The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers document that Deacon Sharpe (Sean Kanan) had a good heart-to-heart with his grown son. He admitted that Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig) makes him feel good.

That was an ominous statement and one that Sheila Carter Sharpe (Kimberlin Brown) wouldn’t want to hear. But she’s put herself in a bad spot. It could extend their separation and lead to divorce.

Deacon feels he can’t trust his wife but still loves her. However, Taylor repeated to Sheila what she had reinforced with Deacon. His wife chose Luna Nozawa (2025 Daytime Emmy Award-winner Lisa Yamada) over him.

Is Taylor Hayes Crossing Ethical Lines?

It would be easy to answer the subject header with a yes or no. But this is a more nuanced question, which fits soap timelines perfectly.

Deacon needs to explore his feelings rather than just bolt from Sheila, leaving the audience wondering. The couple might have an indefinite separation, and Taylor surely isn’t encouraging a return to his wife.

Would a real-world psychiatrist agree to see the husband of a woman who tried killing her daughter?

Taylor decided that she could separate her personal feelings for Sheila from her professional judgments. But if that’s true, then why did she voluntarily inject Luna’s name into the conversation and play Sheila’s defense of her as an either-or choice?

The answer to the above question seems obvious. Unless her line of conversation changes in upcoming sessions, Taylor is trying to steer Deacon away from Sheila because she believes she’s a destabilizing influence.

Deke Sharpe And Hope Logan Are Worried About Their Dad

Eric Deke Sharpe (Harrison Cone) hadn’t been seen on B&B since 2003, when he was a young child. This character appeared on sister show, The Young and the Restless, in 2010, and appeared to be in his later elementary school years.

Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) was dealing with the end of one relationship, with Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor), and the restart of another, with Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton).

Deke’s conversation with his dad followed one Hope had with Deacon. Both of Deacon’s children have joined in telling their father that they are concerned about him, specifically because of Sheila.

So, they agree with Taylor.

Deacon Sharpe’s Decision May Impact Many Lives

For the moment, Deacon needs to focus on himself. After he’s had a chance to see if his thoughts and feelings are aligned, then he’ll be prepared to make a final decision about the state of his marriage.

Deacon needs more time after learning that Sheila kept Luna’s existence a secret from him. That was a significant event, but it’s also one that he can choose to forgive if Deacon’s able to maintain trust with his wife.

Yet, he also knows that many people could be endangered if he breaks from Sheila for good. That realistic assessment puts him in what feels like an impossible position.
