The Bold and The Beautiful watchers predict show's next move after fan favorite is killed off

Fans of the CBS soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful are questioning what will happen now that a longtime character was killed off.

Warning, spoilers ahead. 

Sheila Carter, who one X (formerly Twitter) user referred to as ‘the best villainess ever,’ was stabbed to death at the end of the February 26 episode.

Steffy Forrester was the character who committed the murder inside her home after Sheila had broken into the residence.

Sheila was pronounced dead by the cops and the paramedics during yesterday’s episode.

Despite the murder, viewers don't quite believe that the fan favorite character is really dead. Instead, they are speculating that Sheila may return to the show in the future.

The Bold and the Beautiful debuted on March 23, 1987 and is currently airing its 35th season. 

Sheila, who was portrayed by Kimberlin Brown, had been a character on the show since 1992.

Brown first started playing Sheila on The Young and the Restless in 1990 before crossing over to The Bold and the Beautiful.

The starlet’s well-known character found herself in various feuds over the years, one of them being with her daughter-in-law Steffy.

Their hatred for one another escalated after Sheila shot Steffy, her husband, her grandmother, Stephanie, and her stepmother, Brooke.

The women got into another fight prior to Monday’s episode, in which the angry daughter-in-law yelled that she wished Sheila was dead.

Steffy made her wish come true after Sheila broke into her home.

The antagonist was wearing black gloves and a dark coat with a hood covering her face.

Steffy knew right away it was Sheila and told the villainess to ‘stay the h***’ away from her.

She then grabbed a large knife from the kitchen and threatened that she would stab Sheila.

Sheila, who yelled ‘no,’ right before she was stabbed in the chest, bled out on the floor, leaving Steffy speechless.

Steffy later told the police that she saw Sheila in her home after the power went out and that she grabbed the knife because she was trying to protect herself.

‘She lunged at me. I defended myself,’ she said to the officers.

Brown told TV Insider that if anyone was going to take Sheila down, she was happy it was Steffy.

X users are not buying that Steffy really took her down and are writing their theories on what is next for the legendary evil character.

Social media users are not believing that Shelia is really dead and one person finds it hard to believe that 'an iconic character like Shelia Carter' would be killed

'I wonder if this is a bait and switch and Shelia really isn't dead like maybe the real Shelia is the one outside the house and the person that gets stabbed and killed is not the real Shelia...,' one person wrote.

Several X users have found it hard to believe that Shelia is gone for good and a few individuals have dissed the character's death scene.

'This death is worse than a cartoon, for a legend like Sheila Carter/KB, so I don't believe it,' an X user wrote.
