Sheila Carter: My Muse

Hello everyone,

My story will revolve around Sheila Carter, a character on the Young and the Restless from 1990-1993, then crossed over to the Bold and the Beautiful from that year until 1998, then returned to Bold in 2002 and 2003. In 2005, Sheila (portrayed by compelling actress Kimberlin Brown) returned to her roots in Y&R and left mysteriously and ambiguously in early 2006. As it turns out, Sheila went to a brilliant plastic surgeon and got a new face, that of Phyllis Newman (portrayed by Emmy-award winning actress Michelle Stafford). She was killed in early 2007.

Sheila Carter was a complete psychopath, and as Stephanie Forrester correctly observed in 2003, she was the devil. In 1990, Sheila Carter was a nurse in Genoa City who worked too closely with Dr. Scott Grainger, who was married to Lauren Fenmore at the time. Lauren was pregnant, and Sheila tricked Scott into bed with her and became pregnant herself. Unbeknowst to all, Sheila miscarried but fooled Scott into marrying her and faked her pregnancy. Lauren and Sheila were due around the same time, but Sheila got a baby from the black market and switched Lauren's baby and posed Lauren's son as hers. She lived a life with Scott and baby Scotty for about two years until she was discovered. Sheila's mother, Molly, knew the truth but had a stroke which rendered her speechless. Sheila put her in a convalescent home, and hired nurses to keep an eye on her. When Sheila's secrets spilled out, she kidnapped Lauren and her mother and took them into a barnhouse and set it on fire. Both women managed to survive, but Sheila was on the loose.

I'm going to attach a link to Sheila Carter's thick file of crimes she committed to her dying day: http://soapcentral.com/yr/whoswho/sheila.php.

Enjoy and I already have the first chapter. Please be aware that although the 17-year storyline of Sheila Carter was overwhelmingly well-written and conceptualized, it will not be a part of my story. My Sheila is a psychopath, but in the initial chapters, you will surmise that Sheila was a victim and you will begin to empathize with her.

Until then, take care!

Love, F.
