B&B Spoilers: Patrick Duffy’s Return Too Short – Bill And Sheila Are A Bad Dream?

The Bold and the Beautiful (B&B) spoilers document that Patrick Duffy (Stephen Logan) was not seen on the show since 2011. Viewers recall Stephen reappeared, along with on-screen and off-screen romantic interest Lucy (Linda Purl), around Thanksgiving.

The above happened weeks after Kimberlin Brown (Sheila Carter) celebrated thirty years on B&B, following her famous crossover from The Young and the Restless in 1992. A special Halloween episode included Sheila in her classic nurse uniform. Plus, Lauren Fenmore (Tracey Bregman) flew in to meet with Eric Forrester (John McCook), and they discussed Sheila’s supposed death.

Maybe Sheila did die, and all that has happened since a certain point in the storyline reflects a dream sequence like one of the most iconic television dream reveals of all-time that included Duffy in 1986.

The  Bold And The Beautiful Spoilers – Man From Atlantis Goes To Dallas

In the early part of his burgeoning career, Duffy appeared in a series of television movies dubbed Man from Atlantis. The science fiction show had Duffy’s character, Mark Harris, as an amnesiac who was the last surviving resident of the fabled Atlantis civilization.

The 1977 television movies performed well. That led to a series green-lighting for the 1977-78 season. But the series did not do well in the television ratings and was canceled.

If Atlantis had succeeded, Duffy might never have been part of Dallas, where he portrayed Bobby Ewing. Dallas became the arguably greatest nighttime soap opera in television history, debuting in April 1978, lasting as a series through 1991, continuing in TV movie form for years after, and then reviving as a series from 2012 through 2014.

B&B Spoilers – Pam Ewing Was Dreaming?

Pam Ewing (Victoria Principal) was shocked when she awakened, heard the shower running, got up, and saw Bobby. That season-ending episode was broadcast in May 1986.

Viewers had to wait until the start of the next season to learn Pam was not dreaming. Instead, Duffy, who left the show a year prior, with Bobby apparently being killed off, triumphantly returned to his role. Viewers learned Bobby was not killed by a car and that the prior season’s events were all part of Pam’s dream, which proved highly controversial.

Duffy advised that the reveal was intentionally kept secret from most off-screen personnel and from Principal. It was a legendary follow-up to the ground-breaking Who Shot J.R. Ewing (Larry Hagman) episodes that stirred tens of millions of viewers in 1980.

The Bold And The Beautiful Spoilers – Sheila Carter Is Alive And With Bill Spencer?

Sheila is B&B’s greatest of all-time villain. The audience has often suspended disbelief when accepting the outrageous, seemingly impossible, and sometimes otherworldly actions she has taken across the decades.

Stephen was said to have returned to, of all places, Dallas when he left Los Angeles, California, in 2011. His 2022 return to LA surprised viewers and his Logan daughters.

So, would fans accept an eventual reveal that could have started approximately when Duffy briefly reprised his role as the Logan patriarch?

Sheila escapes from prison, pretends to be eaten to death by a bear, initially fools Deacon Sharpe (Sean Kanan) with a disguise and then lives with him for months, bumps into Steffy Forrester Finnegan (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) outside of Il Giardino’s bathroom, happens to meet Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) on the beach, they fall in love, and are blackmailing the Finnegans to keep Brown’s character free.

The above reads like a B&B storyline. Although, it could also be a Dallas-like dream that will be eventually revealed, with storyline resets to follow.
