Character History
Sheila arrived in fictional Llanview as the rehabilitation therapist who assists leading heroine Viki Lord Buchanan in recovering from a stroke in 1990. Sheila becomes the love interest of Llanview police chief Troy Nichols; Sheila's younger sister Rika Price (Vanita Harbour) was a scholarship student at Llanview University. Enormously overprotective of Rika, Sheila objected to Rika dating Troy's troublesome son Kerry Nichols. This situation caused much tension between Sheila and Troy. Rika and Kerry left town in 1991; Troy remained until 1993. Rika was never mentioned again, not even showing up for Sheila's wedding to Hank Gannon.
Sheila's previously never-mentioned brother Dr. Ben Price (Charles Malik Whitfield from 1993–94, Peter Parros 1994–95) arrives to town in 1993, and steals Rachel Gannon away from Kevin Buchanan. Ben saves Viki's life by determining the cause of the deadly flu virus that was sweeping through Llanview. Still, Rachel dumps him and he loses his job at the hospital. Ben briefly flirts with Marty Saybrooke, but nothing comes of it; he leaves town in 1995.
After suffering a miscarriage, Sheila divorces Hank and leaves Llanview in 1996.

Famous quotes containing the words character and/or history:
“For character too is a process and an unfolding ... among our valued friends is there not someone or other who is a little too self confident and disdainful; whose distinguished mind is a little spotted with commonness; who is a little pinched here and protruberent there with native prejudices; or whose better energies are liable to lapse down the wrong channel under the influence of transient solicitations?”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“Hence poetry is something more philosophic and of graver import than history, since its statements are rather of the nature of universals, whereas those of history are singulars.”
—Aristotle (384–322 B.C.)
