Bold & Beautiful Shocker: As Fans Cry That Bill Has Gone Too Far, He’s Like, ‘Hold My Beer’
Friday, January 13th, 2023
Please put on your football helmets, folks, because you’re about to hit the roof.
Based on the reaction thus far to the pairing of Bold & Beautiful madwoman Sheila and glum ladies’ man Bill, viewers aren’t going to see the controversial twosome have sex the week of January 16, they’re only going to see red. But the odd couple is indeed going to cement their ill-advised relationship by going all boom-chicka-wow-wow, Soap Opera Digest reports. He even uses the L word — and, for better or worse, we don’t mean “Leave!”

“For the first time in a long time, maybe ever, Bill has found acceptance,” portrayer Don Diamont tells the magazine. “Sheila doesn’t tell him what he can or cannot do.” Of course, why would she when everything that he wants to do at the moment benefits her?
Clearly, Bill is not in his right mind. Heck, he’s so far gone that even Katie and his sons can’t make him see that he’s basically drinking poison, stabbing himself and swimming after eating all at once. If his loved ones don’t like his new girlfriend, what with her habit of kidnapping and trying to kill folks, big whoop. He has no [bleeps] to give.

His Way or the Highway
“The way it is now with Bill, he’s like, ‘Get with the program, or you’re not going to be in my life,'” Diamont says. “Sheila is his sanctuary” — and now a sanctuary with whom he gets horizontal to boot! The only way to part the duo may be… uh-oh.
Yes, only death may part them at this point. We’ve speculated before that Bold & Beautiful had given Sheila so many new enemies that she was bound to land in the morgue. (See who the likeliest suspects are here.) But she may not turn out to be the victim in the seemingly inevitable murder mystery.

Kill Bill?
Someone is surely destined to try to remove Sheila from Bill’s bed, preferably in a body bag. But suppose they only succeed in making a killing, not killing the right person. Suppose in attempting to put the psycho in the grave, they put Bill in the hospital!
Suddenly, Sheila would be without her protector, and one of Bill’s nearest and dearest would be faced with an impossible task: covering their tracks! Then again, the show could just have someone decide to off Bill outright. If he’s become as unhinged and dangerous as his new boo, it would make a twisted sort of sense, no? (Review all the characters who could take aim at Bill here.)

<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Happily. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> At the moment, his mother? Delusional as Sheila is, she somehow believes Finn and his wife will eventually carve out a place for her in their lives. Reality check? They actually simply want to carve her out, period. </p>

<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Over. Until the next crisis. <strong>Their biggest obstacle: </strong>Ridge may have played ping pong with his love one too many times because Brooke finally had enough after his last attempt to run back to her and decided she didn’t need him. Good for you! </p>

<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Done. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> The two have been doing their little dance for years as Bill tried wooing Katie back and she held him at arm’s length. Instead, he turned to…</p>

<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Ride or die lovers. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> Good lord, we hope everyone and everything. She’s a psychopath and he’s a narccissist, so even if one of them <em>isn’t </em>taken out, we feel like the only way this can end is in flames.</p>

5/28
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Friends and co-parents. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> When Finn “died,” we all feared these two would be drawn together again. But aside from her temporarily forgetting that they were no longer married, each remained loyal to their spouses and show no signs of straying. </p>

<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Rekindled Romance. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> Let’s be honest, Sheila or no Sheila, is Bill ever going to let Katie go? With that said, her deciding she was better off without him and Carter moving on from Quinn’s epic ghosting is something we wholeheartedly cheer on. </p>

7/28
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Magnetic exes. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> Brooke’s going her own way and Bill’s making poor choices — like tying himself to Sheila! For now, we’re guessing the magnetism might be a bit weak. </p>

8/28
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> One big, happy family. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> Thomas. He’s kind of all over the place, bouncing between horrendously bad decisions, crushing on Hope and trying to be a good guy. Who knows what he’s going to do next?</p>

9/28
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Former lovers. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> Bill. Sheila is extreme even for Deacon. The two make a great scheme team, but her tendency to kill people doesn’t sit well with him. Bill, on the other hand, seems willing to go the extra mile Deacon never did!</p>

10/28
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Over and done. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> Carter ditched her at the altar the moment Quinn became available. It’s pretty hard to imagine this relationship ever bouncing back from that! </p>
Image: Howard Wise/JPI
11/28
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Separated. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> They got far more years together than anyone could have predicted, but they finally gave in to their passions for others: Eric for Donna and Quinn for Carter. Er, before she skipped town. </p>

12/28
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> In the past… for now. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> If they ever reunite: Bill! No matter who he’s with, we seem him being ticked at this. Also, Katie’s heating up with Carter. In the meantime, Wyatt is still engaged to Flo, but their relationship can’t hold a candle to the passion he shared with Katie!</p>

13/28
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Oddly over. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> After all that huge buildup and Quinn’s dramatic wedding-crashing confession, their love lasted about 2.5 seconds until she left town and dumped Carter off-screen. What the what?</p>

14/28
<p><strong>Current status: </strong>Friends. Ish. <strong>Their biggest obstacle: </strong>They were teased a bit and then… nothing. Instead, Bill shacked up with the woman who tried to <em>murder</em><em> </em>Li. If that’s not a romance killer, we don’t know what is.</p>

15/28
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Engaged forever. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> They’re rivalling Pam and Charlie for longest engagement. Do they even have feelings for each other anymore? If they aren’t married by now, please let the answer be no.</p>

16/28
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Nothing for now. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> Brooke says she doesn’t need a man and Deacon’s still caught up in all that Sheila drama — apparently unaware, though, that she’s got a new “protector” in Bill! These two just seem too messy to go anywhere at the moment. </p>

17/28
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Friends and exes. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> Zende seems more than happy to be her “rebound guy” after Carter, but that over-eagerness is what landed him in trouble with Paris the first time around!</p>

18/28
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Acquaintances. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> Sheila — and distance. At one point, the sparks between them were flying fast and furious… But then Deacon got wrapped up in Sheila and Taylor went back to her Ridge drama. But since Taylor’s moved on and Sheila’s kind of done the same, maybe these two could reconnect!</p>

19/28
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Left in the past. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> Wyatt can never seem to win out over his brother. Hope wanted Liam, and since they now share a kid, Wyatt’s chances seem all but nonexistent!</p>
Image: Howard Wise/JPI
20/28
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Shacking up. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> How many times have they been here before? They’ve got passion aplenty but can she ever really morph into the next Forrester family matriarch? </p>
Image: Howard Wise/JPI
21/28
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Permanently engaged. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> Their own cold feet. We’ve seen dozens of characters tie (and untie) the knot since these two crazy kids fell in love. It’s time to stop stalling and make it official! </p>
Image: Howard Wise/JPI
22/28
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> A rocky… friendship? <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> Hope’s still got a pretty strong marriage to Liam going and Thomas still has a pretty troubling history with her. And his CPS stunt with her mom didn’t exactly score him any points. Anyone know where that mannequin is?</p>

23/28
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Over. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> Ridge will always abandon Taylor for Brooke. <em>Always. </em>And after this last time <em>at their wedding</em>, Taylor seems to have finally understood that as well. She and Brooke have declared themselves done with Ridge and are now friends. And perhaps…</p>

24/28
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Newfound friends. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> Well, folks did <em>not </em>react well to the suggestion that their bonding over their new “Ridge For-Never” club could blossom into something more — but we stand by the <a href="https://soaps.sheknows.com/the-bold-and-the-beautiful/news/656406/brooke-taylor-fall-in-love-bold-beautiful-new-romance/" target="_blank">possibility of a late-in-life discovery</a>. </p>

25/28
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Doner than done. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> When he wanted her, she wanted Zende. When she wanted him, he wanted Quinn. Face it: They just weren’t all that into each other.</p>
Image: Sean Smith/JPI
26/28
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> Ancient history. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> The love/hate relationship between Wyatt’s parents tends to veer toward hate. Also, Quinn left town for reasons unknown. So that doesn’t help. </p>

27/28
<p><strong>Current status:</strong> So far in the past, it doesn’t even irritate Brooke anymore. <strong>Their biggest obstacle:</strong> Ridge misheard Beyonce and thought that if he liked it, he shoulda put a string on it. No, Ridge. Just no.</p>
