There’s one major rewrite that’s been puzzling us for some time on #BoldAndBeautiful, and we’re about to see it in a major way today! But hey, maybe we’ll finally get a better explanation as to why the big change!
Hallelujah, we’re finally getting the scene we’ve been waiting for since The Bold and the Beautiful brought Deacon’s son, Deke back
onscreen as a young adult. On Tuesday, October 7th, Deke’s surprising Hope — and the siblings finally get to interact!
The thing is, we’ve been so eager to see these two together because we’ve been hoping it might give us some clue as to one of Bold & Beautiful’s most baffling rewrites in recent ages: making Deke considerably younger than his little sister!
While newer viewers might not be aware, we’re sure long-time fans remember that Deke was born to Deacon and Amber’s cousin, Becky, back in 1999 — three years before Hope! That’s not a huge difference, and if the two had both been SORASed (Soap Opera Rapid Aging Syndrome) to about the same age, we’d have an easier time shrugging off who was older. But while Hope was aged into her 30s, Deke, it seems, was de-aged into his early 20s.
And why? Just to make him Remy’s age? We don’t deny that Bold & Beautiful could use more younger folks to tee up to carry the next generation of the show (especially ones who aren’t sociopaths like Luna), but there were other legacy characters out there. Nick and Brooke’s vanished son, Jack, for instance, who was born in 2007. Or what about Bridget and Owen’s son, Logan, who they were, for a time, raising with Jackie?
So maybe Deke and Hope will give us a better idea as to why he was de-aged so drastically. Was there more than just to make him Remy’s boyfriend? We’ve got a sneaking suspicion the is “No,” but we’re more than happy to be wrong!
