As a long-time fan of The Bold and the Beautiful, I can’t help but form an opinion on the latest twist in the storyline involving Sheila Carter. With her recent return to the show after years of absence, I find it hard to believe that she is responsible for the murders at Il Giardino.
In the July 15th episode of “The Bold and the Beautiful,” the unexpected passing of Hollis left our favorite soap opera characters reeling. Although most interactions with him were limited to Brooke and Deacon, his sudden death caused shockwaves among several individuals. Fingers started pointing as expected, with Steffy and Ridge suspecting Sheila Carter for both Hollis’ and Tom’s demises, even though the cause of death has not been officially ruled a homicide yet.
Sheila has a history of causing distress to the Forresters and Brooke, going as far as attempting to kill them in the past. The latest incident involved an accidental shooting of her son Finn and Steffy, which she tried to conceal. However, it seems that Steffy and Ridge have overlooked something crucial. While Sheila has a record of violence and has put many characters in perilous situations, she doesn’t attack randomly. There appears to be a reason behind her actions, and as of now, they don’t have any evidence suggesting a grudge between her and Tom or Hollis, making their accusations unfounded.
Although it’s true that Sheila had a motive for wanting Tom out of the picture due to their disagreement, and she acted strangely around Hollis regarding his bag, I’m not convinced she’s responsible for the murders at Il Giardino. Here are my reasons:
Why Sheila Carter isn’t the killer on Bold and the Beautiful (speculation)
1. Sheila and Tom buried the hatchet
Prior to Tom’s death, Tom and Sheila had improved their relationship significantly. Sheila warned Tom against speaking negatively about her to her husband and refused to discuss her past. If Tom failed to comply with her demands, she would only terminate his employment. It is essential to recall that Tom was instrumental in helping Deacon and Finn locate Sheila when Sugar kidnapped her and attempted to falsely accuse her of a series of murders.
Sheila disliked it when Deacon interfered with her tranquil work environment, but she hadn’t reached the boiling point of taking violent action against him. A few unwelcome conversations between Deacon and herself weren’t enough to drive Sheila to contemplate murder. Moreover, right after she had resolved things with Tom, Deacon’s attention shifted towards Poppy. Consequently, all of Deacon’s meddling became insignificant, eliminating any reason for Sheila to feel endangered by him and his probing into her history.
2. The last person Hollis saw was someone he knew but who didn’t know about Tom’s bag
Yes, Sheila interrupted Hollis as he tried to discuss the discoveries in Tom’s bag. The situation was peculiar, not necessarily indicative of wrongdoing. It’s known that Tom stored various items in his backpack, including articles implicating Sheila in questionable acts. Whether Sheila was aware of this research is uncertain, but she did understand that Tom had delved into her past. Maybe she wanted Hollis to abandon the bag to prevent further revelations about her past actions.
I guess Hollis could have easily searched up information about Sheila on Google, but it doesn’t look like he or the other Il Giardino staffers have bothered to do so. Sheila probably wants to keep her past hidden from us, as uncovering Tom’s findings might lead us down a rabbit hole of her decades-long mistakes and transgressions.
Hollis had spoken with someone before he disappeared, whom he believed hadn’t been aware of the backpack. The scene implied that this individual might have been the one who spiked his drink and later appeared at the restaurant late at night. It’s suggested that they took the bag with them when they left.
3. Sheila was irritated by the mess at Il Giardino
I came across an intriguing detail that struck me as significant, even if it seems insignificant at first. It just doesn’t add up that Sheila kept doing inventory while the power had gone out at Il Giardino on the night Hollis passed away. Moreover, she didn’t seem to have been back at the restaurant’s outdoor dining area since then. The disarray of the place still annoyed her, and I couldn’t see anyone else around, so it wasn’t like she was putting on a show for an audience.
If she had been the one to cause Hollis’ death, she wouldn’t have been taken aback by the scene’s lack of change. It resembled the way it appeared the night before, save for the absence of the bag. Her shocked reaction upon finding Hollis’ body appeared authentic, reflecting her genuine surprise at the unexpected discovery.
4. She’s being positioned as the killer
In most murder mysteries, the character who seems guilty based on the actions of other characters isn’t usually the true culprit. Sheila is currently being suspected by multiple characters following July 15’s events, making her a likely red herring in the storyline. While she might have explanations for her suspicious behavior and could be connected to the crimes, it’s highly unlikely that she’s the one who committed them.
5. Sheila’s love for Deacon
I must admit, it’s hard for me to believe that Sheila intentionally took the lives of not one but two of Deacon’s friends. Yes, she did shoot her son in a tragic accident, and at that point, she believed she had no more reasons to hold back when targeting Steffy, assuming she had already killed him. The trauma from this horrifying sequence of events nearly pushed Sheila to the brink of suicide. It’s unlikely that someone who loves Deacon as much as she claims would easily harm him.
Deacon doesn’t play the role of Moral Compass for Sheila, but rather acts as her guiding force, keeping her in check and preventing her from giving in to her darker instincts. Despite encounters with threatening individuals like Tom, she managed to keep herself composed. The situation with Hollis hadn’t escalated to a point where Sheila would have taken a violent turn against him. If she had acted upon her aggressive tendencies towards Tom, it seems unlikely that she could remain calm and composed around Deacon.
She clearly adores him, and it’s no secret to those dear to her heart. Sheila finds it challenging to conceal her feelings from the ones she loves. Her emotions often overpower her, making her an impassioned individual. So far, none of her interactions with Deacon have depicted her losing control or displaying erratic behavior on her own. This suggests that she might not be the culprit.
6. We just got Kimberlin Brown back
In conclusion, Brad Bell and “The Bold and the Beautiful” team recently resurrected the character of Sheila, as confirmed by Kimberlin Brown’s contract negotiations. However, I find it implausible that they would create such an intricate storyline involving her return to life, marriage to Deacon, and subsequent role as a killer at his restaurant. This scenario would require Sheila to face the consequences of her actions with jail time, leading to Brown’s exit from the show once again. Given that she just came back, another hasty departure would be underwhelming and a wasted opportunity for fans.
