Following last years stint in jail on Days Of Our Lives, when Coco (Lauren Letherer) and Sheila (Tionne Watkins) plotted revenge on Hope (Kristian Alfonso) until she was swiftly released, you’d think that was the last we’d see of the terrifying duo.

But Sheila is making her return to the show in a slightly different role – she has been released from prison and is now the new housekeeper for the Kiriakis!

However, don’t be fooled by the new role. “Don’t let the maid outfit throw you all off!”, says Brian Amlani.

Tune in to the episode, which airs on Friday Sept 8 on NBC to find out what tricks Sheila has up her sleeves!

TLC listed in The 150 Greatest Albums Made By Women

crazysexycool-tlc_sq-58e3ee182783438f4f65ca353aaeebe81844243f-s500-c85

Hardly surprising, TLC‘s excellent sophomore album, 1994’s ‘CrazySexyCool‘ has been named in the 150 Greatest Albums Made By Women list, compiled by NPR (National Public Radio).

This list, of the greatest albums made by women between 1964 and the present, is an intervention, a remedy, a correction of the historical record and hopefully the start of a new conversation. Compiled by nearly 50 women from across NPR and the public radio system and produced in partnership with Lincoln Center, it rethinks popular music to put women at the center.’

The album is placed at #26 with the following narration to support it’s reasoning for the position:

‘The album title says it all. With this record, TLC invented a new hybrid adjective and created a sound to match. CrazySexyCool posited that there’s no one way to exist — as a woman, as a partner, as a friend. These songs are about women who are always real, women who can be unabashed about their sexuality, tender or righteously distant, depending on the moment. They’re wise without being condescending or aloof; Chilli, T-Boz and Left Eye make it plain that they’re telling the truth. Their delivery embodies “crazysexycool,” too. In “Waterfalls,” for example, the gone but not forgotten Left Eye serves thirty seconds of flow that rank among the best of all time. It should go without saying that almost all pop music to come after this record owes it a debt. But TLC’s impact went way beyond the music. The question of whether their project is “feminist” is perhaps misguided; the popular understanding of the word failed to even include them. But with baggy clothes, condom accessories celebrating safe sex, an undying commitment to each other — and yes, a knack for exerting control over the very definitions of “sexy” and “cool” — TLC was an undeniable revolution.’ —Jenny Gathright (NPR Staff)
