Is the town of Salem ready for the return of it’s most loved former-felon?

Soap fans as well as TLC fans can breathe a sigh of relief, after having a hint of hope that Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins will be reprising her role as Sheila Watkins in the hit soap, ‘Days Of Our Lives’.

The great news was broke via a brief report on the soap website SheKnows on Nov 1. T-Boz last graced our television screens as Sheila back in May, when she voluntarily quit her role as Mayor Abe Carver‘s (James Reynolds) secretary to save his political campaign, following the kiss they shared together!

Although there are no concrete dates yet announced for her return, it is expected that she will be back on the show approximately in March.

As fans of the show know, ‘Days Of Our Lives’ is filmed 6 months in advance to the air date. With T-Boz expected to return in March 2020 means she will have began filming scenes for the show in September 2019.

Sheila has come a long way since her arrival on the show back in 2016, when she first appeared as a bad girl prisoner who gave Hope (Kristian Alfonso) hell when they were in jail together. Sheila wasn’t keen on having a cop as a roomie and gave Hope a couple of beat downs!

She returned to our screens in 2017 to assist Bonnie Lockhart (Judi Evans) in a doppelganger plotline, assisting her convict buddy in maintaining a false life living as Adrienne Kiriakis in her mansion. Sheila posed as a laidback maid until the truth was exposed and they both fled town.

Sheila then returned in 2018, once again assisting Bonnie in another crooked scheme, bringing in Bonnie’s baby granddaughter as her own to blackmail Lucas.

Following her departure from the show, T-Boz made a brief cameo appearance on the hit WE TV show, ‘Growing Up Hip-Hop: Atlanta, as well as lending her commentary to the Netflix documentary ‘Hip-Hop Evolution and a Jermaine Dupri documentary for WE TV.

Are you excited for some more Sheila Watkins shenanigans on Days?

IMG_20190428_160030.jpg

Days Of Our Lives actress and TLC superstar Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins is once again set to depart Salem as the sassy and outspoken ex-con, Sheila Watkins.

The sad news comes just as her character is finally finding her feet in town and has developed feelings for Mayor Abe Carver (James Reynolds).

This week, she and mayoral candidate Abe get a little frisky, but Abe’s snakey opponent Jack (Matthew Ashford) catches them in the act, and decides to use his findings to smear Abe’s reputation.

It’s for this reason that the good-hearted Sheila took it on the chin and decides to save Abe’s skin and voluntarily quits her position as his assistant and leaves Salem to give his career a better chance at surviving the scandal.

In the meantime, Sheila rekindled her friendship with Eli (Lamon Archey) and eventually landed herself a job with the Mayor, thanks to Abe’s daughter Lani (Sal Stowers) who just wanted Sheila to get a job, after feeling jealous of her spending so much time with Eli.

Sheila has come and gone many times, so her departure may only be temporary. There’s no word on what the future holds for Sheila yet, but it’s nice to see that the door is being kept open for a possible return in the future.

T-Boz has always been open about her wishes to continue with her role as Sheila Watkins for the long-term in the hit television soap, and fans love her comical and witty personality, which brings a breath of fresh air to the show, so it would only make sense to bring Sheila back one day.

However, fans needn’t worry about losing their regular fix of Watkins on TV, as she has been confirmed to star in the hit WEtv series Growing Up Hip Hop: Atlanta which starts during the summer of 2019.

T-Boz as Sheila Catching Feelings For Mayor Carver in Days?

InShot_20190405_083310978.jpg

Love could be in the air in Salem this week!

Sheila Watkins listens to Abe Carver rant about Jack and Eve in the pub, thinking of Haley as some dangerous criminal. Abe is worried that Jack could win.

Abe thinks Jack is sharp and that he’ll twist his words. Sheila suggests Abe should fight back. Abe admits he compromised his integrity by allowing Ted to stay on as DA when he’s crooked.

Abe decided it was better than having a corrupt mayor. Sheila thinks Abe should bring up Jack being a rapist but Kayla’s his friend. He can’t, so Sheila suggests he play matchmaker with him and Jennifer.

Abe refuses, patronising Sheila and refers to her ideas as ‘colourful’. “So, I guess Law & Order Abe Carver doesn’t need advice from ex-con Sheila from the hood“, Sheila fumes, grabbing her bag and tries to leave.

Abe quickly jumps up to prevent Sheila from leaving the table, telling her how much he appreciates her support.

The pair share a moment gazing into each others eyes and move closer together.

Is this the sign of their friendship developing into something deeper?
