Two moves The Bold and the Beautiful's Sheila Carter could make next

The Bold and the Beautiful character Sheila Carter was the odd woman out in the triangle with Sheila, her husband, Deacon, and his therapist, Dr. Taylor Hayes. We've seen that Sheila's not out of the picture, however. And if she doesn't make Taylor and Deacon's lives miserable, we can think of a few other directions in which she could go.

Paging Nurse Sheila Carter

B&B paid a nice tribute to the early days of Sheila Carter when she was the nurse at Forrester Creations by having her don a nurse's uniform to sneak into Taylor's (Rebecca Budig) office to confront her over her affair with Deacon (Sean Kanan).

Deacon asked Sheila, still wearing the uniform, if she was going back to her "Nurse Carter" days. He was joking, but maybe that's not such a bad idea. We don't see Sheila staying on at Il Giardino now that Deacon told her about his feelings for Taylor.

Sheila's going to need an income, so why shouldn't she try to get her nursing license back and get a job at the hospital? If she did, that would put her in proximity to her son, Finn (Tanner Novlan), and she'd be involved in some medical storylines. Finn knows what his biological mom is capable of doing, but he still finds it difficult to turn his back on her fully.

Now, Sheila doesn't exactly have the trust of everyone in town, given her past. But once she helped out with a few medical maladies, that might change. Sheila might want to hang onto that nurse's uniform that she, er, "borrowed." It might come in handy in the future.

Finding Forrester

Once upon a time, Sheila was ensconced at Forrester Creations as the company nurse and in the Forrester family as Eric's wife. Forrester Creations may or may not need a nurse these days. And, even if they did, we couldn't see Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) or Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) signing off on rehiring Sheila.

But Sheila may fall into the Forrester family's orbit through her connection to Eric Forrester (John McCook). When Sheila returned to Los Angeles years ago, Eric was one of her surprising supporters. What if Sheila were to aid Eric in a medical crisis, or what if Sheila finagled her divorce papers from Eric and argued that she was still Mrs. Eric Forrester?

Maybe Sheila wouldn't even have to lie? What if the divorce papers had never properly been filed? That would mean not only were Eric's marriages to Stephanie (Susan Flannery) and Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang), as they briefly got married a second time, null and void, but so were Eric's unions with both Quinn (Rena Sofer) and Donna (Jennifer Gareis)!

Sheila could utilize her legal standing as Mrs. Eric Forrester to demand a percentage of Forrester Creations before she'd give him a divorce. That could lead to all kinds of troubles between Eric, Donna, and the future of Forrester Creations!
