Bold and Beautiful LEAK: Monaco Bombshell – Sheila Rescues Steffy & Shifts Alliances!

Bold and the Beautiful hasn’t seen a whole lot of Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown) lately, but that is about to change because Deacon’s estranged wife is back on screen now and making bizarre divorce demands about Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) giving her visitation to her son and grandson.

But also, Sheila’s going to follow Steffy and Finn Finnegan (Tanner Novlan) to Monaco and they’re all part of a big remote shoot that just taped in Monte Carlo. We’re going to talk about how this Monaco storyline could change everything for a lot of people.

Bold and the Beautiful: The Monaco Remote Shoot

So, we know that Brad Bell and a handful of the cast went to Monaco for the annual Monte Carlo Television Festival. And while there, as they often do, they filmed on the French Riviera. And we have seen some leaked behind-the-scenes footage and a couple of photos of some dramatic Sheila and Steffy action.

In addition to Sheila and Steffy, actresses Kimberlin Brown and Jacqueline MacInnes Wood, there was also Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) along with Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) and of course Steffy’s husband Finn. He is very important to this Sheila redemption arc. So, that’s why he’s along.

Brad Bell Shared B&B Info

And in addition to the leaked footage, showrunner Brad Bell did an interview and gave away some more tidbits about the arc they filmed there. He revealed that they filmed at the beach in the morning and that involves some of the leaked footage of Finn and Steffy and Sheila. And then Brad Bell said they filmed at a church in the afternoon.

And he also said it’s a secret story that involves Steffy, Finn, Sheila, Ridge, and Brooke. The Ridge and Brooke part, I don’t know how that ties back to Sheila. But the beach scenes are the ones that seem most important, and those involve Steffy, her husband Finn, and his biological mother, aka stalker Sheila.

So, Brad Bell said something happens that is going to change their lives forever. And it sounds like something amazing happens, which is not what you usually think when you think of Sheila Carter. So, with them filming at a church, maybe Steffy and Finn renew their vows, or maybe Brooke and Ridge do.

Whatever the reason they’re there, it looks like Sheila follows Steffy and Finn out of California all the way across to Europe because there’s no way any of the people that are involved would invite Sheila to join them. So, she’s stalking them. The leaked footage shows Steffy confronting someone on the beach and it looks like Sheila based on the dialogue and the action and who we know was filming on the beach. So obviously Steffy will be horrified to see Sheila there in Monaco.

Bold and Beautiful: Sheila’s Redemption Arc

This may be part of her redemption story considering all the changes we’ve seen with her character. Remember when she found out Deacon Sharpe (Sean Kanan) was having an affair with Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig), everybody expected Sheila to go nuts. Her usual reaction would be to come totally unglued and try and kill Taylor. They even hinted at Sheila doing that in the scenes with the knife in Taylor’s bedroom and then her murdering that pizza with the pizza cutter in Taylor’s office and spraying pizza sauce around like blood. But Sheila never laid a hand or a blade on Taylor.

And considering how much Sheila loves Deacon, it’s surprising how much grace that Sheila has shown. She voluntarily moved out of Deacon’s little apartment they shared once he said he wanted to be with Taylor. And Sheila’s left them alone since until very recently. That was when she barged into Taylor’s office, caught her and Deacon making out. And even then, Sheila didn’t go berserk. Instead, she came to talk to Deacon and Taylor about signing the divorce papers.

Sheila’s Request on Bold and Beautiful

Sheila is not making any alimony demand. She’s not asking for half of Deacon’s restaurant. Instead, Sheila asked Taylor to advocate for her with Steffy and Finn because Sheila wants access to her family. She’s lost Deacon and Sheila wants a place in her son Finn and grandson Hayes Finnegan (Bryan David Garlick) lives.

And Sheila told Taylor that she wants supervised visits twice a month with Finn and Hayes. And it sounds reasonable enough until you remember that Sheila shot Steffy and Finn both and left them for dead. However, Sheila wants Taylor to convince Steffy and Finn that they don’t have to be afraid of her. And Sheila said that’s the least Taylor can do since she stole her husband, Deacon.

Bold and Beautiful: Taylor in a Terrible Position

And honestly, I think it was fairly reasonable of Sheila. So, Taylor said she would do her best, but I’m betting she really doesn’t want to bring this up to Steffy. But since Sheila’s not come after Taylor for stealing Deacon, that may go a long way to softening up Steffy on this topic in the long run, but not the short run. I mean, if anything was going to send Sheila over the edge, it would be Deacon having an affair with Taylor, who Sheila considered to be one of her best friends. And she felt extremely betrayed by Taylor, even more so than I think she did towards Deacon. But Sheila still didn’t really lash out at all.

We already saw Steffy warming up a bit when Sheila saved Steffy from Luna Nozawa (Lisa Yamada) during that whole showdown at the beach house. You know, where Sheila lost another toe while saving Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) and Steffy and others. And we saw things seemed friendlier when Sheila visited Liam while he was recovering from that brain issue. And of course, Sheila’s love for Luna kept ruining things with Deacon and others. But there was some real progress being made until Sheila found out Luna was alive because of Li Finnegan (Naomi Matsuda) and then she kept it a secret from everybody and then all that progress was lost.

Bold and Beautiful: Sheila Proves Herself to Steffy

But maybe Sheila can prove herself in another way. Aside from keeping her cool and not trying to kill Taylor for having an affair with Deacon, I’m betting whatever goes down in Monte Carlo proves to Steffy that Sheila really has changed and makes Steffy totally change her mind about Sheila or at least enough to let her in their lives on a probationary basis.

I suspect that Taylor’s going to talk to Steffy about Sheila’s supervised visitation request, which is kind of funny because Finn is a whole grown adult. So, does that mean another adult will be supervising Sheila’s time with her grown son Finn? Would Steffy be the one supervising? It’s not like they can bring in somebody else for that. But I’m sure when Taylor tells her that Steffy is going to say heck no, and that could be exactly why Sheila follows them to Monaco, she may want to plead her case in person to Steffy and Finn.

And Sheila may think it’ll be easier for them to speak with fewer distractions outside of Los Angeles. But of course, Steffy will be horrified to see that Sheila followed them on Bold and the Beautiful. And she may think that she’s there to cause problems. And it looks like Steffy spots Sheila and confronts her on the beach. She snatches something out of her hands. It looks almost like a scarf. Maybe she’s hiding and trying to, you know, go under the radar.

Bold and Beautiful: Sheila Saves SINN?

Brad Bell said they needed somebody to bring some trouble and they knew Sheila was the one to do it. There were also some behind-the-scenes photos of Sheila, Steffy, and Finn where the actors were going over lines. So, Sheila being there definitely is crossing lines, but I’m thinking Sheila may finally be truly changed and she gets the chance to prove it to Steffy with what happens in Monaco. I imagine that Sheila either saves Steffy or she saves Finn. Or if they go super duper soapy, maybe Sheila saves both Steffy and Finn.

Remember the last time they did a remote shoot over there, Ridge dived in and saved Brooke, who bounced right off of Nick Marone’s (Jack Wagner) boat. So, maybe Sheila will do something similar and we’ll swim out and save them from the undertow in the French Riviera. We’ll see. But everything changes in Monaco and Sheila may convince Steffy to give her a shot to be around Finn and Hayes.
