their tormentor straight to hell. <strong>Why He Wouldn’t Kill Sheila:</strong> <em>Bold & Beautiful</em> storylines rarely intersect. And since he’s not currently in Sheila’s orbit, she’s safe. From him, at least.</p>

<p><strong>Why He Would Kill Sheila:</strong> Dim as a burned-out lightbulb, Finn would probably only rid the world of his maniacal biomom because everybody wants him to. He’s got a spot for her that’s as soft as his head! <strong>Why He Wouldn’t Kill Sheila:</strong> Even after she tried to murder Steffy, held him prisoner, attacked adoptive mom Li and raced into Bill’s arms to elude the long one of the law, Finn couldn’t let Sheila die. And since she saved stepdaughter Kelly from drowning, he’s likelier to nominate her for sainthood than make her pay for her sins.</p>

<p><strong>Why He Would Kill Sheila:</strong> She “killed” Finn, simple as that. Add in the fact that his past with Sheila dealt a fatal blow to his marriage to Li, and we’d be surprised if he wasn’t already (cemetery) plotting. <strong>Why He Wouldn’t Kill Sheila:</strong> Bless his idiotic heart, Jack still seems to be vulnerable to his former lover’s machinations.</p>

<p><strong>Why She Would Kill Sheila:</strong> To avenge Finn and her own near-deaths and ensure that Sheila doesn’t come any closer to burying their son than she already has. <strong>Why She Wouldn’t Kill Sheila:</strong> Once, we would’ve said that murder just doesn’t strike us as Li’s style. But that was before Sheila “killed” her.</p>

<p><strong>Why She Would Kill Sheila:</strong> It would endear Poppy to loverboy Bill. It would prove to sister Li that “See? I <em>can</em> do something right!” It would make her instantly beloved by future son-in-law R.J.’s family. <strong>Why She Wouldn’t Kill Sheila:</strong> Poppy doesn’t strike us as the violent type. But perhaps if she was out of her gourd on “special mints,” she could dispose of Sheila and altogether forget that she’d done so.</p>

<p><strong>Why He Would Kill Sheila:</strong> We could well imagine the Forrester family’s patriarch feeling so guilty for having brought the sinister scheme weaver into their lives in the first place that he might take it upon himself to remove her from the equation — permanently. <strong>Why He Wouldn’t Kill Sheila:</strong> Eric is basically a good guy. Yeah, he thinks with his zipper a bit too much, but down deep, he’s a decent fella. Albeit the kind who can get so mad that he might try to run down the object of his rage (as he did Deacon after he broadcast his deflowering of Eric’s daughter, Bridget). On second thought, maybe he really <em>would</em> take a shot at exterminating Sheila!</p>

<p><strong>Why She Would Kill Sheila:</strong> Hope’s the longest of long shots, we’ll grant you. But if doing away with Sheila was the only way she could keep dad Deacon out of her clutches, <em>maaaybe</em>. <strong>Why She Wouldn’t Kill Sheila:</strong> That’s <em>Hope</em> that we’re talking about. Don’t be silly. It’s unthinkable. Or <em>is</em> it? Once, we would have also considered it unthinkable that she’d trade Liam for Thomas.</p>

<p><strong>Why He Would Kill Sheila:</strong> Since he’s decided that this week he’s in love with Steffy again, he could win a <em>whole</em> lot more points leaving Sheila pushing up daisies than by bringing his ex-wife roses. <strong>Why He Wouldn’t Kill Sheila:</strong> Let’s be real. Liam fainted after <em>accidentally</em> turning Vinny into Poor Dead Vinny. He doesn’t have a murderous bone in his body.</p>

<p><strong>Why He Would Kill Sheila:</strong> Bill already went to sextremes to obtain a murder confession from his ex-fiancée. Since that didn’t keep her out of circulation, he could decide to rip a page from her playbook and try murder himself. <strong>Why He Wouldn’t Kill Sheila:</strong> The whole Poor Dead Vinny sitch taught him that he prefers pinstripes to prison stripes. But Bill could still take a DIY approach to justice and toss Sheila in Justin’s cage.</p>

<p><strong>Why She Would Kill Sheila:</strong> After the horror of seeing Bill cozy up the waking nightmare, Katie might resort to desperate measures to keep him from “playing hero” again. <strong>Why She Wouldn’t Kill Sheila:</strong> Katie is as likely to commit murder as Finn is to wear a shirt.</p>

<p><strong>Why He Would Kill Sheila:</strong> It would take a lot to turn the president of the I Heart Sheila Fan Club against her. If, however, he finally woke up to the fact that she’s nuttier than a jar of Jiff, he <em>could</em> attempt to atone for some of his aiding and abetting by ensuring that she couldn’t hurt anyone again. <strong>Why He Wouldn’t Kill Sheila:</strong> There are dogs that are less devoted to their owners than Mike is to Sheila. So it’s easier to picture him doing life for her than ending <em>her</em> life.</p>

<p><strong>Why He Would Kill Sheila: </strong>Since the show seems to have forgotten that <a href="https://soaps.sheknows.com/the-bold-and-the-beautiful/news/715085/is-kimberlin-brown-rich-sheila/" target="_blank">Sheila is filthy-rich</a>, she’s probably stealing her Il Giardino co-worker’s tips. And you just know that, what with sleeping with the boss and all, she’s getting the best shifts. <strong>Why He Wouldn’t Kill Sheila:</strong> If Hollis likes his job, he might see that the last thing Deacon’s restaurant needs is to be tied to yet another attempted murder.</p>

<p><strong>Why She Would Kill Sheila:</strong> For one thing, it would be a terrific plot twist to have Sheila’s long-lost daughter with James Warwick sneak back into town and keep Mom from adding to her litany of sins. And it would make sense, too, seeing as the last time Mary was on the canvas, she read Sheila for filth for trying to fill her mind with the sorta malevolent nonsense that’s made the supervillain persona non grata on not one but two soaps. <strong>Why She Wouldn’t Kill Sheila:</strong> Because committing a murder would make Mary the last thing she ever wanted to be — just like her mother.</p>

<p><strong>Why He Would Kill Sheila:</strong> Having once been her prisoner (<em>and</em> husband), the shrink knows better than anyone the horrifying lows to which she can sink. And since it wasn’t that long ago that Sheila used James’ drug addiction to strong-arm him into doing her bidding, he’s keenly aware that she hasn’t changed a bit. <strong>Why He Wouldn’t Kill Sheila:</strong> Mary already has one parent with blood on their hands, so James would be loath to make it two.</p>

<p><strong>Why He Would Kill Sheila: </strong>Being one of her spawn set his life down a one-way path that was marked at every turn “dead end,” “dead end,” “dead end.” Perhaps all these years since he last passed through <em>The Young and the Restless</em>, he’s been dreaming up ways to “thank” her. <strong>Why He Wouldn’t Kill Sheila:</strong> Unlike Mom, Ryder wasn’t really bad, he was just drawn that way.</p>
Image: Howard Wise/JPI
21/27
<p><strong>Why She Would Kill Sheila:</strong> To once and for all get a good night’s sleep. For crying out loud, the <em>Young & Restless</em> heroine has been stalked and terrorized on not one but two shows by Sheila, and repeatedly thought that her tormenter had been sent back from whence she came — hell — only to discover that rumors of her death had been greatly exaggerated. <strong>Why She Wouldn’t Kill Sheila:</strong> For the moment, at least, Sheila seems preoccupied with Finn and Hayes. So Lauren might not want to draw attention back to herself, should an attempt on Sheila’s life not succeed.</p>
Image: Howard Wise/JPI
22/27
<p><strong>Why He Would Kill Sheila: </strong>Once, his dark side was almost as wide as Sheila’s. Were he to learn that she was on the loose again, he might take it upon himself to revert to his wicked ways just long enough to protect wife Lauren from getting whiplash from looking over her shoulder all the time. <strong>Why He Wouldn’t Kill Sheila:</strong> Honestly, the only reason we can think of is that no one on <em>Bold & Beautiful</em> has tipped off anybody on <em>Young & Restless</em> to Sheila’s resurrection. It’s called a phone, people!</p>
Image: Howard Wise/JPI
23/27
<p><strong>Why He Would Kill Sheila:</strong> The eradication of Lauren’s would-be killer would be the perfect Mother’s Day gift, no? It would also make a fine present for Christmas, Arbor Day… you name it! <strong>Why He Wouldn’t Kill Sheila:</strong> The odds of Fen rubbing anybody out are on par with the odds of <em>Young & Restless</em> giving him a real storyline: nonexistent.</p>
Image: Howard Wise/JPI
24/27
<p><strong>Why He Would Kill Sheila:</strong> Fen’s surprise <span style="text-decoration: line-through">plot point</span> boyfriend is such a Lauren superfan that he might take out Sheila to endear himself to his future mother-in-law. <strong>Why He Wouldn’t Kill Sheila:</strong> <em>Young & Restless</em> didn’t care enough about the character to even give him a last name, so the show certainly isn’t going to give him the honor of bumping off its longest-running villain.</p>

<p><strong>Why He Would Kill Sheila:</strong> She gave him baby’s first trauma when she kidnapped him as a newborn. And in his time away from Genoa City, the investigative journalist could have been researching her whereabouts. <strong>Why He Wouldn’t Kill Sheila:</strong> It would be something interesting for Lauren’s older son to do, and looking at his history, “interesting” really isn’t in his wheelhouse.</p>

<p><strong>Why He Would Kill Sheila:</strong> That it would thrill fans of <em>The Young and the Restless</em> would be a good enough reason. In addition, though, Paul, as well as anyone, knows what Sheila is capable of. He’s seen what she’s put his ex Lauren through. And if he thought that he could discreetly pop into and out of L.A. to ensure that Sheila never does that to anyone else, the former detective might consider it the ultimate good deed. <strong>Why He Wouldn’t Kill Sheila:</strong> A bit of <a href="https://soaps.sheknows.com/the-young-and-the-restless/news/691720/why-did-doug-davidson-leave/" target="_blank">bad blood was spilled behind the scenes</a>.</p>
