Aaand… “Cut!” In the February 26 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, Steffy Forrester fatally stabbed monster-in-law Sheila Carter, thus bringing to an end Kimberlin Brown’s latest return as the soap-hopping murderess.

“It’s a tough place for me to be in right now; I’m not going to lie about this,” the actress tells TV Insider. But “I guess if anyone were going to take Sheila down, I’m happy it’s Steffy.” In fairness, the ex-con was only at her nemesis’ house to leave her pushing up daisies.

Not that that makes Brown’s exit any easier for her to take. “I just wish that no one was taking Sheila down,” she says. The show “is my happy place where I have been so blessed to be for over 35 years. But I’ve had a good run at it, so I’m one of the lucky ones.”

Brown originated the infamous role on sister soap The Young and the Restless before the character’s many crimes — everything from man-stealing to baby-snatching — prompted her to fake her death and cross over to The Bold and the Beautiful. Following another reign of terror on that show — Sheila shot Brooke, Taylor and Stephanie and threatened to kill lil’ Thomas — she started bouncing between the two daytime dramas every few years.

Here and there, Sheila has supposedly met her maker. (Once, she was even said to have been devoured by a bear.) But the soaps have always found a way for her to do to death what she does to everyone else: cheat. In between stints on Young & Restless and Bold & Beautiful, Brown appeared on All My Children, General Hospital, Port Charles and One Life to Live.

Do you think Sheila is really, most sincerely dead this time? Or is the show just faking us out again? Hit the comments.
